Celebrities is fuckin' up!


This isn't really a big news item, more of a casual observation. These are the top three stories on imdb's news feed today:

Chappelle Hospitalized for Exhaustion
- American funnyman Dave Chappelle checked into a hospital this past weekend for exhaustion. The Chappelle's Show comedian, 33, was rushed to the emergency room of an unnamed hospital, where he remained for 12 hours before returning home. Earlier reports suggested Chapelle had suffered a drug-related medical problem and had checked into rehab, which his spokesperson has denied.

Baldwin Films Drug Recovery for News Special
- Movie star Daniel Baldwin has opened up about his cocaine addiction in a series of confessional video diaries, taped for news special Primetime. The actor agreed to be filmed at various points during his rehab recovery at the Renaissance Malibu facility in California for the news show, which aired in America on Tuesday night.

Lohan Wearing Alcohol Ankle Bracelet
- Lindsay Lohan has a new fashion accessory - an ankle bracelet that monitors alcohol intake. The actress checked out of rehab this past weekend after addressing her alcohol-related issues, but she has chosen to prove she intends to stay away from booze by monitoring her drinking. Lohan will voluntarily wear the alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet for the foreseeable future, according to the actress' publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik.


Now, we're not naive enough to think that we wouldn't also fall victim to the trappings of celebrity, but don't most of them seem to have some serious problems? Our most serious problem is trying to figure out if we should sell our old Xbox on Craigslist or just take the meager trade-in value from Gamestop. The best part of our trip to imdb today? After their three lead stories comes your regular David Beckham update.
