Today's Hollywood Drug Report

 
     
  Hollywood, the land where people fall off the wagon so often they practically bounce. Yesterday Robert Downey, Jr.'s hearing on the Palm Springs case was rescheduled to May 24th in light of his most recent arrest (see earlier story) and his speedy decision to enter yet another rehab center. State prison officials have indicated that they will order him into lock-down rehab for six months as a result of his parole violation.

Meanwhile, Aaron Sorkin, the lauded producer of The West Wing, was charged with posession of hallucinogenic mushrooms, rock cocaine and marijuana following his arrest while trying to take a plane to Las Vegas (see earlier story). The presence of the cocaine raises the stakes from misdemeanor to felony. He's due in court for arraignment today.
