(Newser) – Demi Moore had "smoked something ... similar to incense" and was "semi-conscious, barely," says the worried voice on the 911 call to get Moore help, reports the AP. When the operator asks if Moore's breathing is normal, a friend responds, "No, not so normal. More kind of shaking, convulsing, burning up," her voice sounding panicked. "Demi, can you hear me?" asks another woman. "Yes, she's squeezing hands. ... She can't speak." Moore is better by the end of the call, a male voice says. An earlier report suggested Moore was using nitrous oxide. Click for more.
