AUTHOR: Dave Sypniewski DATE: Thursday, February 02, 2006 ----- BODY: The new year is off to a flying high start for the rich and famous...and that's no kidding around! Drugs, drugs, and more drugs followed by rehab and then a tour of the talk show circuit. Two more fallen stars are in the news this week. First up: George O' Dowd a.k.a Boy George. There's his photo. (when I first saw this photo, he looks an awful lot like Tom Hanks rehearsing for a new movie role...it really is Boy George though!) His trial is set to begin today because of his "alleged" posession of a few sandwich bags of cocaine. The story was that he was at home on his computer, thought someone was trying to break in, and called police. As it turns out, George wasn't thinking to clearly because when they arrived, he had the drugs on the table right in front of him. There was no burgler found. The only thing retrieved was George and his dope. He was given the choice of going to rehab, which he took instead of jail. Now his lawyer is singing a different tune for the ex- Culture Club singer saying that the drugs weren't his, and he's not hooked on anything. In the late 80's, one of the reasons for his group falling apart was his addiction to heroin. Things were going good until Rosie O' Donell cast him in her Broadway musical that didn't even survive a week. Maybe Tom Hanks should portray the guy in one of those Lifetime true story movies?!!! Enter Jodie Sweetin...Stephanie Tanner on TV's "Full House". The now 24 year old young lady is back on television this week discussing her battle with a longtime addiction to "crystal meth". Those wacky kids make dope out of anything now. That's why you need a driver's license, birth certificate, social security card, fingerprint, current mailing address, and signature on a waiver to buy a bottle of Vick's Formula 44 at Walgreen's nowadays! She told Good Morning America that she was bored when the show ended when she was 13 and had the money to experiment with using, so that's what got her started. I say, if I had to spend every single day of the week working with Bob Saget and Dave Courier's goofy impressions, I'd probably mess around with "meth" too! In the end however, Sweetin credits the old "Full House" gang including, those Olsen twins with an intervention that she credits as saving her life. Apparently, her police officer husband was unaware of her shennanigans and now a year later, she is clean and split with the guy. Good for her! A story like this will once again kick start her career! Maybe she can do one of those silly commercials like Roseanne does for Nick at Nite. After all, "Full House" is a regular staple on that channel. As a sidenote, I checked out the Cast of "Everbody Loves Raymond" having recognized the last name. The girl and the twin boys of "Ray" ...siblings in real life, have the same last name however, those kids spell their last name as "Sweeten". In other words, no relation. THAT'S the way I see things today! -------- Squealing Pig WORLDWIDE!: "Crazy Little Thing Called Drugs" AND "Nutri-Sweet 'n' Crystals"

"Crazy Little Thing Called Drugs" AND "Nutri-Sweet 'n' Crystals"

The new year is off to a flying high start for the rich and famous...and that's no kidding around! Drugs, drugs, and more drugs followed by rehab and then a tour of the talk show circuit.
