Amy Winehouse’s Brain All Effed Up On The Drugs: Claim

by Stuart Heritage

This is shocking news, so brace yourself – there’s a chance that Amy Winehouse’s dad hasn’t been wildly sensational about his daughter’s health for once.

Remember in July, when Amy Winehouse was rushed to hospital, with Mitch Winehouse telling everyone that she’d just had a bad reaction to medicine? Apparently that’s not the case at all. Apparently Amy Winehouse overdosed on drugs again, started convulsing and might have suffered permanent brain damage.

Although the brain damage hasn’t been fully diagnosed yet, there are a number of signs to look out for including a glazed expression, spontaneous muscle spasms, chronic slurring and bewildering hairstyle choices. Holy crap, do you know what this means? Bruce Forsyth has damaged his brain on drugs!

He hasn’t. He really hasn’t. At all. Sorry.

Mary-Kate Olsen Demands Immunity: World Raises Collective Eyebrow

by Ian Dransfield

The loss of innocence is a big thing in the life, marking the point when they stop being a child and truly become an adult. When it comes to the world of celebrities, however, this distinction is harder to make. Thank golly gosh for the Olsens then, who we’ve been able to watch all their [...]

Mindy McCready Has A Full Throttle Nervous Breakdown

by Stuart Heritage

Some advance warning: in 52 weeks’ time, just stay in your house – Mindy McCready’s going to do something mental.

Honestly, it’s true. Almost exactly a year ago to the day, country singer Mindy McCready was arrested for apparently beating her mother up, and now she’s been admitted to rehab following a nervous breakdown and possible overdose.

McCready’s breakdown comes after the revelation that she’s had a 15-year affair with US sports star Roger Clemens. So what can we expect from Mindy McCready in July 2009? It’s a tricky one to predict – mother-punching and nervous breakdowns are notoriously hard to top. We don’t think she’s abused any animals so far – maybe that’s an avenue.

Anna Nicole Smith’s Son Didn’t Die On Purpose

by Stuart Heritage

For just over 18 months now, the question on everyone’s lips has been ‘Did Anna Nicole Smith’s son commit suicide or die accidentally?’

OK, that wasn’t a question that was on anyone’s lips, since the sole sum of public knowledge about Daniel Smith is that he sometimes looked quite embarrassed when Anna Nicole Smith dragged him in front of the cameras on her reality TV show.

However, the inquest into Daniel Smith’s death has revealed that an accidental drug overdose killed him. Truly Daniel Smith was the Heath Ledger of September 2006, albeit a Heath Ledger who wasn’t in any films and had a bit of a slutty mum.

Heath Ledger: Looks Like It Definitely Was The Drugs After All

by Stuart Heritage

So it’s official – an accidental overdose of sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medication, painkillers and other prescription drugs killed Heath Ledger.

The New York City medical examiner has declared that Heath Ledger died from “acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,” in a report that’s just been released.

As sad as this news is, we should focus on the positives – not only can Heath Ledger’s family continue with their lives knowing that at least it wasn’t suicide, but Heath Ledger looks set for pub quiz immortality by being the answer to the question “Which celebrity cause of death would get you the highest score in a game of Scrabble?”

Ike Turner: It Was The Cocaine What Got Him

by Stuart Heritage

If you discovered that Ike Turner died of something boring like pneumonia or old age or a heart condition, you’d be pretty upset.

After all, this is Ike Turner – inventor of rock and roll and wife-beater extraordinaire – we’re talking about. Surely Ike Turner’s death had to be as spectacular as his life.

Well it was, provided that ‘Massive Cocaine Overdose’ is spectacular enough for you. And, unless you were hoping that Ike Turner’s death was caused by a giant robot from outer space exploding him with its death rays, hopefully this will do.

Dennis Quaid Vs The Giant Drug Company

by Stuart Heritage

Dennis Quaid’s newborn baby twins are lucky to be alive – it wasn’t so long ago that they were being injected with doses of blood-thinner 1,000 times larger than normal.

But although his new son and daughter survived the giant Heparin overdose – and are thought to be recovering well – Dennis Quaid is still thirsty for revenge. That’s why Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly Buffington are suing Baxter Healthcare Corp, which manufactures Heparin, for £50,000 in a product liability lawsuit. It shows just how angry Dennis Quaid must be to pursue Baxter through legal paths, because in the past he’s resolved any outstanding medical difficulties by shrinking himself down to a sub-atomic level and injecting himself up Martin Short’s arse.

Dennis Quaid’s Babies Recovering From Massive Overdose

by Stuart Heritage

As Innerspace-loving children, we were led to believe that there was nothing that Dennis Quaid couldn’t solve by drunkenly shrinking himself down to a speck and flying around people’s bloodstreams singing Sam Cooke songs.

But, in truth, even when you’ve fictionally been injected into Martin Short’s buttocks you still have to cope with immense tragedies like the rest of us. That’s something Dennis Quaid had to come to terms with pretty quickly this week when his newborn twins were accidentally injected with 1,000 times more of the anti-coagulant drug Heparin than usual. However, the good news seems to be that Quaid’s twins are recovering well and showing “no adverse reactions.” Hopefully this news will put an end to what must have surely been one of the most traumatic times Dennis Quaid’s life.

True, the second-most traumatic time was when Dennis Quaid read the The Day After Tomorrow script and realised he’d be paid to out-run some ice, but that shouldn’t diminish the relief he should be feeling now.
