Charlie Sheen Admits Last Year Was ‘Cringeable’

Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen doesn't "recognize parts" of himself when he looks back on his "cringeable" behavior last year.

The 46-year-old actor - who suffered drug and alcohol problems in 2011 before being axed from Two and a Half Men after launching a number of rants at creator Chuck Lorre - has apologized to the American public for his actions last year, and he has compared his wild behavior to having an out-of-body experience: "I didn't recognize parts of who that guy was. I just wish it was somebody else's body. You say it's been a year - it's either been a day, or a hundred years. I guess the plan was to reintroduce myself to America and to the media and say, 'Sorry about that, but here's what's happening now.'"

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Drugs, Obituaries, Rumors,

Ray J and Whitney HoustonRay J had no idea Whitney Houston was taking cocaine.

The singer is furious after his on/off girlfriend's former sister-in-law Leolah Brown suggested he was to blame for the singer's death in February, as he was in San Diego when she passed away in her hotel room in Beverly Hills. Ray J's spokesperson insisted to website TMZ that the star had "no knowledge" Whitney - whose official cause of death was accidental drowning due to the effects of heart disease and cocaine use - had started taking drugs again.

Los Angeles County Coroner released the official cause of Whitney's death yesterday, and revealed as well as cocaine, traces of marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril and Benadryl were found in her system, although they did not contribute to her tragic passing.

A source connected to the investigation told TMZ.com, it is "very possible" Whitney had a heart attack that caused her to lose consciousness and drown. The heart attack may have been triggered by hardening of the arteries as a result of cocaine use. The coroner also noted that neither foul play nor trauma factored into her demise. A final report is expected to be ready for release within two weeks.

Steven Tyler Attacks Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Drunk, Rumors,

Steven Tyler Steven Tyler is holding practically nothing back in his book Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, sharing his opinions on reality TV, among many subjects. While recounting one of his stints in rehab, Tyler alleges that he observed some of the making of Celebrity Rehab, and the picture he paints is unflattering… to say the least.

Tyler claims that Steven Adler, a patient at Las Encinas (where Rehab is filmed) and former Guns N Roses member, was asked to fake his behavior for the benefit of the cameras. “They wanted him to act out his own messed-up state when he entered rehab. It was ghoulish and unreal,” Tyler writes. “They gave him 30 grand for the episode, he snorted it all, crashed his car, and he ended up in jail detox.”

Lindsay Lohan’s Lawyer Fires Back at Abuse Accusations

Lindsay Lohan out of rehabLindsay Lohan may be on the way to a clean, safe recovery; however, she still has some things from her recent rehab past to settle first.

 
Lohan's on-again off-again attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, is now firing back at last month's claims that her client was violating her probation -- specifically, consuming alcohol -- while at the Betty Ford clinic.
 
"I had numerous conversations with Betty Ford counselors and doctors over the course of Lindsay's treatment there and it was never suggested by anyone that she ever drank or used drugs. Her discharge letter from the facility is totally consistent with that," said Holley.
 
Right, and we should listen to the lawyer who maintained that Lindsay was in Cannes for work when she was incessantly photographed partying on a yacht, practically refusing to show up to her court case?
 
The new judge presiding over Lindsay's case, Judge Elden Fox, has previously said that Lohan will return to jail for up to six months should she violate the terms of her probation.
 
Until her progress review hearing on February 25, Lohan is subject to random drug and alcohol tests.

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.

The paramedics were called, but he was found dead surrounded by needles and syringes. He had been living here on and off for the past few years, and he and his friends were not very popular to tell you the truth. One time they set a car on fire in front of the building, and there were always groups of people coming and going from that apartment. I’m sorry that he died, but I’m honestly not that surprised either,” a neighbor said.
