EDWARD FURLONG HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS

It’s sad to remember how promising Edward Furlong’s career once was- he was an appealing actor in 1998 when he starred in American History X. Alcoholism and drug addiction – not to mention smoking 3 packs a day – ravaged his once good looks. That and problems with the law and his marriage have sidelined his career and the movies he does go straight to DVD. Now 35, Edward was photographed leaving The Rainbow on Sunset Strip with a woman who looks like his estranged wife Rachael. She also resembles the late Jeff Conaway’s girlfriend.

24 Alcohol Keifer Sutherland Substance Abuse

KEIFER SUTHERLAND SUFFERED AN UNFORTUNATE EPISODE OF FACE-SQUEEZING

#keifersutherland #janetcharlton

If there’s anyone you can count on for falling “off the wagon” spectacularly at regular intervals – it’s Keifer Sutherland. According to Mike Walker at the National Enquirer, the “24” actor got playful at the posh Petit Ermitage in West Hollywood after imbibing heavily at the bar. He started randomly grabbing puzzled people by the cheeks and pushing their faces into distorted shapes and then laughing hysterically at the goofy results. Eventually one irritated guy not only resisted, he threatened to punch Keifer in the face, and the giggling actor finally backed off.

Alcohol Alicia Etheridge Bobby Brown Kids Rehab

BOOZED UP BOBBY BROWN NEEDED REHAB A LONG TIME AGO, AND NO ONE TOLD HIM

#bobbybrown #rehab #janetcharlton

Can’t say we’re the LEAST bit surprised to hear that Bobby Brown checked into rehab. Remember he was arrested for DUI in March when he was stopped for driving while talking on his cell phone. A few months before that, we told you we got into a Beverly Hills elevator with Bobby, his then fiancée Alicia Etheridge, and their young son, (Bobby’s 6th child) and although it was only 12 noon, Bobby REEKED of alcohol. What DOES surprise us is the fact that his girlfriend Alicia MARRIED him anyway, two months ago. Why would anyone marry an apparent alcoholic? We’re surprised that she didn’t push him into rehab before the wedding. What’s wrong with these people? So far there are no details on where or how he is getting treatment.

Alcohol Alicia Etheridge Bobby Brown Elevator Whitney Houston

BOBBY BROWN PARTIES EARLY IN THE DAY

Today we squeezed into a crowded elevator at a Beverly Hills parking structure. As we rode up we heard a guy in the back laughing and playing with a little boy. We also smelled alcohol, and it was only 12:30 in the afternoon! As the doors opened a man a woman and a little boy got off and as the guy turned to take the child’s hand, we recognized Whitney Houston’s exhusband Bobby Brown (he was with his fiancee Alicia Etheridge and their toddler Cassius.) Bobby seemed happy and looked like a doting dad, but he did REEK of alcohol…

Alcohol Drew Barrymore Drugs John Barrymore Skid Row

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.

Alcohol Eric Johnson Jessica Simpson Pregnant

WHEN JESSICA SIMPSON GIVES UP DRINKING, SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE

Jessica Simpson has given up alcohol for the duration of her pregnancy and it’s NOT EASY because her family loves cocktails. So naturally, she asked everyone around her to give it up too. That includes her fiancee Eric Johnson, who enjoyed drinking vodka with Jessica. Jessica’s father Joe gave up his whiskey and her mother Tina gave up Margaritas – at least when Jessica is around. Eric promised not to drink at all until Jessica can drink again.

Madonna’s alcoholic brother who is living on the streets in Michigan gave an interview to the Daily Mail that’s quite revealing. Madonna, who is said to have a fortune of 650 million dollars, has not forsaken him. Anthony Ciccone, 55, admits that his sister Madonna, 53, has many times offered to pay for him to go to rehab and in fact, she sent him to a Houston clinic for two months but it “didn’t help.” He doesn’t want to stop drinking and feels rehab is not ALWAYS the answer. His alcoholism got him fired from the family winery 18 months ago and he’s been living as a vagrant on skid row with the crackheads ever since. His hard life is revealed in the fact that he looks SO much older than his sister.

Alcohol Booze Courteney Cox David Arquette Rehab

COURTENEY COX GOT HER WISH: DAVID ARQUETTE CHECKED INTO REHAB

David Arquette is making a grand last attempt to save his marriage to Courteney Cox by checking into rehab. As we told you, Courteney has been alarmed by David’s alcohol consumption and late partying since they split up and she tried to talk him into rehab. She pointed out that if nothing else, he owed it to his daughter. After one last boozy night out at the Roosevelt Hotel on New Year’s Eve, David went straight to rehab, saying he “owed it to his family.”

Booze Denial Mel Gibson Racist Rehab

EVEN REHAB CAN’T SAVE MEL GIBSON’S REPUTATION AND CAREER

Usually a long and seemingly sincere visit to rehab is the first step for Hollywood celebrities hoping to clear up their reputations – and it generally WORKS. People love to forgive. Mel Gibson’s handlers (what’s left of them) are certainly trying to talk him into rehab right now, but when the arrogant actor is in the throes of his addiction (to alcohol and possibly other substances) and he’s in denial. (Dr Drew of Celebrity Rehab is probably licking his chops as we write this.) Gibson has insulted and offended just about everyone – women, Jews, Latinos, gays, journalists, blacks, cops, non-Catholics, – and he’s already blown his chances for redemption. Rehab isn’t enough. We suggest he move back to Australia and live on a farm out of the limelight.

David Hasselhoff took his daughters Hayley and Taylor to BOA steak house in West Hollywood and one of the girls did the driving. He LOOKS reasonably sober tonight – do you suppose that when his daughters complain about his drinking, he buys them Chanel bags?
