Smoke if you got 'em

Well, when the shit hits the fan, the shit really hits the fan. Looks like Hollywood's gone to pot, quite literally. Today's scoops offer a veritable treasure trove of substance abuse problems and emotional revelations. First, from squeaky clean actress/activist Ashely Judd:
"she underwent a 47-day stint in a Texas treatment center in February to overcome a host of emotional problems... Judd says she completed nearly two months of treatment to come to terms with her history of depression, isolation and codependent relationships.... Ashley Judd also revealed in the interview that she had frequently used sleep to deal--or rather, not deal--with depression, and fought compulsive tendencies throughout her adult life, detailing her habitual behavior of cleaning, needing to constantly wipe down plastic surfaces on planes and in hotel rooms." [eonline]

Hey, Ashley, it's cool yo. We've all been there now and again. Could be worse, you could be the Hoff... who seems just a tad outta control as of late. First, that ugly divorce -- the legal papers which detailed his apparent violent tendencies and drug abuse. Then that weirdo shaving incident. Now this:
"Reports around the web today state that BAYWATCH star David Hasselhoff was allegedly thrown out of Wimbeldon this week for 'being drunk'. However, officials at the All England Club deny such claims" [hollywood news]








Hmm, I bet he was liquored up but good. I ain't buyin' it. Well, on to younger brother to Rob, Chad. Seems Hillary didn't dump him because she got to big for her britches -- nope turns out Chad had a little problem with the sauce:
"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what," Swank tells Vanity Fair magazine. She also says her ex has been fighting his problem for years, and he is sober now. She does not name what substance he abused. But, she says in excerpts from the interview obtained by the New York Post, "When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid." [people]




Well, thanks for sorta revealing a whole lot of nothing there Swank. I wonder when he started using -- I have a feeling it was post-Oscar speech for Boys Don't Cry. Oh, snap.

Hmmm... so she waits till he's fought his way through addiction and now that he's clean she divorces him and tells the press of his private battles. She's great!
