I've never heard this one before, but apparently your arm can explode if you inject too much stuff in it. According to Holy Moly, last weekend Pete Doherty was recording music in the studio and shot himself up with a load of heroin. His artery popped and really bad stuff immediately followed. The doctor was called and well, Holy can explain the rest:
"Pete's arm was so fed up with being used as indie's voodoo doll it decided to give up the ghost and, erm, burst.
Anyway, it EXPLODED while he was there and the private doctor's speed dial was rung. Problem is, by the time the doctor arrived, the drugs had kicked in on dusty Pete and he kept running away from the doctor. So in some form of opiate Benny Hill tribute they had to chase him around the room before finally manhandling him to hospital."
That doesn't sound very good. But according to NME, Pete is scheduled to play a Christmas show in Liverpool on Dec. 27th. Hopefully the exploded arm is better by then.
By The Way, My Friends, Anthony Kiedis was almost on a Higher Ground this summer after his kidney turned into Scar Tissue and he needed a replacement; but doctors are more likely to Give It Away to non-drug addicts to Save The Population. They don't look fondly on Californication. Universally Speaking, Anthony's friends say the singer was Fighting Like A Brave after years of heroin and cocaine use damaged his organs:
"Anthony's health was pretty bleak. Organ failure was a possibility. There was talk of how to get him on a transplant list, to cover all the bases, but that opened up a whole new can of worms because people with histories of drug and alcohol abuse are less likely to receive the organs they need."
Anthony denies he needed a transplant, but not that he was in the hospital. So Suck My Kiss.
But these ones weren't quite crafty enough. That UPS truck you are looking at isn't exactly a UPS truck, but drug carrying vehicle painted to look like a UPS truck.
And those packages you are looking at aren't really packages, but a stack of weed. And not just a stack. 2,118 pounds of weed. The DEA says the street value of one pound of marijuana is $1,000. So, yeah.
What's kind of interesting about this truck full of pot is all the weed was in little backpack like things that people carried through the desert to put it on the truck. So a bunch of little guys walked through the desert with weed filled backpacks.
When an Arizona Department of Public Safely detective and his drug sniffing dog approched the truck, the driver jumped out and took off. And he escaped!
If you care, you can check out some more pictures of this fake truck right ---> here.
Noel Gallagher of Oasis, pictured with baby, has kind of an interesting reason why he sniffed, popped and smoked everything that could be back in the '90s. Because it was "fucking brilliant."
Me: "?????????????????"
Anyways here's Noel:
"I never needed to be on drugs. I just wanted to be on drugs because it was fucking brilliant. But then there came a point where I didn't want this anymore. So I wanted to be straight."
“Drugs brainwash you into thinking you can't survive without them. I was never in a mess mentally or physically. I have the constitution of a large ox."
Noel also went on to reminisce on 1994 to 1998: "I don't remember any of it."
(ps I think I might go see Oasis in Oakland tonight so I'll let ya know.)
We try and appriciate science around here. Not that we like to participate,but we're happy the scientists are out there doing things we don't havethe patience, motivation or desire to ever actually accomplish. Likefor instance, without scientists we wouldn't have just discovered thegene that increases the chances of cocaine addiction. I always thoughtcocaine addiction was just a side effect of doing a lot of cocaine. Butno! It's actually a genetic condition. According to the scientists:
"Addicts were 25 per cent more likely to carry the gene variant than non-users of the drug, a study has found.
Scientists now hope the gene could be used to screen for people who are most likely to get hooked if they ever try cocaine."
Personally I just say don't do cocaine and you won't have to worry about it. But that's only me.
Here's something to make your Monday better! Lily Allen scolding you on alcohol and drugs. Just what you need after the weekend, right?
This video came at just the right time for me. I'm going surfing early, going to bed early, drinking tea at night... oh yeah lovin' it. I've only been doing it for two days, but still. Anyways so yeah the thing I'm talking about is this teaser clip to Lily Allen's new video 'Everyone's At It' - a look at how every friggin' person is on pills or booze or drugs or whatever. It stars Kate Moss, Pete Doherty, David Hasslehoff and all kinds of drunks 'n druggies. Take it however you want. I'm on a mission so I don't even care.
I love Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew because the addicts are so frigging funny. They say the funniest sh!t I swear. But sometimes there are some pretty heavy moments. Check out this clip of former Guns 'n Roses drummer Steven Adler. It's hilarious at times - like when he's smoking a jont and singing "Roll roll roll the joint, twist it at the end. Spark it up and get fucked up and pass it to a friend" - but you also see how horrible drugs are. He tried to kill himself by taking 100 valium, a bottle of Jager, and shooting up heroin. Instead of dying, he got a stroke and now he talks with a lisp. Great.
Sex for Cocaine = Coke Whore, correct? Cuz that's what Marcia Brady did for years back in the day. Well that makes me not feel so bad about myself. Marcia, real name Maureen McCormicksays she was rediculously addicted to drugs when she was a young actress. She spent night after night awake and on coke binges.
Cute little Marcia says she used to sleep with a dealer for the hook-up. One time, at the Playboy Mansion, she let some old guy film her naked doing all kinds of crazy shit so he would give her some drugs. Another time she was partying at Sammy Davis Jr's mansion and there was a bowl of amyl nitrate pills - whatever that is - on the table and she just started popping them. Sammy Sammy Sammy. Here's Marcia:
"I sought refuge in seemingly glamorous cocaine dens above Hollywood. I thought I would find answers there, while in reality I was simply running farther from myself. From there, I spiralled downward on a path of self-destruction that cost me my career and very nearly my life."
"Over the years I battled drug addiction and bulimia. I was treated in a psych ward, went in and out of rehab, and looked to God for answers."
She's also admitted to having lesbo sex with another actress on the show.
Shit I feel like a Catholic School Boy! And I'm not good!
For the record Pete Dohertysays he's not smoking crack out of the glass pipe that looks like a crack pipe when the girl behind him says "I thought you'd given all that up" and then dumps a bucket of water on his head. He even made a follow up video, called "Crack? Crack crack crack crack crack, you presumption...", that I guess was supposed to say stop presuming he's smoking crack.
So anyways if you want to watch this little mini-series of crack videos go over to Pete's YouTube page and check them out. Right ---> here.
