Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Obituaries, Rumors,
Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s brother was “surrounded by needles and syringes” when he died.
Dan Gordon-Levitt passed away on Monday, and neighbors to the apartment in Hollywood where he was living were “not surprised” by his passing, suggesting his death was the result of drug abuse.
“Dan and his friends had been partying, and we were woken up with the girl screaming. She came running out to the front garden of their apartment and some people went out to help her. 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.

Eminem “scared himself” with the extent of his drug addiction.
The rapper admits he only gave up taking illegal substances for good after he relapsed just weeks after an almost fatal drug-taking session in late 2007.
“I had overdosed in 2007, like right around Christmas in 2007. I pretty much almost died. You know, I pulled through and went home and relapsed less than a month later and I literally shot back up to the amount of pills I was taking, shot right back up to where I overdosed. Kind of I scared myself, like, ‘Yo! I need to, I need help. Like I can’t beat this on my own.’ The things I was putting in my body, my tolerance got so high. I got to the point where I couldn’t even count how many pills I was taking.”
The hip-hop superstar has a 14-year-old daughter Hailie, his child with ex-wife Kimberley Scott, and two adopted girls Alaina, the child of Kimberley’s sister, and Whitney - Kimberley’s daughter from a previous relationship. He is also the legal guardian of his younger half-brother Nathan.

Lindsay Lohan’s Nude Photo Spread
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Photos,
How do you get people to stop associating you with drugs? You get them to think of you nude.
In the next issue of New York magazine, recently-rehabbed Lindsay Lohan does her best to evoke Marilyn Monroe. The photo spread is practically identical to the one Monroe did back in 1962. That shoot - now known as “The Last Sitting” - took place just several weeks before the legend died…from an apparent drug overdose.
(Sorry, Linds - still thinking about you and drugs.)
Photographer Bert Stern, the same man who behind the camera forty-six years ago, said he wanted to work with Lohan because he believed she had “more depth to her”. Really?
