Angelina Jolie Slept With Mother’s Boyfriend

According to celebrity biographer, Andrew Morton, actress Angelina Jolie, slept with her mother’s boyfriend, when she was a minor of 16-years old. Morton is researching Jolie for a book he is writing on her life. His past exposes have been quite revealing.

The actress, who is currently, 34, has yet to respond to the salacious story. Jolie has a troubled past, replete with lesbianism, cutting, heavy drug abuse, alcoholism, the occult, mental illness and a bad relationship with her dad, due to his adulterous on-set affair that resulted in divorce.

However, if these allegations are true, Jolie, would be in no position to past judgment on her dad.

Posted on Oct 27, 2009 @ 08:45AM - Actress Angelina Jolie bedded her mother's boyfriend when she was just 16, according to a bombshell new biography penned by controversial writer Andrew Morton.

According to Now magazine, Jolie and her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, could not come to terms with each other after the Oscar winning star confessed to the act, and they struggled to repair their damaged relationship.

"Marcheline had a live-in boyfriend whom she was very much in love with, but Ange slept with him when she was 16 and barely out of school," a source told the magazine. "Her mother found out and ended her relationship with the man."...

Lil Wayne Facing 1-Year In Prison

Lil men usually don't fare too well in prison

Atheist rapper Lil Wayne has been sentenced to 1-year in prison on illegal gun possession charges. He pled guilty today in a New York court. This is not the rapper's first brush with the law, as he was previously arrested for drug possession.

It's time for Lil Wayne to shed that dangerous lifestyle he glorifies in his music and attempts to live out in his personal life, as he has children and more on the way. It's difficult to be a dad when you are in prison.

Forsaking the Bible for the dictionary, as you claim, was also unwise, as the dictionary can't save you, but Jesus can.

Lil Wayne pleads to attempted gun possession

NEW YORK — Lil Wayne, who owned last year's best-selling album and is currently No. 1 on the pop charts, pleaded guilty to attempted weapon possession on Thursday, and expects to receive a one-year jail sentence.

The performer, arguably rap's most popular artist and one of pop's biggest acts, previously had pleaded not guilty to illegal gun possession charges that carried at least 3 1/2 years in jail upon conviction. He remains free on bail while awaiting his February sentencing...

Lindsay Lohan Refusing Rehab

Lindsay Lohan

Michael Lohan, the dad of drug abusing, one time actress, Lindsay Lohan, has been fighting to get her in rehab, with the ungrateful wretch trying to file a restraining order against him.

If the press would stop giving Lohan coverage for acting like a complete mess, the lack of attention would aid in her cleaning up her sordid act.

As long as she feels it is acceptable in the press to behave in an uncivilized, unlawful, drugged up manner, she will continue and no doubt end up in an early, drug fueled grave.

She belongs in rehab, as one of these days she is going to miscalculate and overdose.

Lindsay Lohan fears father may kidnap her

Mon., Oct . 19, 2009 - Embattled actress Lindsay Lohan allegedly lives in fear of just how far her father is willing to go to save her.

It seems Michael Lohan was inspired by the turnaround Britney Spears experienced under her father’s conservatorship and hoped a similar arrangement could work for his own daughter. But the senior Lohan may have taken his concern a step too far when he offered to act the part of a well-intentioned abductor if the courts wouldn’t cooperate.

“If I can’t get a conservatorship, then I’m going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight,” Michael Lohan told X17Online. “But I know I’m going to get charged with kidnapping.”

Not if Lindsay Lohan gets her way. According to Radar Online, LiLo plans to file a restraining order to keep her estranged dad far outside of kidnapping range...

Bobby Brown Speaks About Using Cocaine

In watching a video of R&B crooner, Bobby Brown, discussing his wife, Whitney Houston and her interview with talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, I am once again reminded of the speech impediment they both have now and can't help but think it is due to drug use.

When both singers speak, there is now a slight lisp and slurred speech, their faces are somewhat twisted and their tongues dip downward in a lethargic manner. One would think they had some bad drugs that led to a damaging stroke, seizure or nerve issue. What happened to them, as they were not like this before.

