Mel Gibson's Dependency On Drugs

Early Life

Mel Gibson, the stunningly handsome American-Australian Actor, was born in New York City in 1956. At the age of 12, he moved to Australia with his parents. Little did he know this would be one of the major turning points in his life which would bring him fame, success, and equal disgrace later!

Bloomingdale's apologizes for offensive holiday ad

What were the ad copy guys at Bloomingdale's thinking when they dropped this bomb that on the surface seems to promote date-rape! Yikes! (If you don't see this atrocity above click the read more link.)

Hey, Who's the Fat Guy in the Little Coat?

Chris Farley (1964-1997)

Chris Farley was an icon for those of us growing up in the time of grunge and Wayne and Garth. His self-deprecating style of humor was hilarious, though sometimes it made us cringe on the inside (who of us is willing to pull off dancing as a shirtless Chippendale male stripper next to the Patrick Swayze?).

Ryan Leaves Jail

Maybe Ryan Leaf is a name you haven't heard of. But Mr. Leaf has been having his fair share of problems in recent years. And now he's officially "out of jail!"

Austin Powers and Celebrity Big Brother star Verne Troyer says he'll be entering rehab for alcohol addiction.

Even if it costs him "one millllion dollars" it's worth it!

Emma Kenney at 18 is old enough to go into rehab!

Emma Kenney is the 18-year-old actress who currently stars in the Roseanne reboot as Harris Conner-Healy. What a big girl - and smart too. She figured out that substance abuse and hanging with the wrong crowd is a road to blowing up the career break of a lifetime. So good for her... into rehab she goes!

DMX Checks into Rehab (UPDATE! Again!!!)

First DMX blew off his fans by postponing a bunch of shows. Then he flew to California and checked into rehab. And of course it was all followed by the usual management apology to fans. This reads like the re-run of every drugged up rapper's life story. You'd think that at age 46 this guy would finally get it together. Nope... X that thought! And now he's at it again!
