In 2006, Lohan attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and went to rehab for 30 days.
In May that same year, she was arrested for DUI, and two weeks later, she was arrested for cocaine possession, DUI and driving without a license. Things only got worse from there. In August of 2006, she pleaded guilty to various charges and was sentenced to community service, one day in jail, 3 years of probation and an alcohol education program. She entered rehab later that month, and stayed until October.
In 2010, after missing a DUI hearing, she was sentenced to 90 days in jail, of which she served 14 days, and 90 days of inpatient rehab, from which she was released after just 23 days.
She has been ordered to stay in therapy until her next court appearance in November of 2014. We can only hope for the best for this talented, but troubled, actress.
2. Jeremy Jackson
Jeremy Jackson, born on October 16, 1980, started his acting career at the age of six, starring in a successful Mattel commercial. Many, many commercials later, he beat out Leonardo DiCaprio and 3,000 other 10-year-old kids to land his iconic role as Hobie Buchannon on the wildly popular 1990s TV hit “Baywatch.”
“Baywatch” was the most watched TV program in its time and Jeremy was a part of it. Jeremy says he left the show because drugs gave him a crazed sense of self importance.
During his nine-year stint on Baywatch, Jackson released two full-length albums that garnered him two top-ten hits.
He also developed an alcohol and drug problem during that decade that gave him a self-admitted heightened sense of importance. Jackson’s story, unlike so many others, has a happy ending. 2000, at just 20 years old, Jackson checked himself into rehab. He emerged clean and has remained sober since, devoting his time to fitness, helping other stars beat their own addictions and marketing a successful clothing line.
He’s also appeared in several movies and played himself in the first (and only) season of VH1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol.”
Jackson is currently an avid Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor, musician and DJ.
3. Amanda Bynes
Amanda Bynes was born on April 3 1986. Her acting career began at age 7 with a television commercial for Buncha Crunch. She found her way into the spotlight shortly after that, appearing in
various stage productions, including “Annie,” “The Secret Garden” and
“The Sound of Music.”
From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, Bynes was a regular on Nickelodeon’s “All That.”She starred in “The Amanda Show” from 1999 to 2002, and promptly embarked on a four-year starring role in the WB sitcom, “What I Like About You.”
After starring in several movies between 2003 and 2010, Bynes announced in 2012 that she was retiring from acting. That’s when things got weird, and fast. In March of 2012, she was ticketed for using her cell phone while driving. A month later, she got a DUI after an accident involving a police car. Five months after that, she was charged for two hit-and-run accidents. In September of the same year, she was caught driving on a suspended license. Just ten days later, the same thing.
In December of 1998, she was signed to Jive Records and released her first single, “…Baby One More Time,” which hit the top of the charts late the next year.
The overtly sexual video that accompanied the song signaled the beginning of the criticism that relentlessly followed Spears for the next decade.
The year 2000 found Britney with another top-selling album and a new boyfriend named Justin Timberlake. In 2001, Britney shed the last vestiges of innocence with her album “Britney.” She and JT broke up in 2002.
The famous Madonna kiss occurred in 2003, leaving no doubt that the virginal Britney Spears from “The New Mickey Mouse Club” was gone forever.
In January 2004, Britney spent two days married to her childhood pal Jason Alexander, and nine months later, remarried backup dance Kevin Federline, who left his pregnant girlfriend for her.
After her divorce, Britney went through a well-publicized party girl phase, performed disastrously at the MTV Music Awards, visited rehab a few times and shaved her head while the paparazzi snapped photos.
Spears, now 33, seems to have wised up and moved on from her turbulent younger years. She became an “X Factor” judge in 2012 and in 2013 released her 8th studio album, “Britney Jean,” which was met with mixed reviews.
5. Jodie Sweetin
Jodie Sweetin, forever imprinted in our collective consciousness as Stephanie “How Rude!” Tanner, was born in Los Angeles on January 19, 1982.
When she was just five years old, she joined the “Full House” cast and struggled for the next eight years with trying to fit in at school and live a normal life, joining the high school musical theatre and chilling with friends.
But after “Full House” was cancelled in 1995, Sweetin began drinking. In college, her partying led to a .9 GPA, and she soon moved home to her parents.
In 2002, Sweetin married police officer Shaun Holguin, and began experimenting with harder drugs, including crystal meth, ecstasy and cocaine.
After three years of serious drug abuse, Sweetin entered rehab. Partly as a result of her drug use, she and Holguin divorced in 2006.
MDA'S MIND; ummm what do i think ?? i think will all the spot lights and pressure on these kids they cant help but go a little crazy. but at the same time they are incriminating these folks over some weed, when literally 85% of the world is smoking on the ganja!! but let me not proceed into my feelings about marijuana, i think if they focused on bigger things than these child entertainers we might have sustaniable news on the tv..... just my opinion
