There is a new celebrity drug scandal every few months so since the latest one involves Miley Cyrus has just been caught smoking a bong, The Frisky have come up with 13 other celebrities that have been caught doing a bit of drugs.
OK, I kind of have to give it up for the headline “Harry Pothead.” A 2009 cover of London’s Daily Mail featured a big old photo of Daniel Radcliffe, his face painted, puffing on what they claim is a joint. The shot was taken at a party held at his sometime-girlfriend’s apartment, and a fellow party-goer totally narc-ed on him. “Daniel was laughing and seemed to find it funny,” she said. “But he didn’t really look like he knew what was going on.” Daniel’s camp is, of course, rushing to his defense. “We categorically deny the allegations regarding Daniel Radcliffe published in today’s Daily Mirror,” his publicist said. “Daniel does smoke the occasional roll-up cigarette, but he was not doing anything more than this.”
In 2008, TMZ posted a pic of Kristen Stewart smoking what they alleged was a bowl.
In 2004, The National Enquirer had a fruit of a story—Charlize Theron smoking what appeared to be pot out of an apple. Her camp had no comment on the images.
Everyone thought Kate Moss’s career was over when images of her cutting lines of cocaine appeared on the cover of The Daily Mail in 2005. But this girl has more lives than a cat. After an apology and stint in rehab, she came back—landing a cover of Vanity Fair and more campaigns than ever.
The video never surfaced—which makes us a little suspect that it never existed. But in 2008, The National Enquirer claimed to have gotten its hand on a video of Angelina Jolie snorting coke and doing heroin in the ‘90s. In the footage, she supposedly says, “Wow, this is really good smack—not that cheap crap that’s been stepped on.”
In 2007, paparazzi caught Mischa Barton puffing on a rolled item in the driver’s seat of her car. It was almost like foreshadowing—a year later she was arrested for possession and driving under the influence of marijuana.
This is strange. A full month before that nakey tape of Rebecca Gayheart, Eric Dane, and Kari Ann Peniche appeared on the internet, the National Enquirer ran a picture of Rebecca, before she met Eric, naked in the bathtub with another woman, holding what is allegedly a crack pipe and lighter.
A few days after Paris Hilton told Larry King that she’d never done drugs, a video clip of her supposedly smoking a pipe in an Amsterdam hash bar popped up on the internet. Here’s a still shot.
It’s actually hard to count the number of times Amy Winehouse has been caught on camera puffing on what sure looks like a joint. This is just one example
Michael Phelps went the apology route hardcore when News of the World revealed a picture of him smoking a bong at a party in 2008.
In 2007, a “friend” of Lindsay Lohan’s released a tape that supposedly shows her snorting coke in the bathroom stall of a New York bathroom.
The Blemish posted oodles of pix of Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore sharing what appears to be a joint on vacation in Hawaii in 2007.
In 2009, Zac Braff was photographed in a New York club doing a little puff puff of something.
I find it funny how most of these celebrities were caught just smoking weed,

Forbes have come up with yet another annual list and this time it’s Hollywoods most overpaid actors, it seems being a comedian is hard work because 6 out of the 10 actors are comedy actors. To come up with this list they compared the actors paycheck to the overall box office revenue. There is only one woman on the list.
Will Ferrell
The former Saturday Night Live star built up to a big payday with a series of successful films, like Elf and Talladega Nights. But a big payday puts a star at risk when it comes to return on investment: His movies have to be home runs. So Land of the Lost, which cost an estimated $100 million to make and earned only $69 million, really hurt the star. For every $1 Ferrell was paid, his films earned an average $3.35.
Eddie Murphy
Murphy was once a sure bet in family-friendly comedies like Dr. Dolittle and Daddy Day Care. He’s still a sure bet in animated films like Shrek, but thanks to two big flops (Imagine That and Meet Dave) he’s become box office poison when it comes to live action films. For every $1 Murphy gets paid, his films earn an average $4.45.
Denzel Washington
Later this month the leading man will star in the film Unstoppable, a prototypical Washington flick. It is directed by Tony Scott, who has partnered with Washington five times before, and features the actor as an everyman hero–on a runaway train. Here’s hoping it helps his return-on-investment number. For every $1 Washington earned, his films returned an average $5.10.
