Courtney Love, now clean and sober for 15 months, says she had some high-profile help on her road to recovery: Mel Gibson.
While she was doing drugs with some men in a posh Beverly Hills hotel room, Love revealed on Tuesday's Good Morning America, the leading man – who himself only recently underwent his own sobering experience – showed up along with addiction counselor Warren Boyd.
"Mel kept coming to the door with this cheesy grin going, 'Hi!'" Love said. "I just kept looking at him going, 'Blank off!' … I know him and he's a nice guy, but it just didn't matter who it was. It could have been Jesus. I didn't care."
But the others doing drugs with her recognized Gibson and left with him to get a cheeseburger – leaving Boyd alone with Love to coax her into rehab.
"When I met (Yohane), I said I would be happy to … to bring (David) back to your village and help you financially raise him," the singer tells Vieira in the interview. "And he said no … I think he truly felt in his heart of hearts that – and who knows if he was telling me the truth – that he would have a better life with me. So, when he said no, that was my sign that it was my responsibility to look after him."
David Hans Schmidt says that he is representing the owner of a garbage hauling firm that found over 200 personal pictures of Cross, including her showering in the buff outside, in her garbage, according to Rush & Molloy. And even though Cross is demanding their return, arguing that they are the copyrighted property of her and her husband, Tom Mahoney, Schmidt says that the pictures "were not stolen. When you throw something away, you forfeit that property." Schmidt claims he also has the actress' tax returns, but "out of respect for Ms. Cross," won't discuss how much she makes.

Adams, 49, appears to be a rare example of someone who has largely _ but not totally _ recovered from Spasmodic Dysphonia, a mysterious disease in which parts of the brain controlling speech shut down or go haywire. As many as 30,000 Americans are afflicted, typically in their 40s and 50s, experts say.
One of the most peculiar aspects of SD is that victims are typically unable to have intimate conversations in their normal voice. Yet they can speak under different circumstances, such as immediately after sneezing or laughing, or in an exaggerated falsetto or baritone, or while reciting poetry, according to SD support groups.
Fox responded to Limbaugh in an interview with CBS, saying: "He used the word victim and on another occasion used the word pitiable. Understand that nobody in this position wants pity.
"We don't want pity. I could give a damn about Rush Limbaugh's pity or anyone else's pity. I'm not a victim," said Fox, who twitched and rocked throughout the interview.
The 45-year-old actor, best known for his roles in "Back to the Future" films and "Family Ties" sitcom, dismissed the claim that he exaggerated his symptoms.
Fox, who was diagnosed with the debilitating disease in 1991, said the tremors could result from a lack of, or too much of, the medication many Parkinson's sufferers take to allow them greater mobility.
Naomi Campbell is once again in trouble with the law.
British police arrested the supermodel on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting her drug counselor. The alleged victim made a formal complaint and Campbell was detained.
A spokesman for Campbell reportedly told a British newspaper, "We believe there has been a misunderstanding. Once police have investigated we are sure this will be resolved satisfactorily."
The incident is not the first time this year that Campbell, who has a history of anger management issues, has run afoul of the law.
In July she was arrested in London after causing a disturbance outside of the home of her ex, multi-millionaire Dubai playboy Badr Jafar.
And three employees have claimed she attacked them physically. Campbell was charged with second-degree assault in March for allegedly throwing a cell phone at housekeeper Ana Scolavino.
