Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg said she doesn’t know anything about smoking weed and had to read up on it for her new movie role. The 25-year-old actress plays a pothead in her new film Take Me Home Tonight. She said to UsMagazine.com: “I play a goth stoner chick and I don’t know anything about the weed. Really, I know nothing about it. So I had to do a little research.” The actress added: “I was talking with my friends, who are apparently a bunch of f**king stoners.” However the star said she had to put in a bit more preparation for her Maxim magazine cover. She said: “I stopped eating. No, I ate a lot. My favourite foods are bread and cheese, so I basically just limited eating those things from five times a day to about twice a week. But only for ten days.”

Chace Crawford has been charged with marijuana possession.

The Gossip Girl star was arrested on June 4 in the car park of an Irish pub in Plano, Texas after cops found an unlit joint in the car he was in.

Chace, 24, who found fame on the hit TV show as Nate Archibald, could now face up to six months in jail if convicted on the misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge.

The actor was sitting in a pal’s Nissan car in the car park of Ringo’s Pub in the early hours when cops swooped.

The District Attorney in Collin County, Texas, decided today (FRI) to press charges.

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.’”

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.

For once it wasn’t about drugs…or so we think anyway. I guess we’ll find out after Amy Winehouse’s test results come back.

Amy was hospitalized on Monday just for observation. Seems she fainted while at her London home and is just going to be watched and tested.

Maybe she thinks they’ll give her some drugs since her dealers were arrested.

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.

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.
