BAM MARGERA: USING METH TO LOSE WEIGHT?

Troubled Bam Margera is on the run from police and his brother Jess told TMZ that Bam is now addicted to meth. A longtime friend of the former “Jackass” star reveals that the meth addiction might be Bam’s desperate way of losing weight! The friend explains that Bam packed on the pounds during his last bout of sobriety, since he replaced drugs with food. He complained to the friend he’s unhappy with his appearance and hoped to try Ozempic, but  he couldn’t afford the $2000 a month cost. As irrational as it sounds, meth is a lot cheaper and curbs your appetite, so his friend said that could be why Bam turned to the dangerous illegal drug.

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.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO REDMOND O’NEAL?

We happened to see a photo of Ryan O’Neal limping in Beverly Hills and suddenly realized we’d heard nothing about what was going on with his son with Farrah FawcettRedmond O’Neal. (Farrah died in 2009) It’s a sad story. Redmond had a tumultuous life of drugs, rehab, and arrests, starting in his teens. In 2018, he was arrested for a violent crime spree – he robbed a 7-Eleven at knifepoint and stabbed five random people who made eye contact with him on the street. In 2019 he was dubbed “incompetent to stand trial” and transferred to the state mental hospital in Norwalk, where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. He’s 37 now and his future looks uncertain…

MATTHEW PERRY HAS NINE LIVES

It was just last summer that we saw those dreadful photos of Matthew Perry looking overweight, disheveled, and chain-smoking, wobblily visiting a medical building with his “sober coach.” (He has a history of addiction to methadone, vicoden, methamphetamines, and alcohol) He also had those whiskers that make many men look like transients. Magically, in December he announced that he was engaged to 29 year old literary manager Molly Hurwitz. He has also managed to pull himself together enough to film the Friends reunion and right now he’s filming Don’t Look Up with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. His fans are concerned about his appearance on the Friends reunion – if he’s smart he’ll shave off that stubble ASAP. But WHY is he selling his own collection of hoodys and t-shirts? The hoody he’s wearing in the photo above is $44.99, by the way…

Little known fact: Matthew Perry’s stepfather is Dateline’s Keith Morrison!

T.I. AND TINY’S “FAMILY HUSTLE” – WAS IT DRUGGING AND RAPING?

We imagine Rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny (Clifford and Tameka Harris) have been walking on eggshells since January when a former friend in Atlanta accused TI on Instagram of putting a gun to her head. The accuser was immediately bombarded by numerous women claiming that the reality couple had used their fame and glamour to kidnap, intimidate, drug, and sexually assault them. The allegations keep piling up with more victims (some underage) coming forward with eerily similar lurid stories, and they are now being investigated by the LAPD. Despite their vehement denials, the couple’s VH-1 reality show has been put on hold, and TI has already lost roles in Ant-Man and Wasp movies. And that seems to be the LEAST of their problems…

HONEY BOO BOO: A DOLLAR STILL MAKES HER HOLLER

While we were busy thinking about Covid and other things…Honey Boo Boo (Alana Thompson) grew up – a whole lot! She’s 15 now and in the 8th grade.(?) She is also either 4’4” or 4’11” tall – depending who you ask. Her mother June Shannon admits she blew all her TV money on drugs during the past year and recently got out of rehab. Just in time, the family is reuniting for yet another series: Mama June: Road to Redemption. In preparation for the new series, Alana has been investigating long nails and “stripper lashes” as you can see above.

SOFIA VERGARA OWES THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER A THANK-YOU

Does Sofia Vergara realize how lucky she is to have married nice guy Joe Manganiello? Her last fiancee, banking heir Nick Loeb, turned out to be a massive sleazeball in many ways. Sofia just won a court battle against him ruling that he cannot use IVF embryos they created together before they split. Remember, this is the guy The Enquirer exposed back in 2012, when two prostitutes came forward with info about his personal habits. The two took lie detector tests and described Nick as a sex addict who regularly indulged in viagra and cocaine fueled sex orgies with as many as five hookers at once in fancy NY hotel suites, with porn on every TV. Some of the girls cost $1000 a night. Their identities were kept a secret and after the story came out, Nick started calling hookers he knew and threatening them, trying to find out who sold the story. The story was published one week BEFORE Nick proposed to Sofia and she ACCEPTED! Unbelievable. Fortunately, she came to her senses (she should THANK The Enquirer) and they did not marry. Anyway, now Nick is promoting his conservative ANTI-ABORTION film Roe v Wade starring Jon Voight. Several actors and the original director of the film quit when they saw the “inaccurate” script and Nick ended up directing and acting in it himself. True to form, Nick never paid some of the actors who did appear in the film, and they are complaining to SAG. Sofia really dodged a bullet…

HALSTON MAKES A COMEBACK WITH EWAN MCGREGOR

If he were still alive, designer Halston would be THRILLED by the fact that handsome Ewan McGregor is playing him in the 5 episode Netflix biography Simply Halston. The production just started up again in New York after Covid issues and it’s a fascinating story. Young Halston was a hatmaker in 1961 when he made the pink hat Jackie Kennedy wore at her husband’s inauguration. When the 60’s started to loosen up, hats went OUT, and Halston started designing clothes- offering us a peek into the fashion world at that time. By the 70’s, he was a huge success and adored by celebrities such as Liza Minnelli, Liz Taylor, Lauren Bacall and Bianca Jagger, with plenty of partying at Studio 54. Halston’s life story is described as “a cautionary tale of fame, drugs, and sex” so you know there’s a lesson to be learned…

TEFLON BOXER OSCAR DE LA HOYA DOESN’T EMBARRASS EASILY

In spite of some REALLY embarrassing scandals, boxer turned promoter Oscar De La Hoya is still a favorite with his fans. Back in 2007, cross dressing photos of the handsome fighter surfaced – he was cavorting in fishnets, panties, high heels and a wig with a Serbian stripper. THAT cost him a 20 million dollar payoff and the stripper had to return the fishnets, lingerie and heels, and keep her mouth shut. Oscar blamed alcohol and cocaine and he went to rehab. In 2011, he was sued by a female escort who claimed he dressed up in her clothes and took drugs and wouldn’t let her leave an orgy in his NY hotel room. In 2018, two women he met on a dating website filmed the naked boxer engaged in sex acts with kitchen utensils and they were accused of extorting money from him. Despite all, Oscar has plenty of fans and his wife is STILL married to him!

LOOK WHO’S TALKING: KIRSTIE ALLEY SAYS PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS CAUSED VEGAS MASSACRE

If only Kirstie Alley would wise up about Scientology like Leah Remini did. We really want to like Kirstie. The Scream Queens actress certainly didn’t make any friends when she started tweeting after the Las Vegas massacre that psychiatric drugs – not necessarily guns – caused the whole thing to happen. She pointed out that violence and suicide are common side effects of anti-anxiety drugs. Of course Scientologists have an inexplicable hatred of psychiatrists and the drugs they prescribe, and blame them for many of the world’s problems. Sadly, Kirstie’s tweets reveal that she is still a slave to Scientology and might never change. She did get a powerful backlash to her remarks and dropped the subject for now.
