Corrie's Sue Cleaver charged with drunk driving
I know that post title sounds like a Dexter episode but I can explain. Craig Charles isn't the only irresponsible lush on long running Brit soap Coronation Street. You might recall that some security cam footage of a drunken Charles made the web shortly after he was picked up for being DIP. That was shortly after his Brit tab interview admitting to years of cocaine addiction which pushed him to the brink of suicide and into renowned Brit rehab the Priory.
Now another Corrie start is in some booze related trouble. Sue Cleaver got herself arrested for being drunk behind the wheel of her Range Rover! Let's take a look at a short video clip about her misfortunes.
Cleaver isn't the only celeb battling booze. In fact substance use seems to go with the celeb lifestyle. When it comes to addictions no one knows more than America's troubled child stars. Among child stars the surviving members of Different Strokes top the list. Dana Plato died when she OD'd on Valium after a trip to the dentist. Apparently the powerful tranquilizer reacted with the anesthetic, and the booze she washed it down with. The young actress was found dead in her RV later that same day. Gary Coleman's troubles have been the most documented. However Todd Bridges has had his share of trouble too. He's been arrested on drug and gun charges. He even later admitted that he contemplated 'suicide by cop' during the arrest. Now here's Todd to talk about his troubles and his co stars in Killing Willis.
Todd gives us much food for thought. For one thing success can be considered exceeding your life expectancy - especially when you're one of America's child actors!
Now by popular demand here once again is Gary the Spaceman Bell and a classic View From Space. This one comes back from 2004 and is called The Illuminati Banker Bastard Babies!
