Amy Winehouse has Brain Damage

Posted on 02 September 2008 by ksouthall

A friend of Amy Winehouse claims that two massive overdoses caused seizures that have left the ‘Rehab’ singer brain damaged.  The friend described how 24-year-old Winehouse’s convulsions were so bad that they were “like a scene from The Exorcist,” and as her body became frail from the drugs, doctors were scared her bones would break during a convulsive fit.

The first overdose had taken place in August of last year, and it had been brought about by the singer’s use of cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth.

This chick knows how to party like a rockstar!

Amy was advised to see a psychiatrist after displaying “multiple personality traits” that could drive her to commit suicide.

Her second overdose in July was caused when she inhaled an “inhuman amount of hash,” which left her vomiting uncontrollably and hallucinating. This was the incident in which her dad Mitch, 54, said that it was a “bad reaction to her medication.”  I could tell it was a fishy story from the get go, but I am not one to be fooled very easily!

“The future is bleak, bleak, bleak,” the Sun quoted a friend of Winehouse. Mitch does everything he can to protect his daughter - but his ‘explanation’ for Amy’s hospital dash in July was just simply untrue. She had smoked an inhuman amount of hash which resulted in acute cannabis poisoning. You have to take a s***load of pot to suffer that severe a reaction. It’s thought she had been smoking it for 36 hours. Amy’s fits were as bad as the convulsions she had during her overdose in August last year. No one has mentioned her meth use before, but that stuff is truly nasty.”

The girl is nuts and has a death wish… a lethal combo.  Something needs to happen that will snap her out of it.  Obviously, she needs help, but if she has had two overdoses and is still not seeking intervention, then I don’t know what else would get that fire lit under her butt!  What do you think will be the bottom line?  Or, will we all just watch her slowly decline into oblivion??

How Amy used to be.

How Amy used to be.

So much talent… it’s such a shame.  Snap out of it Amy!

The New Hollywood Diet Trend?

Posted on 01 August 2008 by xXxTerra

Probiotics… you know you’ve heard the name somewhere before; most likely a yogurt commercial. Probiotics are ‘live’ bacteria… I know, ew, but they are actually ‘good’ bacteria that help digestion and fight against yeast infections (ew, again).

It seems that it is becoming the next new health fad among celebrities, including Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, Mary J. Blige, and others. Since discovering her son Evan had autism in 2004, McCarthy has been a major advocate for autism research and nutritional regimens to help manage the disease.

She’s become very knowledgeable about healthy eating to boost the body’s immunity naturally. She and her son (I’m sure Jim can’t avoid it) are on a diet free of wheat and dairy, and each are on daily probiotics.

She obviously believes in their health benefits: “Everyone should always be on a probiotic every day of their life, especially if they are doing an antibiotic,” says McCarthy.

McCarthy noticed a vast improvement in her son’s condition since she started giving him probiotics: “He started speaking. Words were coming out… Now, he says, ‘I love you mommy.’ And squeezes, hugs and kisses.”

Tina Fey, Blair Underwood and Kevin Dillon all give their kids probiotics, too.

Well, at least this is finally a diet trend that is about feeding your body more nutrition than taking it away. Hollywood’s full of meek looking actors. Keira Knightley looks like a cold could kill her. Then again, how beneficial can probiotics be for celebs if there’s nothing to digest??

Malin Akerman’s PSA on Skin Cancer

Posted on 24 June 2008 by Divalicious

Malin AkermanCelebrity Malin Akerman, who recently starred in The Heartbreak Kid and 27 Dresses, appears in the PSA for Neutrogena Partnership for Skin Health. In the PSA, Akerman gets close with her on-camera beau as he checks her skin and finds something a little unexpected – an irregular shaped mole.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, but early detection with a skin cancer exam can save lives.

Knowing your skin, its moles, marks and freckles is the first step in early detection.

A tan is something that we all strive for when the summer comes. It’s always a good reminder to stay healthy as well as beautiful.
