Vanessa Baker — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:11:21 +0000

Redmond O’Neal, son of Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, was sentenced by a judge Friday to one year in a residential drug treatment program, reports Perez Hilton. He was charged with bringing heroin into a jail facility, to which he pleaded no contest.

If O’Neal, 24, violates his probation in any way, he could face up to six years in prison.

His mother, a former Charlie’s Angels star, died June 25 at the age of 62 after a battle with cancer.

Britney: 1, K-Fed: 0

Emma Renda — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:20:17 +0000

The scales in the Britney-K-Fed world are perpetually skewed. One is doomed to be crazy or in rehab or bald while the other is acting the model parent for the paparazzi. It’s like a law of physics or something.

So, just as Spears began to clean up her act, Federline took a very public plunge into the depths of obesity, baring his flabby chest for the paparazzi at a pool in Miami on Saturday.

The photos available on JustJared.com, among other gossip websites, are disturbing at best, but they also beg the question as to how he can hang on to volleyball player girlfriend Victoria Prince. And obviously, how he snagged Spears in the first place?

Spears, these days, is looking better than ever. She has lost her rehab/baby-bearing weight, and seems to have her hair under control at last. She has been spending a lot of quality time with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, including taking them on vacation in Miami with her parents, and her sister, Jamie-Lynn and her daughter Maddie Briann.

The holiday is a time-out from Britney’s Circus tour that has been going worldwide all summer. She has also released a teaser in advance of the MTV VMAs on Sept. 13 with host and comedian Russel Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

The video is just one of many celebrity commercials for the VMAs, as Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Leighton Meester have also released their own themed shorts in preparation for the awards show.

Judge Sends Coolio To Rehab

Vanessa Baker — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:29:40 +0000

Rapper-turned-reality-TV-star, Coolio, agreed to serve an 18-month stint in rehab to avoid jail time.

According to Perez Hilton, he was arrested on March 6 for possession of crack cocaine at Los Angeles International Airport, and pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession on Friday.

He was also charged with misdemeanour counts of battery and possession of drug paraphernalia after an encounter with airport security on the same day. Coolio faced up to three years in jail if convicted, but changed his previous not guilty plea when the charges of battery and possession of a smoking device were dropped.

If he successfully completes the drug rehabilitation program ordered by the judge, the rapper may request his case be dismissed.

Coolio, best-known for his 1995 single “Gangsta’s Paradise,” was also arrested last June for traffic violation charges and having an outstanding warrant.

The rapper will be back in court for a report on his progress in rehab on September 28.

Fielder-Civil Will Go Back To Jail While Winehouse Remains In Hospital

Blake Fielder-Civil, singer Amy Winehouse’s husband, was ordered back to prison for violating the terms of his release according to E! Online.

Fielder-Civil, 26, had agreed to check into rehab right away and spend a month receiving treatment for his drug addiction as part of his early release deal.

Britain’s Sun newspaper reported Fielder-Civil is being sent back to prison after refusing a drug test, meaning he will have to serve the rest of his 27-month sentence for assaulting a barkeep and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Winehouse’s hubby would therefore be in prison until early 2010.

Meanwhile, Winehouse remains in a London hospital since November 23. The Grammy-winning singer is recovering from an allergic reaction to her medication.

It has been widely reported that Winehouse has consulted with divorce attorneys, but the singer’s rep has denied she is seeking to end her marriage with Fielder-Civil.

Unlike Amy Winehouse, Heather Locklear said “yes” to rehab.

Heather Locklear has checked out of an Arizona rehab facility after four weeks, reports E! News.

The star of “Melrose Place” had been receiving treatment for anxiety and depression. The actress was reunited with her 10-year-old daughter, Ava, who had been in the care of father, Richie Sambora, while the actress was in rehab.

“Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression,” said Cece York, Locklear’s spokesperson, at the time of Locklear’s admission. “She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment.”

Before being admitted, paramedics were called to Locklear’s home by her psychiatrist in March, worried that she would overdose on prescription pills. It has been reported Locklear was not in a distressed state at the time of the 911 call.

Rehab isn’t just trendy. Occasionally it’s necessary, especially for Dennis Rodman.

Days after being arrested for domestic battery, Rodman has checked into an outpatient rehab facility, People magazine has learned.

According to Rodman’s manager, “[Rodman's] life has not been going smoothly for the last few months since his divorce. He has not been able to see his kids. And he has been drinking too much.”

Rodman was arrested in a Los Angeles Hotel last Wednesday, after police received reports that he had abused a woman. The woman sustained injuries to her arms. Rodman is expected in court May 22 after posting $50,000 bail.

Lindsay’s Ex Says She’s A Nympho

Lindsay Lohan may have broken up with her rehab boyfriend, Riley Giles, but that doesn’t mean she can get rid of him.

Giles is taking his relationship with Lohan straight to the bank, telling all to British tabloid News of the World. According to him, Lohan is addicted to sex and used it as a replacement for drugs. “Lindsay’s definitely a nymphomaniac,” he said. “She’s wild in bed. We’d have sex a couple of times in the day and then go to it through the night. We once did it four times in a row straight. That was crazy. Lindsay was insatiable. She’d demand sex again and again. We’d go at it for hours.”

Lohan and Giles locked themselves in a cabin near their rehab facility shortly after completing treatment. But once Lohan moved back to Hollywood, she also moved on to other men.

Marie Osmond announced yesterday that her 16-year-old son has entered rehab.

As she told ET, “My son Michael is an amazing young man, shown through his courage in facing his issues. As his mother, I couldn’t be more proud of him. The press and public has always been kind and gracious in the past and I know they will continue to respect our privacy during this time.”

What he has entered rehab for was not discussed.

This is certainly a difficult time for the Osmond family, as Marie’s father died last Tuesday.
