Mischa Barton Says She Was Drugged While Celebrating Her Birthday

... @Lori Mc Cue. (Getty Images). Mischa Barton said Friday that her hospitalization last week was the result of being drugged at her birthday party. The actress was taken to a Southern California hospital by emergency responders on Thursday, after officers responded to reports of a woman yelling. In a statement to People magazine , Barton said she was celebrating her birthday with friends on Jan. 25, when she realized her behavior was becoming increasingly “erratic.” The statement continued: “I voluntarily went to get professional help, and I was informed by their staff that I had been given GHB [a depressant]. After an overnight stay, I am home and doing well.” —Express/AP. (Getty Images). That explains that Adele voodoo doll. In a new interview with British GQ , Ed Sheeran explained his obsession with outperforming his peers in the music industry, saying that Adele is his biggest competition. “Adele is the one person who’s sold more records than me in the past 10 years,” he said. “She’s the only person I need ...

Pronger To Suit Up For Blues Alumni

... injury list until his contract was traded to Arizona for salary-cap purposes in July 2015. His deal doesn’t expire until after this season, but though he’s still officially an active player, those days are obviously over, which allowed for his early enshrinement into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November 2015. He now works in the NHL’s Department of Player Safety, which punishes players who are guilty of the same style that defined his reputation. The opportunity to see Pronger back on the ice 12 years after he last suited up for the Blues will be one that fans attending the 1:30 p.m. game against the Chicago Blackhawks will cherish, as will he. “I’m sure it will be a little emotional to get back on the ice and skate around and play in the game,” Pronger said. “I don’t really know what to expect, how I’m going to feel, but I do know one thing — that I only know how to play the game one way. There’s a few (Blackhawks) that I’m sure already know they’re going to get it. So hey, we’ll see how it goes.”. The Blues will be sending out a legendary lineup, but among the main ...

... are in the lead-up. For instance, Bruce Affleck has to get his hip replaced next week, but he’s waiting and waiting just to be able to play in the game, to have his family see him on the ice.

Pronger Sees Gig With Player Safety Department As Stepping Stone To Gm Job

... now is on the side of the law. To Pronger, his inclusion in helping decide who should be punished for unscrupulous on-ice activity makes perfect sense. “Fans around the league know me as a villain because I was entertaining,” Pronger said. “I played the game, A) to win, but B) since the fans are paying good money to watch us play and I wanted to entertain them. You have to extricate yourself from that vision of what I appeared to be. People who have never talked to me, only saw me interviewed by some media people when I was being funny or being a jerk, but they don’t know me as a person. They only know the persona of a person that is playing a sport…a game. I played the game the way I did because that was how I was effective. The way I played the game doesn’t define who I am or how I think.”. The fact of the matter is Pronger is a very ...

Ilya Bryzgalov Conquers Fear Of Bears At 2017 Nhl All-star Game

... machine for a quick refresher as to why this is Twitter gold. Before the Flyers' 2012 playoff series with Pittsburgh began, Bryzgalov proclaimed he did not fear the Penguins and he only feared bears. His reasoning is quite sobering. A while ago, Bryzgalov saw photos of someone he knew being killed by a bear during a hunting trip. Still, Bryzgalov's answer became another soundbite that went viral. "I’m not afraid of anything," Bryzgalov said. "I’m afraid of bears, but bears in the forest.". As a result, Penguins fans taunted Bryzgalov during Games 1 and 2 in Pittsburgh, dressing up as polar and brown bears. In a series that saw a total of 56 goals in six games between the two teams, it was Bryzgalov's Flyers who advanced, winning the series, 4-2. But on Sunday night, Bryzgalov showed exactly why despite his play on the ice, he's still beloved by Flyers fans and the hockey world. He's ...