Seth Rogen
The funny man got hit by a movie called (ironically) Funny People. The Judd Apatow-produced film cost $75 million to make and earned only $71 million at the box office. His upcoming superhero movie, The Green Hornet, doesn’t look like it will improve his standing much. It was moved from Christmas to an inauspicious January release date. For every $1 Rogen was paid, his movies earned $6.75.
Tom Cruise
Cruise was once the biggest movie star in the world. Now he seems in constant search of a comeback. Valkyrie didn’t do it, despite a respectable $200 million take at the global box office. Knight & Day with Cameron Diaz (which hit theaters after our deadline for consideration) also failed to make an impact. Now Cruise fans are focused on the upcoming fourth installment of his successful Mission: Impossible series. For every $1 Cruise was paid, his films earned an average $7.20.
Drew Barrymore
Barrymore has struggled at the box office lately. Films like Lucky You and Everybody’s Fine have underperformed. Her latest romantic comedy, Going the Distance, did a bit better, earning $42 million at the box office on a budget of $32 million. That movie came out after our deadline, but it’s unlikely to help her return on investment number much. For every $1 Barrymore was paid, her films earned an average $7.45.
Matt Damon
When he appears in the Bourne films Damon is a fantastic return on investment. Outside of those movies, not so much. Green Zone, Invictus and The Informant all underperformed. Unfortunately for Damon, it looks like he’s not going to appear in the next Bourne film. Until he has another big hit, for every $1 Damon gets paid, his films earn an average $8.30.
Vince Vaughn
The actor had a big hit with Four Christmases, but it was overshadowed by Fred Claus, which earned only $98 million at the global box office. Vaughn continues to stay in his comedic comfort zone with his upcoming Ron Howard film The Dilemma, which has come under fire for using a gay joke in the trailer. For every $1 Vaughn was paid, his films earned $8.35.
Adam Sandler
Sandler had a huge hit with the movie Grown Ups. It was his highest grossing movie ever at the global box office with $270 million in ticket sales. But that movie came out after our deadline. For the sake of this list, Sandler’s average was weighed down by the film Funny People, which grossed only $71 million. For every $1 Sandler was paid, his films earned an average $8.45.
Jim Carrey
Carrey’s last movie, Yes Man, was a bona fide hit. Unfortunately the two other films we counted for this list, The Number 23 and Fun With Dick & Jane, were not. Carrey is taking a huge chance with his next film, I Love You Phillip Morris, in which he plays a gay con artist who gets thrown in jail. For every $1 Carrey was paid, his films earned $8.60.

In an interview with the London Daily Standard, Drew Barrymore really opened up.
Not about her new romantic comedy ‘Going the Distance’ and not about working with on-again, off-again beau Justin Long. In fact, she went off about a reporter who’d just interviewed her!
“You should have heard this bitch I had to do an interview with before you. God, I wanted to punch her, she would just not drop the youth thing. I have no problem talking about it. I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they in turn were my life lessons,” she recalled to the London Daily Standard.
The actress continued, “It’s actually good to get it done young and have a great life later. But yeah, man, I wanted to rip this woman’s face off. She just would not shut up about it.”
Barrymore never names the reporter or the publication that asked the probing questions. Quick note to self: keep “wild child” questions to a minimum next time we interview Ms. Barrymore.

TGIF! As always, we’ve got the best of the best in celebrity quotes this week! We’ve got Kanye West’s caps lock Twitter-fest, Tina Fey’s Brad Pitt crush and Zac Efron’s strip club escapades. Enjoy!
“I’m pretty sure we’re going to meet at some point. I’ve sent him over 100 letters saying that I’m pretty sure we’re going to meet. And 100 chunks of my hair. If that’s not a great gift, then one of us is crazy.”
– Tina Fey, who has yet to meet her Megamind animated film costar Brad Pitt, to People
“Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley…Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )”
– Kanye West, starting his Twitter account on the wrong key
“I’ve heard a lot about these places, mostly from rap music. They’re supposed to be pretty reputable, right? So I envisioned myself on a nice couch in stunna shades with T-Pain and Usher making it rain money. And it just wasn’t like that.”
– Zac Efron, ‘fessing up to his publicized trip to a strip club with HSM costar Corbin Bleu, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“I think that Cameron could kick the s— out of me. Personally, she’s extremely fit. She has long legs. She has reach, incredible leg reach. She surfs and has great stamina. So she could whip my ass good, I’ll tell you that.”
