Tara Conner out of Rehab

tara_conner.jpgMiss USA Tara Conner is now saying that she’s an alcohol and since getting some treatment in rehab she’s “a completely different person, My life has completely changed,” she said Friday. “I’m a completely different person out of rehab. Before I entered rehab I hardly knew who I was. I felt like I was floating and I just needed someone to pull me down.”

Ok come on. One month of rehab doesn’t reform a person. Give me a break! I do hope for her sake that rehab helped but it takes a long time to change your habits.

The 21 year old Miss USA went into rehab in Pennsylvania on December 21st, coincidentally that was 3 days after she turned 21 and became eligable to drink legally. She spent a total of 31 days in rehab.

“I didn’t think I had any kind of issue going into rehab. I even said, ‘I’ll get some free therapy,’ or something like that – and that was so ridiculous,” says Conner. “But I’ve realized I do have an issue. I suffer from the disease of alcoholism and addiction. And if there’s anything that I want people to know it’s the severity of this disease and what it can do to people.”

You might remember that she almost lost her title of Miss USA after reports of her wild partying hit the news, but Donald Trump gave her a second chance.

Impaired Celebs

Word on the street is that Lindsay Lohan is on the wagon. Sad that she’s under age to legally drink in most States and she’s got a drinking problem isn’t it? She announced earlier this week that she’s been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a yar and hasn’t had a drink in weeks.

“We have learned that she has been in AA,” Szish said. “She’s trying to show us that at this point she’s trying as much as she can to be serious about it. Again, she’s 20 years old and it is something that’s simple steps. If she’s taking those steps, a week a great.”

Then there’s Nicole Ritchie and her DUI – “She was arrested for a DUI, not for alcohol, but reportedly for taking vicodin and a bit of marijuana,” Szish said. “She was driving her car home from a late movie, following her boyfriend and missed a turn and got on the wrong freeway entrance and her car was driving in the wrong direction and she got into trouble.”

She’s so lucky that she didn’t hit anyone. I hope she starts to take responsibility for her actions, you can’t take meds, illegal drugs or drink and drive. It’s just wrong.

Mel Gibson pleads no contest

Mel Gibson agreed to plea a deal following his drunk driving arrest and avoid spending time in jail.

The movie star’s lawyer confirmed that he hashed out a deal with prosecutors for the drunk driving case and now Gibson will be placed on probation for three years.

Gibson will be required to attend a full year of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings as per terms of the deal. He also must pay a fine of 1,200. Mel has volunteered to record a public service announcement on the hazards of driving while drunk and to enter a rehab facility right away.

Gibson had been found to had a blood alcohol level of 0.08 when he was arrested on July 28th after leaving Malibu bar Moonshadows, however the count of driving under the influence was dismissed as was a charge of driving with an open container of alcohol.
