Selma Blair was in Rehab for Drug Problem

It's recently been revealed that actress Selma Blair has just finished a secret 30-day stint in rehab for substance abuse.

According to US reports, Selma has had an addiction problem for some time, but her drug abuse escalated rapidly after her divorce from husband Ahmet Zappa last November.

While Selma, 34, managed to hide her drug problems in public, friends and family became increasingly concerned about her. In March she realised she'd lost control of her life and entered the Promises Treatment Center in Malibu.

"Selma finally admitted to herself that she had a problem and made up her mind to take care of it," an insider says.

Despite the coverage the facility received when Britney Spears was a resident early this year, Selma managed to keep her stay at Promises low-key. And unlike the troubled pop singer, the Legally Blonde star seems to have absorbed some valuable lessons in rehab.

"She embraced what she learned at Promises and distinguished herself as a model patient," says a source. "She's anxious to get back to work and pursue a healthy and drug-free lifestyle."

Britney Spears Released from Rehab

Britney Spears has finished her nearly one-month stint in rehab and has left the facility. Spears "has been released by the Promises Malibu Treatment Center after successfully completing their program," her manager, Larry Rudolph, said in a statement late Tuesday night. A friend says the 25-year-old pop star "is doing fine." She voluntarily checked into Promises on Feb. 20 after a weekend of hard partying in which she shaved her head. She briefly left the program the next day – only to return when estranged husband Kevin Federline threatened a custody battle over their two sons. Since then, Spears has attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, though her one-month stay was shorter than most. A typical stint at Promises is about 45 days. Federline has visted her in rehab several times with their sons, most recently last weekend, and has been described as supportive of her recovery. Currently, Spears has custody of the boys with visitation for Federline. While she was in rehab, Federline took care of the children with help from his mother and Spears's mother. Others rooting for Spears's recovery include Brooke Shields, who told Access Hollywood, amid speculation that Spears may be suffering from postpartum depression, that she'd be available to talk to the singer anytime. And music producer Timbaland, who has crafted hits for Spears's ex-boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, told Entertainment Weekly that he'd like to work with Spears once she's better.

Send Britney Your Support, God Knows She Needs It!

On her official website britneyspears.com, the pop star asks fans to "send your thoughts and inspiration" through an email.

Concerned fans are pouring in the support from all over the world with positive messages like, "Relax and don't rush yourself, we are here for as long as it takes for you to get better."

While the site is displaying some of the more inspirational messages, there's no guarantee that every letter will be posted on the site. A confirmation warns that Britney's "team" will "review the message and consider it for posting."

Nicole Richie is back on Drugs

When Nicole Richie was hospitalized on March 2 for dehydration, one friend worried Nicole was back on heroin. But In Touch can reveal this is not true.

Insiders say Nicole has been using Adderall - a prescription drug normally used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and is a powerful appetite suppressant. "She loves Adderall because she stays awake, and it makes her not want to eat," says a close pal. "And she takes it even more when she's filming."

Although her rep denies that she uses the drug, a pal says Nicole's actually increased her dosage: "She's taking more and more lately."

Britney Spears has the Absolute Worst Taste in Men

Here are two pictures of Jason Filyaw, who is supposedly Britney's new man. He is 33-years-old, and is the lead singer in the band Riva.

They met at AA, and he looks an awful lot like K-Fed.

They are supposed to move in with each other when Britney leaves rehab.


Dear Britney,

This has got to be a joke. Another K-Fed? WTF? Why can't you go back to your orginal type? Find yourself a good 'ol Justin Timberlake wannabe. These bad boys obviously don't work so well for your cracked out ass.

Love,

Us Weekly Cover: Hollywood & Drugs+Celeb Drug Quotes

While in the field, Us reporters often run across celebrities doing everything from smoking pot to snorting lines of cocaine in private parties and clubs. Of course, drug and alcohol use among celebrities is nothing new, but in a frightening turn, it appears to have become more publicly accepted.

One source recalls a recent star-studded New Year's Eve bash in Miami: "There were lines of coke on the table, weed everywhere. It was insane. It was a very free atmosphere."

Notes the scenester, "Coke is so not a big deal for young stars in Hollywood. It's like having a drink."

Indeed, a stay in rehab once killed a person's career, but now celebrities openly disclose their drug use in interviews: Lohan admitted to drug use in Vanity Fair; singer Fergie has been candid about her former crystal meth addiction; Justin Timberlake has admitted he was stoned when he recorded his multiplatinum CD Justified; and John Mayer - currently dating Jessica Simpson, daughter of a former Baptist minister -- gave Rolling Stone an interview while puffing on a marijuana vaporizer.

