Addiction Book Friends Matthew Perry

MATTHEW PERRY MAKES A COMEBACK

Matthew Perry, 53, hasn’t worked for at least the last five years, and every time we’ve seen photos of him they were far from flattering. He looked unshaven and sometimes unkempt in pajama-like clothing. It’s common knowledge that he’s been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, but maybe now he’s finally gotten a grip on it. While he wasn’t acting, he was actually writing a book, and that’s a GOOD thing. He finally finished his memoir called Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing – coming out Nov 1. He talks about his “lost love,” (who could that be?) his darkest days, and behind-the-scenes Friends stories – with plenty of humor. Sounds like a best seller…

Addiction Alcohol Bizarre Drugs Odd Behavior Wendy Williams

THINGS AREN’T GETTING BETTER FOR WENDY WILLIAMS

Wendy Williams needs help. It’s obvious that she has no people around her capable of helping her pull her life together. Wendy’s most recent embarrassment happened at the Louis Vuitton store in Soho. According to a NY website Gossip of the City Tea, Wendy was photographed “sleeping” on a bed in the store display window with a big glass of champagne by her side. As observers gathered, looking in the window, it appeared that she sat bolt upright and looked startled when store security approached and they had a conversation. Since her TV show was canceled, Wendy has been spiraling downward. She blames her bizarre behavior on health problems as well as her addiction to alcohol and drugs. Rehab didn’t help – what Wendy needs is hardcore professional guidance – and a true friend.

Addiction Alcohol Ben Affleck Gambling Jennifer Garner

BEN AFFLECK: LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING

On paper, Ben Affleck looks like a great catch. He’s tall, dark, handsome, and smart, and has a successful career as an award-winning actor and director. Certainly he has attracted his share of equally attractive and successful women. But all is not as it appears. Ben has had a drinking problem for quite awhile that called for several visits to rehab. At times he can be surly and moody. What’s more, Ben is addicted to gambling in excess and has never totally been able to give THAT up, despite financial repercussions. Jennifer Garner has endured all of his addictions and we have to give her credit for never complaining. And she is trying to make the most of their co-parenting. Ben did ONE thing right – he married Jennifer. (Above, Ben, looking a bit puffy, took Seraphina to karate class.)

Addiction Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom

KHLOE KARDASHIAN: THE PITY PARTY IS OVER!

We can’t believe ANYONE would criticize Khloe Kardashian for abandoning her addicted and estranged husband Lamar Odom after his recent drunk and vomiting debacle on an airplane. For once, we’re on HER side. Odom has had more chances than he deserves. After his near-fatal overdose in a brothel, Khloe stayed married to him simply so he could use HER medical insurance to slowly recover. NOT because she hoped to reconcile. She even leased him a house after he left the hospital. As soon as he started drinking/using again, she cut him off and reinstated the divorce. She did all the right things and he did all the WRONG things. It’s time for this pathetic-excuse-for-a-man to help himself.

Addiction Booze Charlie Sheen Crimes and Misdemeanors Domestic Violence Drugs Gambling Hookers Sex Addict Two And A Half Men

CHARLIE SHEEN IS THE MOST POPULAR ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY SINCE ERROL FLYNN

Is there ANYTHING Charlie Sheen hasn’t been addicted to? First it was BOOZE, and DRUGS, including heroin and crack, then it was SEX with hookers on call at all hours. And don’t forget, when he was high he liked to go SHOPPING and blow tons of money on frivolities. He’s also been accused of being addicted to ONLINE sex and admits his addiction to online GAMBLING. His addictions contributed to the domestic violence that got him arrested for roughing up his wife in Aspen. Charlie’s lawyer had a sweet deal set up whereby Charlie would only serve 30 days in jail and be able to leave jail for up to 12 hours a day and work at a local community theater, coaching aspiring actors. But the deal fell through because they don’t allow smoking at the theater and Charlie is addicted to his NICOTINE habit. So the court date is postponed until July 12 and the new deal might interfere with the “Two and a Half Men” shooting schedule. It’s amazing but Charlie’s self indulgences seem not to affect his popularity or that of his show. He’s teflon. No matter WHAT he does, everybody loves Charlie.

Addiction Booze Denial Drugs Heather Locklear Rehab

HEATHER LOCKLEAR CHECKED OUT OF REHAB EARLY

To be honest, sweet little Heather Locklear is one of the last people we ever expected to land in rehab. But since her divorce from Richie Sambora her personal problems have escalated. According to the Enquirer, Heather didn’t deliver herself to rehab to treat her “depression and anxiety” – she actually needed help with her addictions to alcohol, cocaine, and sleeping pills. On June 19 she checked into the Sierra Tucson clinic for treatment, but like Amy Winehouse , she checked OUT way too soon – on July 4! Her publicist says she’s still in treatment somewhere – we hope it’s true.

Addiction Bill Murray Booze Divorce

BILL MURRAY BITES BACK – AND IT ISN'T PRETTY

Photo Credit: Splash News

Bill Murray is striking back at his estranged wife Jennifer after she made all those unflattering charges against him in her divorce papers. Jennifer claims Bill is violent and addicted to booze and sex, but apparently she has drinking problems of her own, and her Charleston, S.C. neighbors have called the cops on her more than once. According to the NY Post, on March 17 of this year, Jennifer allegedly got drunk and abusive and her children ran to a neighbor’s house for help. Police intervened and the kids were sent to stay with a family friend until Bill returned from California. Obviously Bill’s lawyers are releasing this info to the NY Post to counteract Jennifer’s accusations against Bill. Again, we really feel sorry for the kids- both parents seem messed up.

Addiction Bill Murray Booze Cheaters Divorce Drugs

THE REAL REASON WHY BILL MURRAY'S WIFE IS DIVORCING HIM

“Groundhog Day” is one of our all time favorite movies, but we’re not the least bit surprised that Bill Murray’s long suffering wife Jennifer filed for divorce. It’s a miracle the marriage lasted for ten years – and four children, no less! Jennifer accused Bill of being addicted to booze, drugs, and sex, as well as being abusive, cheating on her, and abandoning the family. We BELIEVE it all! Murray, who is noted for “aging badly,” announced awhile back that he was “retired” so producers and fans would leave him alone. (He figured he could work when he wanted to like Jay-Z) He filled his free time by traveling solo to golf tournaments all over the world and partying like a madman. He drank college kids under the table at an all night soiree in Scotland and he was arrested in Sweden for driving a golf cart drunk. (photo above) In the worst possible sense, Jennifer became a GOLF WIDOW. Jennifer is set to collect 7 million from the prenup, but we do feel sorry for the kids.

Addiction Booze Curb Your Enthusiasm Richard Lewis Substance Abuse

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR RICHARD LEWIS

Photo Credit: Buzz Foto

Richard Lewis is in a great mood as he leaves his agent’s office. Curb Your Enthusiasm gave this neurotic comic just the jolt his career needed. Recently he’s talked to Howard Stern about his addictions to alcohol, sex, etc. We remember back the 90’s when Richard showed up in the women’s shoe department of Macy’s in the Beverly Center at 9AM, and he was pacing back and forth talking to himself and getting more and more agitated! The sales clerks got very nervous, but eventually he left without incident. He’s come along way since then.
