SERIOUSLY THOUGH...

it's no secret that young hollywood is, has been, and will always be plagued by certain inevitable bouts and run-ins with illicit drugs and other illegal substances...but is it just me or is it starting to turn DEADLY???

it seems like every time you turn around one such celeb is on their way to the ever-trendy stint in rehab (a la lindsay lohan), or caught smoking crack on film (hello amy winehouse), or caught dead in your bed surrounded by bottles of sleeping pills and residue of powdery substances on 20 dollar bills (r.i.p heath ledger). this type of behavior is becoming an epidemic in hollywood, and one that is certainly not to be taken lightly...

kids today all over the world are starting to dabble in the "club" lifestyle (which is generally how it starts), and then before you know it their extra-curricular "weekend activities" are starting to take over their lives (which have begun to down-spiral out of control!)

it's nothing short of a complete tragedy if you ask me; these young actors and musicians have everything they've ever wanted being handed to them on a gold splattered platter...and they're wasting all their well deserved attention being stalked by tmz.com trying to catch them in the midst of one of their drug-fueled binges...

since when did rehab become the new 'black'???? honestly people, if you're going to go crazy and party your lives away, i have some words of advice: everything in moderation, hire a fucking driver, becareful of who your 'friends' are, beware of camera phones when you're snorting lines in the bathroom stall with your "comrades", be nice to people so as to not piss them off, and for jesus sakes stay away from paris hilton...she seems to be the one to stir the "trouble pot" every now and then for previously-innocent baby-celebs!!
