The Insider Drops Pat O’Brien
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Rumors,
What’s the best way to replace a lushy anchor? You substitute him with a non-drinking Mormon.
Just last month, we told you about Pat O’Brien’s recent trip to rehab. The Insider host, who made a living by talking about other celebrity issues, entered himself into treatment hoping to “maintain his sobriety.” (In other words, he wanted to stop drunk-dialing again.)
Since O’Brien’s leave of absence, a variety of people have stepped in to fill his shoes on the entertainment program. As of late, Donny Osmond has not only been the main subject of the show’s daily stories, he’s been pulling double-duty as Lara Spencer’s co-host. Now it seems that gig will become a permanent deal. According to the New York Post, Donny will be taking advantage of his new found popularity (thanks Marie!) and become a regular fixture in our households.
As for O’Brien? Paramount is apparently opting not to ‘renew’ his three-year contract. (That sounds much better than being ‘fired’.) I guess he’ll have a lot more time now to call a few friends.

Barron Hilton Lacks Paris’ Post-Jail Flair
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drunk, Legal Issues, Photos, Paparazzi Photos,
After spending a long Tuesday afternoon in jail, Barron Hilton finally had some pals bail him out. (I wish I had three friends who could secure me a $20,000 bond.) It seems the DUI offender was being served a dose of tough love from not only his parents but his recently incarcerated sister.
To make matters worse, the hotel heir - already deprived of family funds - made it quite known he was obviously lacking the signature Hilton flair. One would have thought Barron had learned a trick or two from the day ‘Paris was liberated.’ Unfortunately, he was apparently asleep that night. His grand exit yesterday was reduced to Trick #1 in the Walk of Shame Handbook: “Put Coat Over Head.”
I must say - as much as I despite Paris Hilton, she at least worked her jail departure.

Another Hilton Checks Into Jail
Posted by Elaine Furst Categories: Drunk, Legal Issues, Mug Shots, Breaking News,
UPDATE: Barron’s bail was later increased to $20,000 because he was apparently carrying a fake driver’s license. Idiot.
Barron Hilton, younger brother to Paris and Nicky, continued the process of dragging the family name through the mud this morning by getting arrested in Malibu for DUI.
Per PageSix.com, Hilton 18, was arrested at 8:04 am after he allegedly careened into a 76 gas station and struck a gas station attendant in the process. The attendant was not injured but insisted on calling the police anyway.
“I was knocked to the ground,” Fernando Tellez told PageSix. “The Mercedes lost control as it was turning into the gas station and Barron got out of the car and he was totally drunk and couldn’t walk straight.”
When the police arrived, they tested his blood alcohol level (which he failed miserably). He scored a 0.14 on his breath test for blood alcohol — that’s almost double the adult limit of 0.08 in California. An eyewitness at the scene claims that Barron was so drunk he couldn’t speak.
Barron was then led away to jail where he now resides waiting for his bail to be posted-a paltry $5,000.
Gosh, those crazy Hilton kids—you just never know where they’re gonna get arrested next!

The Insider’s Pat O’Brien in Rehab
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk,
Apparently someone couldn’t handle another day of Danielynn coverage…
The Insider’s Pat O’Brien has once again become the focus of Hollywood news. The entertainment/tabloid show host just readmitted himself into rehab for alcohol abuse. This marks the second time in three years O’Brien has sought treatment for this problem.
Back in 2005, the 59-year-old hit rock bottom under very public circumstances. Sexually explicit voicemails he recorded while under the influence somehow found their way on to the internet. In an attempt to save face - and his job - O’Brien was forced to make a mea culpa on a primetime version of Dr. Phil.

Lindsay Lohan Hates Being Alone At Night
In an interview appearing in the March issue of Glamour magazine, Lindsay Lohan talks about her party girl image, getting back to work and how she’s trying to rid her life of bad influences.
“There are friends that have been hard to hang out with because they’ve gone done a different path,” the actress, 21, says in her first interview since being in rehab. “But it’s hard because I’m the kind of person who wants to trust everyone.”
Lohan also expresses empathy for Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse and insists that she’s comfortable with her own company—to a point.
“I’m fine being alone during the day, but I hate being alone at night. I like having friends around me, but now I’d much rather be at home,” she says, pointing out that she now suddenly has more hours of the day to fill, which she tries to do by writing in her journal and watching TV.
“That’s not to say I’ll never go to a club again,” she says, “because I’d be lying.”

Sean Young Scores a Role in Rehab
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drunk, Meltdowns, Parties, Videos, Oops Videos, Where Are They Now?,
Sean Young, the actress from 1982’s Blade Runner and 1987’s No Way Out, has admitted herself into rehab after embarrassing herself over the weekend. This incident came shortly after an Entertainment Weekly interview in which she declared she was a “comeback waiting to happen.” Uhhh, it looks like she might be waiting a little bit longer now.
During a ceremony for the Directors Guild of America awards, the drunken D-lister made a complete ass of herself and interrupted the proceedings with her obnoxious behavior. According to reports, she spoke rudely in French to Marion Cotillard and chose to sing a few bars while Kristin Chenoweth was performing. All that led to her climactic outburst during Julian Schnabel‘s (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) turn at the podium.
The director - who was a little slow getting started - was disrespectively urged by the lush to ‘get on with it’. After telling Young to “have another cocktail”, he attempted to go forward. Unfortunately, the frustrated Schnabel found it difficult to maintain his composure and later told Sean to go ahead and finish his speech. Upset that he was going to cut his time short, the audience yelled and encouraged him to stay. It was at this time the party crasher was kicked out of the hotel. (For a view of the interrupted speech, check out the video after the jump.)

Lindsay Lohan Revisits the Bottle
Despite her stint in rehab late last year,
actress
party girl Lindsay Lohan hasn’t been shy about visiting old friends. In less than a month, Linds has been seen partaking spirits in a public setting. At a New Year’s celebration in Italy, the naive girl was foolish enough to wrap her lips on a champagne bottle within distance of a video camera. After her ‘slip-up’ was splashed around the world, her lawyer came in quickly to clean up the mess:
“After being handed a champagne bottle while on a dance floor in Italy on New Year’s Eve and drinking from it, the good news is that Lindsay stopped herself, called her sponsor, and got herself back on track.”
