After causing a ruckus over a Nazi row, Pete Doherty is not having the best of luck in Germany: the musician has been arrested in the country for smashing the back window of a car.

The Babyshambles frontman was taken into custody for throwing a pint glass at a car - believed to be parked at the time - outside of the bar Trinkteufel (Drink Devil) in Berlin shortly before 7am on Saturday morning). According to German newspaper Bild, Pete had been thrown out of another bar a short while earlier, and upon arriving at Trinkteufel had been asking staff where he could buy some drugs. 

A bartender said, “I almost threw them out too. He was drinking shots and constantly asking where to get cocaine.”

Pete was taken to a police station not far from Checkpoint Charlie - the best known crossing point between East and West Germany when the country was separated after World War II - where he spent the next three hours. He was booked for property damage and released.

Farrah Fawcett‘s son is said to be making good progress in his treatment for drug addiction.

Redmond O’Neal - son of late actress Farrah and her long-term partner Ryan O’Neal - was praised by judge Michael Tynan yesterday for his efforts to get clean.

The judge told Redmond, “I told you to turn it around, and it looks like you did.”

The 24-year-old actor replied, “I have been doing treatment for a while your honor. I want to do something different. I want to stay clean.”

Redmond - who has a history of drug problems and was arrested in September 2008 along with his father after authorities found methamphetamine at the actor’s Malibu home during a probation check on Redmond. The aspiring actor was then arrested in April this year for taking drugs into jail. He was bailed but then later jailed on separate charges. While in prison he was unable to comfort his dying mother, although he was allowed out to visit her once shortly before she passed away from cancer in June.

In accordance with his sentence he is presently in a residential treatment facility in Pasadena, California. Farrah left the bulk of her estate, $4.5 million, to Redmond.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs,

Amy Winehouse has made a “miraculous” recovery from her addictions.

The singer’s father Mitch Winehouse is delighted with his daughter’s progress as she battles her drug and alcohol problems and believes she should be given more credit for her hard work. “She’s doing fantastic and I don’t think enough credit is given to her about what she’s achieved over the last year. It’s been nothing short of miraculous,” he told Heat magazine.

The “Back to Black” singer - who spent several months earlier this year living on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia -  has just spent $59,000 on a breast enlargement operation, which Mitch claims was a way of her getting some control of her life. “I think she looks great, every bit of her - including the boobs,” Mitch said.

Mitch also likened his daughter - who recently divorced Blake Fielder-Civil but is rumored to have rekindled her romance with him - to Kerry Katona and Katie Price. “They all have a knack of choosing the wrong men,” he stated.

Joss Stone is open to sampling more drugs.

The “Super Duper Love” singer openly admits to smoking marijuana and hasn’t ruled out dabbling with other illegal substances in future, even though she thinks they are “horrible.”

“I don’t want to take all those horrible drugs. Although some sound fun, so I might dabble now and then!” she said. “I smoke cannabis, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb. I don’t regret saying that at all.”

When quizzed on how often she smoked, she added to Britain’s Star magazine: “It depends if I’m working, and on what song. It’s like having a drink.”

Katy Perry Changed Russell Brand

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Dating, Rumors,

While his soiled hair, uncouth mouth, and lack of manners made it quite clear that British comedian Russell Brand was a stranger to normal, monogamous relationships, it would seem as of late that his girlfriend Katy Perry is changing his view of the world.

“There have been times when I have been in the company of prostitutes and they were the most wonderful women in the world,” Brand said, reflecting on his past behavior.

Apparently, those times are behind him, and he’s ready to embrace the “I Kissed a Girl” popstar, which I honestly didn’t believe, despite their very public affection for each other.

“She’s lovely. I am living in a different way at the moment. Regardless of what happens in my current situation, I am unlikely to be satisfied with the calamitous promiscuity of the preceding five or six years.”

Johnny Depp once saved Courtney Love‘s life.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star had to give the Hole singer - who has a history of drink and drug abuse - the kiss of life when she collapsed after a heavy session.

“Nobody has ever loaned me money. I mean, I was going to die on a few occasions. Johnny Depp gave me CPR on one. That’s as close as I ever got. I was watching that movie where he plays Dillinger, and I was like ‘Mother f***er, I never had myself any JD except CPR,’” Love said.

Courtney - widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - also revealed strangers gave her money following her financial difficulties earlier this year. She and her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean are currently staying at a New York hotel while they waits for work to be completed on a nearby apartment, and she admits they’ve been treated like royalty.

She told Britain’s Style magazine: “They are the best staff in the world. When my bank account got frozen, we had $14.32 a week, so we lived off the kindness of strangers. The guy at the travel agency put his credit card down for the hotel. How insanely nice is that? And we are on the sixth floor. Not love nor money will buy you this floor.”

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.
