Boozing Will Turn Rihanna into “the Next Whitney Houston,” Friends Fear

rhianna drunkRihanna is one of the busiest stars at the moment, but she might soon have to make time in her tight schedule for rehab. She’s also been drinking too much and might be facing liver damage, says a new report.

Right after the MET Gala this year, Rihanna was hospitalized for dehydration and exhaustion, but the latest print issue of The Enquirer (story via CB) claims her problems were of a different nature: she’d been boozing it up.

Citing unnamed but admittedly reliable sources, the tab writes that, for the past several years, Rihanna has been drinking way too much and it’s finally getting out of control.

Her friends and her family are worried that she might do some irremediable damage to her liver and are urging her to go to rehab before it’s not too late.

“Rihanna is spiraling out of control and is headed for an early grave,”one spy says for the tab.

She started drinking when she was just a teen and, today, she parties night after night away, as if there was no tomorrow.

New Cellulaze Treatment Proves Effective Against Cellulite

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — It’s been called “cottage cheese skin,” and “the orange peel syndrome.” Cellulite is a condition that has women hiding under their clothes or their beach towels.

But now, a new technology can permanently reduce cellulite by 50 to 70 percent.

It’s called Cellulaze, and it’s an FDA-approved surgical laser therapy that attacks the structure of cellulite.

Doctors conduct the procedure under local anesthesia in one to two hours. It costs between $5,000 and $7,000.

“Nothing really gets rid of cellulite 100 percent,” Dr. Nicholas Nikolov says. “However, with Cellulase, we can improve cellulite by 50-70 percent depending on the cause and the amount of cellulite. And this is permanent; it’s not a temporary treatment.”

“Some of the results you see immediately,” Nikolov says. “Two months later, you see a bigger improvement. But the final improvement is finalized after about two years.”

Sleeping Without The Pills

 

At first I was curious why Mary, a lovely lady in her early 60s, had come to see me. She described her problem as “being sleepy all the time.” As an internist practicing addiction medicine for the past 24 years, I have become sensitive to the significance of sleep disturbances and what they might represent (substance abuse) as well as the importance of a good night’s sleep to eliminate anxiety.

After interviewing her, my concern was justified: Mary had addictive disease as well. She was abusing Ambien, a prescription sedative for the short-term treatment of insomnia. She didn’t remember exactly when she first began taking it, but recalls why: her 401k had taken a huge hit at the outset of the Wall Street crisis several years ago. She suspected she had “a problem” when she failed to recall a very long and detailed phone conversation with her sister about their upcoming vacation together.
