Prison Break star Lane Garrison has checked into a rehab centre – just hours after being released from prison.
The actor was granted parole after spending half of his 40-month sentence in a California jail.
He was sentenced to three years and four months in prison for a dead drink-driving accident.
Garrison was released from the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi California in the early hours of Wednesday morning and hours later, he checked into the Tarzana Treatment Center.
He entered a substance abuse program while in prison and now has to continue treatment after being released as part of his parole.
Garrison served the time after pleading guilty to a series of charges – including vehicular manslaughter – after a December 2006 accident in which he rammed his Land Rover into a tree, killing a 17-year-old Beverly Hills High student and injuring two teenage girls.
Garrison was legally drunk at the time and had given alcohol to the minors.
Police found cocaine in his system and his blood alcohol level was over twice the legal limit.
Lane pleaded guilty to the charges following the crash in 2007. He recently agreed to pay the victims’ families a financial settlement.
Amy Winehouse is devastated after finding out that her husband told a lady fried of his that he was leaving prison early to go into rehabilitation before giving the news to Amy. This might very well be the reason why Amy refused to pay her husband’s rehabilitation fee and is now in talks with her lawyers about getting a divorce. A source close to Amy stated: ” “It looks like it’s over but we’ve been here before. He’s talked her round plenty of times before.” Considering he needs her to pay his rehab bills, one would figure he’ll use his best tricks to make it so… looks like just another day filled with glamor and excitement in the world of stardom.
Mindy McCready is reportedly going back to rehab after trying to off herself with some vodka and Ambien. To put in a capitalist twist on her seek for treatment, it’s being said that Dr. Phil’s inserting himself into the mix. The country crooner is headed to Arizona for treatment and sources say that it was all Dr. Phil’s idea. It’s being said that he’s taken Mindy under his wing as a personal project of his. There’s no word on whether Mindy will be on his show though. However, a rep for Dr. Phil says “Dr. Phil has not treated patients one-on-one since his show went on air. Ms. McCready’s situation is private and we respect her right to privacy in a difficult time.”
How would you feel if your own father threw you under a bus? If you happen to be Amy Winehouse, you could probably care less when you should really listen. Wino’s dad says that his little girl could die a very slow and painful death. Mitch Winehouse said “She won’t die of a drug overdose, it won’t be that quick. She would die, unfortunately, of emphysema … if she didn’t check her behavior, which she is doing.” She obviously doesn’t check her behavior carefully after what she did at T in the Park. Poppa Wino goes on to add that Wino’s hubby Blake Fielder-Civil will just be an enabler if and when he gets out.
Junkie Blake Fielder-Civil has begged wife Amy Winehouse to secretly fund his drug habit behind bars.
The lowlife, 25, told fellow lags he had asked the singer to make payments into the bank account of another con, who would then pass him heroin. He is being held on remand on assault and trial-fixing charges at London’s tough Pentonville jail.
And a prison source revealed: “Blake’s addiction is just as bad as ever and he’s bragging about how he’s been asking Amy to help him get a fix. He showed us the bank details of a known dealer inside Pentonville and said he’d asked Amy to make regular wire transfers to this guy in exchange for heroin. Apparently he wanted each transfer to end in a single pound, so the dealer would know who the money came from.”
The asking price for each “wrap” is said to be £100; four times its street value.
And the source said: “Blake doesn’t care as long as he gets his hit. He’s prepared to put his wife at risk. It shows how desperate he’s become.”
Meanwhile Pentonville’s security chief Andy Watts has written to Blake’s solicitors warning: “There is strong and supported intelligence he is involved in attempting to smuggle drugs into the prison.”
Staff at the UCLA Medical Centre are reportedly facing the sack for attempting to access Britney Spears’ medical files.
The troubled singer spent seven days in the hospital at the end of January to be given treatment for her Bipolar disorder.
But a US newspaper believes 13 employers are in the process of being fired and 12 others, including doctors, will be disciplined for looking at Britney’s confidential records.
This is not the first time the hospital has axed employers for peeking at her files.
In 2005, when the singer gave birth to son Sean Preston, several members of staff were caught looking at her computerized records.
Jeri Simpson, the hospital’s director of human resources, said: “It’s not only surprising, it’s very frustrating and it’s very disappointing,” Before adding she felt “horrible” that it happened again.
UCLA confirmed that officials had informed staff on the morning Britney was hospitalised warning them not to look.
A federal judge ruled today that there is no reason to move Britney’s case to federal court. He rejected the civil rights challenge in regards to her conservatorship case. Instead, he allowed her father Jamie Spears to continued to maintain control of her estate.
