Today we have only two sad little items. One about a comedian who's doing drugs, shockingly. The other is about, well, an actor who's doing drugs. But it's research for a role. So.

1) "Which funnyman doesn't even bother to hide his drug habit? When pals come to visit his pad, they're just as likely to see baggies of cocaine lying around as they are to see throw pillows." [NYDN]

2) "This B list movie actor is on the cusp of A list. He had a breakout year last year. He considers himself to be a method actor to some extent. For researching one role he spent a great deal of money on drugs. Just for research mind you. Since he considered the research crucial to his acting performance he wanted to know if he could deduct the $15,000 he spent on drugs." [CDaN]
