Last night on David Letterman, people got the chance to see how far Joaquin Phoenix would take his Andy Kaufman routine. The answer: pretty far. Letterman spent the entire night ripping into Joaquin while he just sat there mostly silent and acting high. The whole thing was rather bizarre and a could be considered a disaster by some. Letterman could have interviewed a pedophile about what he did to his victims and it’d be less uncomfortable.
To promote The Wackness starring Sir Ben Kingsley, Revolver released a statement saying that hidden in one of the first 1,000 DVDs of The Wackness is a Golden Ticket. This Willy Wonka style prize will be redeemable for a weekend getaway for 2 to the city of Amsterdam. Not only does the winner get a free vacation, they also get a complimentary bag of weed from Amsterdam cafe, Hill Street Blues.
Of course, anti-drug activists aren’t too thrilled. They’ve called the PR stunt unacceptable and says cannabis shouldn’t be “glamorized.”
Reps for Revolver lit up a fatty and said:
“The Wackness is all about people coming together through a love of weed, and we are just celebrating that fact in a fun, light-hearted way with a free trip to Amsterdam, the most famous weed-smoking European city.”
In other news, Michael Phelps was seen running to the video store to buy out whole stocks of The Wackness. Friends told him he could afford this trip on his own. Possibly still high, Phelps responded, “No, man. You don’t understand. This is free!”
Junkie Amy Winehouse has received the cold, hard truth from doctors at a private London hospital who have warned her to quit her drug habit or face an untimely death.
Amy, who has been at the hospital since Monday, had tests ran after collapsing at her home in Camden. According to reports, doctors ran the tests to see what was ailing her. They came back “inconclusive,” which I don’t believe unless these doctors are complete morons.
A source told The Sun, “She might have escaped this time, but eventually she won’t get up again. The only thing to stop that happening is if she quits drugs.”
I truly hope she cleans herself up but really I think she may be too far gone to turn back. Not that it couldn’t be done, I just don’t think she honestly realizes that she is dying. I mean, doesn’t she look in the mirror sometimes and go, “What the f*ck am I doing to myself?!”
If I was her parent I would be doing anything in my power to get, and keep, her in rehab. Hell, if I had to stay with her and go through it with her I would. If somebody doesn’t step up and really support this kid she’s going to become just another Rock n’ Roll casualty . .
“I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen.”
- Robert Downey Jr. says in 2003 he was driving a car filled with “tons of f**king dope” when he stopped at the restaurant. Something about the experience made him throw all of the drugs he had into the Pacific Ocean and decide to clean up his life.
Amy Winehouse has been on a downward spiral for the better part of this and last year. Now her career may well be over. News of the World obtained leaked footage of Amy Winehouse singing a racist chant, “Blacks, Pakis, Gooks and Nips, Gooks and Nips! (And deaf and dumb and blind and gay!)” to the tune of the popular kids song, “Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.” The video was shot by husband Blake Fielder-Civil, currently in prison, in what NOTW describes as a “crack den (her home?). An apt description since Amy is surrounded by what appears to be heroin, a homemade crack pipe and other drug paraphernalia. That’s not all. NOTW also has photos:
Some of the most bizarre photos show Blake and Amy horsing around on a bed, their faces almost touching, and swapping white tablets from mouth to mouth.
Another catches Amy, obviously out of her head and clutching her homemade crack pipe, as she turns hooded eyes, deadened by the drug, to the lens. In further scenes the depths the couple have sunk to is illustrated by the seedy sex scenes Blake was eager to record on video.
One shows a disinterested Amy pleasuring him with one hand while chatting matter-of-factly on a phone held in the other.
Our source said: “What’s really telling is Amy’s clear lack of enthusiasm. From her demeanour, she looks under the influence and it appears Blake probably is too. Videoing something like that is so sleazy.”
There’s more shocking footage filmed in the public stairwell of a hotel. First Blake asks Amy to perform oral sex on him. A woozy-looking Amy asks: “Are you vidding (videoing)?” and Blake tells her to wink at the camera.
What’s more disturbing than the video is the fact Amy Winehouse fondled Blake’s package without his penis shriveling up and falling off. Couple that with the fact that Blake gave Amy an open invitation to fellate him and you may have the most shocking video ever. I’d rather rape a sleeping bear than have sexual contact with Amy. That way, when I explain to people that my genitals are mangled because I molested a 500 pound animal, their level of disgust will be much lower than had I told them it’s because Amy Winehouse put her mouth on it.
Check out the video at the News of the World along with other details like “Blake takes baths with dudes” and “Blake’s bearded friends touch his crotch.”
“I’m still sober! . . Just when I was about to change that and wreck my life, the cops came and saved me! . . . I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the Seventh Precinct.”
The first thing that pops in my head is – that sounds like an addict talking.
Anyhow, she went on, using her dog’s death as an excuse for her attempt at a relapse.
“There’s no excuse for what I did,” Tatum told the Post. “I lost my Scottish terrier, Lena. That seemed to set me off. She got old. She got cancer. She was the fabric of our family. We had to let her go to heaven. My daughter and I had to put her down. It was too horrible for words.
“I couldn’t get out of it. I was going to my psychiatrist. I was doing everything I could do. I have the disease of alcoholism. It’s lifelong. I treat it every day by going to my 12-step program.”
She goes on to explain that the death of her 16 year-old dog brought back memories of losing her mother.
“It triggered that my mother passed away [from addiction] in ‘98. My father [actor Ryan O'Neal] and I are estranged.”
I want to believe Tatum, I really do. But for some reason I don’t. Not that I think she does it all the time anymore – or if she does, she hides it well. That could be the case as there are a lot of ‘functional’ addicts out there. And some are really good at hiding it . . and lying about it.
Regardless, I love Tatum and I hope she has been sober. My gut just tells me otherwise.
Tatum O’Neal, 44, was arrested in New York last night after she was spotted handing a drug dealer cash in exchange for drugs.
O’Neal is no stranger to drug use, she’s admitted in the past to using cocaine and even heroin. However, in her 2004 memoir, A Paper Life, she claimed she had been clean since completing rehab in 1996.
O’Neal was arrested at 7:30 p.m. Sunday after trying to buy crack from a 33-year-old man, who was also arrested. Police found cocaine and crack on her, along with an unused crack pipe.
She spent the night in jail and has been charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Tatum begged police to let her go, “You know who I am, right?”, she said. She claimed to be doing research for a role, “I’m doing this for a part as a junkie.” Bitch has enough experience as a junkie, she doesn’t need to research!
Anyhow, after that tactic didn’t work she simply asked, “Can’t we just forget about this?”
Tatum’s mother, actress Joanna Moore, abandoned her when she was a kid. Her mother was also a well known drug abuser. She died in 1997 at the age of 63, from lung cancer.
The rumored videotape of Angelina Jolie smoking smack has finally surfaced and although the actress is not seen smoking the drug in the video, it’s apparent she is flying high.
Angelina, who is currently pregnant with twins, was filmed as she rambled on in a drug den. A woman next to her is seen smoking the junk. Angie is fidgety and bug-eyed and discusses all sorts of things with the people she’s drugging with. From sex to childhood pets.
The 7:43 long video was filmed in 1999 when Angie was 23. Angelina has never been one to deny her drug past, but surely she can’t be happy about the video’s release.
