Melanie Griffith

Melanie Griffith
"Working Girl" star Melanie Griffith is in rehab again, her publicist confirmed to Star magazine. Griffith, 52-year, checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge Rehab Facility, the previous temporary home of Lindsay Lohan and Kirsten Dunst. While her publicist cited Griffith's "commitment to stay healthy" as the reason for her admission, FOXNews.com's Pop Tarts learned that she checked herself in part because husband Antonio Banderas, 49, would have no more of her erratic behavior.
One possible example? Someone who had recently worked with her told Pop Tarts that Griffith "had a multitude of crazy demands, including insisting everything around her, from the food to the flowers, be yellow." So that would make her diet lemons, bananas, and ... what else, yellow squash? We're not sure what the color scheme is at Cirque Lodge.
Melanie Griffith has checked into a rehab facility, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. "She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy," says her rep Robin Baum. "This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago."

How To Make Shake And Bake Meth

How To Make Shake And Bake Meth
Shake and Bake Meth Is Meth Made Easier It's not just for chicken anymore. The once famous bread crumb coating for chicken and pork is now being used to describe the faster and easier way to make methamphetamine. Shake and bake meth is all the rage, allowing meth users and makers to produce the drug on the run and in smaller doses thereby bypassing the laws intended to stop the production of this deadly drug.
What one needs to make shake and bake meth almost sounds like an episode of MacGyver: an empty two-liter soda bottle, a few handfuls of cold pills and some noxious household chemicals and you got a mini meth lab in a bottle. Apparently, you have to do Shake the bottle and the volatile chemical reaction produces one of the most addictive drugs in the entire world. While shake and bake meth may be seen as good news by meth users and sellers, it is certainly not good news for the rest of us. Although easier, shake and bake meth is just as dangerous to make as traditional meth.
Shake and bake meth doesn't even require a flame like a traditional meth lab nor does it give off the foul odor normally associated with manufacturing methamphetamine. Shake and bake meth also requires far less pills of decongestant pseudoephedrine (aka cold medicine) which allows for meth users and sellers to fly under the radar as the purchase of this drug is regulated to prevent the manufacturing of methamphetamine. The small amount of cold medicine required to make shake and bake meth doesn't trigger suspicion that someone is making the deadly drug.

Heather Podesta

Heather Podesta
Heather Podesta is the striking DC lobbyist who has made a name for herself as one of the toughest sharks in Washington waters. Sometimes with and sometimes against husband and fellow lobbyist Tony Podesta, Heather is having the summer of her life, according to a Washington Post profile. But Heather Podesta is enjoying the heavy workload, with the intersection of health care, economic reform, and environmental reform creating a perfect storm for Washington lobbyists.
The article paints Heather as the ultimate insider, constantly trading in the currencies of power, influence and good old cash. Heather Podesta is high-profile for a lobbyist and earlier this year, she and her husband donated Shepard Fairey's "Hope" portrait of Barack Obama to the National Portrait Gallery. She's also donated more than $48,000 so far this year to various political candidates and groups, and her life consists of nearly non-stop fundraisers.
"This is a very good time to be a Democratic lobbyist ... it's incredibly exciting to be able to engage with Democrats and really see things happen," Podesta told the Post. "It's always a good time to be Heather Podesta." When President Obama began vilifying lobbyists during his campaign, Heather took offense and commissioned a Gothic-style scarlet L, which she wore as a mark of pride. She says the L soon became a hot item and she gave away more than 100 of them.
