Said she was found with pain pills? Why does she need pain pills? Is she in pain? I sure just from listening to the brouhaa about her. Who cares anyway? More money than she knows what to do with. Another "star" or so she thinks...looking for press. I'm bored with all of Hollywood! Well, the ones who are out there all the time anyway.
