Justin Bieber Close to Plea Deal

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Justin Bieber is close to reaching a plea deal in his driving under the influence (DUI) case.

The "Boyfriend" hitmaker was arrested in Miami in January and charged with DUI, resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's license, but all three charges will be dropped if he pleads no contest to reckless driving, TMZ reports.

It was previously claimed the 20-year-old star - who will receive a year's probation as part of the agreement - would refuse a plea deal if it involved being subjected to random drug testing, but the proposal from prosecutors does not include this as a condition.

Justin was driving a rented yellow Lamborghini when police stopped him for allegedly drag racing. Toxicology test results later showed the singer had traces of marijuana and Xanax in his system at the time of the arrest.

Justin Bieber is to appear in court next month.

The 19-year-old singer has been given a trial date of March 3 by a Miami-Dade County judge over charges of driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving with an invalid license.

The troubled star was detained on January 23 after police allegedly caught him drag racing a rented Lamborghini in Miami. Police officers claimed Justin, who is more than a year under the legal drinking age in the US, reeked of alcohol at the scene but his blood alcohol level was barely measurable at .014. However, it has been reported a toxicology test detected the presence of marijuana and Xanax in his system.

Toxicology reports show Justin Bieber had marijuana and prescription medication in his system when he was arrested in Miami.

The "Confident" star was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired license and resisting arrest in Florida last Thursday after taking part in a drag race. He also confessed to officers he had smoked cannabis and ingested medication given to him by his mother, Pattie Mallette, which was confirmed by the analysis of his urine test, which showed positive for THC, the active part of the marijuana plant, and Alprazolam, a key ingredient in anti-anxiety medication Xanax. The test showed negative for cocaine, opiates, methamphetamine and other drugs.

It has already been established that at the time of his arrest, Justin's blood alcohol level was within the legal limit to drive in Florida.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Drunk, Features,

Matthew Perry hates seeing pictures of himself from when he was addicted to pills and alcohol.

The 43-year-old actor battled addictions to booze, Vicodin, methadone and amphetamines during his 10 year stint on the sitcom Friends and Matthew admitted seeing photographs of himself when he was painfully thin in 2001 terrifies him. "I honestly recoil. It's scary to look at that. I was a sick guy," he said.

Matthew also revealed he feared for his life at certain points during his ordeal, and credits addiction specialist Earl Hightower with helping him to get clean: "This guy has saved my life, literally 15, 16 times. The treatment is all-encompassing."

Now the Go On actor is determined to help others avoid the same mistakes he made and has opened a sober living house to help men transition from rehab into the real world. "The thing that I'm most proud of in my life is that if a stranger came up to me and said, 'I can't stop drinking. I can't stop drinking. Can you help me?' I can say, 'Yes, I can help you,'" he explained.

It's been two years since Ashlee Simpson filed for divorce from Pete Wentz, and the Fall Out Boy bassist is finally talking to the public about the split and the toll it took on him.

The 33 year-old admitted recently to Rolling Stone that his addiction to prescription pills Xanax and Klonopin resumed and he experienced paranoia following the break-up:

"I was probably physically and mentally addicted. It started from insomnia and anxiety from flying, then it spiraled... I felt like a loser already. I'd basically gone from being the guy in Fall Out Boy to being the guy, who, like, hangs out all day. I didn't see how I'd ever come out on the other side... I was scared of everything. I thought there were always people listening to me. Like, I had my house searched for bugs. It was crazy."
