Any Celebrities Left Who Are Not Drug Addicts?

I was watching the Television again today when all of a sudden a commercial came on teasing the evening news at five about a celebrity death. It was the usual teaser ad that does not tell you anything but urges you to tune in at 5 and get all the details, with all that overly dramatic action music going on in the background over the voice of the news person teasing the ad, sounding like its the end of the world and you have to go find out what happened. So my curiosity gets the better of me and i bite. I actually make a point of tuning in the local news, which i usually never do, to find out who died. So they start their news program and they finally tell you that Heath Ledger was found dead in his loft in Manhattan of some kind of a prescription overdose. Then they tell you that he has had a drug problem but he has been trying to fight it and he has supposedly been clean for over a year. Then the obvious hit me? Why are all these rich, young, and successful people all so miserable anyway? I mean God, how hard can it be exactly to be rich? Why the hell are they all so tormented? What exactly was the deal with that other actor, Brad Renfro? He actually got a tattoo two days before with an obscene word written across his back. He had an addiction too? Well O.k., what about Britney? What's her problem? she cant keep getting out of her own way. You know, If she would just stay away from the "stuff" she would have her kids. Do you know how reluctant a court of law in this country is to give custody of the kids over to the father and not the mother in these child custody cases? It's like most judges would rather pull their own arms off first. You have to be a complete train wreck as a parent before any court would do that.
Somebody please help me to understand why Amy Winehouse is so freaked out about anything? I think she is on her second Platinum cd in a row so what's the problem exactly? There are pictures of her smoking on a crack pipe and talking about being on like 6 valiums while somebody is shooting pics of her from a cell phone camera. I cant figure out why they would be so depressed? I mean o.k., I understand that its a drag to be chased around by the photogs all day but God is it really that big a deal? They have already made more money that they will ever need, they will never again have to worry about paying another bill, which is what regular people have to spend most of their waking lives worrying about, and they are still miserable and they cant take it and they have to medicate. I dont get it.
Somebody explain the madness of Tom Cruise to me? He does not take drugs i dont think but he just acts like he does. You see that's what you get when there isin't anybody left in your life who can take you aside and tell you that your going over the cliff. You get what Tom Cruise is. It's like he has no self awareness of his own weirdness anymore. Katie Holmes is in a cloud all day about WOW I'm Tom Cruise's wife that she's willing to do or be or wear whatever the great one wants her too. She's like a silly lovesick puppygirl. I'm surprised she don't salute him when he speaks to her. All that stuff with him on those scientology videos is cultish. When your at the top there is no one left who can veto you anymore. They are all too afraid to say anything to you because they dont want to jeopardize their relationship with you so they dont tell you anything and they just let you keep going even though they think they should say something. Tom Cruise is weird now but in ten more years it's probably really going to be something. He says he's in Scientology because he wants to help people. You wanna help people Tommy? Why dont you take about 300 million dollars of your own vast personal fortune, which you aquired from the working class stiffs who all go to your movies and pay $10 a pop to be entertained for a couple of hours, and do your own personal economic stimulus package? Invest that money back into the economy and start some new businesses and create a few thousand jobs? I mean if you really wanna help that is. If your scientology B.S. is for real then there is nothing like putting your money where your mouth is and giving some back. I think L.R.H. would approve don't you? Or would he?
