Both Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have come clean about their drug use, sort of. Lindsay Lohan failed a court-ordered drug test, possibly her 1st since being released from jail and court-ordered rehab just 20 or so days ago. She confirmed this via Twitter saying, "Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test." She continued later by adding, "Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it." For each time she violates her probation or misses a drug test she will be ordered to serve 30 days in jail. If true then she will be off to jail in less than 2 weeks. Although even if she did go to jail 30 days would result in a few hours or a couple of days. I really do hope she gets it all straightened out eventually, she seemed to be getting there but then those reports of her staying out all night at clubs, but they said she was not drinking, but drugs and drinking are different.
On the other hand there is Miss Hilton, Paris Hilton to be exact. She has made a deal with the D.A. in Las Vegas to avoid jail time. Instead she will serve 1 year of probation complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service and avoid a felony conviction. This is just typical Hilton. She doe not live in Vegas so this will not be a major hit for her, although some say she will miss the Vegas party money, she can party everywhere else and still make money. I doubt she cares much about this and I doubt this will be the last time she gets into trouble dealing with drugs. If she gets into any trouble while on probation she will have to serve a year of jail, this could actually happen. Probation did not stop her in 2007 and it may not stop her in 2010, but this time it will be worse for her. For some reason I think she may care less and be more reckless 
than Lindsay, this new Lindsay anyway. I do hope that both girls gt their acts together and go back to being good at whatever it is they do, acting and...being famous for being famous? Actually both could make another album, I would probably buy it. Until then though I must give them a Digit Down, but coming clean about it is a nice improvement.
Sad news people, the Liberace Museum will be closing next month. This is odd because I was just thinking about how I wanted to go there and see his rhinestone covered Rolls Royce. The foundation that runs the museum has decided to focus more on the music scholarships it has been awarding for decades rather than the museum since their endowment shrunk from $12 million to $5 million and attendance was only 50,000 last year. They are hoping that a new movie staring Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his lover will possibly spark interest in the museum, but until then the doors will be closed. Liberace was awesome. He was a master of the piano and before Lady Gaga, Adam Lambert, Madonna, Elton John and even Cher he was rocking outrageous outfits and had these pianos 
to match. Rhinestones and glitter and candelabra, he was just this extremely flamboyant guy who kind of looked like the grandpa from the old show "The Monsters" but gay. I liked him, he was different and extremely unique. I do hope the museum opens up so that I could go and experience this somewhat unappreciated artist. I am giving this news a Digit Down.
Sadly, but obviously, it seems as if poverty is on the rise in America. With the economy still on its roller coaster, and jobs nowhere to be found, this should not really be surprising. This is more of a political issue. The Dems will blame Bush and the Reps will blame Obama. Elections are 7 weeks away and votes are needed for both sides. The number of people expected to fall into poverty this year will be the highest levels seen since the 1960's, from 13.2% to 15% or 45 million people of working-age. Child poverty increased from 19 percent to more than 20 percent. Blacks and Latinos were disproportionately hit, based on their higher rates of unemployment. Metropolitan areas that posted the largest gains in poverty included Modesto, Calif.; Detroit; Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.; Los Angeles and Las Vegas. We need need need more jobs and more opportunity out there A.S.A.P. but how? 
Everyone thinks they have the answer, but this is a problem that will need multiple solutions because there is definitely more than one problem. Honestly we need to put the politics aside and get this country back on track before everything hits the fan hard, and then the fan stops working. Stimulus packages that put money into the hands of people that spend it on things that no one can see is not the answer, arguing about who is to blame is not the answer, and making false promises to get elected is not the answer. Does anyone have the answer? No. No one does, and no one will. This is all trail and error, if it works we take the credit, if it fails we blame the other guys. I am giving this news 2 Digits Down.
Madonna is my favorite singer hands down. Something about her music, her videos, her personality, her attitude, I just like it. She had made a fortune over her 26 year career and by the end of this decade if she were to have 3 great albums and 3 successful world tours there is no doubt in my mind that she would become a billionaire. Well this may happen even earlier than I thought. Apparently Las Vegas wants Madonna to perform and they are willing to pay her $1 billion dollars! They deal is being worked out but it is said that she would get a 5 year $1 billion dollar contract that would have her perform at a few glitzy Vegas hotels. Vegas wants her because they think she would help the city which has been suffering a couple of years due to the economy. I would definitely go see her, especially sense this would be a permanent location. Madonna has some of the best 
stage shows, her concerts tell a story that take you to a place of imagination. I hope this deal goes through and I hope I get to see her there. I am giving this news a Digit Up.
My my my, what has she done. Earlier this Summer Paris Hilton was arrested in South Africa after a World Cup match for suspicion of possession of marijuana, but those charges were dropped. It was then I started to remember all of those past pictures of Hilton smoking what seemed to be marijuana. I shrugged it off and gave her the benefit of the doubt. But now as this latest news of Hilton comes out about her being arrested for suspicion of felony cocaine possession it seems as if something needs to be done. Friday night Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits were arrested in Las Vegas after a motorcycle cop smelled marijuana vapors from the Escalade they were in. Hilton asked if they could go into the Wynn resort for privacy, a crowd had gathered. When she reached into her purse for lip balm a small bindle of cocaine fell out and she was then arrested ( her boyfriend was also arrested for suspicion of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs). Cocaine! Really Paris. I am not one to look past any type of drug abuse, but cocaine! Cocaine plus marijuana plus alcohol equals a lot of messed of life moment in the present and future. This would explain her thin figure. I am waiting for her to start having random nose bleeds, that would be the icing on the cake. I am a Paris Hilton fan, a 
big one, but this is not hot. It makes me wonder why a guy was trying to break into her house earlier this week. She lives in a guard gated Beverly Hills area, you cannot just sneak in. Was he looking for drugs or drug money? I am disappointed in Paris and so I must give he two Digits Down indefinitely.
