Ok, some points that I feel must be made.
Really, I don’t. But, if you want to tell me when when of the local teachers does, or perhaps a bigshot doctor, then by all means.
Honestly. Rehab. Call your mom. Do something.
Hello? Wasn’t he getting arrested for DUI? Don’t those too go hand in hand at least 60% of the time?
The first one that can tell me why this is news won’t win anything from me since the swag closet is empty, but everyone reads the comments, so that has to be worth something. Oh yea, saying ’cause he is a celebrity’ ISN’T a reason.

Not sure if you remember or not, but last week there was a bit of an outage on Flickr. Right in the middle of the day and it last about an hour, maybe a little longer.
