It looks like Michael Jackson isn’t only the King of Pop, but also the King of Pot and several other drugs that should have landed him on Celebrity Rehab. First reported by Pop on the Pop, police discovered two bags of marijuana, a bottle of Restoril, a medication used to treat insomnia, and empty bottles of the sedatives Ativan and Valium.
According to unsealed search warrants, several empty, unlabeled drug bottles were also found in the home shortly after his death. A search warrant served four days after Jackson’s death also states that “family members of the decedent notified Los Angeles County Coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter that they had located a quantity of tar heroin in Jackson’s bedroom on the second floor of the residence. Winter notified LAPD detectives of the found evidence.”
It later turned out that the substance was not heroin, but he still had enough drugs in his house to have a pretty rockin’ party.

In 1994, Grunge phenomenon Nirvana’s lead singer, Kurt Cobain, died of what is usually rumored to be a heroin overdose. At the time of his death, a bit of his ashes were scattered in a Buddhist temple in New York and the Wishkah River in Washington, but the rest of them were kept in the Los Angeles home of his widow, Courtney Love.
Earlier this year, the ashes of Cobain were stolen from the home, and now a German artist, Barmy Natascha Stellmach, plans to smoke the ashes mixed in a joint with marijuana. Stellmach won’t reveal how she came into possession of the ashes, but, according to this article, when asked why she plans to smoke them, she states that it’s to release him “into the ether from the media circus.”
Smoking peoples’ ashes is the most vile thing I’ve ever heard of. What even makes people think of these things? Personally, I think this woman watched How High a few too many times.
The events surrounding Kurt Cobain’s death are going to keep him in the “media circus” for years to come, and there’s nothing Stellmach or anyone else can do about it.

Twilight’s Kristen Stewart was recently photographed smoking a bowl on her front porch. The Internet has been crazy the past few days with people speculating about it… I figured it was time to put in my two cents.
Leave the poor girl alone, for Christ’s sake! She’s an eighteen year old in California. It’s okay for everyone to gather on Hippie Hill and smoke bongs all day, but this girl can’t sit on her front porch and toke a tiny bowl? Why? Because it doesn’t make her a good role model?
Bullshit. Millions of people smoke pot – tons of celebrities included (Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, I could go on for days…) – and it doesn’t make them any less human.
So what if it’s illegal? There are only 13 states that prescribe marijuana, legally, as a medication. That hasn’t stopped anyone in the other 37 states, has it? (Go ahead and act like you’ve never smoked pot before.) You’re only making a big deal out of it because she’s newly famous.
Get off her back. Let her make her own decisions. She’s a big girl; I’m sure she can deal with the consequences.
