Josh Peck has a new memoir titled "Happy People Are Annoying," and in it, he talks about how losing weight led to him to drug and alcohol addiction. Josh, who got famous from his role on "The Amanda Show" and starring on "Drake & Josh," weighed almost 300 pounds by the time he was 15. He eventually dropped 127 pounds, but, according to Josh, "It became clear that once I lost the weight that I was the same head in a new body. What is really clear is that I overdo things. And then I discovered drugs and alcohol. And that became my next chapter. I used food and then drugs to numb my feelings." When he realized he was close to losing everything he worked so hard to achieve, Josh started on the path to sobriety and has been sober since 2008, according to Radar.

More details are coming out about the court case involving Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust." According to the arbitration claim his lawyers filed, he was trying to complete the movie after Halyna Hutchins' death. In addition, he's now blaming her for the accident which caused her death. She allegedly "directed Baldwin to hold the gun higher, to a point where it was directed toward her. She was looking carefully at the monitor and then at Baldwin, and then back again, as she gave these instructions." Of course, both Alec and the late cinematographer shared the belief that the gun was cold and contained no live rounds. The attorneys also say he asked her if she wanted him to pull back the hammer and she said yes.
A survey from Buzz Bingo analyzed thousands of movie scripts to come up with a list of top-swearing movie stars, and Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio topped the list, which makes sense since the survey also revealed "The Wolf of Wall Street" as the most expletive-filled movie in history with 715 total swear words. However, Samuel L. Jackson, who found himself in third place, disagrees. He reacted to this information on "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon, saying, "That's some bullsh**!" sharing that he should have been first.

She's now focused on the future and "looking forward to my next chapter." Tarek El Moussa had a similar sentiment, saying, "I couldn't be more grateful for the last ten years with 'Flip or Flop.' The support from our fans, the network and the wild ride that it's been has been incredible. Even though the 'Flip or Flop' chapter is coming to a close, another exciting one is soon starting." An insider tells People magazine, "Tarek and Christina are generally cordial. They're co-parenting and nothing gets in the way of that.
The show was just too intimate of a setting at this point and it was time to close that chapter." I wouldn't worry about either one of them - rich people have a way of always landing on their feet – or in a big, soft pile of money.
