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.

Assault Bad Behavior City of Lies Johnny Depp Lawsuit

AMBER HEARD ISN’T THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT JOHNNY DEPP

Johnny Depp has been wallowing in undeserved admiration from his fans ever since he won his libel suit against Amber Heard. His happy lawyers no doubt advised him to quickly settle a lawsuit filed against him by a crew member on the film City of Lies, before the lurid details could become public and spoil his positive aura. Fact is, Johnny was obnoxious while filming the movie – he was irresponsibly drinking and using drugs and treated co-workers horribly by keeping people waiting for HOURS or not bothering to show up at all. His ego got the best of him and he beat up a crew member who rubbed him the wrong way. It was too late to replace Depp and everyone had to power through the awful shoot, vowing not to work with Depp again. Producers pressured the crew guy to sign an agreement that he would not press charges against their leading man. He refused and they FIRED him! So naturally he did file a lawsuit, and now he’s enjoying the hefty settlement that he certainly earned.

Alcohol Guns Joan Rivers Murder Phil Spector

NO ONE IS MOURNING THE LOSS OF PHIL SPECTOR

There’s no denying that in his early years Phil Spector wrote and produced some delightful music. We LOVED the Ronettes, Ike and Tina, and The Righteous Brothers. His “wall of sound” enhanced everything he created. There is reason to celebrate his music, but certainly NOT his life. Most of his wives and girlfriends described him as an abusive monster who thought nothing of pulling out a gun if they spurned his advances. In fact, guns and alcohol were the center of his universe long before he murdered Lana Clarkson. We had a Phil Spector experience back in the 90’s at a Christmas party at Joan Rivers home in Manhattan. When the party started (we were always the first to arrive and last to leave) Spector was quiet and standoffish. But the more he drank, the louder and bossier he became. Finally Joan had to take action to calm him down. Fortunately he didn’t pull out a gun, but it was obvious he had a very problematic personality. No surprise that he was convicted of murder, but he only got 19 years and was eligible for parole in 2024. His MUSIC will be fondly remembered.

Alcohol Designated Survivor kiefer sutherland

KIEFER IS HOLLYWOOD’S DESIGNATED SURVIVOR

The title “Designated Survivor“ applies perfectly to the series star Kiefer Sutherland, 52. As we all know (and he concedes) Kiefer is a bigtime boozer – who can forget that photo of him in a bar with his pants around his ankles? Kiefer is the first to admit that almost every bad thing that’s ever happened to him is because he likes to go to bars and drink. His “24” costar Freddie Prinze called him “the most unprofessional dude in the world” and hated working with him. Although he has NOT given up drinking, Kiefer still manages to get one high paying acting job after another and numerous beautiful girlfriends. Case in point: Cindy Vela, above, has been with Kiefer for five years, through think and thin -or should we say wet and dry. Kiefer has MORE than survived….

airplane Airport Alcohol Anger Anger Management Jonathan Rhys Meyers

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS SURVIVED AN AIRPLANE FLIGHT WITHOUT A CASE OF THE CRAZIES

It’s a day to celebrate for Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He actually made it through an airplane flight (they just arrived in Paris) without getting drunk and making a horrible scene. Police were involved in incidents in Dublin, New York, Paris, and LA when he became inebriated before and during flights and abused airline personnel using unprintable obscenities against them. If his wife was present he insulted her and loudly threatened to divorce her as well. There’s something about airports that set off his drinking and anger issues. Later he’s apologetic, and despite her humiliation, his wife Mara (above with their child Wolf) always forgives him. She says he’s receiving “holistic treatment for his anger issues.”

airplane Airport Alcohol Anger Anger Management Jonathan Rhys Meyers

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS SHOULD AVOID AIRPORTS AT ALL COSTS

Seems like every time we get some news about Match Point star Jonathan Rhys Meyers, it ‘s all about a drunken outburst at an airport. He’s been in and out of rehabs fighting alcohol and anger issues and both problems are exacerbated when flying. During his last incident starting in Miami he reportedly waved wheelchair passengers out of the way and insisted on boarding first because he was “a first class passenger.” A witness said that during the flight he consumed drink after drink, visited the bathroom over and over, and was so inebriated that he didn’t notice that his pants fell down. Then he pulled out an e-cigarette and when his wife begged him to stop he cursed her and told her he wanted a divorce. Police met him when the plane arrived at LAX and his wife Mara made excuses for him (?) and apologized profusely. He didn’t get arrested, but we pity that wife. And after four or five of these abusive “incidents,” why hasn’t he been banned from flying those airlines?

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.)

Alcohol Amber Heard Divorce Johnny Depp

JOHNNY DEPP: THE TWINKLE IN HIS EYE HAS BEEN GONE FOR A LONG TIME

Now you know exactly what was “eating” Johnny Depp. His divorce will reveal that his life is a shambles thanks to his alcohol abuse. When he was living in he South of France he developed a taste for wine in a big way. He even had his own winery. After his divorce from Vanessa Paradis, his drinking increased and he showed up at several events half out of his mind and looking bloated. His rock n’ roll buddies did nothing to discourage his substance abuse and his young bride Amber Heard probably didn’t realize the depth of his problem. She comes out of the messy divorce with a much higher career profile so it’s all good for her. We believe Amber’s claim that he roughed her up because alcoholics are not gentle. But we still love Johnny, and hope he can pull himself together with some help.

Alcohol Eating Disorder Kesha Rehab

CHEESEBURGERS DIDN’T FORCE KESHA INTO REHAB

We were waiting for the truth to come out about Kesha’s checking into rehab for an “eating disorder.” Absurd. She’s not too thin OR too fat, but she’s out of shape like a middle aged beer drinker. Drinking is her real problem. Kesha recently lamented that male rockers can celebrate their alcohol consumption but females are frowned upon. She and her boyfriend broke up last year and she’s been out and about partying hard ever since. Her mother even joins her on many occasions. Boozing is a big part of her songwriting and her wild reputation so it won’t be easy to give it up.

Alcohol Detox Patricia Krentcil Tan Tanning Bed

TAN MOM PATRICIA KRENTCIL HAD ONE TOO MANY ON A DELTA FLIGHT

It’s about time. At long last the appalling woman known as “Tan Mom,” Patricia Krentcil, has been locked up in detox! She became a loudmouth public figure when she was accused of putting her then five year old daughter into a New Jersey tanning bed. It turned out that Krentcil’s REAL problem is alcohol. This woman has been capitalizing on her fame by making a huge fool of herself doing public appearances and incoherent interviews and nobody stops her. She has FIVE children from the ages of 5 to 19 that she is humiliating and no doubt neglecting. Her so-called husband has remained silent and allowed the circus to continue. This weekend she was intoxicated on a Delta flight in Minneapolis and cops took her to detox. Hopefully, social services will check on her children.