Which other stars have confessed to past drug use? What boldface names have been caught in the act? Why is drug use becoming more open in Hollywood?

Hollywood A-listers come clean about their past experiences with drugs:

"I've slept with too many women, done too many drugs and been to too many parties. I loved acid when I was at college. It was an escape. I liked mushrooms. They were like easy acid. I did like blow…Blow would dress you up for a party, but never take you there. You’re always like, This is going to be great! Then you’re just depressed.”
-- George Clooney, in 1997

“I hate heroin because I’ve been fascinated by it. I’m not immune, but I won’t do it now, at all.”
-- Angelina Jolie, in 1998

“My mind seemed to have a huge neon sign in it that blinked nonstop: COKE. GET COKE. So I did. It was great for dieting, partying and picking up my mood.”
-- Drew Barrymore (who had gone through rehab twice by age 13), in 1996

"I ended up on a shrink's couch, and he told me to write down how much I did in a week: 20 E's, 4 grams of coke, six of speed, half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack Daniel's, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints."
-- Colin Farrell, in 2003

“If someone wants to do drugs…as long as he or she isn’t corrupting minors or driving under the influence or endangering others, shouldn’t a person have that right?”
-- Brad Pitt, in 2006

Britney Admits She is Bulimic

Britney Spears has confessed to doctors that she has been suffering from the eating disorder bulimia since she was 16. The 25-year-old singer tearfully told rehab staff – already treating her for drug and alcohol abuse – that she “pigs out” on junk food like burgers, sweets, biscuits and ice cream then makes herself vomit to avoid putting on weight. Britney’s nine-year nightmare, revealed in an American magazine, was confirmed by a senior source at the £24,000-a-month Promises centre in Malibu, California. She entered the centre last month after shaving her head at a hair salon. “Doctors are alarmed at the physical state she is in,” said the source. “They confronted her about her desperately unhealthy lifestyle and the truth came pouring out.” Britney said she managed to stop the dangerous habit during her two pregnancies. But as soon as sons Sean Preston and Jayden James were born, she began the desperately unhealthy cycle again in an effort to lose her added baby weight. On top of her alcohol and alleged cocaine use, the bulimia turned her into a “human wreck”, according to the source, who added: “When she came here she was shaking and baking. Her whole body was wracked by spasms and she was hot one minute, then freezing cold the next. “Her first week in detox was real hell. She was in a total mess but slowly she’s pulling through.” Dietary specialists at Promises are working with doctors to help Britney conquer the eating disorder – famously suffered by Princess Diana – which was discovered when specialists realised why her medications were not working. The source said: “For the first few days, she’d take her tablets, then go off and eat breakfast or lunch. She was throwing the whole lot up, so, naturally, her medications weren’t working. Now the medical experts know why, her progress should pick up a little speed.”

Nicole Kidman Gives Urban a Lap Dance

Actress Nicole Kidman displays a hidden talent as she enjoys a Caribbean boat trip with recovering addict husband Keith Urban.

The 39-year-old actress performed a saucy pole dance for the country singer, and the couple looked as if they have put his spell in rehab behind them.

The couple kissed and canoodled on board the yacht, off St Barts in the French West Indies yesterday and seemed very happy.

They also went snorkelling, although Nicole looked rather less glamorous than usual in a black wetsuit and goggles.

Kidman insists she and Urban have moved on after his stint in rehab for substance abuse and are now trying for a family.

She said: "We've been through a lot. We had to dig really deep and that's what we're in the process of doing. "Am I going to have a baby? I hope so."

Did Britney Have a Satanic Breakdown in Rehab?

BRITNEY Spears has flipped her lid in rehab, trying to hang herself with a bedsheet after screaming "I am the anti-christ" to frightened staff.

She made the demonic cry after scrawling the devil's number "666" across her head.

Spears's manic behaviour has concerned relatives who once again fear for her safety, and has staff at the Promises Clinic in Malibu, California struggling to cope.

The former chart-topper's troubles have been revealed in Britain's News Of the World, which broke the exclusive story.

Within days of her suicidal behaviour, Spears - who was in and out of rehab before shaving her own head and later attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella - was begging estranged husband Kevin Federline not only for a reconciliation, but demanding she wanted to soon have another baby.

The ordeal began when she terrified staff by writing the number of the beast on her head and running around the clinic screaming, "I am the anti-christ!"

