“When I was 19 I was drinking... I was at a bar and I had a few drinks and I thought, 'You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to leave my car here, be responsible.' And I started to walk home. And I was hit by a drunk driver.”
For the next three days, Reynolds was in a coma.

In the last year George has been convicted of under the influence of marijuana and sentenced to eight weeks behind bars, and the embarrassment of having a slob kabob as a boyfriend proved to be too much for Kenny.
An insider revealed: "The writing has been on the wall for some time. There are only so many second chances Kenny was prepared to give. He's been loyal to George from day one, but that hasn't always been reciprocated."
They've been spending a lot of time apart as well. George is based in the UK and Kenny is staying in Dallas, Texas.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Kenny runs an incredibly successful gallery. With Kenny in the US, they spend so much time apart – and that's got worse over the last couple of years. It's really sad, but hopefully this could be the wake-up call George needs."
The only wake up call George likes these days are wake and bake ones. He’s a hot mess and nothing is going to change that. I have a faith that he’ll bounce back. Who do you see Georgey dating next? Let’s play matchmaker!

And he's about to follow in Lilo's footsteps and go to rehab for his substance abuse problems.
He said: “I want to beat my drug addiction and lead a normal life. I don’t want to end up back in prison. It’s a very horrible place to be.
“You’re not considered a person when you’re inside, you’re just a number and that freaked me out. I have done wrong and paid for this stupid crime and I want to get my life back on track.”
Hopefully he's serious about getting clean this time. He's been relatively MIA since he was released early from jail last week, and we're hoping it stays that way. We're rooting for you George!

George left Highpoint Prison in Suffolk, East England, Monday morning after serving four weeks of an eight-week sentence for driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cannabis.
Not only did he only serve half his sentence, he had to moved from London’s tough Pentonville Prison to the softer, category C jail, where he revealed he was treated “with kindness” by fellow inmates.
He said: “During my time here in prison, I think it's only fair to my fans, family and friends to respond in some way, even though I will be home soon. So please believe me when I tell you that in the last three weeks there have been no tears, no anxiety, no bullying, in fact not so much as a sleepless night for me. On the contrary, I have been treated with kindness by fellow in-mates and prison staff alike and as far as I can tell, have received no special treatment of any kind whatsoever.
"Most of my days have been spent reading thousands of letters and postcards of incredible support from people around the world. I promise to repay their kindness with new music as soon as I possibly can."
Let's just hope he learned some valuable lessons in jail and will think twice before getting wasted and getting behind the wheel of a car again.

George had previously pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and possessing two cannabis joints. He was found slumped at the wheel of his car after crashing into a photography shop in Hampstead, north London, on July 4. Classic George.
He was finally handed a jail sentence at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court today for being such a slob kabob. Four weeks of the sentence will be served in prison, while the remaining time will be spent under the supervision of the probation service.
The judge took into account the fact George had checked into a rehab clinic immediately after the incident and his charity work, but confirmed he had no choice but to jail him.
At a court appearance in August he was banned from driving for six months and warned he could be sent to prison following a similar charge in 2007, in which he received a 100-hour community service order.
It's about time he did some time for his reckless behavior. It's a good thing no one has gotten seriously injured while he's been behind the wheel!

Michael went to court in London today where he admitted possessing cannabis during the time of his latest car crash. Michael crashed his car into a shop last month.
The Judge banned him from driving for the next 6-months and will sentenced at a later date.
Michael should start getting ready for jail because there is a big chance that's where he's gonna end up. He's already done community service and clearly that did not help him clean up his act. We think the judge should give him the Lindsay Lohan sentence. Jail and mandatory rehab!

A judge just formally charged him with drug possession and driving while intoxicated. He was charged this morning and later freed on bail to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court later this month.
The charges stem from an incident last month, when George, who just recently finished a two-year driving ban, was arrested after losing control of his Range Rover and crashing into the door of a shop in the early hours of July 4th. It was after attending the Gay Pride parade in London.
He was also arrested in September 2008 after being caught in a public toilet in possession of crack cocaine and marijuana. The year before he was handed 100 hours community service for drug driving after being found slumped at the wheel of his Mercedes car by police.
He recently talked about his drug use saying: "People want to see me as tragic with all the cottaging and drug-taking. I don't see them as weaknesses any more. It's just who I am. I've done different things at different times that I shouldn't have done, once or twice, you know. Of course, nobody wants to regularly smoke crack."
This guy needs rehab more badly than Lindsay Lohan! Someone should ship him off to a rehab center for a few months, because at this rate, he's sure to harm himself or someone else while high or drunk behind the wheel of a car.
He reportedly lost control of his car and hit it after attending the Gay Pride parade in London on Saturday.
A police spokesman told The Sun newspaper: “A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive.”
Someone should just take this guys license away from him. It seems like he is always unfit to drive.
Michael was arrested back in 2008 after being caught with crack cocaine in a public toilet.
One year prior, he was arrested and had to complete 100 hours of community service for drunk driving.
The judge either needs to send his ass to rehab or take his license away from him at this point!

The male list was predominantly made up of gay men including Sir Elton John and George Michael but everyone's favorite footballer David Beckham also made the list.
Meanwhile, the female list was full of glamorous female stars – including singers Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Cher.
A spokesperson from www.OnePoll.com, who commissioned the survey of over 5,000 gay men and women, said: “Interestingly only one of the men in the top 10 list of male celebrity gay icons isn’t gay – David Beckham. And yet most of the women put on a pedestal by the gay community are straight.
“It just shows that to advocate a certain way of living, you don’t have to live the lifestyle but simply be more accepting of those around you.”

The police took him in for questioning after his Range Rover collided with the heavy goods vehicle in Berkshire, England.
They initially believed that Michael might have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol but he was released without any charges after the questioning.
Michael did confirm that he was involved in a car accident but said that he was "stone cold sober" and he did not want his fans or family "worried by what they are reading," according to the Associated Press
The cops probably assumed he was drunk because Michael has a history of drinking and driving. He was banned from driving back in 2007 after he pleaded guilty to driving while under the influence of drugs. Michael just recently got his license back.
