As described in a post on his own web site that has since been deleted, Chiodos / Cinematic Sunrise frontman Craig Owens apparently almost overdosed on drugs last night, and has since checked himself in to a mental health facility:
so, after an attempted overdose early yesterday morning, i found myself awake in the emergency room around 8 - 12 hours later.
however, don’t worry about me, i’m fine. i am being checked into a mental clinic beginning tomorrow at 8 am.
i’d like to apologize to everyone at Power Chord Academy, for me not being able to make it to speak to all of the kids tomorrow in Chicago. i promise to make it up, the best that i can and hopefully will be able to reschedule the entire event.
wish me luck, and let’s hope that i learn from this, and that i am able get out very soon.
craig.

This is a bummer for Matt Jones.
When hanging out in Arkansas, it would probably be best not to do hard drugs in public. Unfortunately, this thought did not occur to the Jacksonville Jaguar’s wide receiver, who was busted chopping up lines in his car early Thursday morning. Police also found a jar with “marijuana residue,” which probably isn’t going to help Jones’ situation. Good luck, buddy.

Besides being famous for being the brother of Miley Cyrus and the son of Billy Ray Cyrus, Trace Cyrus is also known for being in that band Metro Station. Well, now he’s REALLY starting to get famous on PerezHilton.com for sending Myspace tranny and Video Matt’s arch nemesis Jeffree Star a bunch of laughably threatening text messages:

MySpace celeb Jeffree Star reveals exclusively to PerezHilton.com that he is receiving threats from Miley Cyrus’ brother, Metro Station lead singer Trace Cyrus.
A little background, first.
Star is/was best friends with Trace’s girlfriend, some chick named Hanna Beth. Well, she and Jeffree have just had a falling out.
As web celebs are prone to do, Star took to the Internets to air his beef. And, amongst the allegations he made in his MySpace bulletin to all his friends: that he had been there for Hanna Beth when she was going through hard times, that he’s been a shoulder to cry on when her boyfriend repeatedly abuses drugs.
Well, needless to say, Trace Cyrus was NOT happy about that.
Star claims Miley’s bro has been sending him harassing text messages, pictures of which we’ve obtained below.
They say some pretty ugly stuff!
Jeffree tells us he plans on contacting the authorities

Breath easy internet, I have returned to my blogging post. Over the last week and a half I’ve been journeying up the Pacific Coast with Bear Hunter . As it turns out, when I try and write on my laptop while in the van I start to puke all over my band mates — hence, my absence from Synthesis Blog. Over the next few days I will be recounting my harrowing journey (in between fascinating posts about pop stars getting busted for drugs, children with weird growths on their bodies and general paranoid-paranormal fodder). Get ready, dear readers. Get your asses ready.

This is kind of an interesting read if you’re bored and curious about what it’s like to live in a Canadian crack house. Here’s a passage to get you hooked…
After multiple failed attempts at holding down a job, my brother took it upon himself to start selling crack to make money off of the situation. It’s difficult watching your mother slowly kill herself, but it’s even more difficult to watch your brother sell her death. Part of me hates him for it, but at least he’s using the money to pay for things like bills and school.
The things that go on here range from terrifying to hilarious. There are also strange little perks to living in a house like this, which most people are unaware of. So ask away. I’m not shy about the subject and I know it’s something most people are curious about.
The girl happily discusses why she doesn’t live with her clean dad, disgusting tales of maggoty ham, the difference between freebased cocaine and crack, and why the cops never do anything about her sitch. She writes pretty well, maybe we should invite her to blog here for us. She’ll probably have a book out and be on Oprah someday.

A 32-year-old British woman could not fool customs agents in Norway when she came through wearing a bulging wig. They became suspicious of the big wig and turns out she was concealing 2.2 pounds of cocaine under there! The woman had glued the cocaine to her head.
She was detained under suspicion of smuggling cocaine. The agents thought she had a lot of hair and suspected it was a wig. The cocaine was glued so strongly to the woman’s real hair that she had to be taken to the local hospital to have it removed. She is now being held until a formal indictment and trial.
Now Amy Winehouse’s nasty beehive all makes sense.
