"Meth Mouth" - Stay Away From Methamphetamine-


Celebrities arent the only one's who take drugs. Crystal Meth and other drugs are serious issues.

What is "Meth Mouth"

Methamphetamine addicts may lose their teeth abnormally quickly, a condition known as "meth mouth". This effect is not caused by any corrosive effects of the drug itself, which is a common myth.



According to the American Dental Association, meth mouth "is probably caused by a combination of drug-induced psychological and physiological changes resulting in xerostomia (dry mouth), extended periods of poor oral hygiene, frequent consumption of high calorie, carbonated beverages and tooth grinding and clenching."

Similar, though far less severe symptoms have been reported in clinical use of other amphetamines, where effects are not exacerbated by a lack of oral hygiene for extended periods.

Like other substances which stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, methamphetamine causes decreased production of acid-fighting saliva and increased thirst, resulting in increased risk for tooth decay, especially when thirst is quenched by high-sugar drinks.

Common Effects:
Euphoria.
Increased energy and attentiveness.
Diarrhea, nausea.
Excessive sweating.
Loss of appetite, insomnia, tremor, jaw-clenching (Bruxism).
Agitation, compulsive fascination with repetitive tasks (Punding).
Talkativeness, irritability, panic attacks.
Increased libido.

Side effects associated with chronic use:
Drug craving.
Weight loss.
Withdrawal-related depression and anhedonia.
Rapid tooth decay ("meth mouth") (often exacerbated by resultant poor dental hygiene).
Amphetamine psychosis.
Dopamine receptor downregulation and hypersensitization.
Axonic degeneration of the dopamine axon terminals in the striatum, frontal cortex, nucleus accumbens, and amygdala.

Side effects associated with overdose:
Brain damage/Meningitis (Neurotoxicity).
Formication (sensation of flesh crawling with bugs, with possible associated compulsive picking and infecting sores).
Rhabdomyolysis (Muscle breakdown) which leads to Kidney failure.
Death from overdose is usually due to stroke, heart failure, but can also be caused by cardiac arrest (sudden death) or hyperthermia.

Buffenstein et al. (1997) showed through SPECT scanning of methamphetamine abusers in Hawaii that brain deterioration continues for months after abstinence, possibly suggesting another unique and pathological feature of methamphetamine.

Parents prefer kids dress like Avril - not like Britney.


Heres' an interesting comment written by C.K. LIEW, Seri Kembangan. The comment was written in response to Avril Lavigne's concert being banned in Southeast Asia and it appears in the Malayasian Publication "Star".

Just before the comment appeared, an article ("Some of our artistes are really bad influences") regarding the banning of Lavigne's concert in Malaysia, had been written.

This is what C.K.LIEW had to say:

"....I REFER to the letter “Some of our artistes are really bad influences” (The Star, Aug 28). I agree with her absolutely.

If local artistes are to be compared with foreign ones(from the U.S.), the former resemble heavy metal bands instead of rock bands.

The difference between heavy metal and rock is that rock songs are milder in tune. As for Avril Lavigne, she is a pop-rock artiste, whose songs are much milder than any heavy metal tunes.

So my suggestion to the authorities who pushed to ban the concert is not to involve religious matters in such issues and do some research before making any embarrassing remarks. It not only embarrasses you but also our entire country.

During my student days in Canada, not only my neighbour but also polls published in local newspapers said that parents were more comfortable to have their daughters dressed like Avril Lavigne than Britney Spears...."

C.K. LIEW,

Seri Kembangan.

Writer of "Basic Instinct", "Showgirls" and "Jagged Edge' turns to God-



Remember Joe Eszterhas? He was the screenwriter of such films as 'Basic Instinct" (he was paid $3 million for the screenplay), he also penned "Jagged Edge', Showgirls' and several other screenplays. He also wrote a very interesting book entitled "The Devil's Guide to Hollywood: The Screenwriter as God!".

