Lindsay Lohan’s Drug Screen Positive for Opiates, Amphetamines
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan’s mandatory drug test revealed a positive result for both opiates and amphetamines, but it’s no big deal. The report shows that Linds is on two prescription medications which created the results: Dilaudid and Adderall. So…why is Lindsay Lohan, 24, being prescribed opiates and amphetamines?
The report says “The defendant indicates she has been on the same prescription medication for as long as she can remember.”
According to Drugs.com, Dilaudid is a narcotic pain medication. Persons using the drug are urged to consult with a physician if they drink alcohol regularly, suffer from symptoms of alcohol withdrawal or have a history of personal or family mental problems, alcohol or substance abuse. I know what you’re thinking: red flag! Just wait - it gets worse.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos,
At a brief news conference this evening, Jermaine Jackson addressed the media on behalf of his entire family.
“My brother, the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2:26 p.m. It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known.
His personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate my brother - as did the paramedics who transported him Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14 p.m., a team of doctors, including emergency physicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour. They were unsuccessful.
Our family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time. May Allah be with you Michael, always. Love you.”
Although it’s been speculated that prescription medication may have played a role in Michael’s death, more won’t be known until the initial autopsy scheduled for Friday.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Photos, Mug Shots,
UPDATE: Thanks to a plea deal, Heather has been given three years probation.
Three months after seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, actress Heather Locklear was arrested for a DUI. The 47-year-old was detained by the California Highway Patrol on Friday after a witness called 911.
Locklear, who was originally spotted driving erratically in a parking lot, was later seen parked on the side of the highway. According to the police report, “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane.”
This incident happened almost exactly 6 months after Heather’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora, was pulled over for drunk driving.
Although alcohol was not a factor in Locklear’s case, it’s believed the disoriented star had been under the influence of prescription medication at the time. Heather was later booked at the Santa Barbara CHP office where she eventually posted $5000 bail.
