Eva Mendes looking a little worse for wear at the premiere of ‘Baaria’ and the opening ceremony of the 66th Venice Film Festival.

Did someone party a little too hard the night before? Sure looks like it.

Since her rehab stint back in February 2008 for ’substance abuse problems’, I can’t help but raise a skeptical eye every time I see her looking a little hungover. I know I am going to take some flack for this, but honestly, I still think she has a drug problem.

If you remember, back when Eva checked herself into rehab there was a huge buzz that she had suffered a cocaine miscarriage beforehand. It was the miscarriage that caused her to seek treatment. But by the looks of things, I’d say it was all for nothing.

Check out this crazy blind item that was later revealed to be Mendes about a bizarre visit to Starbucks a couple years ago.

Holy hell Lily!

What did you snort – or smoke?! Just look at those geeked out eyes!

These pics remind me of those “Faces of Meth” posters. Eyes bugging out, pale skin, zombie-like expression..

I’ve seen lots of photos of Lily over the years and never once have I seen pics of her like this! If I didn’t know better, I would say that Lily was on a three-day bender here. Why she would be buying food at a store, I have no idea. But clearly something is NOT right.

Lily has commented about cocaine a few times, once saying that she knows “lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all. But we never heard that side of the story. I wish people wouldn’t sensationalize it. Some people are just bad at taking drugs.”

Such a naive comment . . . and something you’d likely hear a user say. By the looks of these pics, I’d say Lily is just bad at taking drugs.

DJ AM admitted in an MTV interview that month that crack cocaine was his drug of choice.

He claimed to have had 11 years sober in the July 29, 2009 video.

Police have since stated that a baggie of crack was found next to his body. It is believed that a recent breakup caused him to start using again.

Melanie Griffith is currently in rehab

Melanie Griffith, 52, has checked into a rehab center for treatment of a drug addiction.

Her publicist, Robin Baum, confirmed reports that Griffith is seeking treatment at the Cirque Lodge in Utah, a popular rehab center for the rich and famous.

Baum eluded to the fact that this stint (one of many over the years for Melanie) is part of an ongoing treatment plan by her doctors. However, I find it odd that checking into a rehab clinic would be part of a “maintenance plan”, so I call B.S.

She says: “She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago.”

Of course she is going to say that. That is her job, damage control. Not that I blame Melanie for wanting us to think that she is simply going in for her 60,000 mile overhaul. She’s probably embarrassed by her addiction being so out in the open.

Nine years ago Griffith admitted to having a prescription drug problem, she says that stemmed from a neck injury. Funny how everyone says their drug problem is “prescription drugs”, ALWAYS caused by some sort of ghost injury. 75% of Hollywood are raging blow whores but you never hear anyone say they are going to rehab for cocaine. And no, I’m not hinting that Melanie is a cokehead (even though I am pretty sure she did her fair share back in the day) I’m just sayin’…

Painkillers and muscle relaxers are served in candy dishes among Tinseltown’s elite. And everyone has a doctor they know will write them a script. So it’s really no surprise that so many people (like Anna Nicole Smith) get hooked on them.

I do wish Mel the best and hope she kicks her habit…whatever it may be.

Eric Dane and wife Rebecca Gayheart are the latest celebs to have a sex tape scandal!

The couple hooked up with Kari Ann Peniche, former Miss Teen USA turned Playboy model, in what appears to be a video of a drug induced threesome.

In the footage, [link below] cocaine is brought up by Eric, (as he is coming up with alter-ego names) and at one point Rebecca says she is so high that she has to lay down. It looks like the sun has already come up in the bedroom window, but a lamp in the bedroom is still on, indicating that they have been up all night.

The video, originally 13-minutes long, was edited down to just under 4-minutes by the lovely folks at Gawker. They added that Fleshbot will have the full unedited video up shortly. At one point Rebecca is filming her husband, naked on the bed lying next to Kari Ann, and later Eric is filming the two women in a bathtub.

No sexual acts are seen in the footage, the video itself was most likely filmed before things got crazy in the bedroom. But really, there is no question in my mind that these three had quite the little romp once they got all the formalities out of the way.

Some think that the credit card number that Kari Ann is heard reading off on the telephone was the married couple’s way of “paying” her. In other words, she wasn’t exactly free. Hardly shocking if true. She is a super skank. And also a sex addict. Kari Ann was reportedly a cast member of Dr. Drew’s “Celebrity Rehab” Sex Addiction show that is currently filming, but according to Gawker, was kicked off for being an all around crack-whore.

From Gawker:

Recently she [Kari Ann Peniche] was thrown off Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab (where she was being treated for sex addiction) amidst back-and-forth accusations that she punched out a cameraman, entertained unsavory drug dealer types at the Sun Valley sober house, and stole money and personal belongings from her roommate, country singer Mindy McCready.

