In Mixed Bag, we collect those odds and ends, for a multimedia compilation of pop culture crap.



1.) Moms and Their Boxed Wine
After staging an intervention for her son, this woman's family then staged one for her over her Xanax addiction. She didn't want to go to rehab because of the its strict no-alcohol policy.


2.) Does Joan Rivers realize that perhaps she's gone too far with the cosmetic procedures?


3.) Did you like the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion shows?


But it sucks that they never revealed what exactly Danielle "tried" to do to Dina that Caroline was freaking out about. From the way Caroline told it, Danielle took a hit out on her. But that doesn't seem realistic. Danielle sort of hinted at what it might on her blog:

I had no idea at the time what "disgraceful" acts she was referring to. I only found out later what she was talking about, from someone in her own family. I simply gave a phone number to her ex brother-in-law to contact proper people with questions that he had concerning something that was absolutely none of my business. I was asked to give this information to him.

4.) Cop Without a Badge Guy Talks
Danielle's ex-husband, Kevin Maher, who gave up all the dirt on her in "The Book" was on The Insider talking about how Danielle is "a bisexual." She didn't really deny it though.


5.) Promise Piercings
Kids are expressing their love for each other in new and different ways, like piercings…


…And emails.





6.) More Kid Stuff
NYC Prep was alright, but not great, IMO. But I did really like this girl, who is friends with one of the cast members, but not part of the cast herself. She's down town/to earth.


She seems tipsy.


And I love the way she communicates.


7.) Snoop's Statement On Michael Jackson


8.) Snoop Getting Off The Phone




9.) Larry King And "My daddy, P. Daddy"



10.) Reading: With Kathie Lee & Hoda

<![CDATA[35 Celebrities Who Smoke Pot]]> Over the weekend, a picture of Michael Phelps smoking a bong was made public. What's the big deal? It's not like he's the first (or last) celeb to toke.

This morning on The View, Elisabeth Hasselbeck was all bent out of shape about Phelps' bong hit, giving the tired spiel about how he's a role model and he's setting a bad example, blah blah blah. She went on to claim that since he's willing to use illegal drugs to have a good time, maybe he's open to using illegal drugs to advance his career, as though weed is a gateway drug to steroids or something. Whoopi shot her down pretty quickly, and admitted to enjoying pot.

Elisabeth's argument hinged on the fact that Phelps accepts money to endorse products. One of those is Rosetta Stone, the language-learning software, which is just about one of the most sedentary activities a stoner could enjoy, aside from watching The Wizard of Oz on mute while playing The Dark Side of the Moon. (I should know, since I've been using the program to learn Spanish.) His other sponsors, like Omega and Speedo, totally don't give a shit.

And they shouldn't, because it's silly — in my opinion, anyway — to pass judgment on those who take part in something as innocuous as pot smoking, which many believe is lot less harmful for one's body than alcohol. Besides, despite the fact that it's technically illegal, so many people smoke weed recreationally that it's not all that taboo. Here's a list of celebrities who have either been caught smoking marijuana, or admit willingly to doing so.

Woody Harrelson



Woody is an activist for the legalization of marijuana and hemp.

Willie Nelson



So is Willie Nelson.

Frances McDormand



Frances McDormand was on the cover of High Times in May 2003, in which she said, "I'm a recreational pot-smoker. There has never been enough of a distinction between marijuana and other drugs. It's a human rights issue, a censorship issue, and a choice issue."

Seth Rogen & James Franco



The pair stared in Pineapple Express together, and shared this maybe real/maybe fake joint on stage while presenting an award during the MTV Movie Awards last summer.

Cameron Diaz & Drew Barrymore



Also friends who share.

Justin Timberlake



Timberlake, who used to date Diaz, has been very open about how he smokes weed, sometimes even with is mother. He also admitted that he was stoned out of his mind when he was Punk'd by Ashton Kutcher.

Kimora Lee Simmons



Kimora Lee Simmons took one of the stoniest mugshots after she was arrested in 2004 for possession.

Nicole Richie



Nicole admitted to having smoked pot, as well as taking a Vicodin, when she was arrested for a DUI charge in 2007.

Paris Hilton



Nicole's buddy Paris' reefer madness has been well documented.

Michelle Phillips



Former singer from The Mamas & The Papas said as recently as 2001 that, "Marijuana should definitely be legalized. I think we should let everyone smoke it without fear of being thrown in jail. It's the greatest drug in the world!"