Maia Campbell's Fall From Grace

Maia Campbell Beautiful actress Maia Campbell, famous for her work on television shows such as "In The House" with LL Cool J "South Central" with Larenz Tate and "Sister, Sister" with the Mowery Twins, took a terrible fall from grace that is inappropriately being mocked by some on the internet, who are calling her names. The videos and photos online, show a crack-cocaine addicted Campbell, prostituting herself for money and drugs, whilst cursing at a cruel man filming her in a deteriorated mental state. "In The House" cast (Maia Campbell sits to the right in photo) Campbell was known for her good looks and dated famous men such as singer/actor Tyrese Gibson. Hollywood is also known for its cults and drug use. Hanging around with a certain Hollywood set was very detrimental to her and Campbell fell into the type of drug use that often plagues young stars. Campbell took a lot of drugs, it triggered the nerve center and began depleting her brain (cells). This drug abuse has now caused mental illness in the one-time star. She does not even seem to know who she is anymore, exhibiting signs of schizophrenia. No matter what they tell you drugs are horrible. Anything that can take a beautiful, vital person and turn them into a shell of their former self is dangerous and destructive. Instead of mocking her, why don't you pray for her.

Singers, Take Care Of Your Voices

Whitney Houston on Good Morning America

Recently, I wrote about the depletion of singer Mariah Carey's voice and asked why Whitney Houston, who did a significant amount of illicit drugs, still sings better than Carey does, in spite of her narcotics usage.

Over the last week, Houston did a series of performances to support her new CD and the wear and tear on her voice, from years of drug abuse showed.

Actually, it was evident on the record and a song she released last year, as Houston now sounds like she is in a silo of some sort. It is due to poor production on the new album and years of drug abuse. However, her vocals were still strong and she can still sing.

Whitney Houston in the 80s

British pop singer, George Michael, one of the biggest voices of the 1980's, had a similar problem, where it was reported, doctors informed him, the cocaine use was burning his vocal cords to a crisp.

A still from George Michael's "Careless Whisper" video

Michael, who had found success as a soulful pop singer and songwriter, penning such megahits as "Careless Whisper" and "Faith" did not take the news well.

Celine Dion

Other singers, such as Celine Dion, had vocal trouble as well. The Canadian singer, enjoyed a massive string of hits, but something went wrong on stage one day and her voice disappeared. Scary. Her physician instructed her not to speak for two weeks and her voice came back.

I just realized something, all of the above mentioned singers are Sony artists (Carey spent most of her career on Sony).

Mariah Carey in the early 1990s

For years, since her voice began going south, Carey has obsessively filled hotel rooms with humidifiers, which is clearly a bid at saving her voice.

Mariah Carey trying to relive her old look from the beginning of her career

On the track "Like That" Carey brags about smoking marijuana stating, "Purple taking me higher" which was slang for getting high on weed. Drug use is not of help to her struggling voice.

Vocal changes sometimes happen, due to aging and at times, freak occurrences, but there's no need to speed it along with drug use.

In short, singers need to take care of their voices and not take it for granted. What you put into your body does have an effect. That goes for narcotics and cigarette smoking.

Kabbalah DJ Found Dead

DJ AM (photo credit: New York Times)

Kabbalah member, DJ AM, was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday. DJ AM, real name, Adam Goldstein, survived a plane crash last year that killed four people.

A friend went to check on him, after not hearing from Goldstein for a few days. When he received no response from knocking on his door, his friend called the police.

DJ AM's apartment (photo credit: Radar Online)

The police then contacted the fire department, requesting they breakdown his apartment door. Goldstein was found dead, laying face down in bed. A crackpipe and prescription medication were found in his apartment.

In the weeks before his passing, Goldstein began work on an MTV special aimed at cleaning up drug addicts. He professed he was 9-years sober, but clearly relapsed.

Side Bar: didn't the site just go over this two days ago, with the death of Kabbalah member Michael Jackson, warning that another Kabbalah member, Britney Spears, engaging in similarly reckless conduct, is eligible for an overdose. Not to mention the Heath Ledger article last year. Celebrities often fail to learn from others mistakes.

