I think I'm always gonna have a thing for Brad Pitt. I'll get him sooner or later... When he can't walk anymore, has glaucoma, and shits himself, cause that's how I roll.

The tormented singing sensation took hit after hit of the deadly drug after a 19-minute binge in which she snorted powdered ECSTASY and COCAINE.And she admitted she had just popped six VALIUM pills to "bring myself down". Amy's spiral of self-destruction was revealed in a harrowing video filmed at her East London home and seen by The Sun. It will horrify relatives and friends who fear she could soon end up dead.

A close friend of Amy is hoping this may be the thing that opens Amy's eyes to the problem she has and will hopefully get help before it's too late.

Amy is locked in a nosedive towards oblivion â€" she is killing herself. The video shows a woman completely out of control. Her family and her few real friends have begged her to pull herself from the brink many times. But here is proof she has pressed the self-destruct button. Her fans would scarcely recognise the drug-addled wreck in the video as the talented performer they love. We can only pray she will get a wake-up call when she watches the video herself and sees the terrible state she is in.

WOW. I guess I wasn't too far off when I would call her Amy Crackhouse. We all knew Amy has her issues and drug problem but I can't be it has gotten to this level. It's so sad seeing such an awesome performer throwing their life away. I can feel as bad for her as I want but the bitch refuses to get help. You can't help a drug addict, they have to help themselves. AMY, open your damn eyes cause the rate you're going, your lucky if you live another month!

After suffering a miscarriage last week, Lily Allen is ready to get back to work. She will be shooting a pilot episode for BBC3's 'Lily Allen and Friends' in London tomorrow.

"She has insisted on coming back to work," a BBC insider tells Us. "Obviously it's tough for her right now, but she is a professional and sees going back to work as a way to focus on something else."

I've had friends go through the miscarriages and it's a difficult thing to go through, so it's good to see Lily getting back into her work!

Britney Spears arrived at the Los Angeles office of Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, Monday for an ongoing deposition in their custody battle.

At 10:40 a.m., Spears, 26, wearing a dark blue top and jeans, drove up to the office in her white Mercedes-Benz SL65 with friend Sam Lutfi. Both had serious expressions on their faces. The singer has missed numerous appointments for the court-ordered cross examination. She's expected to be grilled about her past drug and alcohol use, her apparent failure to follow court orders and other matters pertaining to her parenting skills.

New reports are coming out saying Britney just left looking upset after a 2 1/2 hour deposition. Well I'll be damned! Britney actually did something responsible for the first time in 6 months by showing up to her deposition today?!? Oooh! If she keeps this up, she might start washing and brushing her hair.

In 1957, Dr. King founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and moved back to his home town of Atlanta, Georgia. This was the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. In the years following, he continued to organize non-violent protests against unequal treatment of African-American people. His philosophy remained peaceful, and he constantly reminded his followers that their fight would be victorious if they did not resort to bloodshed.

Nonetheless, he and his demonstrators were often threatened and attacked. Demonstrations which began peacefully often ended up in violence, and he and many others were often arrested.On August 23, 1963, a crowd of more than 250,000 people gathered in Washington, D.C.* and marched to the Capitol Building to support the passing of laws that guaranteed every American equal civil rights.

Martin Luther King was at the front of the "March on Washington." On the steps of the Lincoln Memorial* that day, Dr. King delivered a speech that was later entitled "I Have a Dream." The March was one of the largest gatherings of black and white people that the nation's capital had ever seen... and no violence occurred.One year later, the Civil Rights Act of 1964* was passed. It was not the first law of civil rights for Americans, but it was the most thorough and effective. The act guaranteed equal rights in housing, public facilities, voting, and public schools. Everyone would have impartial hearings and jury trials. A civil rights commission would ensure that these laws were enforced. Martin Luther King and thousands of others now knew that they had not struggled in vain.

In 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated while he was leading a workers' strike in Memphis, Tennessee. White people and black people who had worked so hard for peace and civil rights were shocked and angry. The world grieved the loss of this man of peace.

Dr. King showed that one man can make a difference to millions of others by fighting hard for what is right.
