Don’cha just luv how all these celebs have the need to air their dirty laundry to the world. We little people keep our mouths shut on such embarrassments.

[DungeonMaster]

What a hottie!

[The Ghost of Rudy McRomney]

I still think she’s hot.

That makes two of us. I just watched the entire Leno rerun last night where she and Bradshaw were on, just to see her again.

Yeah, great kid, a freakin crackhead.

Yeah, the kid has a big moral problem he needs to deal with, and his mom glossed it over in her public statement.

I bet your kids are perfect and never got involved in things they shouldn't.

And since you aren't famous, even if they did, you'd never be put in the position of having to make a public statement about them and what they did.

So life is just hunky dory for you. Ain't it grand?

Prayers for her son’s recovery.

[RockinRight]

Great minds think alike...

God bless Marie and her son. She’s had a tough year. I hope her son gets and stays sober - it’s tough on someone so young to actually attempt this.

My son, Michael, is an amazing young man, shown through his courage in facing his issues. As his mother I couldn't be more proud of him," the 48-year-old singer said.

Oh, I don't know, I think she could possibly manage to be prouder of him. I don't think that any situation that necessitated rehab is an occasion for pride,and I would definitely not feel pride if either of my children had to go into rehab for any reason.

Sorry, I just hate this common formulation that there is something noble and wonderful about people who are in rehab. It's a lot more noble and wonderful to go through your life without getting involved in whatever made you have to go to rehab in the first place, and most adults and kids are able to conduct their lives without requiring it.

[RockinRight]

I wonder if she’s had “work” done.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I have a lot of interest in what my kids are doing. I have zero interest in what the kids of celebrities are doing.

Why you clicked onto the link to begin with, doubtless.

Yeah, look at the Kennedys

That failure for a person to control his urges and give in to an addiction impacts almost all families, even those that are viewed by the larger community as the most respectable families.

The Kennedy Family, the Osmond Family, the Bush Family and the Limbaugh Family and most likely the family of most people that read this post.

The answer lies in self control. Teaching our children and teaching ourselves that simply because you want to, you do not have to take that sip, take that toke, take that snort, take that needle or take that crack pipe in your hand.

I’ve had a crush since her show.

“Rehab” - Amy Winehouse

Man, I hate this song.....

[Badeye]

Marie Osmond, ‘hot’ or not, is a nutcase.

[SeaHawkFan]

She is attractive, but a bit chunky when DWTS began. You can see a real difference in her weight ae the competition continues. One guy who was a contestant last season lost over 40# during the competition.

It’s time to send that lady some real roses.
I do hope her son gets better soon.

I thought that Mormon’s believed that they were going to be married in Heaven, providing that they had been married in the “Temple”. ??

Amy got boo’d at her concert last night and many in the audience left—just before she dropped the mike and walked off stage.

Snicker...
