Echo Malibu helps troubled adolescents

Is it just me or are there more youths out there with drug, alcohol and behavioral problems than there was in the past? Perhaps we are just hearing about it more these days because troubled parents are more open about problems going on in their home, and the affected adolescents don’t always hide their drug and alcohol use.

If you are the parent of a child with drug, alcohol or behavioral problems and you’d like to try to help your child you might be interested in visiting the Echo Malibu website. They have an adolescent treatment program, and they’ve helped many youths with their unique and positive approach.

After reading through the website it sounds as if they not only treat the affected youth but also keep in mind that the whole family is involved with the adolescents treatment and that the family has also been affected by what’s happened in the past and by their decision to seek the help of the Echo Malibu treatment center.

The clinic staff is well educated and as they work with the adolescents in their care they listen to them and attempt to work with them so that they can enjoy life again without drugs or alcohol. It can be done. If your child is in trouble please look at the Echo Malibu site and see what they have to offer.

Serrano used industrial grade silicone in his anti-wrinkle injections

This is going to cause a wrinkle in the lives of a few wealthy Beverly Hills residents lives. An Argentinian doctor who once used the homes of the wealthy to inject clients with an illicit anti-wrinkle chemical has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison.

Daniel Tomas Fuente Serrano was sentenced to two years in prison. Prosecutors for the case say he gave the illegal injections at various places, including parties, where up to 30 wealthy clients sipped cocktails and were injected with silicone smuggled into the U.S. Oh great and injection party. Is that what they do in Hollywood? Clients of Serranos are said to have included Lionel Richie, Richies ex-wife Diane and Shawn King, the wife of CNN talk show host Larry King.

Serrano charged his clients thousands of dollars for the injections, yet he wasn’t licensed to practice medicine in the United States. The injections consisted of industrial grade silicone used to lubricate auto parts, as well as medical grade silicone which is often used for eye surgeries but has not been approved for the treatment of wrinkles.

Serrano admitted to having given illegal injections from 2001 until November of 2004, earning more than 1.6 million US. Last year he plead guilty to several counts including conspiracy and the receipt of illegally imported merchandise.

It’s not surprising that some of Serrano’s clients have reported that they’ve developed problems after the injections. Diane Richie has been charged with aiding and abetting Serrano.

Mariah Carey donates Fur to Charity and causes uproar

Mariah Carey donated a $7,500 fur coat to help Mongolia’s poor, but the coat has disappeared and animal rights activists are upset.

The coat was donated by Carey to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which told Reuters it had since been lost on its way to Mongolia, where it was to be given to nomads to help them keep warm in the winter. Each year, PETA distributes hundreds of cast-off furs to help clothe the homeless and refugees.

In Mongolia, PETA hires impoverished women to cut donated fur coats into narrow strips. The strips are then handed over to nomad families who use them to make the inner linings of their traditional winter coats.

Carey, 36, whose commercial success has not translated into awards show acclaim, was snubbed at the American Music Awards on Tuesday, despite scoring three nominations.
