It’s Tabloid Time and this week, all I’ve heard is MEL, MEL, MEL! The Enquirer’s headline reads Mel’s been drunk for months; I’ll check that out; Katie collapses on the eve of her wedding, due to her life with Mr. Wonderful pushing her over the edge, dah; and Marie Osmond apparently attempted suicide.
Let’s see…
Page 10 – here is it, MEL, MEL, MEL. Apparently, his drunk-driving rampage was the result of month’s worth of binge drinking. Really? Is that supposed to excuse the comments he made and his ridiculous behavior that night? “Sources” are reporting that the intense pressure of filming “Apocolypto” in the heat of Veracruz, Mexico “reduced Mel to a pathetic drunk”. Pllllleeeeassssse. When someone is pouring straight vodka into a water bottle to hide the fact that IT IS straight vodka, I think they may have a problem. And if he was incoherent, as “sources” are reporting when he left the bar at 2 am, why did the bartender let him leave, or better yet, why did the people he was partying with let him go?
Page 16 – Katie collapses due to the stress of her upcoming nuptials, having to keep baby Suri under wraps, and changing her religion, all while living with Mr. Crazy Alien and always defending him to her family. Who wouldn’t freak? And think about this; it’s only been a year since the whole affair began. Doesn’t it seem like forever? The whole secret life thing reminds me of the classic 1940 Hitchcock thriller, REBECCA. http://www.filmsite.org/rebec.html Their “secret life” is just that creepy.
Page 27 – For all you General Hospital fans, I believe I broke this news to you over a month ago; Genie Francis will be coming out of her 4 year coma and returning to General Hospital in time for her and Anthony Geary to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Look for it to happen in November.
Page 50 – Marie Osmond allegedly attempted suicide on July 26th, by taking an overdose of prescription drugs (Adderall which combats ADD and Klonopin an anti-depressant) according to the Enquirer. Deeply depressed over a string of family problems (mostly feeling she’s been a bad mother, and her children would be better off without her), 46 year old little Ms. Country thought it was time to end her life, so she swallowed 2 bottles of pills, curled up on the floor of her bathroom and waited to die (remember, allegedly). Luckily, a friend found her and called an ambulance, which transported her to a local hospital. She’s recovering nicely in Hawaii.
Page 57 – there‘s a photo of a scantly clad, white-bikini wearing Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock partying away after their July 29th marriage in Saint Tropez. Let’s see how long this lasts!
That’s all from Hollywood this week!
