Wait... you mean celebrities use DRUGS?

DID YOU KNOW! that Roger Waters stopped doing LSD after he found himself in the middle of traffic? IT'S TRUE!

Pink Floyd guitarist Roger Waters has vowed never to use drugs again following a near-death experience while using acid.

The rocker took the hallucinogenic LSD while staying at the Hotel Chelsea in New York and, shortly after, discovered he had stepped in front of traffic in the middle of Eighth Avenue, according to New York gossip column PageSix.

Mark Blake, author of Pink Floyd biography Comfortably Numb, explains, "He found himself frozen, unable to move. It was his last experience with the drug."

And DID YOU KNOW! that Lost star Naveen Andrews used to be hooked on SMACK?

The actor who plays Sayid on the popular TV show said: "There was a danger of me copping it… I lost two years to heroin.

"I was able to work; I don't know how I did it. You can take incredible abuse and still work… I collapsed on a job because of booze."

Andrews also revealed how he was warned of his behaviour while filming The English Patient.

"The turning point was I drove my son when I was drunk and he was scared, and that's when I decided to go into rehab in LA," he said.

And this may come as a COMPLETE SHOCK, but DID YOU KNOW! that Snoop Dogg enjoys MEDICAL MARIJUANA?

We fear that after Snoop's flawless performance as a warm and fuzzy "gangsta" on Larry King this past Friday, the ol' suspendered geezer/legend is gonna call one of his 89 doctors and request some of this "medical marijuana" Snoop waxes silkily about in this clip. In the final moments of the show, King, as usual, saves the only question we actually care about for last: Snoop, what's the deal with you and this 'pot' you continuously speak of? After a stoned-out-of-his-gourd grin, the father of three responds with, "I'm on medical marijuana as we speak." Righteous!

What do all these important celebrity tidbits have in common? PRACTICALLY NOTHING! But I came home tonight, found all three of those stories sitting open in Firefox tabs, and decided it must be a sign - you can have celebrity drug news in today's world that does not involve Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. Plus that guy from Lost is a stone fox!

not sure whether this is the appropriate pace or space in which to be noting this but, in any case, file under "with friends like this, who needs enemies...?": during a recent marathon session with "The Beatles Anthology", I found it amusing/bemusing when Fra Harrison stated (from the comfort of his well-heeled dotage, no doubt) that he stopped taking the "dread lysergic" when, upon gazing at a drop of the stuff under a microscope, he discovered that it resembled a "piece of old rope", and wouldn't want that swimming 'round in yer brain, doncha know.....a bit disingenuous, that, considering that most molecules when viewed "up close and personal" have that ropy, intertwining thing goin' for 'em. init?

Yeah, he has a severe case of "I-can-afford-to-do-whatever-I-want". :)
