    Eric Roberts in 'Rehab' for Rx Marijuana Habit

    By PopEater Staff  Posted Jul 26th 2010 05:14PM
    Eric Roberts moved into Dr. Drew Pinsky's Pasadena Recovery Center last week for a crippling addiction to prescription marijuana, his wife has revealed.

    The 'Pope of Greenwich Village' actor has been off hard drugs and alcohol for 15 years, Eliza Roberts tells E! News. "He has no interest in anything, other than marijuana."

    Roberts has anxiety issues, so he turned to doctor-prescribed weed for relief after traditional medication did not agree with his body. He had no such issue with the marijuana. "However, a dependency is a dependency and he doesn't want to be dependent on it anymore."

    Grown Up Joey Lawrence Kept the 'Y' -- Here's Why

    By Nicki Gostin  Posted Jul 26th 2010 04:01PM

    You can almost establish how old someone is by when they first laid eyes on Joey Lawrence. In the '80s, he was adorable Joey Donovan on 'Gimme a Break,' co-starring the late, great Nelle Carter. The following decade, he was long-haired teen heartthrob Joey Russo on 'Blossom.' A few years ago, he made America go "Whoa!" yet again when he placed third on 'Dancing With the Stars.' And next month he'll be starring opposite Melissa Joan Hart in the ABC Family sitcom 'Melissa & Joey.' Unsurprisingly, his character -- a male nanny or "manny" -- is also named Joey.

    PopEater talked to the affable star about his new show, his enduring career and his rationale for sticking with Joey rather than changing it to the more mature Joe or Joseph.

    Summer Means a New Haircut for 'Avengers' Star Scarlett Johansson

    By The Editors of StyleList  Posted Jul 26th 2010 02:10PM
    Scarlett Johansson at Comic-Con for The AvengersThe film fans may have been talking about Scarlett Johansson's appearance at Comic-Con because of her film projects. StyleList was talking about it because of her new haircut.

    The 25-year-old actress debuted a new bob haircut this weekend when she appeared on 'The Avengers' panel at Comic-Con. Shoulder-length and layered with a slight wave, Johansson fashioned her locks in a carefree, bedhead style that looked hip and sexy.

    Back in May, Johansson created a splash with her black catsuit-clad attire and curly red hair in 'Iron Man 2.' She then went back to her blonde roots to appear on the cover of V Magazine with sexy lingerie shots inside. InStyle also featured her on May's cover, but with ringlet-like curls. And most recently, working as the alluring model for international retailer Mango, Johansson wore a '70s-inspired 'do with long auburn-colored locks.

    Out of all these looks, we are perhaps partial to her newest haircut -- which is especially provocative when paired with black crop, tuxedo blazer, black bustier and black slacks all by Dolce & Gabbana.

    Rumors have spread that a toxic mold may have been partially to blame for the deaths of Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjack, but Murphy's mom calls those reports 'absurd,' according to PEOPLE.

    "In the last eight months, I have been through the most unimaginable events, which no one could ever fathom. I have and will continue to be very cooperative and fully comply with any such request," she added.

    "It's absurd that this kind of misinformation is being reported by the media," Sharon contuned.

    Another Day, Another Mel Gibson Tape and This Time, Tim Dalton's a Target

    By PopEater Staff  Posted Jul 26th 2010 12:45PM
    Mel Gibson and OksanaRadar Online has posted another in its series of Mel Gibson tapes and this time, a former James Bond star is in his sights.

    The new tape, which can be heard in its entirety at Radar Online shows a jealous Gibson throwing verbal grenades towards Oksana Grigorieva's former lover Timothy Dalton.

    The horrendous language is still there, but anyone who has heard the bulk of the tapes would also agree that this time, Gibson sounds more tired than usual. Gone is the panting as well as the shouting. Grigorieva also does not participate in the conversation, leaving Gibson to get nasty all by himself.

    "You should go and ---- him, because I don't care. You offend me on every level," says Gibson with some other colorful language around it which we'll leave for you to listen to on Radar.

    Valerie and TomValerie Bertinelli revealed back in May that she was letting her long-time boyfriend Tom Vitale plan their fall wedding. Every man's dream, right? You'd expect a glitz-y wedding with rock stars (her ex is Eddie Van Halen) and big Hollywood types, but instead Vitale and his bride-to-be have decided to keep things small. REALLY small.

    "For me, it feels silly. I'm 50. It's not about the wedding. I just want to have a marriage," Bertinelli told PEOPLE last week. "We're going to get married in Italy, just the two of us and a witness."
