The former child star - who has a long history with drug abuse - has checked into a treatment center in Southern California in a bid to get help for her cocaine addiction. Since entering the facility, the 48-year-old actress - the youngest person ever to win an Academy Award - has been visited several times by her father Ryan O'Neal, who is desperate for his eldest child to get clean.
"Tatum recently went back to rehab last month, and she is at a facility in Orange County. Ryan has been visiting her regularly because he is so concerned about her. They are working on their complicated relationship. Tatum is just really truly struggling with who she is as a person. It's very sad to see her still suffering from her addiction to cocaine," a source said.
Tatum - who has had a complicated relationship with Ryan over the years and were, at one point, estranged - has been in out and out of rehab throughout her life as she struggled with her drug addiction.

The body of the 36-year-old actor - who was found dead on July 13 - will reportedly be laid to rest in a private service at the weekend.
"Sage will be buried on Saturday. His body was picked up from the coroner by a mortuary that is based in Westwood earlier this week. The funeral will be private and it will be family and friends only and will be celebration of his life," a source said.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that authorities investigating Sage's death believe he was a drug dealer who sold Hydrocodone - more commonly known as Vicodin - but don't think he was an addict himself as his build was not typical of habitual drug users. "He was pudgy, and drug addicts are almost always rail thin," a source told TMZ.

Morgan Freeman: Joker Role Didn’t Kill Heath
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Obituaries, Rumors,
The 28-year-old actor died in January 2008 from an accidental drug overdose and while some people believe he was struggling to cope with the intensity of playing the maniacal character, co-star Morgan isn't convinced the role played any part in his untimely passing.
"Well, it's a downer when anything happens to an actor in mid-production. In fact, he didn't die during production, his part was wrapped up, but the movie itself wasn't out yet. People connected the character to his death because the character was so ... evil. People imagine that the role leaks into the man or something. And I don't think that was the case at all," Morgan said, speaking of Heath's tragic death.
Morgan - who has reprised his role as Lucius in new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises - also revealed he has no intention of retiring from acting even though he's 75: "What keeps anyone going? I have work. I have things to do. I prefer working to idleness. And I like my job. I'm lucky, I'm not working because I have to; I'm working because I love to."

Bruce and Demi’s Daughter Tallulah’s Nude Photo Scandal
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Child Stars, Drugs, Photos, Oops Photos, Rumors,
Four pictures, which are supposed to be of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's 18-year-old daughter show her topless and holding what appears to be a marijuana joint, reports website RadarOnline. The images are now being shopped around media outlets for purchase.
Last year, the teenager was cited for underage drinking in the Hollywood area. Tallulah's two sisters have also been involved in controversy. Her 20-year-old sister Scout was arrested last month in New York for underage drinking and using a fake ID card. In 1997, the oldest of the girls, Rumer was one of four people in a hotel room in Aberdeen, Maryland in the United States when police officers came in and arrested one of the group for marijuana possession. Rumer was questioned at the scene but was not arrested and was never charged in connection with the controversial incident.

Snoop Dogg Detained For Marijuana Possession
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Legal Issues,
The "Drop it Like it's Hot" hitmaker reportedly arrived at Kjevic Airport in Kristiansand with the drugs, which were detected by a sniffer dog, and 224,500 kroner ($75,300) in cash, which is 196,000 kroner ($33,300) above the legal limit.
A customs official said the rapper was fined 52,000 kroner ($8,800) for the violations, and local laws state people carrying anything less than 15 grammes is merely punishable by a fine. Snoop - whose real name is Calvin Broadus - was in the country to perform at the Hove festival last night in the southern town of Kristiansand.
But it's not the first time this year that the 40-year-old rapper has been busted for drugs: he was arrested at Sierra Blanca, Texas in January at a border control checkpoint - the same one where country singer Willie Nelson was busted in 2010 - when a sniffer dog found marijuana on his tour bus.

Paris Hilton Started a Fight With Photographer
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Parties,
The Hilton hotel heiress was captured on camera in a physical altercation with paparazzi member Billy Barerra on Tuesday. According to Billy, she was worried he had caught her doing something bad.
"It was 3:30 in the morning, the party was over and I was just walking through the parking lot to go to the bathroom when I see Paris, so I turned on my camera. I wasn't expecting to get jumped! I've shot Paris a lot and am always nice to her," he said.
Shortly afterwards her entourage -- including heir Brandon Davis -- tried to take the camera from him: "Paris was acting like she was on drugs. I know drugs, I've seen a lot of people on them, and Paris is one of them. She attacked me for no reason, like you can see on the video, but what you don't see is that she was hanging off my neck like a piggy back ride as I walked up to the next garage level. Her friends all started attacking me and no one could see us until we got up to that next level, and that's when I yelled for help and the other paps came running and shot some video."

Charlie Sheen Doesn’t Believe in Rehab

The Anger Management actor had an erratic 2011 - confessing to "banging seven-gram rocks" of crack-cocaine - but even though he successfully completed home treatment for substances and alcohol, he said rehab is not for him.
Charlie, who is now drug free but still drinks alcohol, told TV show Good Morning America, "I don't believe in rehab anymore. It's not for me. It's not for everyone. It's not a one-size-fits-all and it didn't fit me." Referring to US beer brand Miller, he added, "We live in a country where it's always Miller Time so what are you going to do? It's happy hour somewhere in the world."
Charlie does regret some of his outbursts, many of which were personal and directed at certain people, including Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, and lost him his multi-million dollar job starring in the show.

Rose Murphy Stahl believes it is the "loving thing" not to involve police in looking for the Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines actor - who disappeared last week after checking out of a Los Angeles rehabilitation clinic against medical advice - and will instead wait for him to return home to her and their two-year-old daughter Marlo.
Rose - who reported Nick missing in May after he disappeared for several days - told TMZ, "I'm backing off. He knows exactly where home is. It's the loving thing to do for him, myself and our daughter."
The 32-year-old actor's friends and family noticed he was missing last week after he failed to return to his friend's home. "Now he's disappeared. We can't find him anywhere. He has not made contact with anyone. We are all just desperately looking for him. Everyone just wants him to come home. It's a terrible situation. We are searching, but we've had no solid leads," a source said.
