Reality star Kendra Wilkinson opens up about her teenage drug problem and a stint in a psychiatric ward on the latest installment of E!’s celebrity documentary series True Hollywood Story.
Wilkinson struggled with drug addiction as a teenager and was briefly locked up for “feeling suicidal,” the ex-Girl Next Door and new mom, 24, has revealed. In the interview, airing Wednesday night at 10 PM on E!, Kendra says her “drug days” began at 13 when a friend offered her cocaine. But the time she was a sophomore in high school, she was using drugs “every day, every minute” and would often cut herself. After swallowing “a half dozen or so” pills at school at age 15, her mother checked her in a psychiatric facility.
“It was crazy in that place,” Wilkinson says in the expose, obtained by Us Weekly. “We didn’t see daylight. We weren’t allowed outside. It was basically a jail, but it was a hospital. I think it made me worse because in my heart I didn’t want to change. People were forcing me, and that’s something that does not work with me.”

The Kardashians are getting way too predictable.
Earlier today, we posted a pair of tabloid covers that called out the relationships of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney. We said the stories were likely planted by their publicists, so the siblings could respond later, garner sympathy from their fans and remain a major part of the entertainment news cycle.
It only took a few hours for the sisters to prove us right. Point, THG!
First, Khloe took to her blog and wrote:
“My sisters and I had a great laugh this morning. Star and InTouch decided to attack our relationships. Apparently I’m heading for divorce, Kim was dumped and Kourt was duped… Wow, sad week for us Kardashian sisters, and how coincidental that this all happened at the same time!”
This is how the Kardashians roll: They greenlight negative stories to tabloids, whine about them to the press, boost the sales of said tabloids, make new headlines for themselves… and then do it all again a month later.
Kim then chimed in from her blog:
“OMG! Have you guys seen the front pages of In Touch and Star today!? Do NOT Trust the Media!!!!!!”
In closing, Kourtney, brought this perfect storm of publicity for the family home:
“Week after week Scott and I have been on the cover of In Touch with stories that make us laugh…. We have been blessed with the most amazing, beautiful baby boy and couldn’t be happier. And saying that Scotts initials are STD and that he had a dogtag because he was proud of it… his initials are SMD, but nice story, idiots.”
On one hand, you have to be digusted that so many people still buy into the Kardashian myth (i.e. that there’s an ounce of unscripted drama to anything they do and say).
On the other hand, you really need to be in awe of the way they’ve taken advantage of a culture that’s so obsessed with people whose biggest accomplishment to date is to focus the camera while Ray J does his thing.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been a force to be reckoned with on the Hollywood scene for more than 15 years , but the Oscar-nominated hunk celebrates his Hollywood heroes and praises his favorite cinema gems with the March issue of Esquire Magazine.
Leonardo Praises His The Departed Co-Star Jack Nicholson: “Out of any actor, I can’t think of anyone who’s got more memorable moments in cinema than Jack Nicholson,” he told the mag. “Jack never takes a single line straight on. Never takes an emotion written in the script at face value. He brings terror into what you thought was supposed to be a light moment and makes a light moment out of a cutthroat vicious line. He flips everything on its side.”
Leo Gushes Over Meryl Streep, with whom he co-starred in Marvin’s Room: “I was 18 when I got to work with Meryl,” he said. “I remember going over my lines with her off camera, looking at her and thinking to myself, ‘What is going on here? How is this going to look good?’ Then when I sat in the theater, it was, ‘Oh, my God, she’s the only person who looks completely natural.’ Meryl may be the greatest actor in the world.”
River Phoenix Had Been Leo’s Hero: “When I was 18, River Phoenix was far and away my hero….I always wanted to meet him. One night, I was at this Halloween party, and he passed me. He was beyond pale – he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That’s a lesson.”
DiCaprio Holds Spielberg and Scorsese In High Esteem: “The only other person who knows as much about film as Martin Scorsese is Steven Spielberg….I went from working with Marty on Gangs of New York to working with Steven on Catch Me If You Can. I had to publicize both movies at the same time, and people would always ask me, What are the differences between Spielberg and Scorsese? All I could find myself talking about was the similarities.”
Leo also listed his Top 5 Favorite Movies:
1. The Bicycle Thief
2. Taxi Driver
3. 8 & frac12
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. East of Eden