Ooooh, looks like that’ll be a good show! Sounds like this bitch will give Seth Binzer, a.k.a. Shifty Shellshock, a run for his money! Heh. (For more infor on Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew go here.)

Another thing that Gawker brought to the table was a photo/article that the National Enquirer had published in June of Rebecca holding a crackpipe while sitting naked in a bathtub with an unidentified female. Looks like this is nothing new for Becs.

So all in all, this whole sex video scandal thing is just more of what goes on in Hollywood on a daily basis. Sex, drugs, rock n’ roll.

Oh, and let’s not forget the biggest one…DENIAL.

Watch the video on Gawker here.

While on vacation in St Tropez, Lily Allen and Kate Moss were spotted smoking a spliff on a yacht.

Ok, so they were reefing on a joint, big deal, right? Well, what would you say if they were smoking right next to Kate’s 6-year-old daughter?

In the photo below that’s exactly what they are doing. Hopefully they weren’t chopping lines in front of her too..

Was Billy Mays a regular cocaine user?

That’s what autopsy results are reportedly showing. Mays’ autopsy results were made public on Friday.

The medical examiner says he found proof that Mays used cocaine a few days before his death on June 28th, and says there is evidence that cocaine use may have “contributed to the development of heart disease.”

Also found in his system were painkillers, anti-anxiety medication and alcohol.

Mays’ wife, Deborah, is outraged at the findings, insisting that her husband did not do illegal drugs, and that the only meds he was using were painkillers for a hip problem.

She blasted the medical examiner saying that his findings were “speculative, and frankly unnecessary.” She plans on hiring an independent expert to investigate.

She released a statement about the claims of cocaine use by her husband:

“Billy suffered from chronic, untreated hypertension. Given the hectic nature and pace of Billy’s life, especially during the past 10 months of his exhaustive travel across the country, it was not surprising to hear that hypertension was the cause of his death.”

I highly doubt that the medical examiner would lie about such findings. Yes, Billy apparently did suffer from untreated heart disease, a condition that when mixed with cocaine can have deadly consequences.

Billy may have used behind his wife’s back, and right now she is in total denial.  OR she is just putting up a front to protect her husband’s honor. If he did cocaine, she most likely did it too. Either way, both scenarios are entirely possible.

Friends of Mischa Barton were concerned about the actress committing suicide after a three-day long cocaine bender – we are learning that this was the reason for her hospitalization last week.

Police were called to the actress’ home on Wednesday after friends became concerned that Mischa was suicidal. She was reportedly blitzed out of her mind on cocaine at the time.

She was taken to a psychiatric ward and held under a “5150″. By law, a 5150 patient can be held against their will for up to 72 hours. They are considered to be high risk for harming themselves or others.

The incident caused Barton to miss the premiere of her new film, “The Homecoming”.

A source allegedly close to Barton told the New York Post: “She’s in very bad shape. She’s running out of money and can’t find love, so now she is looking for a good time to escape her misery. She is on a downward spiral. She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess.”

Recently Mischa has been seen looking terribly bloated and nothing like her usual self. These series of events lead some to believe the actress may already be washed up at the tender age of 23.

But isn’t that just so Hollywood. Everyone does coke, but if you get too strung out, or caught with it, you’re an outcast. When secretly, behind the scenes and in bathrooms across L.A. nearly everyone is doing it..

Ryan Ross is responding to a “cocaine picture” making the rounds on the internet of he and a few “friends” in an intimate setting.

Ross, formerly of Panic! at the Disco, is seen on a couch with a group of female friends, surrounded by bottles of booze, a pack of smokes and yes, chopped up cocaine.

But if you heard the story from Ross himself you’d think it was an innocent tea party.

“I planned the whole thing!” he jokes, then says, “No, it a couple of weeks ago. I do remember, believe it or not. I’m not gonna tell you whose house it was at, but yeah, there was a party the night before, and I slept on the couch, and we took a picture. I didn’t even really know it (the cocaine) was there.”

Yeah sure, slept on the couch, my ass! They were up doing coke all night is more like it! Puh-leese. I mean, the freaking sun is coming up outside.

Ross says that the girls in the photo were friends of his and that one of them accidentally leaked the scandalous pic on her Facebook page: “I think one of the girls put the picture on her Facebook, and was like, ‘Oh my God, I didn’t even know it was on the table,’ and then I don’t know what happened. But I think they got in more trouble than I did.”

Ok, so they might not have known the cocaine made it into the picture but I promise that they both knew about the coke at the “party”.

A publicist’s famous last words: “Deny, deny, deny!”