Side Bar #2: As a poster on TMZ's feedback section noted last night, thus far, this summer alone, there have been a number of celebrity deaths: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Jasmine Fiore, Oscar Mayer Jr, John Hughes, Eunice Shriver, Ted Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, Steve McNair, David Carridine, Dominique Dunne, Karl Malden, Gale Storm, Sky Saxon and Fred Travalena.

DJ AM, Star Disc Jockey, Found Dead

Published: August 28, 2009 - DJ AM, a high-profile disc jockey who was as famous for his much-chronicled relationships as he was for his creative scratching and mixing on the celebrity club circuit, was found dead on Friday evening in his apartment in Manhattan, the police said.

The police said his body was found in his seventh-floor apartment in SoHo about 5:30 p.m. after friends had tried unsuccessfully to reach him for days. The chief police spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police did not suspect foul play.

DJ AM, 36, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was discovered face-down in his bed wearing only sweatpants, with a crack pipe and unspecified prescription drugs nearby, an official said.

Emergency workers had to break down the door to get in after one of the friends who had been trying to reach Mr. Goldstein called 911 on Friday.

In an interview with The New York Times in 2007, Mr. Goldstein said he drank heavily, used cocaine and smoked crack in his early 20s, reaching his lowest point when he attempted suicide in 1997. But he also said he had cleaned up his life — including having gastric bypass surgery after his weight ballooned to 324 pounds — and had managed to stay sober for nine years...

In October, The Associated Press reported, MTV was to begin his new reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers...

Marijuana And Tar Heroin Found In Michael Jackson Home

Michael Jackson

Marijuana, Tar Heroin and bleaching cream, in addition to vast quantities of prescription meds, were found in the room of deceased pop star, Michael Jackson. This explains so much. In many of Michael's interviews, he often looked way too mellow, like he was moving in slow motion. I did wonder if he dabbled in narcotics, but it really didn't seem appropriate to write it, but since the cat's out the bag...

The sheer number of prescription meds he was taking, illustrated his addiction and that he was looking for relief and escape from something troubling him.

Dr. Conrad Murray, one of the physicians that overmedicated Michael at his request

His name was so sullied in the press, due to the child molestation accusations, which I didn't believe, but some did and really tore him to pieces in the press over it. That had to have destroyed him emotionally and I think drugs was his way of making the pain seem distant each day. It is clear, he could not deal with being Michael Jackson, anymore.

Sadly, it claimed his life, as the coroner's report released today, officially ruled his tragic death a homocide, due to "acute Propofol intoxication." It also states multiple sedatives played a contributory effect. In short, Propofol is dangerous outside of a hospital setting and mixing prescriptions meds, can lead to an overdose.

Britney Spears

Side Bar: Britney Spears springs to mind in this case as she was placed on a number of anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic prescription medications and considering she loves to drink, you have to wonder about the lack of wisdom behind it...

Michael Jackson Coroner Report -- HOMICIDE

Posted Aug 28th 2009 2:34PM - The L.A. County Coroner has just officially announced the cause of Michael Jackson's death -- Acute Propofol intoxication.

The report says "other conditions contributing to death: Benzodiazepine effect." Benzodiazepines are a group of drugs (see below) used to treat anxiety and insomnia.

The manner of death is ruled: "HOMICIDE." The Coroner did not release the full autopsy report -- just a press notice. It goes on:

The drugs PROPOFOL and LORAZEPAM (Ativan) were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death.

Other drugs detected were: Midazolam (Versed), Diazepam (Valium), Lidocaine (topical anesthetic) and Ephedrine (used to treat hypotension associated with anesthesia)...

UPDATED: Unsealed Michael Jackson Search Warrants Reveal Drugs At Home

FIRST PUBLISHED: August 27, 2009 6:23 PM EDT - Search warrants in the Michael Jackson death investigation, which were unsealed on Thursday, have revealed that drugs including marijuana and a host of prescriptions were found at the late singer’s rented Los Angeles home.

According to the released documents, authorities recovered two different portions of marijuana, one weighing 14.89 gg and another weighing 11.40 gg, both in bags.

It was not clear where in the home the other items were uncovered.

