Corey Monteith Was In Rehab At 19!

Corey Monteith has sensationally revealed that by that age of 19 he had checked into rehab to help conquer his addiction to drugs and alcohol.

The Glee actor spoke to Parade magazine about his difficult past, describing how he was regularly missing school to go and get drunk at 13, and that he dropped out of education altogether at 16.

Corey explained how he used to do "anything and everything - as much as possible." He added "I'm lucky to be alive."

Eventually, Corey's family caught him stealing money from a relative to fund his habit, and demanded that he got the help he needed;

"At that point the family came together and basically said 'If you don’t get yourself under control, we are going to go to the police and press charges'. This became a serious wake up call."

Wow. Hopefully Corey's admission about his history, coupled with his amazing turnaround and success, will inspire other young people who think they might have a problem to get help.

Kerry Katona is CANned by her Agency

Dear shy, sweet, retiring Kerry Katona has reportedly been dropped from her PR company CAN Associates (see what I did with the title there).

CAN picked Kerry up after she split with no-good hubby Mark Croft last year. Kez cleaned herself up, got off the booze and drugs, lost weight and seemed to really have sorted her life out. She also has a new show on ITV2, so I wonder what could have caused the rift?

Well, the word is that Kez refused to attend the birthday party of fellow CAN-er, TOWIE's Amy Childs, choosing instead to go out on a drinking sesh with her friends. She was apparently boozing for six hours, and ended up crashed out over a luggage trolley in her hotel. Sounds like a good night to me!

Anywayz, seeing as all CAN's other clients, such as Peter Andre and Elen Rivas were in attendance at the Essex glamour girl's b-day celebrations, we can pretty much assume that Kerry would have been expected to be there too. Her defiance is currently being blamed as the reason for her deaparture, especially as CAN are being so tight-lipped about the whole situation...
