Demi Lovato Talks About Her Breakdown
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Child Stars, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Demi Lovato realized she needed help when she punched her back-up dancer. The 18-year-old star checked into rehab - where she received treatment for depression and an eating disorder - in October following the altercation with Alex Welch and admits she had been "out of line" for several months beforehand.
"I was completely out of line all summer. Just the worst attitude-totally ungrateful... I just felt like she'd betrayed me. That's the bottom line. When you punch someone on a plane, enough is enough. Right after, I texted my mom and just said, 'I'm sorry.'"
Demi insisted her problems didn't stem from her split from Jonas Brothers star Joe Jonas, saying she had a lot of "other stuff" happening.
"I wouldn't credit my meltdown to a guy. There was so much other stuff in my life."

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Meltdowns,
Actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized after a suspected suicide attempt on Tuesday.
The Tudors star - who has been in rehab five times for alcohol problems - refused treatment by paramedics for more than 30 minutes, meaning they were forced to call police and he was eventually taken away by ambulance to a facility near his home in Maida Vale, north London.
"This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life," a source said.
Worried neighbors saw the 33-year-old actor - who was believed to have overdosed on unspecified pills - rushed to hospital. "I saw the ambulance arriving and was worried to death. Jonathan is a lovely guy. You see him all the time in the street. He says hello and is very pleasant. I hope he is fine," one onlooker said.

David Arquette Checks Into Rehab
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Drunk, Meltdowns, Rumors,
UPDATE: Courteney Cox has responded. Read her statement here.
The new year hasn't brought much fortune or resolution to David Arquette just yet. The 39 year-old checked into rehab, which a source close to the actor say has been much needed, considering his recent separation from wife Courteney Cox.
The reason for admittance is surprisingly normal -- at least for Hollywood standards: "He is in there for drinking and depression, not hard drugs. Rehab was inevitable. He is dealing with a broken heart. He can't handle all the changes in his life. All his inner demons came out," the source said.
No word yet from Courteney, who has said that their separation does not mean divorce.
Maybe David ought to ask Lindsay for some advice; she ought to have enough experience with rehab facilities. She may even invite him to one of her Betty Ford parties.

Lindsay Lohan Wants Probation Shortened
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rumors,
As if it’s surprising: Lindsay Lohan is trying to shorten the terms of her probation.
The troubled star’s legal team want the length of the court-ordered terms - which are presently scheduled to run until August 2011 - lessened, as they fear she will “get in trouble” before the period ends. Lindsay is presently in the Betty Ford rehab center in Los Angeles, following two spells in prison this summer; serving 13 days of a 90-day jail term in July before briefly being returned in September after failing drug tests, although she was released hours later on $300,000 bail.
“The longer Lindsay stays on probation, the increased chances that she will get in trouble because of problems staying compliant with the terms of her probation. The only person that can modify terms of Lindsay’s probation, or terminate it early, is Judge Elden Fox.”
Lindsay could again face a return to prison, as she is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after her failed drug tests, which could see her incarcerated again for violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 driving under the influence (DUI) conviction. Friends of the star have said she isn’t worried by this prospect, however, and is prepared to return to jail. “The fact is jail doesn’t scare Lindsay. Before she did her time earlier this summer, she was petrified. Having spent time behind bars, it doesn’t have that effect on her. Jail isn’t a deterrent for her, period,” one source said.
Email Addict Lindsay Lohan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Rumors,
In addition to the drugs and alcohol, Lindsay Lohan is being treated for an addiction to email.
The Machete actress - who voluntarily entered into a substance abuse program at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles late last month - has reportedly had her phone usage cut, with staff also urging her to reduce the amount of time she spends on social networking websites.
“Lindsay is only allowed to use her phone for two hours a day, and only to keep in touch with family and close friends. Before, she would repeatedly and compulsively email her friends if she was ever in a situation where she felt lonely, and she would vent on Twitter,” a source said.
The policy has been implemented so Lindsay can “concentrate on herself” during therapy. Lindsay is due in court on October 22 for a probation hearing, after she failed two drugs tests last month.

Lindsay Lohan Back With Sam, Receiving Outpatient Treatment
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Break-ups, Hook-ups, Drugs, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan is back with Samantha Ronson.
The DJ regularly visited the troubled actress while she was undergoing a drug rehabilitation course at the UCLA Medical Center and the former lovers will rekindle their relationship now Lindsay has been released. Samantha has already reportedly been telling friends they are a couple again.
“Samantha always wanted to ‘fix’ Lindsay. Now that Lindsay has been legally and emotionally beat down, Sam is back to work trying to help. Apparently Lindsay never got over Sam so she was all for rekindling the relationship, a source said.
Meanwhile, Lindsay is to receive outpatient treatment several times a week. The actress - who left the UCLA Medical Center yesterday after spending 23 days there as a patient - will continue to visit the facility on a regular basis, an arrangement she is said to be happy with.
“She doesn’t have a choice but she’s not fighting it. Lindsay is going to do what she has to do. She wants this all behind her.”
Lindsay Lohan Leaves Rehab
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars, Drugs, Legal Issues,
Lindsay Lohan has been discharged from the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital after receiving just 22 days of treatment. It’s believed the 24-year-old star left the treatment facility via a back door yesterday afternoon.
The actress had been ordered by Judge Marsha Revel, the original judge presiding over her case, to undergo a three-month stint in rehab after her release from jail. However, staff at the facility recommended the sentence was excessive, and advised she should be released from the clinic early.

Lindsay Lohan Misdiagnosed, Demanding Apology From Courts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
Despite being on rehab lock-down, Lindsay Lohan is making quite the fuss, reportedly wanting an apology from the Californian courts.
The actress is said to be “fuming” after medical assessments at the UCLA Medical Center - where she is currently undergoing a 90-day stint as part of her sentence for breaching probation - found she may have been misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and is not suffering from bipolar disorder or addicted to drugs as was previously claimed.
Instead, medics believe it is possible her prescription for Adderall, which treats ADD, led to her erratic behavior, meaning the 24-year-old star feels her sentence was unfair. “Lindsay is fuming - she is really upset that the courts put her through all this,” said a source.
Although the insider says Lindsay’s representatives are “exploring their options,” it is not expected she will be able to gain legal action against the perceived damage to her public image. Criminal Defence Attorney Steve Cron explained to Fox 411’s Pop Tarts, “No judge or prosecutor could be sued under these circumstances, they have absolute immunity. Judge Revel formulated her opinion of Lindsay based on the information she had at the time from another program. The judge could still be dissatisfied with the report from UCLA and seek independent opinions or insist Lindsay be enrolled in other programs.”
