Police: U. Alabama Football Player A Cocaine Dealer

Alabama Crimson Tide senior linebacker Jimmy Johns was dismissed from the football team and suspended from the University on Tuesday after being arrested on felony drug charges.

Johns was charged with five counts of distribution of cocaine and one count of possession of a controlled substance.

“Jimmy Johns has been dismissed from the team,” head coach Nick Saban said in a statement. “This type of behavior obviously will not be tolerated, and he is no longer a part of our program.”

Police began getting tips that Johns was involved in drug sales around the time the football team was conducting its spring practice, Capt. Jeff Snyder of the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force said. [The Crimson White]

If you’ve ever considered popping a few, snorting a few, smoking a few anything before meeting up with a new chick, check this video out first.

After dying from a cocaine and alcohol overdose last year, 19-year-old SDSU student Shirley ‘Jenny’ Poliakoff’s fate has been rectified after her death incited an investigation that resulted in yesterday’s massive drug-bust at San Diego State University. Ninety-six people were arrested, and a plethora of drugs and guns confiscated from six school fraternities.

“The biggest thing is that I’m glad something came of it,” Jenny’s older brother, Nate Poliakoff, who graduated from SDSU in ‘06, said in an interview with FOXNews.com. “After her death, we didn’t know there was an investigation going on, but I’m glad that the administration stepped up to the plate and said, we’re not going to tolerate this.”

Yeah, seriously. You know what would have been better? If they’d stepped up to the plate a year ago…

In fifth grade, I vowed to say No to Drugs. More correctly, I was forced to say “No”, or I would not be allowed to walk the stage at fifth grade graduation (which would have been social suicide).

So I did, and my little, naive fifth grade self truly believed that I would never take a shot of tequila, smoke a joint and I was absolutely never going to eat a fungus that grows on cow sh!@#t. Ever.

Let’s just say, without giving too much away, that my fifth grade self would probably be a little disappointed in my 21-year old self. Woops!

However, up until this point, whatever drugs I did choose to poison and/or pleasure my body with (depending on how you look at the situation), I always thought I had full control of when/where/how they were getting in my system. I was wrong.

An Associated Press investigation that spanned a five-month period found that 24 major metropolitan areas have drugs in their drinking water. Yes, the stuff that everyone claims is safe to drink and/or at least okay to use to wash our hands and rinse our mouths with after brushing. Well, it’s also teeming with a large range of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs – from sex hormones in San Fran to over 56 different types of pharmaceuticals and their byproducts in Philly.

Disgusted yet? It gets worse. Read More »

For years us British viewers have been bombarded with US shows that supposedly depict the lives of teenagers and British telly had never been able to compete…until now.

Skins exploded onto British television and into the consciousness of young viewers in late 2006 and early 2007. The raw energy, humour, wit, and intelligence of the show was unbelievable and never seen before. Skins deals with issues such as drugs, sexuality, race and the difficulties of growing up. It’s British youth culture to the max.

The fast-paced energy of Skins mimics the flow of hormones that surge in the blood of real teenagers. The issues and storylines are entertaining yet easy to relate to or emphasize with. The characters are far from the typical one-dimensional entity, with the writers really getting into the minds of the individual they have created, rather than simply having them ‘exist’. The episodes focus on one character, specifically on the issues they are battling with along with how they manage themselves in the real world. Read More »

Has it finally happened? Are people finally ready to stop taking cheap shots at Britney Spears (both literally and figuratively) and start locking her up?

Maybe, according to the swarm of paps:

You would think it was the night of Princess Di’s accident the way all forms of media clustered around the ambulance housing Britney Spears, who was under the influence of drugs when she was picked up for psychiatric evaluation, following refusal to turn over custody of her kids to K-Fed’s bodyguard.

It’s disgusting how out of control this situation has become.

Instead of continuing to see Spears as a perennial punching bag how about we all look at her for what she really is: a complete mess with two children taking zero responsibility for her actions. To think people still stick up for her makes me sick; her family should feel ashamed and halfway responsible. Britney Spears needs to be locked up and forgotten about, not empathized with.

What a perfect post to make at 4:20.

VH1, purveyors of poor taste, will add yet another reality show to their already-overstuffed repertoire in January, titled Celebrity Rehab. The show will feature drugged-up celebs fighting with addiction while playing up their troubles for the camera.

I know, I know - it all sounds a bit redundant, doesn’t it?

Entertainment is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but don’t front, snooty critics: watching former Grease star Jeff Conaway snort the drug of denial and that rapping dude from Crazy Town smoke crack - yes, crack - is pretty damn entertaining.

The cast of Celebrity Rehab will also reportedly star fallen angels Mary Carey, Chyna, Jessica Sierra, Daniel Baldwin and Brigitte Nielsen. What an ensemble!

I’m crossing my fingers for Pete Doherty to make a cameo.

Nothing says modesty better than rich, celebrity has-beens snorting and puffing themselves into oblivion, taping it for the world to see just to receive help and feel a sense of accomplishment.

Could it be?! Lindsay Lohan is a rehab success story? She’s come a long way since this or this and this and don’t forget about this or this and this.

Here are some recent pics so judge for yourself. Read More »
