The fact that alcohol is legal and socially acceptable does not make much difference as far its potential effect on your life, your work and your family. An alcoholic IS a drug addict. There is alcohol rehab in Malibu that offers individuated treatment programs unlike the one-size-fits-all stints available at many other rehabs. Cliffside Malibu is there for people who want to overcome this killer disease.

The trouble with many alcoholics it that first step. Admitting that you have a problem is so easy to avoid. You are a social drinker, you just like to party, you can quit any time, you just need a couple to help you relax…

If you have had any adverse life experience that is related to your drinking, than you have to seriously consider the fact that you may have a drinking problem.

If you are looking for a rehab, you have either reached this important step of recognizing your problem…or your family has…or maybe a judge…

I think a residential program has a lot to recommend it. They are usually situated a fair distance from temptation. A rehab like Cliffside Malibu offers a lot of comfort. It has lots of leisure and activity options. I can also understand the advantage of the customized approach that strives to meet the needs of individual visitors. Relapse is a big problem with recovered alcoholics, becasue their drug of choice is so readily available. The likelihood of you going to your nephews wedding and having your cousin offer you a drag off of his crack pipe at the reception is fairly remote, but there is probably going to be wine at the table. Not drinking has to become a way of life.

I was going to make some kind of outlandish connection between Mary Kate Olsen’s childhood addiction to coffee and her edgy disconcerting strangeness…then I remembered that Shakira has also been a big coffee consumer ever since her childhood. I like her. Maybe Colombian coffee is better for you than whatever they left on the burner off camera at the set of Full House.

Here is a serious report about kids and caffeine .

I don’t have a Tom Green category on my blog even though I tend to mention him once or twice every few months. I am sticking this video from back in the 90’s when he was funny in the categories of all the single and/or promiscuous celebrities that he has a remote chance of having sex with. He might be irrelevant and bitter and irritable, but at least he is quite likely to have condoms. If they are the ones he bought in this video, get him to check the expiry date on the box. My PSA of the week is DON’T USE EXPIRED CONDOMS.

The magazine uses some formula that combines income and media attention.  Tom Cruise is number 1 on the list .  I think Muhammad Ali, number 13 on the list, could still take him.

I’m going to expand on what was written here earlier today.

Actually putting things in chronological order might help. Please leave a comment if I make a mistake (I actually don’t care enough to fact check this stuff)

• Paris Hilton starts dating Greek rich guy A
• Mary-Kate Olsen starts dating Greek rich guy B
• Paris Hilton steals Greek B from Mary-Kate and dumps Greek A in one smooth motion
• Mary-Kate is sad
• Paris and Greek B are drunk and annoying
• Mary-Kate gets over it and starts dating guy C
• Paris finds lame excuse to dump Greek B and continues to be drunk and annoying without him

So what isn’t being said anywhere that I can find is that maybe the reason why Paris continued the relationship with a guy who didn’t bother to pretend to respect her was that she would have lost face with her juvenile friends if she ‘lost’ him to Mary-Kate.

I’ve noticed this before. If the Lindsay Lohan is too partied out and boyfriendless to generate her own tabloid attention, she parasitizes other people’s celebrity. Last year she said she had a crush on Angelina Jolie.  Earlier this year, she was all over Kate Moss.

Now Lindsay Lohan is “telling her friends” that she wants to establish a working relationship with Mary-Kate Olsen. I have two words for Lindsay…Puh Leaze…

 Looking at the sweet, innocent faces in this Full House cast photo, it’s hard to believe that one of them would later be cloned by the evil Dualstar Empire and that another one would get bored with being an unemployed housewife and become a Methhead.

Luckily for Jodie Sweetin her old costars staged an intervention. They were totally concerned with her personal well being, this had nothing to do with syndication revenues.