– Seth Rogen, singling out his Green Hornet costar Cameron Diaz as the girl who could beat him up, to People
“It’s funny because usually it’s the girl who’s naked. I was like, ‘That’s right, bitch. The tables are turned!’”
– Drew Barrymore, on having boyfriend Justin Long take it all off in their romantic comedy Going the Distance, to Nylon magazine
“I need to get my Brazilian wax before I do it.”
– Enrique Iglesias, on water skiing naked for losing a World Cup bet, to People
“I love my high heels. I’ll kick ass in four inches, pregnant any day of the week.”
– Resident Evil: Afterlife star and mom-to-be Ali Larter, at San Diego Comic-Con
“Justin Bieber is on fire right now! If you see him in any Rolls Royce or Lamborghini’s, it might be mine…but it’s his for the day.”

– President Barack Obama, on not being invited to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, on The View
What was your favorite quote this week? Mine was Russell Brand’s alternative album cover for Katy’s new release. He looks like a complete dork, but he’s comfortable with that.

Sometimes in Hollywood a script calls for actresses to tone down their makeup or gain a bit of weight, which leads us to this list. Now I don’t think any of these actresses are that ugly in the roles they play, some of them are just wearing barely any makeup but some of them do look a bit like death.
20. Katherine Heigl
Katherine toned down her stunning looks to play the plain Jane in ’27 Dresses.’ Are we really supposed to believe that a dishwater-blond dye job is supposed to make Hiegl “ugly”?
19. Drew Barrymore
Drew played the dorky Josie Geller in ‘Never Been Kissed’ but ugly clothes, no make-up and a dorky hairdo couldn’t hide the fact she was a stunning woman.
18. Linda Cardellini
Linda is stunning but she often plays homely characters. She tried her best to convince us that she was an ugly nerd as Velma in 2002′s ‘Scooby-Doo.’ Unfortunately for Linda, we can see past those hideous wedges and wig to know she is actually gorgeous in real life.
17. Christina Ricci
Christina is so cute that the only way to make her homely is to stick on a disgusting pig nose onto her face. Ricci played the unfortunately-nosed title character of the film ‘Penelope.’
16. America Ferrera
Perhaps the most common example of a pretty actress who plays ugly is America in her role as Betty in ‘Ugly Betty.’ Again, dowdy clothes and nerdy accessories are brought in to turn the stunning America into a (sort of believable) nerd, but we all know that America is gorgeous in real life.
15. Cameron Diaz
Cameron played the homely Lotte in ‘Being John Malkovich’ with the aid of a frizzy wig and brown eye contacts. Because we all know how brown eyes/curly hair equals homely!
14. Anne Hathaway
If there is ever a “makeover” scene in a film you can guarantee that the pre-makeover character will be wearing glasses and ugly clothes. So it is no surprise that Anne had to get ugly for her breakout role in ‘The Princess Diaries.’
13. Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett is lusted after by almost every man in America but men weren’t exactly clamoring for her attention in her breakout role as am awkward, snarky teenager in ‘Ghost World.’
12. Tina Fey
Every Thursday Tina tries to convince us that she is the unattractive Liz Lemon on NBC’s ’30 Rock.’ Sure, trying to pass off Fey as ugly is pretty unbelievable but the show is funny enough for us to ignore this ridiculous element.
11. Michelle Williams
Michelle typically plays “pretty girl” roles but in the indie film ‘Wendy and Lucy’ she tried her best to look homely. We guess all it takes to look ugly is to have an unfortunate short haircut and an unflattering pair of jorts.
10. Nicole Kidman
Nicole popped on a fake nose to get “ugly” to play Virginia Woolf in ‘The Hours.’ Despite how the film portrayed her, Woolf was actually a celebrated beauty during her time. But “pretty” doesn’t translate to “Oscar” for Hollywood actresses.
9. Chloe Sevigny
Chloe is known for her good looks and fashionable taste off-camera but she dialed up the dowdiness for Nikki Grant in HBO’s ‘Big Love.’ It is hard to make a pompadour and a French braid look cute, but Chloe somehow finds a way to make it work.