U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez also sent a challenge to Jon Eardley who claims to be Britney’s representation. “Mr. Eardley fails to explain why he can bring this claim for her in the first instance. He cannot. Mr. Eardley had no authority to remove the case from state court. He is neither a party or a defendant. While he claims to be Ms. Spears’ attorney, the probate court…found that she was incapable of retaining her own counsel.”
The creature which was known as Albino Wino has gone away as the brunette version of Amy Winehouse reemerged on Tuesday night in London. And yes, the beehive was back too – unfortunately. But I can say that it’s much better than her frizzy blonde do. Thankfully, there was no crack pipe in sight when paparazzi caught up to the singer. She was accompanied by her father on the day that shocking pictures were published showing her smoking crack and snorting cocaine. I wonder what daddy dearest thinks of that. But if the past is anything to go by, he’s telling her to go to rehab but she says ‘no, no,no’.
With all the drama that went down at Britney Spears’ home on Thursday, people are scrounging for information on just who exactly was present and got to where the pop wreck was keeping little Jayden James. Everyone thought that it was Brit’s wannabe singer cousin Alli Sims who used a hammer to hack her way into the bathroom where Brit locked herself in with JJ. But it wasn’t her and that’s coming straight from Alli.
She tells Us “I absolutely was not there. And even if I was there I would not have banged down the door with a hammer, that’s not my style. I would have knocked!” Manners in the time of drama. Wow.
I never thought I’d utter these words, but Lindsay Lohan has said, “My life is different now….It was time to grow up.”
The statement came Friday morning when Lindsay called a Las Vegas radio station and ended up talking to the hosts of Mix 94.1 FM’s morning show. She called to try and win Hannah Montana tickets for a friend’s neices; the station was giving tickets to people who could get celebrities to call and chat.
Linsay said, “I think my life is different now, and it’s changed, and I’m growing up.” She says getting into rehab is the reason she’s been plastered in the headlines lately
She discussed her current plans in the studio as far as her music goes. Not much in the works for the big screen. Lindsay did mention planning a humanitarian trip to Africa.
All I can say to this one is, “Eww, gross!” Unless her agent comes back and says she has diabetes, then someone needs to investigate this mess.
Sources from the Shutters Hotes in Santa Monica report that Lindsey recently stayed there with her former boy-toy Riley Giles. Apparently neither of them is a neat freak because the cleaning staff found cigarette butts all over the room. Umm, it’s called an ashtray people – use it!
But the clincher is this – not only did they find butts all over the room, one housekeeper found a bloody syringe that one of the guests had left sitting on the bedside table. In the guest’s defense, it had been neatly placed on a room service tray. Pardon me while I throw up.
Ok, so hotel security came in the room to photograph the needle and then had to call and have someone dispose of it properly because it was considered hazordous waste.
LiLo, if you’re gonna shoot up, at least have the decency to dispose of the trash yourself. Blech!
Amy Winehouse is moving. The troubled singer is leaving her flat in London’s Camden and moving her stuff to a new apartment in Bow in East London. And as she was in the process of moving earlier this week, photographers snapped some pictures capturing a suspicious looking bag in the singer’s trunk.
The bag looked like it was filled with a mound of white powder. Well, that’s not mysterious. It’s probably cocaine. Didn’t she do a line during one of her concerts? And if that wasn’t bad enough, Pete Doherty showed up at Amy’s new place around 4 AM on December 4. Are they doing lines together now?
Ok, so we all remember The Parent Trap and know that Lindsay is a natural, freckle faced redhead. And we all know people like that burn easily, so it’s understandable that Lindsay would choose to go with a rub-on self tanner. But hello!!!
Before using such a product, you’d think she’d learn HOW to use it. Instead the actress turned singer turned criminal and rehab patient definitely got some looks while she was out and about on Friday. But they weren’t because of her blinding beauty.
Instead, people were blinded by the blaring white of her arms. And then confused when they saw the orange-tinted tan on her face and chest. She’s apparently forgotten to apply the lotion on her arms.
Ladies, take my advice. If you’re going to make yourself tan in the winter, make you WHOLE self tan. Before heading out to get her hair straightened, Lindsay could’ve used that advice.
Britney Spears is well known these days for her self-destructing ways. And with this revelation, the pop wreck will soon be known for liking some kinky self-flagellation as well.
Star magazine, via Rush and Molloy, is reporting that Britney’s new mansion has a ‘Fantasy Room’ loaded with “ticklers, whips and fur-trimmed handcuffs” as well as a glass jar full of spanking paddles and a mirrored ceiling. There’s also a rack of costumes including schoolgirl, maid and Cinderella.
