WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE FOR COURTNEY LOVE’S DAUGHTER FRANCES

In 2009, Frances Cobain filed deposition papers when she was seeking a restraining order against her mother Courtney Love and sordid details from these papers have just been revealed in the NY Daily News. Frances charged that her mother is a hoarder with mountains of stuff piled up from online shopping sprees. She said that her mother exists on xanax, adderall, sonata, and abilify, along with sugar and cigarettes – and rarely eats food. She was so sloppy with her prescriptions that their dog ate some pills and died! Plus her mother frequently fell asleep while smoking in bed. What a way to grow up! The description is horrifying and Frances, 19, is lucky to have left when she did. Since then she has found love with musician Isaiah Silva and they are planning a wedding. (Why Courtney doesn’t have her own reality show is a mystery to us.)

DEMI MOORE AND DRUGS: SHE’S NOT THE INNOCENT VICTIM SHE APPEARED TO BE

Wait a minute, the whole Demi Moore/Ashton Kutcher divorce story just took a U-turn. TMZ reports that Demi was inhaling nitrous oxide with a friend before she had a seizure and was hospitalized. Nitrous Oxide! This is something bored young teenagers do after graduating from glue-sniffing. For a woman of Demi’s age and accomplishment, it’s mind boggling. What ELSE does she do? Obviously Demi is not the innocent victim of her husband’s infidelity that she appeared to be. Maybe she’s been abusing drugs for a long time and DROVE Ashton to seek companionship elsewhere. He’s probably happy this information surfaced because the press has branded him the villain who caused the split. There’s WAY more to this than meets the eye.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR HOSPITALIZED: NICE GIRLS HAVE PROBLEMS TOO

Poor Heather Locklear. Anxiety and depression seem to be ruling her life for the past few years. Her frightened sister just called 911 because Heather, 50, had mixed alcohol and prescription drugs and she was taken to the hospital. In 2008, Heather had a suicide scare and checked into a medical facility in Arizona for 30 days to treat her “anxiety and depression,” although it seems apparent that substance abuse was involved. She had a several DUI situations after that and she and her fiancee Jack Wagner split up a few months ago. She and her exhusband Richie Sambora share custody of their teenage daughter Ava, pictured above.

THE DECLINE AND FALL OF DR ARNOLD KLEIN

For decades, Dr Arnold Klein was the most famous dermatologist in Beverly Hills and he was a pioneer in the development of collagen and other skin injectables. His waiting room was always loaded with celebrities in sunglasses and he was invited to all the best places. Klein had three lavish homes, a collection of cars, and lived like a king. During those heady times, we visited his office to try and dig up some gossip. We found him to be really nice and he loved publicity so he gave us a special price. Now he’s bankrupt and according to the LA Times, is being investigated by the Medical Board of California for overprescribing drugs for Michael Jackson. He may lose his medical license. Before she died, his dear friend Elizabeth Taylor turned on him for publicly dishing details of Michael’s medical and sex life. Klein is now reduced to auctioning off gifts his celebrity clients gave him to try and pay off the 12 million he owes. His behavior makes you wonder if he was sampling his own drugs…

DREW BARRYMORE HAS A HALF BROTHER ON SKID ROW



Apparently Madonna isn’t the only celebrity with a brother on skid row.
Mike Walker in The Enquirer reports that Drew Barrymore has a half brother named John Barrymore III who is homeless in downtown Los Angeles. In fact, he’s walking around wearing a t-shirt that says “I’M DREW BARRYMORE’S BROTHER” and he can prove it. Poor Drew comes from a famous acting family that is plagued with alcoholism, drug addiction, and mental illness. Drew ended up supporting her own father John Barrymore Jr in his later derelict years but she’s not close to her older half brother, whose mother was actress Cara Williams.

SHOULD THE JACKSONS BE “OVERJOYED” BY THE MURRAY VERDICT?

Why Michael Jackson’s family feels so celebratory since Dr Murray was appropriately found guilty is puzzling – it’s not like he WANTED Michael to die. It reminds us of parents who lose a child to drugs – they desperately want someone else to BLAME because they can’t bear to admit their child destroyed himself. So they accuse the drug dealer of murder. In fact, their children, and Michael Jackson, would still be alive if they hadn’t been addicted to drugs. Period. Murray was the doctor who got caught – what about all the other doctors who gave Michael what he wanted? There’s a lot of malpractice here, but ultimately Michael was a more than willing victim. (Above, La Toya says she’s “Overjoyed.”)

EVEN WHEN HE HAD MONEY, SLY STONE LIVED IN A VEHICLE

This isn’t the first time Sly Stone has lived in a vehicle rather than a home. Back in the 70’s he had a large house on Bel Air Road that once belonged to John Phillips of The Mamas and Papas. The lavish grounds were even occupied by peacocks when Sly bought the place. Sly had an enormous entourage of drug and music oriented people hanging out, cooking and living off him in the house. Instead of chasing them away, Sly ended up living in his large Winnebago in the driveway. He traveled in the Winnebago instead of a car because he believed police couldn’t search his “home” without a warrant, like they could his car. So he felt safer with his drugs. It’s sad that bad choices and economic misfortune has reduced such a talented musician to living in a camper van in Crenshaw, but maybe he’s not as miserable as we assume.

REDMOND O’NEAL: THIS IS WHAT HEROIN DOES TO YOUR FACE

Redmond O’Neal just can’t get it right. The last judge he saw warned him that if he didn’t clean up in his current rehab, he’d be sent to state prison for his accumulated felonies. This week someone sneaked drugs to him in rehab and he flunked a drug test. He’s expected to be back in front of the judge this week and the outcome won’t be good. But nothing could be worse than his last mug shot. This sunken, aging face belongs to a privileged 26 year old kid with two good looking parents. Look what he’s done to himself.

AMY WINEHOUSE’S EX-HUSBAND BLAKE FIELDER- CIVIL IS WILLING TO TELL ALL

While Amy Winehouse’s unfortunate exhusband Blake Fielder-Civil has been languishing in jail, he’s been thinking about writing a book about his romance and two year marriage with Amy. Blake is currently incarcerated for burglary and gun charges, so he has a lot of time to think. Publishers are probably buzzing around him because he also has a lot of photos and filmed footage of Amy that he’s never shared. They divorced in 2009. This could be a life changing opportunity for Blake who’s been accused of getting Amy into hard drugs. At the very least it could be another “Sid & Nancy” story.

REDMOND O’NEAL BACK ON DRUGS AND BACK IN JAIL

While Ryan O’Neal is fighting to hold onto that Warhol painting of Farrah that she probably willed to her alma mater the University of Texas, his son Redmond, 26, is back into drugs. He got out of his court ordered rehab just last August according to RadarOnline, and was pulled over today in Santa Monica for running a red light. Police found heroin in his car and locked him up. After around a dozen rehab attempts, we wonder if there’s much hope for Redmond. His mother left him enough money to live without working and he has minimal education. His biggest crime now is driving.