Other items recovered according to the property report included pill bottles containing Temazepan, which according to drugs.com, can be prescribed for sleeplessness; a tube containing Benoquin ointment – a prescription generally used to treat Vitiligo; a bottle containing Valisone ointment, which can be used for skin problems; a box of Nystatin, an anti-fungal medication, and Triamcinolone ointment – a steroid for inflammation, allergic disorders and skin conditions, and vials of Latanoprost, which is aimed at reducing pressure in the eye...

Michael Jackson Employees Seek To Speak Out

Michael Jackson

According to published reports, employees of the late singer, Michael Jackson, wish to speak out, regarding what they saw the day he died.

Jackson's doctors' stories do not add up and the police are being lied to as they attempt to piece together what transpired on the day of his death.

Anyone that disputes the premise, several sedatives and Propofol, administered hours apart, within a 12 hour period, is deadly, is very naive or seeking to excuse very poor conduct.

Dr. Murray wouldn't have ingested all the drugs he gave Michael, in what amounts to half a day. Dr. Klein wouldn't have ingested all the drugs he was giving Michael for years, to feed his addiction. They took massive risks with Jackson's life, in open contradiction to the Hippocratic Oath and federal and state statutes.

If one is going to overmedicate patients to such extremes, one is just as dangerous as a drug pusher on the corner, selling illegal narcotics. When the end result is the same, a deadly overdose, how different are you from the drug dealer.

When you have to hide in secret to obtain copious amounts of controlled substances, prescription meds, use fake names and bypass state and federal law to obtain it, how is that much different from a drug dealer bringing in illegal shipments of narcotics? Because you have a medical degree and the drug dealer doesn't, you are somehow better?

Jackson's doctors that violated the law, wanted the money to maintain their lavish lifestyles. Now, his doctors need to face the music, pardon the pun, like men and accept the legal consequences of their misconduct.

It is better to be a physician in a clinic earning less wages, than a doctor making big money off unlawfully drugging up a pop star with prescription meds.

What honor is there in making someone sick, when you are supposed to be a doctor curing them. That's an oxymoron.

Jackson Employees Want to Speak Out Regarding Singer’s Death

8/26/09, 10:06 am EST - Two employees of Michael Jackson who were present in the singer’s home on June 25th want to help investigators piece together the events leading up to the star’s death. Michael Amir, Jackson’s personal assistant, and Alberto Alvarez, a security guard who reportedly placed the 911 call demanding an ambulance, had brief informal talks with police the day Jackson died, but their lawyer Carl Douglas says the two men can shed new light on the June 25th timeline, the Los Angeles Times reports.

For instance, at 12:13 p.m. on June 25th, Amir received a panicked four-second message from Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, that essentially said, “Come quick.” Nine minutes later, paramedics were called to Jackson’s home. Douglas said both of his clients are eager to share more information with authorities but have so far been stonewalled. However, Douglas wouldn’t elaborate on what other information his clients might tell authorities.

“We arranged two separate occasions for LAPD investigators to meet with my clients. My clients came early wearing suits and ties. The first meeting was canceled and rescheduled. The second meeting I had to call them to inquire about the [detectives’] absence,” Douglas told the LAT...

Propofol Killed Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson

Lethal doses of the drug Propofol, killed singer Michael Jackson, when it was improperly dispensed outside of a hospital setting, without the expertise of an anesthesia technician.

In a practice this Column has slammed in the past, Jackson was given Propofol and a host of other sedatives, hours apart. It is very difficult for the human body to survive such toxicity, when so many elements of potent drug compositions, besiege the bloodstream and cells.

The day he died, Jackson repeatedly complained of insomnia, demanding more and more sedatives. It is clear, the issues that plagued him, creating the sleeplessness, were not properly addressed by the right psychologists and physicians.

There is no necessity to ever medicate a patient to the extremes Jackson was treated. It was very unwise to believe someone's system could survive that chemical onslaught.

Jackson's last doctors, Dr. Conrad Murray and Dr. Arnold Klein are under active investigation, with a stream of misconduct by the two, continually being uncovered. Dr. Murray is facing the greatest scrutiny, as the physician that administered the fatal dose.