In the summer of 2001 Joe, his wife and children moved from Malibu to his hometown of Cleveland Ohio. Joe had been a heavy drinker and smoker most of his life, and a few months after the move to Ohio, Mr. Eszterhas found out he had throat cancer. After several operations that removed 80 percent of his larynx, Joe says one day while walking, he sat down and began to cry. And he prayed.(which he stated he had not done since his childhood)

He says that he then 'saw a bright light', and from that day forward he has dedicated his life to god and family.

Joe now has a book coming out on September 2 entitled: "In Crossbearer: A Memoir of Faith". The book is about Joe's life, and will be published by St. Martin's Press.

We wish Mr. Eszterhas and his family all the best. You can read more about Mr. Joe Eszterhas story. Fascinating article by David Yonke.

The Rolling Stones-



The Rolling Stones are an British band whose music was initially based on rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Formed in London and having their first success in the UK, they subsequently became popular in the US during the "British Invasion" in the early 1960s.

The band formed in 1962 when original leader Brian Jones and pianist Ian Stewart were joined by singer Mick Jagger as lead vocals and guitarist Keith Richards, whose songwriting partnership later contributed to their taking the leadership role in the group. Bassist Bill Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts completed the early lineup. Ian Stewart was removed from the official lineup in 1963 but continued to work with the band as road manager and keyboardist until his death in 1985. Read more about The Rolling Stones.

List of Celebrities who have appeared in a ‘Sex Tape’.



Some do it for fun, some for the love of it, some do it for the money, some do it for publicity’, and some have done it without their consent.

Whether these individuals consented and chose to appear in a ‘sexual videotape‘, with or without their knowledge, here is a list of ‘famous people and/or celebrities’ who have appeared in what is commonly referred to as a: ‘sex tape’.

Of course this list is nowhere near complete, thank you.

Pamela Anderson actress with Tommy Lee drummer.

Pamela Anderson actress and Bret Michaels singer.

Baek Ji Young Korean singer and her former manager.

Chua Soi Lek, the (then) Malaysian Health Minister, had a sex tape that was secretly video taped (containing two DVDs) distributed freely and anonymously to various homes in Batu Pahat, Malaysia. On 2 January 2008, Dr. Chua announced his resignation despite saying he would not do so the previous day.

Bob Crane of Hogan's Heroes fame made numerous home sex tapes in the 1970s with early VCR technology. His exploits were immortalized in the movie Auto Focus.

Daniela Cicarelli, a Brazilian TV show hostess for MTV Brasil and fashion model. A
sex video was broadcast on the TV show Dolce Vita on Spanish channel Telecinco, showing Daniela on a beach in Spain fondling her boyfriend, Merrill Lynch employee Renato "Tato" Malzoni and later having sex with him in the water.

Dustin Diamond of Saved by the Bell fame authorized the release of a 40-minute sex tape in 2006 in the hopes that it would bring in profits and provide a boost to his career.

Fred Durst, the frontman for the band Limp Bizkit, had a video of him and an unknown woman having sex leaked onto the internet by a repairman who had been repairing his computer.

Kelsey Grammer sued Internet Entertainment Group under the mistaken impression that it had purchased from Grammer's former girlfriend Cerlette Lamme a sex tape the couple had made. He dropped the suit after IEG counter-sued and stated that it had not bought or possessed the video his ex-girlfriend had been trying to sell.

Tonya Harding and her husband Jeff Gillooly had a sex tape that was leaked onto the internet and subsequently became so widely available that the couple decided to legitimately release it on their own. It is commercially sold by Penthouse Home Video as the "Wedding Night" tape, although the wedding gown was actually a Halloween costume.

Keeley Hazell of Page 3 Idol (2004) fame, had a 10 minute sex tape featuring herself and her ex-boyfriend released in early January 2007.

Paris Hilton and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon recorded themselves having sex in a hotel room, shot in night-vision. Hilton initially attempted to stop the distribution of the tape, but later agreed to its release. She now receives profits from the tape. Unusually for a celebrity scandal, the notoriety surrounding the tape only served to increase Hilton's fame. This footage, along with additional full-color footage, was released commercially under the title 1 Night in Paris.

Ulrika Jonsson won a court order banning footballer Stan Collymore from selling an explicit video of the pair indulging in sexual activity.

