Man, I want to know who America Ferrera's stylist is. That young woman has been looking absolutely fabulous in her red carpet appearances lately. Perhaps some of the stick-figures should take notice...

Have they buried James Brown yet? If not, can I suggest a pool on who gets buried first, him or Anna Nicole?

Paula claims she's never been drunk. Does she call it something different? Blotto or twisted, perhaps?
Isn't methadone what heroine addicts use to kick the habit? I didn't think it had other uses and difinately not for a pregnant woman.

if ANS's lawyer/boyfriend/baby daddy was allowing all this to occur, that baby surely doesn't belong with him, even if he is the father...
Maybe Paula calls it "finding my happy place."

This whole ANS stuff is getting truly unbelievable. It is so disgusting the way everyone is jumping on the litigation bandwagon in hopes of getting their hands on her potential fortune. I don't think anyone's intentions are good in all of this - its like those lottery winners who suddenly have legions of family coming out of the woodwork in hopes of a handout. As obnoxious as I though ANS was during her lifetime, I can see some celebrities go off the deep end - they have to contend with bottom feeders like this.

Other uses of methadone - it's also a painkiller and may have off-label uses, too.

they really ought to put the baby in the witness protection program--give her a real family, a new identity.

How many celebs use "back pain" or "neck pain" as an excuse to pop Percocet or similar?
And why don't they just say, "I was wasted, so sorry, end of story."

h3,
Thanks, I never knew it had other uses. I have to wonder about the doctor prescribing it during her pregnancy. That seems irresponsible.

"And why don't they just say, "I was wasted, so sorry, end of story."
And then go into rehab ... the latest celebrity trend for everything from addiction to homophobia, racism, whatever.

Oh God. I think Paula meant to say "I've never been not drunk."
