In a preview of the infamous interview, Rolling Stone reveals that Adam: (1) admits he’s gay; (2) is “trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader;” and (3) auditioned for American Idol after a “drug-fueled Burning Man epiphany.”
Popsquire has three responses to Adam’s respective admissions: (1) duh; (2) maybe he’ll reconsider and join Drew Barrymore at the next anti-Prop 8 rally; and (3) he should be careful about admitting to engaging in illegal activity. Just a friendly, lawyerly observation.
PS: It’s illegal to sell python skin in California. Just a warning.

A Los Angeles judge sentenced Redmond O’Neal to locked-down rehab for one year for two drug possession charges. Redmond pleaded guilty last June to drug possession and, in September, police found meth in his house during a routine check-up. As part of this sentence, Redmond will attend one-on-one counseling sessions, group counseling, and submit to random drug tests.
Next up: Redmond still faces criminal proceedings stemming from last month’s arrest when he allegedly visited an inmate with heroin in his possession.
Check out this trailer for Steve-O’s upcoming documentary-style MTV special, which promises to shed light on the former Jackass star’s collisions with the law and drug addiction.
Jamie Waylett, who plays wizard bully Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter franchise, may need some legal magic.
The actor was arrested in London last Thursday after police pulled him over and allegedly found eight bags of pot in his car. Police later searched his home and reportedly found a cannibas farm. If convicted, Jamie can face up to 14 years in jail.
And, yes, the puns are way too easy:
Will Waylett’s career go to the pot?
He’s putting the pot in Potter.
This is not a career high.
Maybe a judge will let him off easy for being green?
Coolio was arraigned today in Los Angeles and pleaded not guilty on charges of felony possession of cocaine base, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor possession of a smoking device.
As a reminder, Coolio was arrested in early March when LAX airport security allegedly found drugs in his bags and the rapper grabbed one of the screener’s arms in an attempt to stop the search. For weekend reading, check out this long list of celebs who have been in trouble with the law for drugs.
No surprises here. Matt Lauer had to ask whether Michael Phelps was smoking pot, and the Olympic hero had to dodge the question. Of course, a seasoned lawyer could have gotten the answer out of him…
Coolio is expected to be arraigned on April 3, just three days shy of Chris Brown’s arraignment.
Instead of beating up his girlfriend, however, Coolio will be arraigned on charges of felony possession of cocaine base, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor possession of a smoking device. He was arrested last week at LAX after airport security allegedly found drugs in his bags and the rapper grabbed one of the screener’s arms in an attempt to stop the search.
While we await the April court date, check out this long list of celebs who have been in trouble with the law for drugs. It’s time they stop singing about rehab and actually go to it!
After arresting eight people who attended the November party where the infamous Phelps bong photo was taken, Richland County sheriff Leon Lott announced today that his investigation failed to produce enough evidence to prosecute anyone, including Phelps. Here is what Phelps had to say:
“I’m glad this matter is put to rest. But there are also some important lessons that I’ve learned. For me, it’s all about recognizing that I used bad judgment and it’s a mistake I won’t make again. For young people especially – be careful about the decisions you make. One bad decision can really hurt you and the people you care about.”
One fallen hero story resolved. Stick around to see what happens to A-Rod and Chris Brown…
Getting suspending from swimming and losing an endorsement deal is looking kinda good right now…
Since media attention swarmed all over pictures of Michael Phelps smoking pot at a South Carolina party, Sheriff Leon Lott began building a criminal case. First, he indicated a desire to pursue legal action against Phelps. Now, his department has arrested eight people connected to the party where Phelps was caught smoking: seven for drug possession and one for distribution. The department also has located and confiscated the infamous bong, which apparently was on auction at eBay for $100,000!
Many people want to blame the Sheriff for this, but Popsquire blames the photographer. If that person didn’t take and sell the picture, none of this would be happening. The Sheriff can’t ignore illegal activity just because an Olympic athlete is involved.
Phelps has not been arrested. Popsquire will keep you posted.
Upon returning to the USA next week, Popsquire may have to call the police on Tina Fey, because she’s threatening to perform illegal acts! Tina says her 30 Rock character “might accidentally roofie” Mad Men’s John Hamm because she’s so smitten with him during his three-episode arc, which starts next week. Enjoy this sneak peek!
Colin Farrell provided one of last night’s most comical collisions between pop culture and law. While presenting an award, he sniffed and quickly explained it was due to a cold, “not the other thing it used to be.” In legal terms, this may be considered an admission of guilt! Watch below…
One of Amy Winehouse’s drug dealers is going to jail, jail, jail.
Johnny Blagrove and Cara Burton, who previously admitted in a London court that they offered to sell ecstasy and cocaine to Amy, have been sentenced. Johnny was given a two year jail sentence, while his girlfriend Cara Burto received two years of community service.
Beware: Some people may not be able to handle Bobby Brown’s truth!
Bobby is the subject of a new semi-unauthorized autobiography, “Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But…,” in stores now. The book, which began with Bobby’s cooperation but is now considered “unauthorized,” details Bobby’s rise and fall, including his many run-ins with the law for allegations of domestic abuse, failing to pay child support, and drunk driving.
During interviews with the author, Bobby revealed that his drug use was so bad that he pretended to be Scarface:
“I had a desk like Scarface’s in my room, and I kept [cocaine] piled up on it…Every time I walked past my desk, I’d make a line of coke from one end to the other. I’d take a straw and snort a line the same way Scarface did it in the movie. You couldn’t tell me nothing. I felt like I was Tony Montana! The world was mine! I never had to look for coke; I kept it plentiful. There was times when I went on my binges and would lock myself up in a room for days at a time just getting high.”
Britney Spears’ dancers must not be using Toxic drugs!
Britney Spears’ camp is requiring that all of her backup dancers submit to drug tests in order keep away negative influences. “They all had to be drug tested and, if they didn’t pass, they were fired,” a source says.
Note to Britney: While Popsquire supports keeping out druggies and negative influences, there are numerous laws that govern drug testing of employees. In California, for example, it may be considered an invasion of privacy to require drug testing of current employees. Let’s hope you complied with the law!
