Khloe Kardashian says she isn't "made of steel."
The reality TV star is trying to cope with her relationship troubles and her husband Lamar Odom's recent DUI arrest - and she has taken to her Twitter account to hint it's proving difficult to stay strong: "As much as I wish I were made of steel ... I'm not ... I'm pretty damn close to it though hehe."
Khloe, 29, previously left a cryptic, but optimistic, message to her followers on the social networking site, which she has since deleted. "Smile and no one will notice," she wrote.
According to recent reports, the couple were reunited at their California mansion, but the star's family are pushing her to end their romance because of his arrest and alleged drug use. Lamar was stopped by the California Highway Patrol on Friday and released after posting $15,000 bail. "Kris wants Khloe to get her prenup money, plus the penalty for cheating. Kim, Kourtney [Khloe's sisters] and Kris want her to dump him. You can't live with a drug addict," a source said.

Justin Bieber was allegedly escorted out of a nightclub in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The 19-year-old singer, who is two years under the legal drinking age in the U.S. but has been spotted partying at several other nightclubs recently - was left "really embarrassed" after being forced to leave Lure nightclub in Hollywood at around 7 p.m. after reportedly trying to sneak in to enjoy their Toxic Luau Beach Day party.
A source told E! News that the "Beauty and a Beat" singer was turned away because he was underage but then tried to sneak in the back door. "Someone from Justin's team had come earlier in the day and told the club that he would be showing up. The club told him they wouldn't let him in because he's not 21. Bieber came anyways and tried to sneak in through a back door. The Game was on the mic at this point and saw Bieber trying to get in and shouted that Bieber was on his way inside. That's when security saw him and escorted him out immediately. He left right away, he seemed really embarrassed," the insider explained.

Matthew Perry: “I Was a Sick Guy”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Drunk, Features,
Matthew Perry hates seeing pictures of himself from when he was addicted to pills and alcohol.
The 43-year-old actor battled addictions to booze, Vicodin, methadone and amphetamines during his 10 year stint on the sitcom Friends and Matthew admitted seeing photographs of himself when he was painfully thin in 2001 terrifies him. "I honestly recoil. It's scary to look at that. I was a sick guy," he said.
Matthew also revealed he feared for his life at certain points during his ordeal, and credits addiction specialist Earl Hightower with helping him to get clean: "This guy has saved my life, literally 15, 16 times. The treatment is all-encompassing."
Now the Go On actor is determined to help others avoid the same mistakes he made and has opened a sober living house to help men transition from rehab into the real world. "The thing that I'm most proud of in my life is that if a stranger came up to me and said, 'I can't stop drinking. I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say, 'Yes, I can help you,'" he explained.

Lindsay Lohan claims her latest trip to rehab is "pointless."
The 26-year-old actress - who began a 90-day court-ordered treatment program at the Betty Ford Center in California on Thursday to avoid jail after pleading ''no contest'' to charges for lying to police about driving during a car crash last June - claims she doesn't have a problem with alcohol or drugs.
"I've never been a huge drinker. I've never woken up in the morning and had a drink. I don't think I need to be on lockdown for three months. I don't think that's rehab. I've been court-ordered to do it six times. I could write the book on rehab. Constantly sending me to rehab is pointless. The first few times I was court-ordered to rehab it was like a joke, like killing time."
The actress - who also claims she has only done cocaine "four or five times" in her life but admits to preferring ecstasy and pot - hopes that her stint in rehab will help her to change people's opinion of her.

Reese Witherspoon is "mortified" after her arrest for disorderly conduct.
The Mud actress was picked up by police officers in Atlanta last week while her husband Jim Toth was arrested on suspicion of DUI and friends of the 37-year-old mother-of-three say she can't believe she let things get so out of control. "She's a fun girl who likes to have a good time and let loose every now and then. What's shocking is she didn't rein it in enough to keep herself out of trouble. It was a really bad decision on both their parts and trust me, they're evaluating that and they will make damn sure it doesn't happen again," a source said.
Reese - who has seven-month-old son Tennessee with Jim - is also worried about how her kids Ava, 13 and Deacon, nine, from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe, will cope with the scandal. "She is happy to be home with her kids again. She didn't feel good about being away from them after the news of her arrest broke. Her kids are everything to her," the insider added.
The couple are due in court in Atlanta on their respective charges on May 22 and May 23.

Billie Joe Armstrong's bandmate wasn't surprised by his public meltdown last year that led to him going to rehab for 30 days. Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt has revealed the group ignored warning signs that the 41-year-old "Basket Case" singer was struggling to cope with his addictions to alcohol and drugs because they were too busy.
"We all turned a blind eye to it - 'Everyone, deal with your own s**t.' Because we were working so hard," he told Rolling Stone.

Mischa Barton Refuses to Pay Sobriety Bill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drunk, Legal Issues,
Mischa Barton refuses to pay her former sobriety coaches. The former The O.C. actress turned handbag designer was ordered to pay Doctors' Choice Nursing (DCN) $95,000 for services they provided her in 2009, but she claims she is not responsible for the outstanding bill as she didn't hire the team to look after her.
A default judgment was entered against the 27-year-old star in 2011 after she failed to show up in court when the company filed a lawsuit to recoup the money owed to them for helping her to stay sober. But Mischa's lawyer argued in court on Thursday that her mother hired the sobriety nurses and therefore she ran up the bills so the actress isn't responsible for them, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain actress is fighting the default judgment and her lawyer pointed out that the owner of the DCN failed to notify Mischa directly about the mounting bill, saying it didn't make sense if they thought she was responsible for paying it. The owner claimed that she didn't want to add to Mischa's stress, as it was the nurses' job to keep her sober before an important acting role in 2009, the same year that she was starring in The Beautiful Life and was legally held in hospital under psychiatric observation.

Jim Sheridan: Colin Farrell Was Almost the “Next Mess Up”
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Meltdowns,
Jim Sheridan admires how Colin Farrell turned his life around. The Seven Psychopaths actor checked into rehab in 2006 after his partying got out of control and director and close friend Jim admits Colin was on course to become the "next mess up" before he got clean.
Speaking at the eighth annual Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film party at Lost producer J.J Abrams' Bad Robot Productions in Santa Monica on Thursday, Jim told BANG Showbiz, "Colin is impressive, not just as an actor but as a person. We all know he had his ups and downs and there was a time when he was going to be the next mess up but he left it all behind him and became a great lad."
Jim also believes it is the 36-year-old actor's likeability that has helped him bounce back and says everyone can relate to his problems. "In Ireland we admire Daniel Day Lewis and respect Liam Neeson but somewhere inside us we love Colin, because we're just waiting for him to f**k up you know. We're just waiting for him to fall in the s**t and be like us. 'Talent and good looks help when you're trying to make it in the entertainment industry, Colin has them in spades. Deep down he is such a great guy and it comes across on screen, he has that charisma that just comes across. The first time he was ever on screen he was a star. You see it."
