Lindsay Lohan has become a model patient in rehab.
The 26-year-old actress - who is in the midst of a 90-day court-ordered stint in rehab after pleading "no contest" to lying to police about driving during a car crash last June - has wowed staff at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, with her new positive attitude and has been attending all of her group and one-on-one counseling sessions.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the Liz & Dick star, who is in rehab for the sixth time, is taking her treatment seriously and has told friends that she is learning a lot about self-control and how to deal with reckless impulses. Lindsay, who is sharing a room with two roommates, has also admitted that although the program is getting more complicated and emotional, she is not shying away. She told friends that she is happy to have roommates because she doesn't want to be alone and is getting on well with both of them.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Amanda Bynes' parents are trying to get her placed under a conservatorship.
The She's The Man actress has worried her parents Rick and Lynn so much with her bizarre recent antics that they visited several lawyers in a bid to sign over all legal, medical and financial control of her affairs to an external party. The troubled star was booked for drug possession on Thursday evening when police visited her New York City apartment after receiving a report of a disorderly person. Amanda - who was spotted smoking a joint in the lobby and behaved erratically throughout the incident - was taken to hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, before being arrested for criminal possession of marijuana, as well as reckless endangerment and felony tampering with evidence when she attempted to throw a bong out of the window.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Parties, Rumors,
Charlie Sheen is allegedly back on drugs.
The Anger Management star - who has been in rehab five times and last hit the headlines for his erratic behavior in 2011 - has reportedly been spending up to $2,000 a day on cocaine over the past eight months.
"For at least the last eight months or so Charlie has been having a quarter to half an ounce of cocaine delivered to him every single day and was spending nearly $2,000 a day on drugs. Sometimes he'd even get two to three quarters of cocaine in one day," a source said.
The 47-year-old former Two And A Half Men actor - who is a father-of-five - is also said to be spending a huge amount of money on prostitutes and allegedly even paid for one of his favorite girls to undergo cosmetic surgery and bought her a new car.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Television, Drugs, Drunk, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Dr. Drew Pinsky has stated that he wouldn’t want to treat Lindsay Lohan on his reality series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, but he’ll lend a helping hand to dad Michael Lohan next season. Reportedly, Michael has joined the cast and started taping... and sources say Lindsay is “upset” and “shocked.”
TMZ reports that Michael Lohan began filming the show without even telling his famous daughter, though she’s certainly got enough on her mind already.
The rest of the Celebrity Rehab cast is rumored to include Tareq and Michaele Salahi (the couple who allegedly crashed the White House), former Mets pitcher Dwight “Doc” Gooden, Chinese-American actress Bai Ling (The Crow, Anna and the King), Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch) and Michael Lohan.

Dr. Drew Wouldn’t Treat Lindsay Lohan for Addiction
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Drugs,
Dr. Drew Pinsky has handled sex addiction, drug abuse and some of the most entitled celebrities ever to grace reality TV … but he’s not anxious to help Lindsay Lohan overcome her substance abuse problems.
“The only way I would take her is if she would agree to stay in treatment for one year,” he said in a recent interview with Popeater.
But Linds isn’t alone. Dr. Drew says he’d need the same amount of time with Charlie Sheen. “I do think my team could really help them in a special way, TV or not TV, but they need longer term,” he explained.
Dr. Drew is currently being featured on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab, which airs on VH1. Last week on that program, actor Jeremy London talked about the alleged kidnapping and forced drug abuse inflicted upon him. This week, fans are expecting to watch Janice Dickinson blow up at the staff and/or other patients … again.

Email Addict Lindsay Lohan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Rumors,
In addition to the drugs and alcohol, Lindsay Lohan is being treated for an addiction to email.
The Machete actress - who voluntarily entered into a substance abuse program at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles late last month - has reportedly had her phone usage cut, with staff also urging her to reduce the amount of time she spends on social networking websites.
“Lindsay is only allowed to use her phone for two hours a day, and only to keep in touch with family and close friends. Before, she would repeatedly and compulsively email her friends if she was ever in a situation where she felt lonely, and she would vent on Twitter,” a source said.
The policy has been implemented so Lindsay can “concentrate on herself” during therapy. Lindsay is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after she failed two drugs tests last month.

Kelly Osbourne Blames DNA
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk,
Kelly 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.

Jack Osbourne Still Has Desire to Drink
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drunk,
Jack Osbourne is still tempted by alcohol.
The Adrenalin Junkie host - who gave up drinking following a 2003 stint in rehab - sometimes considers joining in with his friends when they are out together, but manages to exercise self-control.
“Sometimes there’s the occasional desire for it. It’s usually when we’ve had a really hard day working and everyone’s sat down having a beer, it would be nice to unwind with a beer but I know what it would end up like,” he said.
Despite his own teetotal stance, Jack insists he doesn’t object to people drinking around him. “My crew has a tendency to consume ridiculous amounts of alcohol sometimes so the next day when we have to be up at five in the morning, it’s just hilarious to see everyone so hungover,” Osbourne added. “I’m pretty sympathetic, I will make fun of them though, like, hit them on the head.”
David Duchovny Seeks Treatment for Sex Addiction
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television,
UPDATE: One report claims David has not had any extramarital affairs, while another claims he’s been cheating on Tea for years.
On Showtime’s website for Californication, David Duchovny‘s character (Hank Moody) is described as having three vices: drink, drugs and women. In real life, the married father is now admitting to one of his own: sex.
In a statement released by Duchovny’s lawyer, the X-Files star is shockingly open about his treatment for this private issue. While he didn’t (obviously) go into detail, the 48-year-old didn’t try to lie (like some musicians) about his situation either. (Then again, maybe Tea Leoni wouldn’t let him.)
“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”