"The clinic people just didn't know what to do," a friend claimed.

The pop star then tried to hang herself with a bedsheet was but was found before she could hurt herself.

You can't make this shit up.

Brit Brit: The Lost Weekend

Before checking in to Promises rehab center in Malibu for the second time, Britney Spears enjoyed a strange, bewildered day with two new friends.

Bright and early on February 17, a newly bald Spears arrived at L.A.s chic Mondrian hotel, ready to catch some rays. But the star was denied a room due to lack of credit cards or cash.

By 11 a.m., an undeterred Spears, 25, had stripped down to a bra and panties poolside, then shaved her legs in the pool bathroom.

“It was sad,” says a source. “It looked like she really needed a friend.”

She got two – at least for a few hours. Around noon, Spears (then in a blonde wig) began chatting up a woman in the bathroom, who offered to loan the pop star a bathing suit.

Spears followed her new friend to her hotel room where -- after changing into a borrowed bikini -- she raided the minibar.

“She grabbed four or five bottles and just started mixing everything and drinking them.”

What happened when the group returned poolside? How many drinks did Britney down that day?

Britney Has a New BFF: The Other Baldwin

Britney Spears is "doing great" in rehab, according to actor Daniel Baldwin.

Daniel, 46, claims he bumped into the troubled 'Toxic' singer at Malibu's Promises rehab centre when he was leaving the facility after completing his own treatment for drug addictions.

Daniel - the brother of Hollywood stars Alec, William and Stephen - told Us Weekly magazine: "I told her if she needed anything or if she wanted me to bring anything to her where she's at, I'd be happy to come see her.

"She's doing great, she looks great. She seemed like she was a little fearful. I mean, she's a young girl - I have kids older than her. I think that she knows that she needs some help, and God bless her. All we can do is pray. That's what I want people to do - pray for her."

Daniel gave mum-of-two Britney, 25, his mobile number so she could keep in touch, and told the star "don't drink, don't use".

He added: "It's really simple. One thing I mentioned to her is if you took a look at how much effort you put into going out - at least for me - and using and doing the things we do, compared to how much effort you need to put in to stay sober, it's infinitesimal on a comparison basis."

Daniel - who was arrested in April on charges of being under the influence and carrying cocaine paraphernalia - said he has now been sober for 97 days.

Lynne Spears Visits K-Fed & the Kids

K-Fed Files an Emergency Custody Hearing

TMZ has learned that Kevin Federline has asked a judge for an emergency hearing on Thursday to discuss his custody dispute with estranged wife Britney Spears.

A court spokesperson says only K-Fed and his attorney are scheduled to appear before the judge, but adds "anything is possible."

Federline filed papers in November seeking spousal support and sole custody of the couple's children- 5-month-old Jayden James and 17-month-old Sean Preston. As TMZ previously reported, a temporary court order granted the couple joint custody, with Spears having primary physical custody of the boys.

Now, with Spears' recent erratic behavior, coupled with the fact that she's been in and out of rehab twice in the last week, all bets may be off.

Britney to Hand Over the Kids to her Mom

Britney Spears is reportedly considering making her mum, Lynne, the legal custodian of her two sons to prevent their father Kevin Federline getting custody of the boys.

Kevin pledged to fight for custody of 17 months old Sean and 5 month old Jayden when Britney specified she wanted full legal and physical custody when she filed for divorce last November. According to the Sun, his legal team have been closely watching Britney’s constant partying since then in order to portray her as a bad mother when the case comes to court.

Lynne Spears arrived in Los Angeles last week to supplement the care given to the boys by nannies. A source told the newspaper: “Britney has called in her mum to make sure nobody can accuse her of neglecting her children. She is terrified that Kevin will take them.”

In related news, an onlooker has revealed that Britney nearly broken down in tears on Friday when she thought she’d missed her flight to Los Angeles.

After leaving rehab, Britney was spotted running through Miami International Airport to catch a flight to Los Angeles but when she arrived at the gate, she found that the flight was closed and the walkway had already been retracted from the plane.

A passenger at the adjoining gate told People magazine: “She was really upset. She [said] to the ticket agent, ‘I’ve got to get on this plane to get home to my kids.’ She looked like she was about to cry.”

The agent then called through to the pilot, who let Britney board the American Airlines flight. Britney gave the ticket agent an autograph then smiled and waved at the onlookers, saying “God bless.”

An American Airlines spokesperson told the magazine that allowing late arrivals on board is not unusual as long as the flight isn’t delayed.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for Britney has told People magazine: “Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time.”
