Keith Richards explains why he stopped doing drugs |

Veteran wildman Keith Richards claims the only reason he no longer takes drugs is because they are now of a low quality. The Brown Sugar guitarist was a heroin addict for most of the 1970s and remains rock’s most celebrated survivor. However, the 62-year-old is less-than-impressed with contemporary narcotics. He says: "I really think the quality’s gone down. "All they do is try and take the high out of everything. I don’t like the way they’re working on the brain area instead of just through the blood system. "That’s why I don’t take them any more. And you’re talking to a person who knows his drugs." However, Richards admits to sampling morphine again in hospital, following brain surgery after he fell out of a tree while on holiday in Fiji in April. He adds: "I don’t take drugs unless I have to under great duress with my brain open. "I’ve had a couple of weeks on morphine. I did try to squeeze the little bit extra out of the night nurse. She was very accommodating."
IOL
That answer is so sad, but I guess I should not expect that much from a man who fell out of bush.

SHE’S touching down in Oz to shoot a mini-series next month, but sitcom star Debra Messing has issued a warning to the film’s producers – she won’t be going anywhere near the ocean. The Will and Grace star admitted the death of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has left her terrified of swimming in Australian waters. While Messing (pictured) said she was "very much’’ looking forward to coming to Australia to film mini series The Starter’s Wife, she has revealed her demands for a body double to stand in for any ocean-related scenes. "I told them I am not going in the ocean. I told them I need a stunt double,’’ she said from LA this week Messing, who will be accompanied by her husband Daniel and their toddler Roman during her stay, stars as a Hollywood wife who has been ditched on the Gold Coast by her movie mogul husband. In addition to her swimming ban, Messing also announced to producers that her famous flaming red locks wouldn’t be making it to Australia. Celebrity spotters will want to keep their eyes keenly peeled – because after decades of being a bloodnut, Messing has told producers "enough is enough’’. "We were just talking and I was really pushing for dark brown,’’ she said. "They (producers) were like, `We like the red’ – I was like ‘I bet you do’.’’

What a freaking Diva. Wait until the movie bombs at the box office if it actually makes it to the big screen.

More excerpts from John Lequizamo’s memoir’s |

Everybody who ever worked with John Leguizamo better grab a copy of his new memoir, "Pimps, Hos, Playa Hatas, and All the Rest of My Hollywood Friends." Yeah, we told you about Leguizamo’s run-ins with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Penelope Ann Miller and other people. But allow us to share a few more pages from Mambo Mouth’s diary. Take the ordeal of playing miniature painter Toulouse-Lautrec in "Moulin Rouge!" Director Baz Luhrmann had him wear prosthetic legs and lay prone all day on the floor. But there was an upside: "I got to peek up Nicole Kidman’s skirt. Let me just say the curtains match the carpet." Having "those really hot scenes with Mira Sorvino" in "Summer of Sam" was also "kind of trippy," especially since his wife, Teeny, was pregnant at the time. "Mira is really beautiful. And really smart," he writes. "She’s a great package." Leguizamo admits that he sometimes becomes aroused filming a sex scene. "I feel like I should apologize for it," he says. "Like the owner of a dog … ‘Sorry. Down boy. Roll over. Play dead.’" Leguizamo also writes about having to gratify himself in front of the camera in "Spun," having rough sex with an extra on "Carlito’s Way" and almost coming to blows with "Miss Crazy" Patrick Swayze in "To Wong Foo …" He still regrets any pain he may have caused Method acting god Lee Strasberg. After working with him one day, Strasberg died. Says Leguizamo: "I have that effect on people."

I have to admit that Strassberg thing made me LOL!

Sean Penn in trouble for smoking? |

Pressure is building on Ontario’s anti-smoking police to give Hollywood star Sean Penn a ticket after he was pictured lighting up at a news conference. "He should be charged," Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson said today at his own news conference to herald the first 100 days of the province’s tough new anti-smoking law. Almost 500 tickets have been issued to smokers and establishments but, so far, not to Penn or the hotel where he appeared during a news conference to promote his new movie, All The King’s Men, at the Toronto International Film Festival. Critics said it will appear the new Smoke-Free Ontario Act, which outlaws smoking in indoor public spaces, doesn’t apply to the rich and famous unless something is done. "It was such a flagrant breech of the law," said Michael Perly, executive director of the Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco. "It absolutely should be a target." Ontario’s chief medical officer of health said it’s up to hotels, bars and other establishments to tell patrons not to light up. If patrons persist, they should be ticketed, Dr. Sheela Basrur said. But it appears inspectors from the Toronto Public Health department have left Penn alone. Basrur said an investigation should begin immediately. Inspectors should also be more vigilant with major events like the film festival in future, Basrur said, noting tickets issued to individuals are typically for $105. Officials for the festival and Toronto public health could not immediately be reached for comment.

I so hope they ticket his a$$! Can you imagine his political tirade if he does get the ticket?

John Leguizamo needs to get over himself |

John Leguizamo played a cruel prank on Carlito’s Way co-star Penelope Ann Miller after the pair fell out – by shrinking her costumes. The actor took an instant dislike to Miller during the shooting of the 1993 film. In his upcoming autobiography “Pimps, Hos, Playa Hatas, And All The Rest Of My Hollywood Friends,” Leguizamo writes, "You really have to know Penelope Ann Miller to dislike her. She’s the kind of girl who would flirt with anyone in the world as long as people are watching."Leguizamo and the wardrobe department decided to get even with Miller – by taking in her clothes an inch at a time.He writes, "Every day her outfits are getting a little tighter, a little tighter. She goes on a starvation diet. Watch the movie, you’ll see she gets thinner and thinner."
