This year has already been a rough one for the former Ms. Kutcher and cougar, Demi Moore. The forty-nine-year-old actress was rushed to the hospital this week after doing, “whip-its.” In other words, she was inhaling nitrous oxide, according to reports by TMZ.

Apparently, Moore had a little bit more than she could handle and exhibited signs of a seizure. She was also reportedly semi-conscience when she was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital by paramedics.

Call me crazy, but this might have something to do with Ashton Kutcher’s recent reports of wild nights partying with super models. However, sources close to Moore claim that while Kutcher is whooping it up at the bar, he still leans on her for support.

Nitrous oxide also known as laughing gas is used by dentists and doctor’s office as a mild anesthesia. However, without proper administration of this gas by a medical professional it can lead to: disorientation, lack of coordination, unconsciousness, and seizures.

Coming soon to a Starbucks near you….beer? For over a year, five Starbucks in Seattle and Portland, Ore., have been serving vino or brew to its customers.

After testing out what Starbucks describes as an, “evening day-part concept,” the coffee company that has become ubiquitous with the terms: tall, skinny, and latte, will be rolling out the barrel of booze and some tapas-style food offerings.

And now, Starbucks customers over the age of 21 in Atlanta and Southern California can enjoy a taste of the frosty brew alongside their roast of the day.

Is this good for business or should Starbucks leave it up to the restaurants?

I feel sorry for actor, Mark Wahlberg. There, I said it. Personally, I was wild about Wahlberg when he was still known as Marky Mark. The former leader of the Funky Bunch made some apparently upsetting remarks regarding United Flight 93 that crashed on 9/11.

While being interviewed for the cover story in Men’s Journal magazine, the forty-year-old actor was asked how he felt about being scheduled on the ill-fated United Flight 93 that crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa.

Here is the answer from Wahlberg that angered the families of those that lost their lives:

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.”

In his defense, that might be how ANY one of us would have fantasized about how we would have handled it today. However, his juvenile answer I felt came from the protective place of a parent. I myself, have had similar fantasies every time the media splashes Casey Anthony’s face across the TV or the face of any person that would harm a child.

I was more impressed with his answers regarding his dedication to his family, faith and work. A combo for me, that makes it easy to forgive.
