The Pasadena Recovery Center announced on October 1st that they are teaming up with actress Mackenzie Phillips to help educate the public about addiction and recovery. Phillips, an outspoken voice in the community, will be joining Pasadena Recovery Center as the new Recovery and Treatment Advocate. She will be involved in community relations, educational outreach and will host a weekly group meeting. As an alumni of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, she became familiar with the center during filming of the hit reality television series.
“As an addict/alcoholic in recovery, I’m so passionate about helping others find a new way to live,” said Mackenzie Phillips. “Teaming up with Pasadena Recovery Center is an opportunity to do just that. We are in the grip of an epidemic, but there is a solution!”
“I’m very excited about teaming up with Mackenzie Phillips. She brings a lot of enthusiasm and is a welcome addition to the Pasadena Recovery Center Team,” said Michael Bloom co-founder of Pasadena Recovery Center.

]]>The Untelevised Celebrity Rehab Reunion
Celebrity Rehab took more than its share of heat during its six seasons on the air. The issues it dealt with were not pretty and when anyone who’d been on the show died—along with the 200,000-odd others who lose their battles with addiction every year—the show was blamed. The deaths of Jeff Conaway, Mike Starr, Joey Kovar and Mindy McCready were indeed tragic but the public at large seemed unwilling to look at the real issues. The tragedy, in other words, was not about a television show that once-famous folks appeared on during the later days of their respective struggles. The tragedy is that addiction takes so many lives.

]]>Rod Stewart: Steroid ‘addiction’ shrank my manhood!
‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy’ singer reveals horrible physical side effects of drugs he used to treat vocal chords
It used to be this big! Rod Stewart revealed in a recent magazine interview that his manhood was affected by his continual use of steroids.
Ozzy Osbourne – Sugar Puffs
Rocker OZZY OSBOURNE has developed an addiction to British breakfast cereal Sugar Puffs – so much so, he has the snack shipped out to his home in Los Angeles.
The Black Sabbath star is reported to have been so distraught by the lack of the glazed wheat cereal in the U.S, he requested the foodstuff be sent to him across the Atlantic.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, “One of the team at Honey Monster Foods (Sugar Puffs’ parent company) received an email from Ozzy Osbourne’s people in L.A. asking them to ship over some boxes of Sugar Puffs.
“They said it was his favourite breakfast cereal and he was wound up because he couldn’t find any over there.”
A spokesperson for Honey Monster Foods says, “The wild man of rock is used to other cravings but has, in his old age, moved onto softer, safer stuff.”
It was never dull when Lorenzo Amoruso played for Rangers.
And one of the more memorable stories of the self-styled Italian Stallion’s time in Glasgow was when he came clean about his drink problem.
It wasn’t any ordinary booze addiction – but a thirst for Irish whiskey and liqueur, BAILEYS.
Apparently the stopper got hooked on the cream based drink while he recovered from an early injury after signing at Ibrox.
Angelina Jolie – Cockroaches
Angelina Jolie has admitted she craves creepy crawlies and in particular COCKROACHES.
The Hollywood superstar is recognised as heroine Lara Croft and is famous for her roles in Changeling and Mr and Mrs Smith.
And Angie developed a taste for the bugs while spending time in Cambodia and described them as meaty and full of protein.
“There’s this very pointy bit on their stomach you just can’t eat. You have to kind of pop that off.” —Angelina Jolie on Cambodian snacking, as quoted in a new book about celebrity eating habits. If this disturbs you, then you don’t want to watch Bug Eater 2: Cockroach Eating Girl. [Montreal Gazette]
Popstar Beyonce Knowles is addicted to playing online games
with strangers as her opponents have no idea they’re pitting themselves against a superstar. -
The ‘Halo’ hitmaker unwinds by spending hours in Internet chatrooms playing card games, Allure magazine reported online.
The 28-year-old singer admits she gets a secret thrill out of remaining completely anonymous amongst her rivals and not revealing her true identity.
“I play with everybody, and they curse me out when I make mistakes, and kick me out of the room. I love it, it’s really fun because no one knows it’s me,” Beyonce said.
Jessica Simpson – Nicotine chewing gum
Jessica Simpson has developed an addiction to nicotine chewing gum, even though she has never smoked a cigarette. The singer started using the product, which is designed to help smokers quit, by accident – but now relies on it for energy.
She says: “I am addicted to Nicorette gum… Never in my life have I smoked. The first time I ever chewed a piece of Nicorette gum one of my close friends’ mother gave it to me. I think she thought she was giving me a piece of regular gum.”
“I was chewing it and it was like a party in my mouth. It was like fireworks and ‘Oh my God, I’m talking a million miles per hour and I love this gum and what kind of gum is this? I have to have this gum!’ It’s Nicorette and it gives me energy – it’s like drinking three Red Bulls (energy drinks).”
