Courtney Love Slams Daughter on Facebook
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
Although Courtney Love initially appeared to be tight-lipped when the news broke that she lost custody of her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, the troubled musician has now broken her silence.
No stranger to blasting ludicrous remarks on Facebook, Love used the social networking site to spew hateful thoughts about her 17 year-old daughter, whose father was the late Kurt Cobain.
“I hate to sound cold but any kid of mine who pulls this s**t has lost her position… she was deceptive, she lied and she’s lying to herself… My daughter is not always honest. The fact is fbc [Frances Bean Cobain] is deluded. She thinks she has all this money. The point is I have all the money she has. Frances is clearly deluded that she can buy her grandmother a small house in la [Los Angeles]. I’d love to see how that works. They’ll incubate her [sic] til shes 18 and then have her sign all the [sic] indnemofications.”
This is not the first time Love has lost custody of Frances Bean; Love’s lawyers assure that she did not have a drug relapse and the matter was simply Frances Bean’s decision to live with her grandparents over her mother.
In the end, however, Love ends her internet tirade with words that somewhat resemble that of a woman showing motherly care (despite what she had said previously).

Amy Winehouse Urged to Remarry Blake
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Divorce, Engagements, Weddings, Drugs, Drunk, Rumors,
Blake Fielder-Civil’s mother hopes he remarries Amy Winehouse next year.
Georgette Civil, 46, is happy her 31-year-old son is apparently back with the “Rehab” singer following their divorce in August, and thinks they’ll get married again next year because they’re still very much in love:
“Neither of them really wanted a divorce. I hope that this time around, drug free and with their families to support them, they can work through any problems. I’m convinced her and Blake will marry next year. I don’t know when, where, or how it will happen. I’d like to be at the wedding this time round, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they went away and got hitched without anyone knowing about it. Whatever they do, I think it’s going to be a happy ending this time.”

Pete Doherty Arrested in Germany
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues,
After causing a ruckus over a Nazi row, Pete Doherty is not having the best of luck in Germany: the musician has been arrested in the country for smashing the back window of a car.
The Babyshambles frontman was taken into custody for throwing a pint glass at a car - believed to be parked at the time - outside of the bar Trinkteufel (Drink Devil) in Berlin shortly before 7am on Saturday morning). According to German newspaper Bild, Pete had been thrown out of another bar a short while earlier, and upon arriving at Trinkteufel had been asking staff where he could buy some drugs.
A bartender said, “I almost threw them out too. He was drinking shots and constantly asking where to get cocaine.”
Pete was taken to a police station not far from Checkpoint Charlie - the best known crossing point between East and West Germany when the country was separated after World War II - where he spent the next three hours. He was booked for property damage and released.

Redmond O’Neal: “I Want to Stay Clean”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Legal Issues,
Farrah Fawcett‘s son is said to be making good progress in his treatment for drug addiction.
Redmond O’Neal - son of late actress Farrah and her long-term partner Ryan O’Neal - was praised by judge Michael Tynan yesterday for his efforts to get clean.
The judge told Redmond, “I told you to turn it around, and it looks like you did.”
The 24-year-old actor replied, “I have been doing treatment for a while your honor. I want to do something different. I want to stay clean.”
Redmond - who has a history of drug problems and was arrested in September 2008 along with his father after authorities found methamphetamine at the actor’s Malibu home during a probation check on Redmond. The aspiring actor was then arrested in April this year for taking drugs into jail. He was bailed but then later jailed on separate charges. While in prison he was unable to comfort his dying mother, although he was allowed out to visit her once shortly before she passed away from cancer in June.
In accordance with his sentence he is presently in a residential treatment facility in Pasadena, California. Farrah left the bulk of her estate, $4.5 million, to Redmond.

In what was most likely a drug-induced action, Pete Doherty infuriated fans at German music festival by singing the banned Nazi verse of the national anthem.
The rocker took to the stage at the Munich event last Saturday and launched into a rendition of “Deutschlandlied” (translated: “The Song of Germany”). As soon as fans heard the first verse - which has been banned since the end of World War II because of its use during the Nazi regime by Adolf Hitler and its reference to racial superiority - they began to jeer and heckle Pete.
His performance was allowed to continue for five more songs before organizers made him leave the stage and the live radio broadcast was cut, prompting Pete to hurl his microphone at the concert’s host.
A statement released by the organizers said, “As the British say, ‘We are not amused.’ Unfortunately, it was unforeseeable. Live is live.”
Only the third verse of the national anthem is allowed to be sung in Germany. The first stanza of the anthem translates as, “Germany, Germany above all / Above all in the world. When, for protection and defence, it always takes a brotherly stand together. / From the Meuse to the Memel, From the Adige to the Belt, Germany, Germany above everything. Above everything in the world.”

Amy Winehouse has made a “miraculous” recovery from her addictions.
The singer’s father Mitch Winehouse is delighted with his daughter’s progress as she battles her drug and alcohol problems and believes she should be given more credit for her hard work. “She’s doing fantastic and I don’t think enough credit is given to her about what she’s achieved over the last year. It’s been nothing short of miraculous,” he told Heat magazine.
The “Back to Black” singer - who spent several months earlier this year living on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia - has just spent $59,000 on a breast enlargement operation, which Mitch claims was a way of her getting some control of her life. “I think she looks great, every bit of her - including the boobs,” Mitch said.
Mitch also likened his daughter - who recently divorced Blake Fielder-Civil but is rumored to have rekindled her romance with him - to Kerry Katona and Katie Price. “They all have a knack of choosing the wrong men,” he stated.

Joss Stone is open to sampling more drugs.
The “Super Duper Love” singer openly admits to smoking marijuana and hasn’t ruled out dabbling with other illegal substances in future, even though she thinks they are “horrible.”
“I don’t want to take all those horrible drugs. Although some sound fun, so I might dabble now and then!” she said. “I smoke cannabis, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb. I don’t regret saying that at all.”
When quizzed on how often she smoked, she added to Britain’s Star magazine: “It depends if I’m working, and on what song. It’s like having a drink.”

Lindsay Lohan Held at Gunpoint
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: D-List, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Most likely due to the mass amount of hate directed at her over the Ungaro debacle, Lindsay Lohan was threatened by a gunman on holiday over the weekend.
The Mean Girls actress was left shaken following the terrifying encounter during a break to Morocco - only to discover the weapon being brandished was fake.
She revealed on her Twitter page: “Umm-OMFG! I was walking ahead with the security guard and some guy was following me, then pulled up in his car and pointed a GUN at me! I was on the phone w/my mum and i screamed and ducked and the guy started laughing and pushed the trigger and it was a fake gun..I was crying..he scared me. (sic)”
In a probably not-so-unrelated story, 23-year-old Lindsay’s father Michael has demanded she go into rehab, insisting she needs help for an addiction to painkillers.
