Overdose

DID PRINCE DIE LIKE ELVIS?

It had to be painkillers that took Prince from us too soon – but many questions are still unanswered. His Percocet overdose that caused his plane to land in Illinois for emergency treatment tells a lot of the story. But one wonders if Prince ever really HAD the double hip replacement he supposedly needed in 2009. His Jehovah’s Witness religion forbade the surgery, but did Prince do it anyway? He also had foot pain from wearing those high heels at all times – even when physically active. (Recently he’d been wearing high heel sneakers.) He was vocal about NOT doing drugs, but, like Elvis Presley, was he convinced that PRESCRIPTION drugs were okay? Prince and Elvis both lived in insulated worlds, convinced they had special needs others didn’t have, and therefore self-medicating was acceptable. Apparently Michael Jackson, Prince, and many others did NOT learn a lesson from Elvis’s death.

Ten months after the fact, Lea Michele is STILL using her deceased boyfriend Cory Monteith to stimulate publicity for herself as the grieving girlfriend. It was last July that Cory died of a heroin overdose and his girlfriend Michele has been boo-hooing and doing interviews on their relationship nonstop ever since. Just in case people forgot about her for ten minutes, Lea posted a photo of herself and Cory together online today as a tribute to what would have been his birthday. Enough already!

WILL THE CORY MONTEITH MEMORIALS AND TRIBUTES NEVER END?

It’s amazing how “Glee’s” publicity people have been cashing in on the tragic death of Cory Monteith. Since the 31 year old actor died from a heroin and alcohol overdose on July 13, the show has been churning out what seems like daily press releases about the other cast members,’ including his girlfriend Lea Michelle’s, devastation and remarks. Memorials and tributes to Monteith popped up everywhere. Glee’s episode dedicated to Cory had tremendous build-up and the cast recorded six songs in his memory. That’s nice, but ENOUGH ALREADY! Cory didn’t die trying to save a child from a fire, he OVERDOSED. It was a stupid, selfish thing to do. Does he really rate a pedestal?

DR DREW HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MINDY McCREADY’S DEATH

Blaming Dr Drew Pinsky for the death of Mindy McCready or any of the other Celebrity Rehab patients who eventually overdosed is beyond ridiculous. Every one of his celebrity patients who died was a long term substance abuser and didn’t want to help themselves. Besides McCready’s suicide, actor Jeff Conaway, police brutality victim Rodney King, Real World participant Joey Kovar, and musician Mike Starr, have overdosed. It’s a sad fact that some addicts simply do not want to be “cured” and do not respond to any kind of help. Dr Drew doesn’t have a higher number of casualties than other addiction specialists- they‘re just more visible. Sadly, some people simply cannot be saved.
