Being named "celebrity mum of the year" by some British company seems to be a bad bad omen like no other. I remember when Kerry Katona was named that very thing, and she soon after spiralled out of control in every which way imaginable. There are other notable examples of this too.
But hey, Britney has already done all that spiralling, so who knows with her?
Really though, I just don't see the point of ridiculous titles like that, they are obvs meaningless...
@applejuice: Mel "Scary Spice" B was also declared Spectacle Wearer of the Year, even though she didn't need glasses and wore them, ooh, ONCE for a photo op. Good times.
Alice Tully Hall is NOT across the street from the Metropolitan Opera House. That would be Avery Fisher Hall. ATH is about a block and a half away and half the size, so Mischa was extra-confused.
@FormerEnglishMajor: P.S. Avery Fisher Hall is actually at a right angle to the Metropolitan Opera House, and both facilities are in the "center" of Lincoln Center's pedestrian area and face Josie Robertson Plaza. Alice Tully Hall is truly just across the street--West 65th Street, specifically--from the opera house, though the low-lying Beaumont and Newhouse Theaters nestle on the Met's north side. (I'm not sure how you would calculate a block-and-a-half's distance between the opera house and Tully, unless you started from the Met's northwest corner).
Mischa may have had other problems recently, but her land navigation skills are okay in this case.

@The Lone Scout: I cannot even address the joke...! But Alice Tully is pretty far from the Met Opera. You have to walk that whole plaza to get to the Opera entrance. You either go all the way down to the front and walk the whole plaza, or go down 65th and up the stairs, etc. - it's not close. She just saw a crowd and hopped out of the cab, pretty much.
@FormerEnglishMajor: I've worked there and, granted, there's more than a stone's throw from Tully to the Met. But the post does state that Mischa "booked it across the street" from Tully, so conceivably she dashed across 65th and the plaza in time for curtain up at the Met (thanks to modern chemistry?).
@The Lone Scout: eh, probably had a box so maybe she didn't see the chandeliers rise. Though that probably would have looked good through the drugged haze.
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs are the bane of every female over the age of 19's existence. In the boudoir, give me a GE Soft White (in the closet, door partially closed) or one of those solar eclipse boxes with the pin prick to let in light. Otherwise, you might as well line my bed with satin curtains and give it brass handles.
Howard K. Stern is guilty as sin and blatantly responsible for slowly manipulating Anna into a pill popping junkie one fix at a time. He will undoubtedly have to answer for his actions, sooner or later.
What I'm really wondering though, how is Bobby Trendy coping with all of this and where is her reality show?
This story always made me so angry. Anna Nicole should've been obliged to get her pharmaceuticals over the internet like the rest of us. Justice is served.
I'm so pleased that there is follow up in this case. Irresponsible prescribing is as bad or worse than selling illegal drugs. For one thing, doctors, ALL doctors have an ethical obligation to act in their patient's best interest.
Since medical records are generally considered private, the excuse of prescribing under someone else's name is ridiculous not to mention that it could have the effect of having the person who loans his or her name for it in trouble. Plus it is essentially identity theft.
It is one thing to not be able to stop a train wreck. It's another thing altogether to keep pulling the throttle.
