Daniel Radcliffe “categorically” denied he smoked cannabis at a London party.
The Harry Potter star was reported to have allegedly smoked cannabis at a hip north London party with the publication of photographs by the city’s Daily Mirror newspaper.
A spokeswoman for Radcliffe, 20, said: “Daniel does smoke the occasional roll-up cigarette, but he was not doing anything more than this.
“We categorically deny the allegations regarding Daniel Radcliffe published in today’s Daily Mirror. We are considering our position and will be taking all necessary action in relation to such allegations.”
The Mirror, meanwhile, said: “While many were shocked by the Mirror’s photos – in which Daniel was also seen giggling as a female friend scribbled a comedy beard on to his face – hundreds leapt to the star’s defence. One warned: ‘If he loves weed let’s hope it loves him back and he doesn’t end up with drug-induced psychosis.’”
In her first interview since the death of her son Michael Jackson, Katherine Jackson fought back against rumors pertaining to her husband Joe Jackson’s relationship with their grandchildren. On Geraldo at Large, the late singer’s mother said “I don’t know why they’re saying he’s not being allowed in the house. My husband’s never done nothing of the sort that they trying to say he did 39 years ago. I don’t understand that, and I just believe it’s something that they cooked up.” When asked about the investigation into Dr. Conrad Murray’s role in the death of the King of Pop, she said “All I know is that my son is dead, and I don’t think he just died of natural causes or whatever. He’s too young for that. Something happened, I don’t know what it was and I can’t say.”
The most anticipated news of the year, the results of Michael Jackson’s autopsy, has once again been delayed. The reports were supposed to have been released two weeks ago. Then it got delayed to last week, but still nothing. According to Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter, the outcome was supposed to be announced this week but now, they are likely to be released the following week. It seems that they’re still waiting for the results on the investigation to have some sort of smoking gun before they release the results. At this point, I really just want to know what the truth is regarding the King of Pop’s death.
Troubled Redmond O’Neal has been formally charged with a felony count of drug possession after he was arrested over the weekend.
The son of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal appeared in a California court, where his attorney asked for his bail to be reduced.
But a judge denied the request and instead raised the bail amount from $25,000 to $75,000.
Redmond, 24, wearing a prison blue jumpsuit and looking tired, appeared at the Newhall Municipal Court in Santa Clarita, California to face charges that he was carrying heroin and Xanax on him when he was visiting a friend at a county jail.
He is currently still in custody but is also due in a Malibu court this week in connection with a probation violation related to being kicked out of rehab last week.
Redmond has been in and out of drug rehab several times and fled from one last week.
He was arrested at 9.30am on Sunday in the visitors parking lot of the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California and charged with possession of a controlled substance.
While police can and do routinely search the cars of visitors to the Pitchess Detention Center, sources close to the O’Neal family said Redmond, who was driving, was acting erratically and drew attention to himself.
Meanwhile, Redmond’s mother, Farrah Fawcett, is still currently hospitalized in the Los Angeles area, suffering a serious setback in her battle against cancer.
Peaches Geldof insists “creative people” are allowed to make mistakes. The 19-year-old, the daughter of Bob Geldof, has dismissed criticism of her partying lifestyle following her reported drugs overdose earlier this month.
She said: “People have preconceived ideas of me – they can be so negative. Creative people can be allowed to make mistakes.”
Peaches – whose mother Paula Yates died of a heroin overdose in 2000 – was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by a friend at her London home, before paramedics arrived at the scene.
The TV presenter was brought back to consciousness but refused to go to hospital because she was terrified her father would find out. Last week, Peaches insisted her father Bob had no control over her.
The star, who is dating Horrors frontman Farris Rotter, said: “He doesn’t come along in the middle of the night and lock me in. He doesn’t need to be strict, I’m a woman now you know, I’m not 13. At almost 20 years old, I’m a woman and I live with two flatmates in Kings Cross while my dad lives in Battersea, so any idea I can be under curfew is a lie.”
Amy Winehouse was seen just as she was leaving the Monarch Pub in London on Thursday night carrying an empty Budweiser cardboard box while her friend carried out a lamp with him. As the friends may their way over to a cab, photographers got a glimpse of the British pop wreck’s nostrils which had some mysterious white blobs on them. Who am I kidding? There’s no mystery as to what those white blobs were. It’s obvious that she’s not going to change on her own accord. I wonder if they have some sort of conservatorship thing in the UK too.
Turning down an opportunity to do ‘Dancing with the Stars’ must be his biggest regret of the moment as Aaron Carter is now reportedly stuck doing VH1’s ‘Celebrity Rehab’ show. There’s nothing like trying to rev
ive your non-existent career by admitting you’re an addict and agreeing to air your treatment on TV for the public’s so-called amusement. The youngest Carter was busted for driving around with 2 ounces of pot in Texas a couple of months back. Former Hollywood madame Heidi Fleiss and Skid Row’s Sebastian Back are also said to be part of the cast. The show starts filming in June so we should be hearing confirmation on either or all of the 3 names mentioned.
Troubled Britney Spears’ family are to force her to quit LA and return to Louisiana.
Her dad Jamie Spears, who was recently granted control of her affairs, plans to take her back to the family home away from “bad influences”. He will file a court request to get Britney, 26, away from the clubs, drugs, and cheating ex-lover Adnan Ghalib.
A Spears family source said: “Britney has been feeling lonely and isolated since her dad has taken control of her life. He hopes to take her back to Louisiana where she will be surrounded by her family. Jamie also hopes it will give her the chance to mend her troubled relationship with her mum and her more recent rift with her pregnant sister. And he hopes to keep her away from the negative LA scene and people who’ve been using her.”