Snoop Dogg



Duh.

Redman



We'll be here all day if we start listing rappers.

Lil Wayne



But we'll mention Wayne for good measure.

Mariah Carey



Mariah is such a goody-two-shoes that she'd never publicly admit to marijuana use, but on her most recent album, she made plenty of weed references.

Charlize Theron



Academy Award winners like their weed, too.

AARP



In the summer of 2005, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) hosted a smoke-in to promote the legalization of marijuana. Celebrities that participated: Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson (obvs), Bette Midler, Santana, Chicago, David Crosby and Graham Nash, Rod Stewart, The New Jefferson Starship, Tony Orlando, Ringo Starr, Tommy Chong, Snoop Dogg, and Robert Downey Jr.

Matthew McConaughey



When McConaughey gets loose, he does so with bongos.

Dionne Warwick



Her work with Burt Bacharach was way too mellow to not be under the influence.

Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown



They've got "Something in Common."

Sarah Silverman



Sarah speaks favorably about weed in her act, and smoked with Doug Benson in his movie Super High Me.

Doug Benson



Comedian Doug Benson has centered much of his career around pot.

Oliver Stone



He has the perfect name for someone who's been busted for pot on numerous occasions.

Dawn Wells



Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island was arrested last year for possession.

Dave Chappelle


The Pointer Sisters



Oliver Hudson tells a story about his first concert-going experience, during which the Pointer Sisters were getting blazed.

Paul Dinello



It's hard to watch this Strangers With Candy clip about smoking pot without thinking that writer/actor Paul Dinello believes what he is saying.

Barbra Streisand



In a 1972 Rolling Stone interview, Babs said, "I'd take out a joint and light it. First, just faking it. Then I started lighting live joints, passing them around to the band, you know. I was great, it relieved all my tensions. And I ended up with the greatest supply of grass ever. Other acts up and down the Strip heard about what I was doing - Little Anthony and the Imperials, people like that - and started sending me the best dope in the world. I never ran out."

<![CDATA[Snoop Dogg On 'Martha': A Gizzle Thizzle]]> We're not going to spill any digital ink describing Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg as unlikely compadres. After all, if you can't see how these two herb-aficionado ex-cons fit snuggly into the same gangsta pod—both enjoying nothing more than kicking back after a long day of baking and wreath-construction with a blunt the size of a corncob and getting fucked up for real in this bitch—then you probably don't deserve to be here. On today's Martha, Snoop popped by. Martha introduced him by reading aloud her many correspondences from the hip-hop titan:

· "Hello Martha. It's Snoop Dogg. What did you do? Hit me back when you get a moment. Stay sweet."
· "Hey, M.S. It's Snoop Dogg says hi and seein' how you doing. Hollah back. Boo."
· "I would love to hang out with you whenever time permits. I dig your style, M.S. For real, for real. So hit me back when you are free for me. Be sweet and stay [blank blank]. Yours truly, Snoop Dogg."

They then moved on to that time-tested gangsta dick-measuring contest known as comparing posses—his is more physically intimidating, but hers are far better at frothing egg whites—before diving into the potato-mashing task at hand. HuffPo has the video.

<![CDATA[Snoop To Larry King: 'I'm on Medical Marijuana as we speak']]> 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! We just hope that producers from the Martha Stewart show were watching. After all, can you imagine a more awesome hour of television than Martha and Snoop making and eating a whole plate of pot brownies?

<![CDATA[Snoop Dogg Cordially Invites Bill O'Reilly To Smoke His Pole]]>
Multi-hyphenate hip-hop impresario Snoop Dogg made an appearance on a Dutch television recently, in which the interviewer asked the noted weed and firearms aficionado to touch upon the subject of Bill O'Reilly, the Fox News host who had once ambushed his lawyer/background singer/honey-at-arms with accusations that Snoop was selling drugs. Snoop is quick to dispense with all diplomacy in sharing his thoughts about the News Corp puppet, including one spirited request for O'Reilly to perform a specific sex act that was met with the rapturous applause of the lily-whitest audience of fellow legal-weed enthusiasts Dogg had encountered since his surprise appearance during the "Calvacade of Stoner Stars" portion of a Willie Nelson Save-the-Hemp Foundation benefit concert in late '04.

