Demi's Trigger: Death of AA Sponsor?

(Newser) – Did the death of her Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor trigger Demi Moore's downward spiral? The New York Daily News thinks so, pointing to a People report from December claiming Moore was "noticeably upset" at Pattsy Rugg's funeral, which occurred less than two weeks after Moore and Ashton Kutcher announced their split. Rugg had apparently become a mother figure for Moore, who doesn't have a great relationship with her real mom, the Daily News notes.

Before being rushed to the hospital Monday, Moore was hosting a birthday party for a friend, E! reports. Moore was "pretty hyper," says one source; another says she was "acting crazy." It was after most of the guests left that Moore started to convulse, and a friend who was still there called 911. Another source tells Radar Moore "has been taking Adderall and drinking energy drinks and starving herself. ... She’s constantly jacked up on Adderall." As for Kutcher, a source tells People he is "deeply concerned" about his ex. Click to see who has replaced Moore in the Linda Lovelace biopic.

Am I the only one sick of hearing about this stupid old mound of gristle? "oh, i have no acting career, i'll just marry a guy 1/2 my age to get attention!" "Oh, he left me, I'll just OD like a teenager to get some attention!" Demi, we could see you only had an IQ of 40 when you fell for Ashton, please just dry up and blow away, you're disgusting and old and we're all really fucking sick of hearing about you. Or next time you OD on kid-drugs, do it right and DIE, we all promise to be really sad for about a day, ok?