In recent weeks the star has made a good recovery. She has remained off drugs and has been working on her next music video. But her affairs will still be run by her dad and she is unable to see former manager Sam Lufti who has been issued with a restraining order.
Britney still faces a driving without a licence charge in LA after being nabbed last August.
Nope, no arrest for drugging poor Britney Spears yet. However, Sam did get served.
He was finally given the restraining order that prevents him from coming within 250 yards of the trouble star. He hid for over 200 hours before cops finally found him.
A hearing is set for Friday at 1:30 pm to see if the order will stand.
Amidst the sudden death of Heath Ledger, many had forgotten about the untimely death of another young Hollywood star. Brad Renfro was found dead in his L.A. apartment on January 15.
The coroner’s report is in, and his death was ruled to be from a heroin overdose. The exact report says “acute heroin/morphie intoxication”.
This was not Brad’s first run-in with trouble. He was sentenced to two years probation back in 1997 for trying to steal a yacht.
Fans fear for the life of Britney Spears as once again she drives haphazardly around LA in her black Mercedes once again. After being released from a psychiatric ward last night chaos ensued.
Her parents Jamie and Lynne are furious she has been released so early and have issued this statement,
“As parents of an adult child in the throws of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”
Reports from the US this morning claim the singer was released because a court representative found “no just cause” for her to remain in the UCLA Medical Center’s psychiatric unit.
After having Britney hospitalized again last night, Lynnr Spears has decided that Hollywood is not the place for her daughter to get better. She wants to take her home to Louisiana.
Britney’s lawyer Michael Flanagan says, “Lynne is extremely concerned for her daughter and would like to take Britney back home to Louisiana and get her out of Hollywood. Brit has an amazing support system in Louisiana.” He added that Lynne feels her daughter cannot get better if she is not removed from the circle of friends she currently has.
Janis Winehouse, the mother of British pop wreck Amy Winehouse, recently spoke to the Sunday Mirror about her daughter. She said “I’ve known for a long time that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realize my daughter could be dead within the year. We’re watching her kill herself, slowly. I’ve already come to terms with her dead. I’ve steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road. She’s invited me to the Grammy awards next month, but part of me thinks she won’t be alive by then. I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She’s on their path. It’s like watching a car crash – this person throwing all these gifts away.”
People around the world are still shocked by the news that Australian-born actor Heath Ledger is dead at the age of 28. Rumors have flown about a possible drug overdose, although his rep has asked that people avoid speculation at this time.
A preliminary autopsy was performed this morning but was determined to be inconclusive. More tests are planned, and an answer should be gotten in the next 10 days.
Until then, let’s remember the positive attributes Heath displayed and say a little pray for his 2 year old daughter Matilda (with former flame Michelle Williams) and the rest of his family and friends.
Amy Winehouse is a self-confessed bulimic, a genius singer/songwriter and a massive drug addict. And based on what she’s eating in this picture, it looks like the troubled stat is still torturing her body with the barfing.
Wino was spotted at a local convenience store in London on Thursday when she picked up a meal fit for a junky looking for a munch – junk food. Late Wednesday night, Amy surprised many by going on stage at the Jazz After Dark venue. People said she did great on stage and that after performing, she went on another binge by eating loads of calamari and tuna mayonnaise salad. It sounds delicious, too bad I think it just ended up in the toilet bowl.
The very troubled ‘Rehab’ singer that is Amy Winehouse isn’t really the first person that you would consider as a role model. But being her is a great Halloween costume. Too bad Halloween’s already over. Now, I just think the kid’s screwed.
Wino gave some extra special attention to a fan after her concert this week in Blackpool, England. I think it was for some sort of contest, I’m not entirely sure. The young fan girl showed up dressed like Amy. The only things missing were some tattoos and bat wing eye liner. You can add nasty habit to that list too.
Sources close to Britney are insisting that the story is not true and the only drug that might have showed up on her test is the prescription pills prescribed by the court doctor. I just wish people would quit confusing “prescription drugs” (especially mixed with alcohol) with street drugs. It is equally dangerous. Let’s ask Elvis…oh, we CAN’T, or Anna Nicole…oh, we CAN’T. It’s so dangerous to assume that just because pills are prescribed, they’re harmless. And first, not last, somone needs to look out for these children. I was hoping Britney could get it together; now I’m reading more and more about her mother (even heard Dr. Phil endorse her! YIKES!) and things are just so messed up here. At this point, though, she has to take responsibility for herself and her children. Like some celebrities, I don’t want to take her in and take care of HER, I want to take care of THEM…
Mitch Winehouse was on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ on Monday to talk about his troubled daughter and clear up some issues about her that have been written in the tabloids.
Amy Winehouse’s father was pretty much big on his daughter and blames the singer’s husband Blake for all the trouble that she’s experiencing. Mitch told the hosts of the show that Amy was actually an opponent of hard drugs before she married Blake.
He also speaks of Amy’s battle with bulimia, her not reading the tabloids and how he will always be there for Amy if she needs his help. He’s pretty much making her out to be daddy’s little girl.
Former Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz is fuming that Lindsay Lohan is returning from rehab a bigger star than before. The actor, 21, insists it’s not fair Lohan’s two month spell in Utah’s Cirque Lodge will land her more film roles. Where is the reasonability in all this madness? I do believe I am tired of hearing about all these trailer trash lushes. I can not believe that blond hair hoes, get more money for acting than a homeless shelter. Where is the love? I hear more about these bimbos than the good that is going on in the world. The nerve of them and those who like what havocs these hoes plague our streets with. I think she should put her self in a homeless shelter for 3 months with no money. It will show her that with all that money your life can change at the drop of a dime. She needs to learn what it is like to be with out so that she will appreciate what she does not deserve.
