Madonna

Madonna,celebrity news madonna 240x370 Even pushing 50, Madonna seems to be in the best shape of her life and she\'s back on tour. But how does a woman in her late \'40s look like this? She literally works her butt off. Having an army of personal trainers, stylists, nutritionists and health gurus on the payroll must help, but we say everything in moderation. There\'s nothing wrong with having something for your kids to cuddle

Trinny Woodall

alcohol abuse,TV,celebrity news trinny woodall 240x370 She may be tall, slim and posh with a line in bestselling books and a TV show to boot, but Trinny once battled alcoholism. However, her addiction has stood her in good stead for empathising with women with self-esteem and other emotional problems on the \'What Not To Wear\' programme

Matthew Perry

drugs,TV,celebrity news matthew perry 240x370 Matthew Perry had to survive his addiction in the limelight of \'Friends\', and the whole world saw his weight plummet and increase with the prescription drug addiction he fought to overcome. Even though he spent years battling the problem, Matthew has been on an even keel for some time now and appears to be doing well

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham,music,celebrity news victoria beckham 240x370 Posh got her name while in the Spice Girls and, not wanting to disappoint, seems to spend her days shopping for that perfect outfit to live up to her posh monicker. With such a nickname it would be impossible for her to be seen anywhere but in the swankiest of designer shops and in all the latest designs. But with her ever-dropping weight, those designer frocks are obviously not boosting her self-esteem

Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue,addictions,celebrity news,kylie kylie minogue 240x370 Before her cancer diagnosis, Kylie was a workaholic who hadn\'t stopped since her days as Charlene in \'Neighbours\'. Working from the age of 17 Kylie has produced nine albums, a greatest hits collection and 39 singles to date, as well as appearing in \'Moulin Rouge\' and overseeing her Love Kylie lingerie range. Since her recovery and recent split with Olivier Martinez, Kylie\'s back at it, with her Showgirl tour and new V&A exhibition

Kelsey Grammer

drugs,alcohol abuse,TV,celebrity news kelsey grammar 240x370 Kelsey Grammer is the world\'s highest-paid television actor, earning more than £1 million for each half-hour episode of the hit series \'Frasier\', but he\'s paid a high price with addictions to both cocaine and alcohol. His life hasn\'t been easy; his father was murdered at the age of 38 and his sister was raped and murdered. He\'s fought to stay clean for years and is enjoying a second chance at being married and has a young daughter

Kate Moss

Kate Moss,drugs,rehab,celebrity news kate moss 240x370 She managed to keep her dabbling with drugs behind closed doors for years, but with photos of her allegedly snorting lines of cocaine recently splashed on the front page of every tabloid in Britain, Kate admitted defeat and retreated to The Meadows centre for rehabilitation. She lost millions of pounds\' worth of modelling contracts as a result, but Kate\'s star seems to be on the up again

Jamie Oliver

addictions,food,TV,celebrity news jamie oliver 240x370 Jamie Oliver just can\'t stop working. With a lovely wife and two beautiful little girls who won\'t be little for long, we question what drives Jamie to take on one massive work project after another, causing him infinite amounts of stress and necessitating time away from his loved ones. School dinners and Italian food will be around forever, Jamie, but your two little girls will soon be spreading their own wings

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman,alternative health,celebrity news nicole kidman 240x370 Nicole Kidman admits to being addicted to cigarettes, but has been trying to wean herself off them by smoking herbal versions. She claims that she won\'t know what to do with her hands if she stops, but that\'s not the greatest reason for upping your chances of lung cancer and setting a bad example to your children

Michael Douglas

celebrity love life,celebrity news,catherine zeta jones michael douglas 240x370 Although the very model of marriage material now, happily settled with two children and a beautiful wife in the form of Catherine Zeta Jones, once upon a time Michael was a regular love-\'em-and-leave-\'em type of guy. So much so that he had to have treatment for sex addiction. We\'re not even sure this is a real affliction, but if it is, we know a lot of men and women who\'d be found guilty!

Coleen McLoughlin

Victoria Beckham,Wayne Rooney,Coleen Rooney,addictions,celebrity news Colleen McLoughlin television awards Her other half may play for England, but this girl could shop for it. Unlike her posh counterpart, Victoria Beckham, Coleen is not fussy about where she shops. From Primark to Prada and New Look to Burberry, Coleen is like a child in a sweet shop

Danniella Westbrook

drugs,TV,celebrity news daniella westbrook 240x370 The former \'EastEnders\' star had a nasty shock when her 12-year cocaine habit knocked her two nostrils into one by destroying her septum. But she has put all that behind her now and is enjoying clean living with her husband and children. However, we think she may have swapped her cocaine addiction for a Burberry one, judging by some of her outfits

Eminem

drugs,celebrity news eminem 240x370 For a controversial rapper, Marshall Mathers\' addiction to sleeping pills was not very rock \'n\' roll, but did leave the artist in hospital due to what his PR called \'exhaustion\'. Ironic, really

Jocelyne Wildenstein

criminal offence,addictions,celebrity news bride of wildenstein 240x370 Now 58, Jocelyne was a fresh-faced mother of two until she discovered her billionaire art dealer husband Alec in bed with a 21-year-old. Hoping to keep him, she began a never-ending round of surgery to change her eyes, cheekbones and lips. But he left her anyway and, after £2,000,000 of cosmetic surgery, she ended up with the nickname the Bride of Wildenstein

Jade Goody

rehab,TV,celebrity news Jade Goody Following her disastrous appearance in \'Celebrity Big Brother\', Jade Goody avoided further media criticism by checking into The Priory. Rehab is now the obvious antidote for celebrity screw-ups such as Jade\'s, a symbol to the public of their repenting - and of course a good retreat from the limelight. But at a £4,732-a week price tag, you\'d hope it\'s worth it

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan,alcohol abuse,celebrity news Lindsay Lohan Lindsay checked into rehab to take care of her \'personal health\' after being frequently snapped exiting parties and night clubs on drunken binges and admitting to attending \'Alcoholics Anonymous\' meetings. The \'Mean Girls\' actress was criticised by producers for her poor time-keeping and attitude on the set for her film \'Georgia Rule\', suggesting \'heavy partying\' was to blame.

Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams,Russell Brand,Liam Gallagher,addictions,celebrity news Robbie Williams While it made big headlines, Robbie Williams checking himself into rehab on his 33rd birthday didn\'t surprise many. His first visit was in 1995 when Take That split for drug and alcohol abuse, and this time it\'s prescription drugs and 36 double espressos a day. To add to his woes, Robbie\'s check-in coincided with the Brit Awards, giving Liam Gallagher and Russell Brand ample ammunition