Socialite Kim Kardashian confirmed the existence of a sex tape of her made by then-boyfriend Ray J. She threatened to take legal action to block its planned distribution by Vivid Video.

Jenna Lewis, a contestant on Survivor, had her wedding night sex tape released. It features 42 minutes of sex with then-new husband model Travis Wolfe in a Las Vegas, Nevada hotel room.

Rob Lowe faced controversy in the 1980s, he taped himself having sex with two young girls, one of whom turned out to be underage.

Chung-ming. Despite local authorities' immediate effort to pull all the magazines in question from the market, the video quickly spread via the Internet globally (search engine Lycos reported that her name was among the most searched terms in January 2002). In 2002 many Taiwanese lingerie manufacturers reported a significant growth in the sales of white thong panties, which Chu wore in the video.

Carolyn Murphy's ex-husband Jake Schroeder, allegedly tried to sell a tape featuring him and his ex-wife having sex during their honeymoon in 1999 while in Barbados. In January 2006 Schroeder was arrested and charged with extortion for trying to sell the tape. The video was leaked onto the internet in April 2006.

Nicole Narain and Colin Farrell have a 13-minute sex tape. Farrell confirmed the existence of the tape and successfully obtained a court order blocking its distribution. However in January 2006 copies of the tape appeared on the internet.

Robert Ritchie (aka Kid Rock) and Scott Stapp (former singer of the band Creed) appear in a sex tape from 1999, where the two engage in sex acts with four groupies.

Abi Titmuss, a British TV personality, appears in a sex tape featuring herself, her ex–TV presenter boyfriend John Leslie, and another woman.

Verne Troyer, actor and stuntman, is currently suing over the release of a sex tape between himself and a model, which he claims was stolen and is in the hands of the same film producer that released Paris Hilton's sex tape.

The Day a Young and Talented Superstar Died: "Aaliyah"



Aaliyah was a talented R&B singer, actress, dancer, and model(she had modeled for Tommy Hilfiger). She had also appeared in several feature films.

She became internationally famous in the mid-90s and 2001 with such hits as “Miss You”, and "Rock the Boat".

She had sold more than 32 million records worldwide. She was at the height of her young career. Then on August 25, 2001, she died at the age of 22.

She was born Aaliyah Dana Haughton in the Brooklyn New York neighborhood known as Bedford-Stuyvesant. Her name ‘Aaliyah' was given to her by her maternal grandmother. The name is said to mean: "Highest, Most Exalted, The Best" in Arabic.

She had dreamed of being a singer at an early age and appeared on 'Star Search' at the age of 10. She spent years honing and crafting her skills as a singer, dancer, actress, and model.

In 1992, Aaliyah’s uncle and then manager Barry Hankerson, introduced her to popular R&B singer R. Kelly. Kelly produced and wrote several songs for her album: ‘Age Aint Nothing but a Number‘. The album was released in 1994 and produced several worldwide hits.

Aaliyah was also attending art school and in 1997 graduated with a 4.0 from the Detroit School of Arts. In 2000, Aaliyah appeared in her first starring role in “Romeo Must Die”, with Jet Li. Aaliyah and Timbaland received executive producer credit for the film's soundtrack and she contributed several songs: "Are You Feelin Me?, " I don’t Wanna", and "Come Back in One Piece," a duet she did with DMX, who also had a role in the film.

Aaliyah made history when "Try Again" became the first song to ever reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 based solely on the strength of its radio airplay. In 2001, Aaliyah appeared in the vampire film "The Queen of the Damned". Aaliyah also had a supporting role in the two sequels to the hit “The Matrix”.

Other films in which she was due to appear before her tragic death were “Honey”, “State Property 2”and the remake of the 1976 film “Sparkle”, to have been produced by Whitney Huston. By this time Aaliyah had sold more than 32 million records worldwide, and was at the height of her career.

In August of 2001, Aaliyah and several members from her record label, her two bodyguards, and a film production crew had flown to the Bahamas to make her music video entitled “Rock the Boat”.

As the video shoot rapped days earlier than scheduled, Aaliyah and the others with the production were excited and decided to head back to the U.S.