The two men should not be medical doctors under the circumstances, as the mere fact they thought this was an appropriate course of treatment, to appease a pop star that wanted what he should not have, says their judgment is very poor and it poses a risk to the general public.

Pharmaceutical drugs are not candy, to be gobbled up, with the most you will take away from it being a belly ache and cavities. There is an exact science to it and I can't fathom how men that went to medical school did not know better. In short, it was reckless.

Their conduct is the scientific equivalent of a scientist taking home batches of controlled nuclear substances to play around with in their kitchen. You just don't do that, as the risks are too great and deadly.

AP Source: Coroner rules Jackson's death homicide

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide and a combination of drugs was the cause, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died...

Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson's personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.

A search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston includes a detailed account of what Murray told investigators.

According to the document, Murray said he'd been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip. But he said he feared Jackson was forming an addiction to the anesthetic, which is normally used in hospitals only, and was attempting to wean his patient by lowering the dose to 25 milligrams and adding the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam...

Then around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tab of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2 a.m., two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. respectively. But they didn't work.

Murray told detectives that around 10:40 a.m. he gave in to Jackson's "repeated demands/requests" for propofol, which the singer referred to as his "milk." He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid, — a relatively small dose — and finally, Jackson fell asleep.

Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom. No more than two minutes later, he returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing.

"There's no surprise there" that death could result from such a combination, said Dr. David Zvara, anesthesia chairman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

"All those drugs act in synergy with each other," Zvara said. Adding propofol on top of all the other sedatives "tipped the balance."

Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death, the official told the AP.

When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly emaciated, and his body had bed sores, the official said. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed...

Cantrell said it's perplexing that someone would give various benzodiazepines if one was found not to be effective.

"This is horrible polypharmacy," he said, referring to the interaction between the various drugs. "No one will treat an insomniac like this."...

Brad Pitt Is A Weed Smoking Liar

Brad Pitt has been caught in a lie, outed by none other than his buddy, director Quentin Tarantino, for stating he gave up smoking marijuana when he had kids. Tarantino stated this week, Pitt recently offered to split a block of weed with him.

Three months ago in this Column, I wrote about his partner Angelina Jolie, still grappling with illegal drug cravings (hint hint), after having abused her body and mind, with various narcotics for years.

While, I’m not fan of the Jolie Pitts, here’s hoping they kick the addiction for the sake of their six children, as being raised by unreformed addicts is destructive.

Brad Pitt 'still smokes pot' says Quentin Tarantino

19/08/2009 - The Hollywood star - who could apparently roll a spliff better than Bob Marley - insisted he had given up his herbal habit when he became dad to Angelina Jolie's brood.

He said of his spliff-rolling skills at the time: "I'm an artist at it, what can I say. But I'm a dad now, you have to be alert." However, after telling the lovely Ange he had put his pot-smoking days behind him, bad Brad's pal Quentin Tarantino went and grassed him up.

The director went on Howard Stern's radio show to reveal Brad offered him drugs during a meeting for his Inglorious Basterds film.

He told the American shock jock how Brad "pulled out a brick of hash" during their meeting to discuss the film at his French home.

Then when Brad passed him an empty can of coke to use as a pipe to smoke the weed, the Pulp Fiction legend said: "Yeah, I know what to do with this."

Ange will not be Jolie pleased...

Both Elvis And Michael Jackson...

Died Of Drug Overdoses That Included Demerol

Michael Jackson

There are similarities between Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, two pop singers that died of prescription medication drug overdoses during summer months.

Elvis died August 16, 1977 and Michael died June 25, 2009. Both men died at home with several prescription meds in their system - including Demerol.

Elvis Presley

Elvis, like Michael, aging and depressed, was also worried about a career comeback. Elvis like Michael, also suffered from terrible insomnia.

Restless minds find it hard to sleep with career pressures mounting. It is a common thread among celebrities.

Elvis Presley's Death: Anniversary Spotlights Similarities With Michael Jackson

Aug. 16, 2009 - ...Elvis Presley died Aug. 16, 1977. As fans commemorate the anniversary of his death, many see similarities with the recent drug overdose of Michael Jackson.

