Many people, including Rosie, have accused American Idol celebrity judge Paula Abdul of sipping more than Diet Coke from the big old red cup that sits on the desk in front of her. Their proof: slurring speech, ditzy behavior, and often erratic body movements.

But it's all hogwash, according to Paula who told Us Weekly, "I've never been drunk. I have never done recreational drugs. Just look at my 20-year career. Tell me someone who is into partying or doing drugs that could have done that."

There, she's said it. Of course, celebrities say lots of things, and deny tons more.

While I certainly have no moral issues with pot use, I've never understood why a person would wear a shirt with a huge pot leaf on it. I mean, I love blueberry waffles but I'm not going to wear a shirt with a picture of blueberry waffles on it, even though it would obviously be the coolest shirt ever. Of course, if you're trying to promote a TV show called Weeds you'll probably have a few pot leaves on your garments. Just don't tell the French.

While in Cannes, Lionsgate, which produces the Showtime series, had their booth visited by French officials, who confiscated boxes of shirts and caps with pot leaves on them, claiming they encourage drug use. The producers were asked to provide a script, an episode of the show, and a letter saying the garments do not promote drug use.

Lindsay Lohan says the article about her in last week's Vanity Fair magazine is full of lies. Specifically, about her having bulimia. The article says Lohan credits Lorne Micheals and Tina Fey for confronting her about her eating disorder after she hosted Saturday Night Live last spring. In it, she refers to watching herself on television and seeing just how grotesquely skinny her arms were. A statement released to Teen People by Lohan says "The words that I gave to the writer for Vanity Fair were misused and misconstrued, and I'm appalled with the way it was done." Teen People says the statement refers to the bulimia, not to the other major revelation in the story, that she has experimented with drugs. At this point, she has not denied the drug use. Vanity Fair stands by its interview and says the entire encounter is on tape.

So... I'm confused. How does a writer invent an intervention between Fey, Michaels and Lohan? What, exactly, was a lie? Miss Lohan, your statement sucks.

In a highly publicized interview with Vanity Fair magazine, 19-year-old Lindsay Lohan admits she has experimented with drugs and suffered from bulimia. She says she's over the drug use, and she credits Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels with saving her from the bulimia. After Lohan hosted SNL back in May, she says Michaels staged an intervention to confront her about her eating disorder. Lohan says, when Michaels confronted her, she started bawling and right away admitted her problem. She blames the stress of newfound fame, her break-up with That 70s Show's Wilmer Valderrama, and the nightmare divorce of her parents for causing her to go off the deep end.

Wow. It's honestly very refreshing to hear a teen idol admit she had a problem, and to hear that Lorne Michaels, of all people, stepped in to help. During his years at SNL, Lorne has seen too many celebrities on a downward spiral, and it's just so nice to hear that he tries to help people stop their self-destructive behavior before it's too late. Maybe he should book Nicole Richie next.
