Taylor Swift and fellow teenage popstar Miley CyrusCountry’s sweetheart Taylor Swift has no intention to be a Hollywood wild child.

The “Love Story” singer says going clubbing and drinking alcohol doesn’t interest her unlike many other stars her age:

“I’ve been given the freedom to do whatever I want. I’m 19 - if I want to storm out of the house and go to a club and get drunk and take my clothes off and run naked through Nashville, I can do that. I just really would rather not. It’s as simple as that. It’s not like I’ve been beaten down by some corporation that’s forcing me to always behave myself - I just naturally do. Sometimes people are fascinated by the fact that I don’t care about partying, almost to the point where they think it’s weird. I think when we get to the point where it’s strange for you not to be stumbling around high on something at 19, it’s a warped world.”

Taylor also says she is getting revenge on the girls who used to bully her at school by writing songs about them.

“I would go to school and not have anyone to talk to, but what I could look forward to was going home and writing something about it. There’s where the revenge of writing a song about someone who’s means to you started. If you’re horrible to me I’m going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That’s how I operate.”

“Nobody has ever loaned me money. I mean, I was going to die on a few occasions. gave me CPR on one. That’s as close as I ever got. I was watching that movie where he plays Dillinger, and I was like ‘Mother f***er, I never had myself any JD except CPR,’” Love said.

She told Britain’s Style magazine: “They are the best staff in the world. When my bank account got frozen, we had $14.32 a week, so we lived off the kindness of strangers. The guy at the travel agency put his credit card down for the hotel. How insanely nice is that? And we are on the sixth floor. Not love nor money will buy you this floor.”

Michael Jackson left a series of wishes on Post-it notes before his deathIt has been revealed that Michael Jackson wrote a series of “wishes for the world” the day he died.

The late pop star left several motivational, handwritten notes in his bathroom before he passed away to help mentally prepare him for his London “This Is It” shows.

A source told Britain’s News of the World: “These notes show that Michael was positive until the last—but also what a mess his mind must have been as he fought to keep it all together towards the end.”

One of the notes read, “I am so grateful that I am a magnet for miracles.” The phrase “magnet for miracles” is one often used by self-help programs for recovering alcoholics, and it is believed regular repetition could improve your success of beating addiction.

Another note pinned to his mirror read, “Love, no violence ever! Remember a beautiful future promise of tomorrow.”

Friends of the late King of Pop’s say these words show he was positive, happy, and upbeat in his final days: “I think this reveals how positive Michael was until the last. He was such a sweet natured man who saw the good in everyone. The note about a beautiful future is especially sad as it shows he was looking forward to a successful, happy life.”

Kelly Osbourne partying with boyfriend Luke WorrellNever one to let her manners get the best of her, Kelly Osbourne has slammed lazy British teenagers.

The Dancing With the Stars contestant feels frustrated by young girls who aspire to marry a rich soccer star or have a baby to get state funded accommodation.

“I find it easier being in America. The UK is a lot harder, people have this kick you while you are down mentality. It seems like some teenagers just want to get pregnant so they can get a bigger council house. It is not OK for girls to want to grow up to be a WAG [partner of soccer player]. I find that frustrating.”

Kelly has also slammed people who live off their famous parents and spend their lives partying. The 24-year-old star, who has been in rehab four times for prescription drug dependence, explained, “A lot of celebrity kids don’t do that much with their lives. You are in a position where you are so lucky—you can do whatever you want. A lot of them waste their lives going to parties and being mean to other people.”

That doesn’t sound hypocritical at all, Kelly.

Antonio Banderas helps wife Melanie Griffith through rehabMelanie Griffith is having therapy sessions with her family.

Her husband Antonio Banderas—with whom she has 12-year-old daughter Stella, while Melanie has two other children from previous relationships—insists that Melanie will only benefit from her time in rehab if all her loved ones support her.

He told Ellen DeGeneres, “We have been following some type of therapy with other families. There are a number of invisible heroes working in Alcoholics Anonymous all around the world. I just say to families, ‘Don’t get embarrassed, just confront this problem head-on. And don’t hide from that because there is a beautiful gift at the end of this tunnel, and it is the person that you love back, and that is what I am searching for.’”

Melanie, 52, checked into Utah’s Cirque Lodge—where Lindsay Lohan and Kristen Dunst previously received treatment—in August.

It is her third stint in a treatment facility, with Melanie previously being treated for addictions to alcohol, cocaine, and painkillers. Antonio has revealed her latest stay is a preventative measure taken after she became nervous of using prescription medication following a knee injury she sustained in a skiing accident 18 months ago.

Kelly Osbourne blames DNA for her addictionKelly Osbourne has blamed DNA for her addiction.

The Dancing With the Stars contestant—whose father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has had a long-running battle with drugs and alcohol—believes that her dependence on prescription drugs is something hardwired into her genes.

Kelly, who is now drug free, told Britain’s BBC Radio 5 Live, “I don’t have any shadow of a doubt that addiction is a disease. It is in your genes. The only people in my family who don’t have that gene are my mother and my sister Amy. I consider myself lucky that I saw both sides of it. Drugs stop you from screaming on the outside, but you are still screaming on the inside. I was addicted by 16. Drugs stopped me from feeling a certain way. Some people experience euphoria, but I never felt that. They numbed me and gave me confidence. It was like a magic medicine.”

Kelly—who has been in rehab four times, most recently in January—admits that she became a recluse during her lowest points of addiction.

Pete DohertyBritish bad boy Pete Doherty once took so many drugs he thought that he was an air hostess.

The Babyshambles rocker began hallucinating after injecting horse tranquilizer ketamine while he was working on the band’s 2007 album Shotter’s Nation: “Snorting it is bad enough, but injecting it is the equivalent of… well, there is no explanation. One minute you’re a perfectly sane human being working on what should be an album you’re proud of and committed to—the next you’re an air hostess on an airplane bound for Portugal.”

Pete, 30, was dating British supermodel Kate Moss at the time, and claims the incident was one of the reasons for their split.

He explained to Britain’s Elle: “Imagine, there’s millions of you inside a little tube which is going up a dog’s ear. And your producer Stephen Street is carrying you from the toilets. And then your girlfriend turns up and starts shouting at Stephen Street, ‘What’s all this? What are you doing?’ Stephen’s like, ‘Oh f***ing hell, we’ve got a vocal to do.’ And I’m like, ‘Do you want another drink?’ Because I thought I was an air hostess.”

Dr. Conrad MurrayDespite the Los Angeles Police Department’s attempt to keep Michael Jackson’s autopsy results under wraps, an Associated Press source has confirmed the rumors: the singer’s death was a homicide.

According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed today, the King of Pop’s death was a result of lethal levels of the drug propofol (a.k.a. Diprivan). In the 32-page document, Dr. Conrad Murray revealed that he had been administering 50 mg of the drug nightly to help Jackson sleep. This routine went on for approximately six weeks. Fearing Michael would become addicted, other drugs were later introduced by Murray just days prior to June 25th.

On the morning of his death, Jackson was given another 25 mg of propofol “after repeated demands/requests.”