8. Jenna Fisher
Jenna scrunched her hair with a full can of mousse to make us believe she was the plain Pam in NBC’s ‘The Office.’ That hairstyle and boring office clothing could make even the most gorgeous woman look plain.
7. Elisabeth Moss
Pretty Elisabeth got the world’s worst bangs to play the unattractive but ambitious Peggy Olson in AMC’s ‘Mad Men.’ Again, Hollywood’s answer to make pretty actresses unattractive is a horrible haircut.
6. Kaitlin Olson
Kaitlin tries her best to come off as unattractive as Dee Reynolds in ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ but we can all tell she is stunning when not dressed up to look like a white trash slob. Why are so many leading women in comedy shows forced to play ugly?
5. Hilary Swank
Hilary is a stunning woman but she made us believe she was a dowdy transgendered man for her Oscar-winning role in ‘Boys Don’t Cry.’
4. Mariah Carey
Mariah shocked the world when she stripped off her diva glamor and played a plain-looking social worker in ‘Precious.’
3. Felicity Huffman
One of Hollywood’s favorite way to ugly-up actresses is to make them play a transgendered person. Felicity played male-to-female transsexual Bree for 2005′s ‘Transamerica.’
2. Charlize Theron
Charlize surprised audiences everywhere when she portrayed a homeless, murdering hooker in 2003′s ‘Monster,’ which earned her an Oscar. Looking at the picture of the two, it is still hard to believe that they are even the same person.
1. Amy Sedaris
Perhaps one of the greatest examples of “getting ugly for a role” is Amy playing Jerri Blank in the brilliant TV show (and later, movie) ‘Strangers With Candy.’ Sedaris played up Jerri’s ugliness so much that it almost became an art form.
Do you agree with this list? I would take out Katherine Heigl and add in Renee Zellweger for playing Bridget Jones.

A lot of child stars fade away or else end up on drugs and ruin what hope they could have had a long lasting career, I’m looking at you Lindsay Lohan, but some of them actually do make. Here are 13 child stars who had a long career.
Natalie Portman
Spotted in a Long Island pizza parlor at age 11 by a modeling rep, Portman landed the role of an assassin’s sad-eyed sidekick in 1994′s The Professional one year later. Unlike most of her Hollywood peers, Portman (who uses a stage name to protect her family from media attention) took a break from acting — to study psychology at Harvard. She says her parents keep her grounded. ”I value my private life and security way more than getting parts by flashing my boobs on some magazine or being a sex symbol in films,” she told EW in 2000. —Chris Nashawaty
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio was barely 16 when he began popping up on TV, and before he’d even hit 20 there were clear signs of the nuanced work to come. In fact, in 1993, it was impossible not to notice the kid who held his own against a tyrannical Robert DeNiro in This Boy’s Life as well as channeling a mentally-challenged boy in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. Three years later, the post-modern Romeo + Juliet made DiCaprio a budding hearthrob, a job title he virtually redefined following the colossal success of Titanic in 1997. DiCaprio spent years avoiding celebrity and making dodgy choices. Beginning with Gangs of New York in 2002, however, he found a rewarding niche as Martin Scorsese’s go-to leading man. Nice work if you can get it. —Jeff Giles
Ron Howard
Born into an acting family in Oklahoma, Howard was The Andy Griffith Show’s freckle-faced Opie at 6. By 19, he was the star of Happy Days. But Howard’s interest always lay behind the camera — he shadowed George Lucas on the set of 1973′s American Graffiti and soon thereafter enrolled at USC film school. ”I was disappointed by the scripts I was getting after Graffiti,” he told EW in 1999. ”So I had a decision to make.” Howard chose directing. Twenty movies and four Oscar nominations later, it’s clear he made the right call. —Chris Nashawaty
Neil Patrick Harris
You could argue it began with his Golden Globe-nominated feature film debut in 1988′s Clara’s Heart, but we all knew Harris as Doogie Howser, MD, the 16-year-old doctor giving his appendicitis-suffering girlfriend Wanda a pelvic exam. (It’s still traumatizing.) Today, he’s a Broadway vet, an Internet star (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog), a three-time Emmy nominee for his work on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother, and the man you call to host the Tonys and Emmys and to open the Oscars. In other words, he’s still an overachiever. —Mandi Bierly
Jodie Foster
