Drug parties and Hollywood have been going on as long as there has been a Hollywood and entertainment industry centered therein.
The studios used to give stars like Judy Garland and Natalie Wood speed to keep them thin and barbituates to get them to sleep after all the speed.
The only difference now is, the "celebrities" getting loaded are famous for being famous, not talented.
And I liked the link to "
Courtney Love wants to help Pete Doherty get off drugs". What a great coincidence (?).
