We’ve got various reports going that Colin Farrell has either overdosed on a tremendous amount of drugs or he’s checked himself into a hospital for exhaustion and dependency on prescription medication. Most of the respectable news agencies are going with the exhaustion angle, but I like to think outside the box so I’m just going to go ahead and say that he totally overdosed. Plus reader Anabelle sent in this link to a French Canadian newspaper that says he overdosed, and even provided this brilliant translation:
they found cocaine, marijuana and non-identified (is it even a word?) drugs in his blood. and he’s still alive. and blah blah blah, not really good at translating stuff.
I can’t read a lick of French, so for all I know it says he passed out after a night of love-making to a donkey, but I’ll take Anabelle‘s word and assume he overdosed. Maybe after a night of love-making to his donkey friend Enrique?

Yahoo says he has checked himself into a hospital for exhaustion and prescription dependency, blah, blah, blah. Maybe while he’s there he can shower and shave. I like my men well-groomed, and he disgusts me.

He had an overdose while filming Urugay, based on Miami Vice series. They basicaly say he had traces of cocaine, pot and other “unidentified” type of drug in blood. Doctors say he survived it.
He must have tried too hard to get into his character miami vice way…

Guess he’s confused as to whether he’s playing Crockett or Tubbs

Hopefully while he is passed out cold in the hospital, some fashion-minded nurse will grab a pair of fine tweezers and tame his damn eyebrows to a respectable level.

How can he play Sonny Crockett’s role? Sonny wasn’t a dwarf. Colin’s a little troll man.
I suspect that the unidentified drug in his system was donkey semen.

I think he was sick of people thinking he was gay, but being in about four roles in a row where you’re sort of a homosexual…that’d do it. But he says he doesn’t mind, so I think it was the donkey thing too.

Reminds me of my youth. :sigh: To be young and hot like Colin (but not gay) I’d sell Hillary to China.

Is it wrong that after hearing this I did a happy dance in my underwear and called everybody “sweet rainbow pie”? Because if it is, I don’t want to be right.

Seems like Terry has been doing lines of donkey semen too, what with him (her?) posting the lame-ass Superficial rip-off (now, humour-free! (but what would you expect from some git from Toronto?!?)) blog of his/her’s in every comment section here.
Try smoking it, Terry, you might make more sense.

*they found cocaine, marijuana and non-identified (is it even a word?) drugs in his blood. and he’s still alive. and blah blah blah, not really good at translating stuff.*
“…another Substance that could not be identified..”
Maybe the specimen had such a small concentration of the mystery medication, blood analysis couldn’t differentiate.

this is indeed a dark day. i can only pray he exorcises his inner demons and finds serenity in a new, drug-free life by following the ten step program which has, to date, saved countless celebrities drowning in excess (note: it has two fewer steps than a.a. or n.a., and is thus, simpler for him to grasp). the ten step program prescribes:
1) releasing a new box office turd every three months in which he convincingly masters a new accent while staging rough trade
2) jumping on the couch with tom cruise… or simply jumping on tom cruise
3) setting up a support network with orlando bloom, jude law, clive owen, and warwick davis (star of “leprechaun”, “leprechaun 2″, “leprechaun 3: leprechaun in space”, and “leprechaun 4: back 2 da hood”) to assure each other of their respective places in history among the thespian greats (not to mention the perk of showtune/midget porn file-sharing)
4) working with a crack team of publicists/military strategists to stage an international press conference each week assuring the public he is undeniably irish and, moreover, 100% heterosexual (though apparently no other irish citizen can confirm these claims–save the notable exception of w. b. yeats’ great-great grandson francis “poofy” yeats, phd., renowned alexander the great scholar at dublin’s trinity college, fellow (anglo) irishman, showtune/midget porn enthusiast, and executive producer of “s.w.a.t. 2: cruise control”)
5) practicing smoking, smirking, swearing, and looking dangerously sexy in the mirror for a minimum of ninety minutes each sunrise–all completely substance-free
6) plucking his eyebrows and donating the discarded hair to “locks of love” in order to benefit needy chemotherapy patients
7) hiding from service in vietnam behind his rich daddy, failing in the oil business, sinking a major league baseball franchise, finding jesus, then finally running for president of the united states in order to accelerate the apocalypse
8) releasing a roots reggae album with bai ling
9) relapsing within 60 days, then calling the papparazzi to photograph him after a week-long robitussin/nitrous oxide/airplane glue bender, passed out nude in the sack of his waldorf-astoria suite with co-star jared leto, journalist/surgery enthusiast tara reid, television host and a.a. sponsor pat o’brien, a bellhop, another bellhop, the second bellhop’s acquaintance from the gas station in camden, nj the other night, oopsy the clown (of early sunday morning fame in the detroit/toledo uhf television market from 1978-80), oopsy’s puppet friend socky, neo-con political pundit ann coulter, multi-generational singing sensation meatloaf, the ectoplasmic form of what appears to be river phoenix, rap superstar young jeezy, the hamburgler, and an unnamed transgender goat (either a bangkok “kathoey” stage performer or a greek shipping heir, according to reliable industry sources)
10) gaining 40 kg on a strict diet of bacon, fried snickers bars and egg nog, then dying mid-movement on the loo
i am not ashamed to admit this ten step program was my beacon in the dead of my own darkest nights, back when i was perpetually drunk, high, sexually confused, spiritually bankrupt, and paid millions of dollars each year for no discernible reason… may it guide him into the peaceful harbor of sobriety my soul has since found, and may l. ron hubbard watch over him always…

Colin Farrell…..what is his purpose? Is he an actor? I swear I can’t get past his stupid eyebrows to even listen to his dialogue. He is SOOOOO NOT hot! He looks like he’s greasy, dirty, and covered in lice.
