Drew Barrymore: Headed to Rehab For Alcoholism?!
Before she embarked on one of Hollywood’s most monumental comebacks, Drew Barrymore’s name was synonymous with the dangers of childhood stardom.
Barrymore checked into rehab for the first time when she was 13 years old after first experimenting with hard drugs when she was only nine.
It would take a second round of in-patient care for Barrymore to get sober for good, but by the time she was 14, the actress had kicked the habits that could have claimed her young life.
One might think that after struggling mightily and finally getting clean at such a young age, Barrymore would steer clear of intoxicants for life.
But many former addicts can attest to the power of the complacency that often accompanies especially long periods of sobriety.
Alcoholics, in particular, are said to be vulnerable to the false sense of security that comes with several years off the sauce.
They might look at family and friends enjoying a drink socially and believe that they’re capable of doing the same.
In many cases, they might be right.
More often, however, the situation ends in disaster … and friends of Drew’s believe she’s in the process of learning that lesson the hard way.
According to Life & Style, friends of the actress were shocked to see her exhibiting signs of intoxication during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Cohen often drinks with his guests, and Drew has her own brand of wine, so there was nothing terribly surprising about her decision to enjoy a glass while on the show.
But Barrymore’s alleged slurring and out-of-character behavior.
“They’re very concerned about Drew,” a source tells tabloid.
“They fear it’s only a matter of time before she crashes and burns.”
The insider says Drew’s friends have already staged an informal intervention in hopes of convincing the actress to seek help”
“The bottom line is that Drew’s an alcoholic and she’s drinking again,” the source continues. “She’s not hiding it.”
The insider adds that Barrymore’s inner circle has implored her to “rein it in before she hits rock bottom again.”
Here’s hoping Drew is able to find whatever sort of help she needs.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro: Moving on With Scheana Marie? Already?!?
Gym, Tan, Laundry?
Please.
This motto may have been applicable to the first version of Jersey Shore, but Ronnie Ortiz-Magro clearly has a new tagline for the revived version of this MTV series:
Insult, Cheat, Dump.
The controversial MTV personality has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this week, having broken up with girlfriend Jen Harley in the most public and cruel way possible.
Over the course of numerous social media messages, Ronnie…
… slammed Harley as a “cum dumpster.”
… accused of her keeping old sex tapes she made with an ex-boyfriend.
… alleged that she cheated on him with a friend.
… called her a “hoe.”
The pair went at it over Instagram this past weekend, prior to Ronnie apologizing for taking his issues public.
Except then Ronnie deleted his Mea Culpa and bashed Harley even harder.
You can relive the very ugly situation below, vicious blow by vicious blow:
Sadly, there’s even a video included in the above summary of Ronnie and Jen nearly coming to physical blows.
It’s terrible. You can watch it HERE.
“I am done with all this drama,” Harley told Instagram followers yesterday, adding:
“I am a grown woman with a beautiful little girl and a little boy.
“I don’t need a cheating abusive man in my life who’s only tearing me apart not building me up. From now on it’s just me and my kids.”
One of those kids belongs to Ronnie, as he and Jen welcomed a girl named Ariana into the world early last month.
Ronnie, however, doesn’t seem too broken up over the break-up.
Last night, in fact, he seemed downright giddy while spending time with … Scheana Marie?!?
Oh yes.
The Jersey Shore star apparently hung out yesterday with Marie and many others for a Vanderpump Rules season finale viewing party.
In videos posted to Marie’s Instagram Story, Ronnie can be seen hanging with fellow MTV stars Chester Lockhart and Kailah Casillas, as well as Kailah’s boyfriend, Mikey P.
“I mean, while watching the Vanderpump Rules finale, like we have our own reality show in my condo,” Scheanna says in one piece of Instagram footage.
Now, just because Ronnie was chilling with Scheana, does this mean they’re an item?
Or at least that they’re hooking up?
No, not necessarily.
But we know Marie is single, considering she basically invented a romance during this past season of Vanderpump Rules.
And we also know that Ronnie would knock proverbial boots with anyone that has boobs, so… it’s a match made in drunken reality television heaven!
Mikey P, meanwhile, defended his boy with the following caption last night:
“There are two sides to every story,” he wrote, clearly referring to the Harley mess and adding:
“I don’t give a f-ck what you think you saw or heard or whatever. I’ve been one of @realronniemagro’s best friends for 10 years now.
“Don’t come at me with some bullsh-t, I ain’t tryna hear it. PIPE DOWN. #rideformydogs.”
We’re gonna stay away from comment on that passionate defense and instead cite an E! News source who claims that Ronnie and Scheana are just friends.
That may be true.
But it doesn’t mean they can’t be friends with some sexual benefits.
As for Ronnie’s ugly split from his baby mama?
This was the final thing he told fans about it this week:
“I want to apologize to my family, friends and fans. This is a private matter that should have never been made public.
“I remain focused on my daughter and she is my number one priority.”
