Give her a break... She was trying to take care of her jet-lag, but Eva Mendes drank all the goddamn Red Bulls.

This is so heart-breaking. Mackenzie Phillips struggled for so many years to get off drugs. And she beat it and gave everyone hope that they could too.

If Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson announce they are getting a divorce, I'm jumping off of a cliff.

@BabyJane: You weren't disemvoweled for being offensive. You were disemvoweled for repeating a joke in the post's first sentence.

Seth

I just wanted to post an apology if my previous comment offended anyone. I meant nothing malicious or unkind by it and if it came across that way I am genuinely sorry. I promise you that was not my intent.

BabyJane

Baggies and balloons sounds invasive.

I remember she played a addiction counselor on Beverly Hills 90210. Wait til I tell Dylan about this news.

When they say "recovered" that usually involves laxatives, rubber gloves and a cavity search.

And just a note on the Jeopardy answer posted in the picture, Valerie Bertinelli is not married to Eddie Van Halen anymore.

I'll tell Schneider his stash has been recovered.

To be fair, the sign doesn't specifically mention anything about heroin balloons. However, one has to be stoopid to put those in one's luggage...this is what body orifices were made for.

@Scout 3.0: The problem is you never beat it - you just keep it from beating you.

Perhaps the "recovery" process employed by TSA should be filmed and shown as part of a Public Service Announcement. Envisioning a group of strangers with batons and rubber gloves surrounding you at the Orlando Airport should be enough to scare anyone straight.

Baggies and balloons? Isn't that why they invented cokepants?

Whiteboyfunfark

Are we sure she wasn't just carrying it for Tatum O'Neal, who just needed it for research for a role?

@WGARefugee: How about the Mick Jagger incident. John was nearby. Good call, "Dad."

Mackenzie just hasn't been the same ever since she spent that crazy night driving around with Milner.

graverobber- It says Loud Pipes Save Lives

Her dad taught her how to roll joints when she was 10 and how to inject cocaine when she was 17 but he never taught her how not to get busted at airports. There's no excuse for this kind of neglect.

WGARefugee

She should have pulled a Lindsay Lohan, claiming she borrowed them from a "friend"

Take note, Miley. This is your future.

Yipes, that sounds suspiciously traffic-y. I mean, how many doses do you really need to carry for yourself?

raincoaster

Oh, much ado about nothing. They advise you to put your drugs in plastic baggies - she just put hers in colored balloons for smuggling, that's all. Silly mistake. Use clear, plastic balloons for heroin and cocaine, that's the TSA way.

McKenzie Phillips and Andy Dick are the only true Rockstars we have left.

So no word about the lucky TSA goon who got to go home to his wife and say, "guess whose ass I looked in today?"

It's only fair. My 8 ounce bottle of Garnier mousse (take it easy, times is tight) was confiscated by an intrepid woman named Doris. Rules are rules.

gwendemarco

Sorry, can't let it go. Do they think people WANT to do this stuff, make asses of themselves? Of course they fucking don't!

drunkashell

Damn! Not any of the posters so far, btw, but people snarking on addicts really piss me off. Why do they do this stuff? Because they're ADDICTS! Unless you are one, you can't possibly understand, much less pass judgement. Obviously someone who is carrying baggies and balloons through an airport isn't thinking clearly! Once this monkey is on your back, you never get rid of it. It's a life sentence, even if it is self-inflicted. The patronizing tone of some people makes me want to rip my hair out. They'll never get it, and fucking wonderful for them.

drunkashell

I hate the T.S.A.!!!! nuff said.

@drunkashell: "It's a life sentence, even if it's self inflicted".

That's the point. Once you've gained sobriety, it's YOUR job to keep clean. It's not easy, but lots of folks do it.
That said, a slip is a slip. Hopefully this kind of public acknowlegement may actually help her get/stay clean again. You have to hit bottom to want to reach for the top. Misplaced "kindness" and "understanding" is the same old co-dependant bullshit that keeps addicts running around and around like hampsters on a running wheel.
The good news? She's alive and has another chance at sobriety. The bad? Party's over. For now.
Tough love baby, all the way.

@drunkashell: You mean "people who say things that are entirely different from what's been posted here really piss me off, therefore I'm going to harsh on them in this comment thread?" Is that what you meant? I think the Narconon forum is that way...

raincoaster

... and if you take anything that is said in this forum so seriously that it actually pisses you off? .. you might be a redneck!

@Seth: I thought it was an "Eddie Van Halen with half a tongue" joke.
