Bobby Brown recovering from mild heart attack

Did you hear the news about Bobby Brown? He was hospitalized on Tuesday after having a mild heart attack.

His rep, Phaedra Parks, stated that he’s in great spirits and that he hopes to perform this weekend at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles. Hello … he just had a heart attack. Cancel the gig!

Bobby is only 40 years old! I wonder if all the partying and drugs like coke caught up with him.

On Tuesday afternoon Brown began to feel chest pains and he was rushed to the hospital. By Wednesday morning he apparently “has a great prognosis from his doctors” said his rep. He was even expected to be released later that day.

Brown is still going through divorce and custody proceedings with Whitney Houston, 44. Their next court date is scheduled for October, 22nd.

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.

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.

Courtney Love’s a Genius?

by Tricia

Courtney Love’s estranged father has made claims that the rocker has fooled the press into sympathizing with her cause because she is a genius with a super high IQ.

The pair is battling over Love’s claims Hank Harrison fed her drugs as a child – Harrison insisting her claims are lies intended to discredit him and his book about her and the death of her late husband, rocker Kurt Cobain.

Harrison says, “She’s smarter than you. She’s smarter than me too. She has a photographic memory and an IQ in the super genius category. Hard to believe, I know, but I tested her when she was five and again when she was 16. She’s also a drunk, just like my father, and I have all the scars and the DNA to prove it.”

Matt Lauer defends Tom Cruise

by Tricia

Today host Matt Lauer, who publicly sparred with Cruise last year over the use of anti-depressant drugs, has come to Tom Cruise’s defense Wednesday morning.

Lauer stated on his show that “Maybe he speaks out about Scientology and some people don’t like that, but what about the stars who are in and out of rehab every week? Is that any worse? And yet you find movie companies still in business with them.” Cruise, at the time of his argument with Lauer had called Lauer Glib.