The dirt sheet also reports that Brit’s house has baby and dog poop painted on the couches and some of the sex gear is laid out in the living room in plain view of the little boys. I think I’m going to hurl.
Looks like our stars don’t mean it when they say they are “clean”. After recently reporting clues that Amy Winehouse was up to no good with the white powder; our little Lindsay Lohan has been spotted looking “out of it” at a recent party.
The Mean Girls star has just completed a two-month stay in rehab and has been attending Alcoholic Anonymous meetings. But sources claim that, at a party on 10th Nov, “She didn’t seem to know what was going on. She couldn’t comprehend anything.”
After being convicted on a DUI charge and being sentenced to the mandatory minimum 4 days, the Freaky Friday actress served just 84 minutes. No wonder celebs these days think they are better than ‘normal’ people. I know people who have served more than that for not paying their TV license on time!
Such talent and beauty. Wake up Lindsay, get your act together! Before your reputation is ruined for good…
It seems the “Back to Black” artist may not be so drug free after all. After 2 hours spent with a ‘mini-me’ fan; Amy Winehouse was snapped with what looked like cocaine residue on the inside of her nose.
The 24 year old claims to be drug free, but one onlooker quoted Amy as being “in high spirits” and “wide eyed” all evening. She was also an hour late beginning the show. So has the troubled singer returned to her wild ways? And is it such a big deal?
Of course narcotics are not exactly encouraged but if you saw a woman in your local shop in the same position you probably wouldn’t think twice, and it certainly wouldn’t make headline news. Is it really fair to drag it up just because she is a star?
Or is it because she is a star we should mention it – you know; influencing our children that sort of thing.
After last weeks story about her tour manager quitting; claiming doctor’s found heroin in his system after he inhaled it passively on the tour bus; maybe it is time Amy reconsidered her behaviour.
Who hasn’t run a red light? C’mon honestly… Millions of people do, every year (some probably have their kids in the car too), and aren’t labeled bad parents, but then again, I suppose you’re only a bad parent if you are Britney Spears doing it and if TMZ.com’s scum are filming it from behind while another one of their photogs are popping flashes in your face from the front (to make sure that you can’t see the light). Setup perhaps? TMZ hired by team Kevin Federline? You decide… This whole thing is sick! I would never go so far as to pass judgment on anyone’s parenting skills or sanity for such a minor traffic infraction that was clearly an attempt to get away from the stalkerazzi… And for the record, if you have watched the video, you know the statement “she sped through the light” from the above article is completely bogus. Britney Spears drove through the intersection at a snail’s pace… They make it sound like she was practicing for the Indy 500. I think it’s high time that the media leave Britney and her family alone… Enough is enough.
Britney Spears has already felt the wrath of her judge when it comes to her custody battle and now, she’ll have to feel the outrage of the Catholic Church.
Britney’s ‘Blackout’ album is controversial in itself because of the fallen pop star’s current state but a picture of her sitting on the lap of a priest in the booklet of the album has been called ‘the bottom of the barrel’ by the President of the New York-based Catholic League, Bill Donohue.
The New York Daily News even quoted Donohue saying “She’s not even allowed to bring up her own kids because she’s not responsible enough. Now we see she can’t even entertain.”
She got her kids’ visitation suspended for not getting in contact with the drug testing people and now she’s reportedly stood up her parenting coach. Does Britney Spears get off on antagonizing the law as much as she can?
Sources say that the troubled pop star had a scheduled time to meet the coach a few days ago at her Malibu home. The coach got there but there was no Britney in sight. Some sources are also saying that it was the coach who phoned in to ask the Commissioner to suspend the home visits presumably because it’s going nowhere.
It’s safe to say that Britney doesn’t listen to anyone.
I tell you guys these so called celebrities are a shame on themselves. Give one person who has not indulged in drugs lately or in the past. Lindsay to Paris to Britney to Mick Jagger to all of these people are druggies. They are all so addicted that they carry it in their bags and handbags just incase there is that instant urge to get high and they cannot get someone to their help immediately, so as a matter of precaution they will carry the drugs where ever they are flying, I am amazed that if they carry it while boarding the plane or even on a private jet are they not checked for the luggage they are carrying with them. I know 7 grams of weed is nothing much in quantity but that doesn’t mean you can get away with it. Amy has just in the past few month caught up with the addiction so badly that it’s now her best companion and her recent rehab stay too hasn’t benefited her much. Rehabs are just new hotel where are celeb checks in, enjoy are week laid back and comes out rejuvenated and with renewed vigor to continue that drugs merry.