On August 25, 2001, Aaliyah, her hair stylist Eric Foreman, Anthony Dodd, her security guard Scott Gallin, Douglas Kratz (a director of video production for Virgin Records), stylist Christopher Maldonado, Keith Wallace and Gina Smith (both employees of the Blackground label), and pilot Luis Morales III boarded a twin engine Cessna 402B. Sources also say that the production team had loaded heavy equipment onto the plane.
The plane crashed shortly after take off and all passengers were killed.

During an investigation into the crash, according to the NTSB(National Transportation Safety Board), "The airplane was seen lifting off the runway, and then nose down, impacting in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27', in the Bahamas."

It was later reported that the pilot, Luis Morales III, had not been approved to pilot the plane he was attempting to fly. Additionally, an autopsy performed on Morales revealed alcohol and traces of cocaine in his blood.

Investigations also determined the plane had been over its total gross weight by several hundred pounds. Two of the passengers weighed roughly 300 pounds and most of the passengers sat in the rear of the plane, where heavy equipment and baggage were also stored.
The NTSB report stated that "the total gross weight of the airplane was substantially exceeded."
It was concluded that the pilots inexperience and the weight of the plane caused the fatal crash.
At the time of her death, Aaliyah had also worked with such great artists and production teams as Missy Elliott and Timbaland.

On August 31, 2001 Aaliyah's funeral was held at Saint Ignatius Loyola Roman Catholic Church in Manhattan New York. Her body was later interred at the Rosewood Mausoleum in Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale New York.

After her tragic death her songs “Miss you” and “ Rock the Boat” became hits Worldwide. She also recorded the following “If your girlfriend only knew”, “Back and Forth”, “Are you that Somebody?”,””More than a Women”,”Miss You”, “Try Again”.

The day the young and talented Aaliyah Dana Haughton died, the world lost yet another great talent.

Note: As of this writing there is a letter at the Offical Aaliyah website, written by Diane and Michael Haughton stating that "After deep thought and deliberation, we will be suspending Aaliyah.com (the website) effective immediately...". As well as closing the Aaliyah webstore and New York office.

Sex Tape: The videotape that almost destroyed a young female singers career.

Baek Ji Young

Baek Ji Young was a young talented singer from Korean burning up the charts in her home country.

Baek was a Korean pop singer who’s career started in 1999. Her first album to hit the charts was entitled “Sorrow”. The album was a unusual mixture of latin beats and Korean pop songs. The album became very popular and the singles from the album became even more popular and thus made her a new rising star in Korean pop music.

Her second album was called ‘Rouge’ and also did well on the charts now establishing her as one of the hottest new dance music singers in Korea.

Her fame took a big hit when in 2000, a videotape of her engaging in sex with her manager hit the internet. Baek claimed to have not known that the scenes were being videotaped at the time, and she tried to apologize to the press and her many fans. There was a huge drop in her popularity.

After the release of the videotape she released a another album entitled “Tres”. The album did not fair as well with sales. Baek decided that it was now time to take a much needed break from the music business.

Two years later, she released her third album entitled “Smile’ in 2003, which did better than her second album, but sales were still very weak.

She received somewhat a comeback with her next album in 2006, “Smile again’ featuring less up tempo and more ballards. The single “I wont love’ received a bigger response and proved to be very popular. She was now once again heading back up the charts.

In 2006 Baek won the “Best Female Solo Singer’ award, and also released her sixth album “The Sixth Miracle’ featuring her hit single ’I only need one love’, which also won her an album award in 2008 at the Seoul Music Awards.

As of 2008 Baek was due to have several cysts removed from her vocal cords. Baek is now 32 years old.


Update: The Los Angeles Police Department say that they now have a man in custody who at one time was Baek Young’s manager. It is believed that he may have been solely responsible for the distribution of the sex tape. According to police reports it is now confirmed that the former manager, 45 year old Kim Seok-wan was arrested in the Los Angeles section of Koreantown. He is believed to have been wanted for over two years on charges of having sex with minors.

Bail has been denied and he is currently in a Los Angeles jail. He has been wanted by the Korean police since 2000, on charges of having distributed the sex tape on the internet, and defamation to Baek Youngs career.