At 3, Foster was the Coppertone kid. By 6, she was a regular on TV. And by 14, she was nominated for an Oscar for Taxi Driver. Foster left Tinseltown to attend Yale and later returned to acting feeling more centered. By age 29, she’d won Best Actress Oscars for The Accused and The Silence of the Lambs and directed her first film, Little Man Tate. ”Everybody tells you as a child actor that by the time you’re 18, it’ll be over,” she told EW in 2007. ”My mom got me … prepared for that …. My goal [was] to be in this for a really long time.” —Chris Nashawaty
Ryan Gosling
Gosling got his first big break at age 12 on TV’s The Mickey Mouse Club (along with castmates Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Keri Russell). ”Those kids were prodigies,” Gosling said to EW in 2007, crediting the Disney show for surrounding him with other young performers he could relate to and instilling discipline. Now he is one of Hollywood’s best young actors and has scored an Oscar nom for 2006′s Half Nelson. —Chris Nashawaty
Anna Paquin
As a wide-eyed 11-year-old, Paquin became the second youngest Oscar winner in history, taking home Best Supporting Actress for her role 1993′s The Piano. Working steadily in arthouse films (Hurlyburly), blockbusters (the X-Men trilogy), and TV, she’s now a Golden Globe winner for her performance as telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse on HBO’s True Blood. —Mandi Bierly
Ricky Schroder
Child stars never came cuter than Schroder in the 1979 tearjerker The Champ. By 12, he was starring on Silver Spoons, and at 28 (as ”Rick”), he took a high-profile role on NYPD Blue. ”There was never a period in my life when I didn’t work,” the actor told USA Today in 1998. ”I’ve always done two movies a year; they may not be blockbusters, but they’ve been good, honorable work.” —Chris Nashawaty
Drew Barrymore
For a while there, it looked like Barrymore might end up as a child-actor cautionary tale. Heir to a legendary acting dynasty, she was cast in a Puppy Chow commercial at just 11 months old. At 7, the adorable moppet played Gertie in E.T. Her tweens were a soap opera of drugs, alcohol, and virtually no parental supervision — she had her first drink at 9 and was in rehab by 13. She got sober the next year. ”I had to figure everything out for myself,” she told People in 2004. Today Barrymore is among the most bankable — and dependable — actresses in Hollywood. She also directs (Whip It). —Chris Nashawaty
Joseph Gordon Leavitt
The script version of his life would have him checking into a reality TV show with other faded child sitcom stars. Gordon-Levitt, who’d popped up with guest turns on TV series from the time he was 7, really hit it big at the awkward age of 15 on the hit show Third Rock from the Sun. Grounded by his time at Columbia University, Gordon-Levitt has since proved himself not only a fierce actor but a nifty song-and-dance man in the utterly romantic (500) Days of Summer. —Karen Valby
Jason Bateman
Bateman made his debut at 12 on Little House on the Prairie. His father was a TV director, and both he (Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family) and his sister, Justine (Family Ties), were household names before they could drive. Bateman admits to some lost years in the ’90s, but his persistence paid off (Arrested Development, Juno). ”I want to be around for a long time,” he told EW in 2007. ”Now that I’ve got another flash of relevancy, I don’t want to screw it up.” —Chris Nashawaty
Raven Symone
Raven was 3 when she showed up in the Huxtables’ living room — and ours. As The Cosby Show’s precocious Olivia, she was a regular on the sitcom’s last three seasons before enjoying a second act (if you can have a second act at 6!) on Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper. Since then, the now 24-year-old has juggled TV (That’s So Raven) and a music career. ”No matter how old you are, if your name is up there, they’re going to treat you like an adult,” she told EW in 2007. ”You can have fun, but it’s a job.” —Chris Nashawaty
Christina Ricci
After making her big screen debut as Cher’s daughter in Mermaids, Ricci became the adolescent ”it” girl through her roles in The Addams Family, Casper, and Now and Then. By her late teens, she successfully transitioned into more provocative material, earning a Golden Globe nomination for playing Dede in The Opposite of Sex. Steadily working over the last 20 years, Ricci has continued to choose diverse roles in films including Monster and Black Snake Moan, which has helped her fend off typecasting. Next up, she’ll tackle the period piece Bel Ami, with Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman. —Emily Exton
