As we all know, celebrities are famous for blazing trails into new frontiers. That's what makes them famous. They seem to get to do things in normal life that some people can only dream of...
And then they changed...we learned that some people seem to choose the trail of "illicit and illegal activity" (think PeeWee Herman) or "just plain dumbass moves" (driving wrong way onto freeway on ramp ring a bell? White bronco chase?)
So, last summer we had alot of Rehab Vacations. Then some of the rehabbers had to pay the price on the outside and we saw a bunch spend time in the pokey after they sobered up...Keifer, Lindsay, Nicole and Paris...(and OJ, but he don't count 'cuz he's not a celeb anymore. Just a killer and you know it. Anyone know where Kato Kalin is? Just curious. Ok, FOCUS on the blog.)
And now, we seem to have a new "get away from it all" destination. The Psych Ward. Owen Wilson, Britney Spears in double time...with Dr. Phil and the whole crazy gang. (Tell me why that Alli Sims has to show up at all things Britney at 2:00 am? It's like they dial 911 and then dial Alli.) And Justin Chambers (Alex Korev from Grey's Anatomy) checked in this weekend for help with a Sleeping Disorder. And breaking news today is Designing Women's Delta Burke has checked herself in for Hoarding and compulsive disorders. Even Tony Soprano and Dr. Melfi were working it out on a weekly basis. What is all of this saying? Are we driving our celebrities nuts? Or are more celebs admitting they are nuts? Is nuts a non-pc term?
On a serious and somber note, perhaps if Heath Ledger had chosen to seek help for insomnia in a controlled environment, like Justin Chambers did, he might be alive today. Sad news that his overdose is now been ruled accidental due to toxic cocktail of prescribed medicine. Sleep deprivation has also been cited in Britney's final 3 days before being placed under UCLA's care.
I can't imagine what could make people think they need all these designer drugs to fall asleep. Aren't there some old Columbo episodes on in every tv market in America at 2:00 am? Surely everyone has fallen asleep to an infomercial or 2?
Weird stuff in that Hollywood. That's why I call it Hollyweird. Sad.

Cole I hope everything is ok! I logged on this morning with my coffee (at work, of course) to see your recap from last night and was surprised that there was nothing.
Again I hope all is well.

Speaking of psych ward, is anybody watching Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. It's crap-tacular! Funny, the real freak show is all the friends and family that come to visit. Last night, I was mesmerized by a guest therapist's botox freeze and trout pout. It was a doozy.
Warning! This program contains a Baldwin brother.