<![CDATA[Burbank Police Use Hot Tip From TV Guide Channel To Ambush Snoop Dogg After 'Tonight Show' Appearance]]> snoopdogg-tonight - DefamerRapper Snoop Dogg's ongoing research-gathering mission into the inner workings of the LA criminal justice system returns to the scene of the crime (the Oct. 26 crime, to be exact, when he was arrested for possession of guns and weed at the Burbank airport, not to be confused with his Sept. 27 arrest at the Santa Ana airport for carrying a "deadly weapon"), when officers descended on the rapper as he left the NBC studios parking lot after an appearance on The Tonight Show:

The rapper was arrested for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possessing cocaine, transporting marijuana and having a false compartment in his vehicle, Grandalski said.

"He was in a car pulling out of the studio" when police stopped him, said Donald Etra, the rapper's attorney. [...]

He made bail of $60,000 and was released shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, about seven hours after his arrest.

Something in the Burbank penal system needs to change, as whatever correctional measures they are attempting to enact now on the renegade rapper seem not to be working. On the contrary—each subsequent arrest seems to see Snoop upping the weapon and drug possession ante, to the point where the Doggfather and his entourage will soon find themselves pulled over on the 5 and being made to answer an officer's pointed questions as to why their caravan of Escalades come equipped with custom hood-mounted flame throwers, and horse trailers modified into mobile coca mulching labs hitched to the rear bumpers.

<![CDATA[Snoop Dogg Arrested At Burbank Airport, Maintains Guns And Weed Are Neither Liquids Nor Gels]]> snoop-burbank - DefamerFor some reason, rear-entry-popularizing spoken-wordsmith Snoop Dogg and airports don't mix; perhaps it's the airports' fault, stemming from their long-standing and well-documented biases against people who carry firearms and large Ziploc bags of weed on their person. Whatever the case, in an unfortunate turn of events that hearkens back to a Bobby-and-bodyguard pile-on incident at Heathrow last spring, the rapper was arrested yesterday at the Burbank airport on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession:

The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was arrested at 3:45 p.m. Thursday at Bob Hope Airport, police said. Snoop Dogg posted $35,000 bail and was scheduled to appear in court Dec. 12.

Airport police officers stopped Snoop Dogg at a loading zone for a vehicle code violation. When officers searched the vehicle they found a gun and marijuana, police said.

"There was no basis for this arrest," the rapper's attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement. "We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed."

That's a brass-ballsy, and some might say outrageous, statement, especially considering Etra's client was found with multiple smoking-things-whose-presence -infer-ironclad-guilt. Still, he may be able to back up his claim, if he can successfully convince a judge of his planned defense: that the contraband items belonged not to the hip-hop superstar, but to a mangy stray who happened to wander off a Burbank sidewalk to join his prize-winning collection of pedigree show-ho's.

<![CDATA[Snoop Dogg And Crew's Heathrow Brawl]]> snoop-mug - DefamerJust when you thought he had been all but effectively neutered by the showbiz establishment, Hollywood's Cuddliest Gangster, Snoop Dogg, has reverted back to his thug-life roots. In about as unfair a battle royale pairing as we can imagine, the hip-hop star and his entourage of over 30 hulking Snoopettes pummeled a small army of British Airways staff and London's nightstick-twirling finest after being refused entry to the VIP lounge at Heathrow:

He is claimed to have screamed at staff and thrown bottles of duty-free whisky after his 30-strong entourage was refused entry to the British Airways lounge at Terminal 1. Only three were said to hold first-class tickets. All were subsequently refused entry to their aircraft and banned from travelling with BA.

Police were called and were escorting the group away when another disturbance broke out. One of the officers suffered a broken hand and others had cuts and bruises. [...]

An airport employee, who asked not to be named, said: "There were all these huge 20-stone men smashing up display cabinets and throwing people around. I saw Snoop Dogg on the ground with four police trying to put him in handcuffs. His minders were throwing bottles of duty-free at people. Then the police used pepper spray on them."

The melee will undoubtedly make the rapper a local antihero for a segment of disenfranchised English youth who still adhere to the precepts of the punk dogma. But we can't help but mourn the fact that any chances of a "Sir Snoop" knighting ceremony presided over by the Queen have been all but effectively negated by the regrettable actions of the cultural ill-will ambassador and his Bobby-tossing henchmen.
