She is a drug addict that is currently failing Celebrity Rehab. You just never know. Plus, I don't like to jinx people I like. :-)

Leif Garrett. I watched him last night on Celeb Rehab. His Mom has stage 4 lung cancer. He has that look in his eyes. He could care less about life.

Ah...I watched her modeling show a couple of times, a couple years ago. Is it still on? What a bitch!! I didn't know she was a drug addict....or in on? Celebrity Rehab.

She was on "I'm a Celebrity get me outa here" She was vile to watch. I do not know her drug of choice though. She is a user of humans, you can tell by her reactions to certain things. She is a survivor if she OD's it will be by mistake. Yes I am a reality show watcher.

benzos primarily, I think. Leif would have been a good pick too.

There's plenty of others I'd throw in too...
Jack LaLane
Harry Morgan
Abe Vigoda
Jeff Conaway
Andy Rooney
Elizabeth Taylor
And most likely to be found on the beach face down in a pile of her own puke....SNOOKI!!!!!

Everybody else who follows Jerry Doyle (radio host and Babylon-5 actor) is also amazed that the guy is still kickin'.

Gary Busey had a terrible motorcycle wreck, that is the reason he is out of it. He is the reason California has a helmet law.

I know. I saw him on a Comedy Channel roast back in the fall, and I thought he was looking and sounding a whole lot better.
Conaway had something happen to him, too, if I remember correctly, that caused him to be addicted to Rx pain drugs...though I think he has other addictions too.

She is in rehab right now for "emotional issues". According to most gossip sites those issues stem from a great love of cocaine. She is also rumored to get so wasted at parties that she bangs half the guys there. There have been a ton of thinly veiled blind items about her in the past year. Girl has some major issues.

oh. I had heard that she had some issues, but that they were weight related. I saw Demi interviewed one time and she said that she was really chubby when she was young and that she never wanted to be like that again. That she watches her food intake and excercises a lot, to make sure that she stays thin.
Her little sister is Eva Longoria's daughter "Juanita" on Desperate Housewives.

I dunno - I think he's nuked more brain cells than he could have safely lost even if he were remotely intelligent, which he's not. He's a burnout in the grand Ozzy Osbourne tradition.

She has been having LOTS of issues, the rehab is only part of it. She's also apparently a cutter, and acting out not unlike Britney before she had her massive meltdown. Add to that her breakup with Joe Jonas (which is what I think sent her over the edge) and her coke habit, and she is headed rapidly downhill.

Johnny Knoxville is from here (duh! )....it won't be drugs or alcohol that gets him, but the stupid stunts that he does. It was just in the local paper here this week, that his last movie has grossed $180+ million.

Saw a report on one of the morning shows, this morning...that Mark what's his name that owns the Texas basketball team...wants to do a Charlie Sheen Realty Show, and Charlie has a marketing "team" now, the are doing "winning" t-shirts among other things.
Apparently, some people think he's very "in" because he has over 2 million twitter followers. ::)

I don't think anyone picked Mike Starr, former member of Alice In Chains.
He was found dead last Tuesday of an apparent drug overdose.
I watched him on Celebrity Rehab. He managed to stay sober for awhile, but the man was fighting some major demons.
RIP Mike.

Been having a lot of people here, that I know, die too.
Another agent I used to work with died this week, from breast cancer and only 58. Sharron was the 4th one in less than a month. 2 from cancer, 1 murdered (she and her husband were murdered in their home by their son :( ), one from complications of ill health and age. The two with cancer I worked with at another company, the other two work for my company, the older gentleman in my office.
My son-in-law's grandmother died Wednesday night. We're going to that tonight. I've never met her, as she has had Altzheimer's for several years, and has not recognized my SIL for over 4 years, and though she and my daughter had been together several times at family events, she did not know who J is. So sad...6 greatgrandchildren and never recognized any of them. She was only 77...which really isn't old anymore.

Jeez. Not sure I can pray fast or hard enough, Deb. I'll do my best though. ;) Sounds like '11 is a crap shoot for many. And for many different reasons...

One thing I didn't even realize until today and could have given myself a big, "D'OH!" over:
He and Peter Graves were brothers. Listen to their voices.

Clarence Clemons, the saxophone player in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, has died, aged 69, a spokeswoman for the band has said.
Clemons was taken to hospital about a week ago after suffering a stroke at his home in Singer Island, in the US state of Florida.

Country Star Glen Campbell Diagnosed with Alzheimer's
NASHVILLE – Country legend Glen Campbell has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, his wife told People magazine Wednesday.
Though the "Rhinestone Cowboy" singer has suffered from minor short-term memory loss for several years, the Alzheimer's diagnosis came about six months ago, wife Kim Campbell said.
The 75-year-old has decided to give a set of farewell live performances this fall and his family wanted to go public with the news of his disease so the public would be aware of his condition.