Opening the door, she found the man who seven months earlier had proposed marriage dead from an overdose -- Elvis Presley.

It was just after 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 16, 1977. The book that Elvis had taken into the bathroom four hours earlier, "The Scientific Search for the Face of Jesus," lay opened at his feet. He was 42.

By 4:30 that afternoon, Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, stood on the steps of the singer's Memphis mansion, Graceland, and told the world: "My son is dead." ...

The anniversary of Elvis' death comes as the world continues to mourn his pop music successor, Michael Jackson.

For decades, comparisons have been made between Elvis -- the so-called King of Rock -- and Jackson -- the self-anointed King of Pop. And now their deaths share eerie similarities.

Both Jackson and Elvis' lives unfurled with similar progression. Born into working-class families, they were musical innovators whose success bridged cultures and generations, and whose fame made them prisoners in their own homes.

But their deaths have an even eerier congruence. With their best days behind them, each planned a concert tour to redefine their legacies. Before getting the chance, however, they each died quietly in their gilded cages from an overdose of powerful prescription drugs.

Elvis, similarly took a dangerous combination of drugs he called "packets." Following Elvis' death, coroners found in his body traces of the painkillers morphine and Demerol; the tranquilizers Placidyl and valium; quaaludes; codeine and an unknown barbiturate.

..."There is a culture of drug use in the celebrity world. It is essentially a permissive and validating culture," Fischoff said...

"Jackson's face had deteriorated and Elvis had gained a tremendous amount of weight. It all showed on their faces and their bodies. They had deal with aging, loss of beauty and waning talent. They found solace in drugs, but they could not live that way," he said.

The two men, of course, shared something else in common. Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was married to Michael Jackson from 1994 to 1996.

Actress Arrested For Drug Dealing

Holly McGuire

First Harry Potter star, James Waylett, then actor Cameron Douglas and now actress Holly McGuire, has been caught selling drugs.

It is clear some celebrities get caught up living an extravagant lifestyle and when funds run low, resort to illegal activity to maintain the life they had become accustomed to, which is regrettable.

Killer Ratings

Most television shows want killer ratings. Some television shows want that literally...by killing the competition. A former policeman in Brazil, turned TV show host, Wallace Souza, is being accused of ordering the murder of a rival set.

He runs a law enforcement styled show and allegedly ordered the murders of five rival drug traffickers, sending his film crews to the crime scenes first, to boost ratings. His son has also been indicted on the same charges.

Brazil TV host 'ordered killings'

Details of the accusations against Wallace Souza

Police have accused a TV presenter in Brazil of being involved in organised drug trafficking and ordering killings to get rid of rivals and boost ratings.

Wallace Souza, who is also a state legislator, says the claims are an attempt by rivals to smear him and that there is no evidence to back them.

But the police say he ordered killings in the state of Amazonas and alerted TV crews to get them to the scene first. The TV show was halted late last year as police stepped up their inquiry.

If what the police say is true, then this is the TV show that not only reported crime, but was actually behind it as well...

The authorities believe that Mr Souza commissioned at least five murders in order to get rid of drug trafficking rivals and to boost his programme ratings...

Wallace Souza faces a variety of charges, including drug trafficking and weapons possession, but remains free because for the moment his political role gives him immunity...

Lawyers for Wallace Souza, a former policeman who was expelled from the force, say the accusations are an attempt to smear him and that there is not one piece of material proof to back the police claims.

Michael Douglas' Son Charged As Drug Dealer

The United States Drug Enforcement Agency, has arrested and indicted Hollywood actor, Cameron Douglas, the son of wealthy veteran actor, Michael Douglas, the star of such films as "Wall Street" for dealing in large quantities of crystal meth. He is accused of selling many pounds of the drug and as such, he is now facing a decade in prison if convicted.

True to federal form, the DEA was silently watching Cameron Douglas for years (three), quietly conducting an investigation, moving in on him this week, with criminal charges that came as a surprise to many.

Many of you are probably wondering, why the son of a rich actor would become a drug dealer. Maybe his dad cut him off financially, not wanting to support his habit and it mushroomed into something else, drug dealing.
