I'm not too crazy about blogging on celebrities since that is Perez Hilton's job, but the latest celeb breakdown by Demi Moore had me laughing. I wasn't laughing at her misfortune. I was laughing at what caused it! For those of you living under a rock, Demi was recently hospitalized for what seemed to be exhaustion. Now, a story is coming out that she was hospitalized because of a seizure-like crisis brought on by the downmarket drug that us, kids, call 'whip-its'! WHAT? Are you kidding me? Superhot and former Brat Packer Demi Moore got sick off of 'whip-its, otherwise known as Nitrous Oxide or NO2. Wasn't that one of those things that you did when you were younger and experimenting with drugs? That's not something that you do when you're 49-years-old with three kids. I mean, we used sneak into convenient stores when we were kids just to suck the NO2 out of whip cream canisters, and then as we got older, we would buy balloons filled with NO2 at Grateful Dead shows. I seriously can't imagine doing these kiddie drugs at her age and at her stage of the game.
For those who've never experienced 'whip-its', as they're called on the streets, they're little gaseous canisters of nitrous oxide, inhaled from whip cream dispensers, sending it's users into this euphoric state for a matter of ten seconds or a little more. Not that I would know or anything, but I was told that you almost hear a PacMan game in your head with that "whacka-whacka-whacka" sound repeatedly until the high worked itself through. It literally is just a cheap thrill, but very stupid!
Friends have watched the 49-year-old's downward spiral with increasing worry after her high-profiled marriage to 33-year-old actor, Ashton Kutcher, collapsed a few months back. According to one magazine source, Ashton wanted Demi to take care of herself and get a hold of things, but the actress wouldn't listen and her sudden weight loss has left her frail and gaunt. It seemed to all come crashing down for Demi on Monday night, when Paramedics rushed to her Beverly Hills mansion and whisked her away to a nearby hospital with daughter Rumer Willis in tow. After her release from the hospital, she will be entering a rehab for the second time in her life. Demi's first run-in with substance abuse happened back in her Brat Pack days after director Joel Schumacher threatened to cut her from the Brat Pack hit "St. Elmo's Fire".
This wasn't meant to be a "Demi Moore: This is Your Life". I'm just a little blown away that this supposed responsible adult who is constantly in the public eye, would be taken to the hospital because she was doing 'whip-its'! WHIP-ITS! That is simply amazing and just plain stupid!
