Hollywood's 'Babysitters' Watch the Stars

IT was just another day on a movie set. An actor, who was struggling with alcoholism, asked a maid to bring him water. When she returned, the star's "sober companion" intervened, smelling the substance.

"The bottle had vodka in it, and he took it away," said Chris Prentiss, co-director of the swank Malibu treatment facility, Passages, which employed the "companion."

[Psalm 73]

"...treatment organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous haven't publicly voiced concerns..."

AA, by thier "charter" (Traditions) has NO opinions on any other outside enterprise, neither endorses or opposes any causes.
Sad that these actors are treated as commodoties, though, but that is thier OWN choice.
They are not idiots, and no one can use them against thier will.
They are just totally self-indulgent and ego-centric, and many will die the horrible death of an active alcoholic/addict.
But that is thier choice.

So come election time, why is it so important for candidates to get the endorsement of people who can't be allowed out in public without a keeper?:^)
