UPDATE-Lindsay Lohan Admits to Failing Drug Tests, Substance Abuse Via Twitter


The Lindsay Lohan case just took an unexpected twist.

Instead of thinking up a ridiculous excuse about how her energy drink contains elements of cocaine or something, Lohan actually admitted that she did indeed use drugs.

Lohan took to her twitter to tweet the follow:

Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result. Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future.This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I'm prepared to face the consequences I am so thankful for the support of my fans, loved ones and immediate family, who understand that i am trying hard, but also that I am a work in progress, just as anyone else. I am keeping my faith, and I am hopeful....Thank you all!!!


I am surprised by Lohan's words, but at the same time, skeptical. I think she may have only released this statement as a way to get on Judge Fox's good side and avoid further jail time. Also, Lohan may realize that this could put a set back on her whole "come back" thing, and she may be trying to salvage it by releasing this statement.

What do you think about Lohan's admittance to failing her drug test and substance abuse?

(200th Post!)Lindsay Lohan Fails Two Drug Tests, May Serve Up to 30 Days in Jail For Violating Probation


Multiple sources are confirming that Lindsay Lohan has failed at least two drug tests, one being issued as recently as last week. In one of the tests Lohan tested positive for Cocaine. It is not yet known what she tested postive for in the other drug test.

Lohan will face the court and her judge as soon as next week in regards to violating her probation. Her judge has warned her in the past not to violate her probation, and doing so could earn her up to 30 days back in jail. Now that she's violated her probation twice, she may be at risk for serving an even longer jail sentence.

Hopefully this time if she gets sentenced to prison she'll actually be there for at least half of her term! The first stint in jail/rehab obviously did nothing!

I wish I could say I'm suprised, but I'm really not. She barely served any time at all in jail or rehab, much less enough time to have "changed" or "transformed". Lohan was also seen partying it up at some clubs as recently as last week. She tried to remain unseen at the clubs, but I still highly doubt that no drugs or alcohol were consumed during these trips to the club.

What do you think about Lohan violating her probation again? Is anyone actually suprised? Do you think Lohan should go back to jail/rehab?

DJ AM's New Show to Air on MTV, Despite Recent Death


MTV has confirmed their plans to air the late DJ AM's drug intervention show.

MTV has acquired enough footage to air about 8 episodes centered around AM's constant struggle to beat his addiction to drugs.

MTV was a little weary of airing the show originally because they feared it would send out the wrong message to fans since AM later died of a drug overdose, but after discussing the matter with AM's family they concluded that it would be a good idea to show his fans how hard it was for him to beat his addiction and how deadly drugs really can be.

No word yet on when the show will air.

What do you think of DJ AM's show? Will you watch it? Do you find it to be contradictory, or do you think it will still hold a good, strong message?

DJ AM Found Dead in NYC Apartment


Famed American DJ, DJ AM was found dead in his NYC apartment early this evening.

Cops broke into his apartment and found his body after family and friends of the late DJ filed a missing person report due to concern that grew out of not hearing from the DJ for several days.

It is still not clear what he died from, but there has been strong evidence that he died from a drug overdose.

The cops found DJ AM lying face-down on his bed, surrounded by drugs and drug paraphernalia such as a crack pipe and several pills.

DJ AM previously battled a serious drug addiction. However, the DJ has been sober for quite some time and even helped his former girlfriend, Nicole Richie, to beat her addiction to narcotics. However, a case of post traumatic stress caused by the DJ's near death incident after a serious plane crash last September toppled with a recent breakup from his girlfriend, Haley Wood may have played a role in the DJ'S drug relapse.

DJ AM was one of the greatest DJ's of my time. He will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Billy Mays was a Druggie? Who Knew?


An official autopsy of the late infomercial actor, Billy Mays, was released today and the results are rather alarming.

While heart disease was still a primary cause of his death, there were also a series of drugs found in his system. Some of these drugs include cocaine, Oxycontin, Valium, and anti-anxiety medications. However, it has been reported that the results show that the drugs were consumed a few days before his death rather than right before his death. Heart disease was still the primary factor in his death, but the drugs definitely could have triggered his death.

Wow. I never saw Billy Mays as being someone to use drugs, especially not cocaine. It just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover...
