Are celebrity rehab facilities effective?

So yesterday morning I couldn't peel myself away from my computer... How could Lindsey Lohan create such a crazy drama, packed with suspense on her own? If you own a TV, read the paper, or browse the internet, you must have heard by now about Looooooohan's 2nd DUI arrest in under 3 months. Talk about STUPIDITY at it's finest.



But seriously, everyone blames Lindsey because it's easy. However, I'm going to blame the ridiculous spa-resort Rehab centers. Either famous addicts go to rehab to "rehab" their image knowing very well they will not change their habits once they are free OR they truely want help and the rehab center fails to give it to them.

What do yo think? Are luxury rehab facilities significantly less effective or are the rich and famous reluctant to change?

I know this has little to do with diet, but it's a serious issue. Britney went to rehab and look at her right now. Great job Promises. Lindsey prolonged her stay in rehab and still could not resist the booze and drugs shortly after being released. Of course she is denying that the drugs were hers, but seriously Linds... no one believes you! There have been rumors about you doing blow for about 2 years now. Some one found your wallet with your license, black credit card, a rolled up dollar bill (maybe a $20, I forget) and a bag of cocaine. It was all over the internet, and before the days of your public outcries for help so, it was kept very under the radar.

I really think she wants help, but rehab in Malibu is not working, so celebrities... STOP GOING THERE if you're serious about getting clean.

Linday Lohan works out & Paris lies about weight

Happy Birthday 21st Lindsay Lohan! Not many people would've predicted the star of The Parent Trap would have already been in rehab twice before her she even became legal to have her first drink.

Amid reports that she will continue her time in rehab, she has been spotted working out in Malibu. Who would've thought that paparrazzi would actually follow celebrities getting their exercise in? In fact, we have seen a lot of pictures lately of the rich and famous leaving the gym, or even just working out in the public. At least Lohan is trying to live a healthy lifestyle, right?

In Paris Hilton news, the newly "reformed" heiress has been spotted vacationing in Hawaii. My brother is actually there right now on his very own honeymoon. I'm crossing my fingers that he spots Hilton, but he probably would rather he didn't. In most of the interviews they've asked her about what she ate and if she lost weight. On Larry King she said she didn't really lose any weight. Two or three pounds is what I think she said. In her exclusive interview with People magazine, she said the same thing except she said she lost 5 or 6 pounds, which should be noticeable since she wasn't big to begin with. Any way Paris, get your numbers right. You either didn't lose weight or you lost 5 pounds.

Pictures from her vacation in a bikini however, look like she may have gained weight. What do you guys think? Here is a picture from earlier in the year. She looks more toned. I would never post two pictures of a thin celebrity asking if you think she lost weight, BUT Paris is a liar. She lies about her weight all the time. She reportedly gains weight for more media attention and then will lose it for the attention again. I just don't get why she would lie about this sort of stuff like losing weight when she didn't. You didn't lose 5-6 pounds to one reporter and then tell another 2 or 3. It's just annoying.


Lastly, there are a bunch of pictures of Prince William's ex girlfriend, Kate Middleton from Sunday's concert for Princess Diana. She looks to me like she lost weight just like Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz after their very much public breakups with Ryan Phillippe and Justin Timberlake, respectively. I wish I was like these girls. Whenever something bad happens in my boy life, I reach for chocolate. How does one take the pain of being upset into losing weight? Seriously, some one tell me.

Kelly Clarkson meet Photoshop + Jessica's new body

I've been veering off track for quite some time now in this blog. I just get fed up talking about who lost 5 pounds, what diet Britney is on, who gained 20 pounds, etc. Well, I'm going to try and go back to my sarcastic ways and post about everyone's favorite tabloid ladies and what's going on in the world of weight loss or lack there of.

First we have Kelly Clarkson. I love (loved? I'm starting to fall off this bandwagon) the original American Idol, and don't really care about her weight. She is a singer, and should be in tabloids for things like canceling her tour instead of her ever fluctuating weight but that being said, have you seen the cover of this months Elle Magazine? They photoshopped Clarkson like CRAZY! Seriously, it's completely obvious and flat out ridiculous. Give the girl a break. First her album gets terrible reviews, she pulls the plug on her tour and now she's blatantly being called out by Elle Magazine that naturally she isn't good enough for their cover? She probably had no idea they did any of it until she saw the newsstand. It's weird how they can show a fuller figured celebrity (accompanied by a headline like, why our cover girl loves her shape) with almost all her natural curves but they can't feature Kelly as is. What's up with that?

Next we have of course, Ms. Lindsey Lohan who has been visiting the gym while spending time in rehab. I don't understand why this rehab center that I'm sure she paying over 1,000 a day to be in doesn't have a fitness room? I would think working out would be a part of rehab, detoxing, etc... Any way, I didn't think you were suppose to leave rehab for any reason, but maybe L.L. will find she likes the way exercising makes her body feel rather than drugs or alchohol. Does anyone know anything about rehab and working out? I hear it helps smokers kick the habit but not sure about drugs and booze.

Lastly, Jessica Simpson has been strutting her stuff around LA lately, showing her new body. Apparently she would like to get ripped for her next movie called "Major Movie Star." She looks really good in the picks. Simpson's weight does yo-yo but she is big into working out so she always has muscle on her and doesn't look scary gross (most of the time/in my opinion k?) I'm sure that one of these pictures is going to be the tabloids next week with how she lost weight. Expect new weight loss how-to guides based on Jessica in the up coming issues of US Weekly, In Touch, People, etc...
