Some people are just bad drug users.

Lily Allen, a British singer, better not be planning on coming to the U.S. anytime soon because the Department of Homeland Security may not be too pleased with her. No, she didn't threaten to bomb any cities and she hasn't converted to Islam as far as we know. Instead, she talked about one of the world's inherent evils - drugs - in a more positive light than we're used to over here.

While Americans starve and lose their jobs, the war on drugs rages on. The messages that Lily have go against everything that our government believes in. Drugs are evil they say, but Lily, however, suggests that they aren't all that bad:

“The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true. I know lots of people who take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work. But we never hear that side of the story. I wish people wouldn’t sensationalize it. Some people are just bad at taking drugs," said Lily.

The argument makes perfect sense to me.

Ron Asheton, the guitarist and bassist for The Stooges, was found dead Tuesday in his Ann Arbor home. He was 60 years old.

According to police, Asheton was found in his lying on the couch in home this morning, and appeared to have been dead for several days. A cause of death has not been determined, however initial reports suggested that he died of a heart attack. Foul play is not suspected. Autopsy and toxicology reports are still pending.

Asheton was a founding member of The Stooges, a group that also included his brother drummer Scott Asheton, bassist Dave Alexander, and frontman Iggy Pop. Asheton played lead guitar on the band's first two albums, and switched to bass guitar on their third.

Following The Stooges third album, "Raw Power", Asheton played in a series of bands including Destroy All Monsters and The New Order, which is not to be confused with the British band by the same name.

He later recorded tracks for the 1998 film, Velvet Goldmine, along with Mike Watt (The Minutemen), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), and Mark Arm (Mudhoney).

Jon Bon Jovi is helping out Hillary Clinton with a fundraising concert to help pay down some of the $6.3 Million her campaign still owes from her Presidential run. The New Jersey rock star will hold a concert on January 15th at Manhattan's Town Hall venue. Tickets for the event range from $75-$1,000.

Since the tragic murder of her mother, brother and nephew in Chicago in October 2008, actress and singer Jennifer Hudson has refused to make any public appearances. She may make her return to the spotlight on the national stage later this month, as it is said that Barack Obama wants her to perform the US national anthem at his Inauguration on January 20.

Hudson's publicist has thus far refused to comment.

Both Barack and Michelle Obama are said to be fans of the 27-year-old singer, who comes from a working class area of Chicago near Michelle's childhood home. Hudson previously sang the anthem at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this past summer.

When her mother Darnell Donnerson, 57, brother Jason Hudson, 29, and nephew Julian King, 7, were found dead in late October, Jennifer cancelled all public appearances. William Balfour, 27, the husband of Jennifer's sister Julia, has been charged with all three murders.

Here's the video of Hudson's performance at the DNC:

Having been upstaged in 2008 by The View's Elizabeth Hasselbeck as the crazy conservative that likes to say stupid things about Democrats, Ann Coulter is striking early and hoping to regain her rightful place in 2009. What better a target than the new incoming first lady, Michelle Obama.

In Coulter's new book, Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America, she attacks Michelle Obama's wardrobe. She notes:

"Her obvious imitation of Jackie O's style - the flipped-under hair, the sleeveless A-line dresses, the short strands of fake pearls - would have been laughable if done by anyone other than a media-designated saint."

Cindy McCain, whose husband John failed to win the presidency this past November, does however get Coulter's seal of approval. I can't say this is all that surprising. Coulter says that Cindy "Dressed well without freakishly imitating famous First Ladies in history."

Poor Pete Wentz. Online media, such as blogs and websites like this, actually took the time to write about him and what they had to say made him get upset. In a recent interview with Blender, he told them that he stopped reading blogs:

I was letting the blogs get to me. It's semi-frustrating when your name actually becomes a synonym for douche bag."

It hasn't, however, stopped him from blogging himself at petewentz.com.

The Los Angeles County coroner has revealed that Andre Young Jr, the son of rap superstar Dr. Dre, died of an overdose on morphine and heroin. The tests ruled that the 20 year olds death was accidental.

Andre Young Jr was found motionless by his mother motionless on August 23rd after Young had spent the night with his friends the previous night. His famous father has opted for privacy after the tragic loss of the son issuing a statement after the incident that read:

"Dr. Dre is mourning the loss of his son. Please respect his family's grief and privacy at this time," his publicist, Lori Earl stated at the time.

Autopsy will be conducted to determine the sudden cause of death.

An autopsy is now planned for actor John Travolta's teenage son, who died while the family was vacationing at their Bahamas home. Jett Travolta, 16, had apparently hit his head on the bathtub. He was last seen entering the bathroom on Thursday, and has a history of seizures.

A caretaker for the house found Jett unconscious in a bathroom late Friday morning. He was taken to a Freeport hospital by ambulance, where he was pronounced dead.

A police officer said that it appeared Jett had hit his head on the bathtub. Family attorney Michael Ossi said in a statement that Jett died suddenly on Friday.

Obie Wilchcombe, a member of parliament and the former Bahamas tourism minister, said that an autopsy is planned Monday and that "we expect a quick resolution."

Wilchcombe said that Travolta "spent a tremendous amount of time with Jettt. He always brought him along. There was a close affectionate relationship and lots of love. People in the old Bahama community today are in shock."

Travolta, 54, and wife Kelly Preston, 46, also have an 8-year-old daughter, Ella Bleu.
