Courtney LoveJohnny Depp once saved ‘s life.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star had to give the Hole singer - who has a history of drink and drug abuse - the kiss of life when she collapsed after a heavy session.

“Nobody has ever loaned me money. I mean, I was going to die on a few occasions. gave me CPR on one. That’s as close as I ever got. I was watching that movie where he plays Dillinger, and I was like ‘Mother f***er, I never had myself any JD except CPR,’” Love said.

Courtney - widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain - also revealed strangers gave her money following her financial difficulties earlier this year. She and her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean are currently staying at a New York hotel while they waits for work to be completed on a nearby apartment, and she admits they’ve been treated like royalty.

She told Britain’s Style magazine: “They are the best staff in the world. When my bank account got frozen, we had $14.32 a week, so we lived off the kindness of strangers. The guy at the travel agency put his credit card down for the hotel. How insanely nice is that? And we are on the sixth floor. Not love nor money will buy you this floor.”

Kelly Osbourne Blames DNA

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk

Kelly Osbourne blames DNA for her addictionKelly Osbourne has blamed DNA for her addiction.

The Dancing With the Stars contestant—whose father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has had a long-running battle with drugs and alcohol—believes that her dependence on prescription drugs is something hardwired into her genes.

Kelly, who is now drug free, told Britain’s BBC Radio 5 Live, “I don’t have any shadow of a doubt that addiction is a disease. It is in your genes. The only people in my family who don’t have that gene are my mother and my sister Amy. I consider myself lucky that I saw both sides of it. Drugs stop you from screaming on the outside, but you are still screaming on the inside. I was addicted by 16. Drugs stopped me from feeling a certain way. Some people experience euphoria, but I never felt that. They numbed me and gave me confidence. It was like a magic medicine.”

Kelly—who has been in rehab four times, most recently in January—admits that she became a recluse during her lowest points of addiction.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drunk

Jack Osbourne is still tempted by alcohol.

The Adrenalin Junkie host - who gave up drinking following a 2003 stint in rehab - sometimes considers joining in with his friends when they are out together, but manages to exercise self-control.

“Sometimes there’s the occasional desire for it. It’s usually when we’ve had a really hard day working and everyone’s sat down having a beer, it would be nice to unwind with a beer but I know what it would end up like,” he said.

Despite his own teetotal stance, Jack insists he doesn’t object to people drinking around him. “My crew has a tendency to consume ridiculous amounts of alcohol sometimes so the next day when we have to be up at five in the morning, it’s just hilarious to see everyone so hungover,” Osbourne added. “I’m pretty sympathetic, I will make fun of them though, like, hit them on the head.”

Transformers Director Rushes to Shia LaBeouf’s Defense

Shia just might get out of that DUI chargeAs we reported earlier, Transformers 2 star Shia LaBeouf may not be at fault for the accident he found himself in early Sunday morning, but he is still facing DUI charges.

Seeing as the powers that be apparently don’t want to see Shia turn out like his fellow Disney stars (i.e. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears), it appears as if his blockbuster-making pal, Michael Bay, has come to his rescue!

The Transformers director adamantly insists that his beloved actor was not intoxicated that night:

“He was not drunk. He was drinking hours and hours before… We had a little heart to heart the week before when he bought a brand new motorcycle. I [said], ‘Dude! You cannot ride that motorcycle! If you crash, you put 1,500 people out of work.’ He said, ‘Ok, I won’t ride it, I won’t ride it. I’ll just drive my truck’.”

Shia LaBeouf Talks About Being Wasted

Given the news about Shia LaBeouf’s recent DUI, this interview he gave back in May really doesn’t seem that funny.

On Late Night with David Letterman, the 22-year-old promoted Indiana Jones and gave a detailed explanation for his drunken arrest at a Chicago Walgreen’s. While the actor did admit to being “a moron,” he also lovingly referred to alcohol as “special magic sauce.”

When asked what he learned about his run-in with the law, LaBeouf eerily said: “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping…it’s just as bad.”

Lily Allen Shocks Fans, Press at Glamour Awards

Lily Allen leaving Glamour Awards early

In less than a day, British punkster Lily Allen managed to shock both fans and press several times at Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards, including a much talked-about quick departure due to her intoxication.

First there was the hair. Having just gone from dark to light, no one expected Lily to quickly change to an extreme pink! To be honest, while many folks slammed her fashion for the choice in hair color, I loved it! Okay, so I may be slightly biased since that is my own personal favorite hair color, but jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino and pop rebel Pink have both successfully pulled it off—why can’t Lily?

Restraining Order Filed Against Bill Murray

Bill Murray, Jennifer Butler MurrayEvery once in a while there’s a story you personally wish wasn’t true. This one would be mine.

On May 12, Jennifer Butler Murray, wife of comedian , filed for divorce in Charleston, South Carolina. And while most of us are used to hearing the overused phrase “irreconcilable differences,” what Jennifer had to say in those papers could put the Charlie Sheen-Denise Richards feud to shame.

According to the court documents, Jennifer blames “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment” as the reasons for the end of her 10-year marriage.

Butler also felt it was necessary to file a restraining order against Bill due to his reportedly violent nature. Despite moving with their four children into a separate residence back in 2006, Murray allegedly came to his estranged wife’s home and physically harmed her. The Lost in Translation star supposedly “hit her in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’ ”

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies

Kristin Davis star Kristin Davis (we know her best as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt) recently sat down with Health magazine to talk Sex, cosmopolitans and her past. What she revealed may seem more than surprising to die-hard Sex fans.

You’re in a fashionable Manhattan club when you notice sitting some stools away. If your first impulse is to tell the barkeep to send a cosmo over her way, resist. In her interview, Davis admitted that she used to suffer from alcoholism - and she never touches the bevy of free cocktails she receives from faithful fans. “I get sent many a cosmo,” Davis admitted. “I never drink them…Why risk it?”

Unlike her happily married character, Davis, 43, is still a single gal with no kids to call her own. She would, however “love to have children.” Davis said she admires , and would consider adoption. But let’s not cash it all in just yet. Kristin also admitted “I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him.” Just remember, guys, cosmos definitely aren’t the way to her heart.
