From todays Page Six (I don't know if I I'm laughing or filled with fear):
ELTON John, during a party in the 1970s before he became sober, allegedly took so much Valium, he jumped into a hotel pool and shouted, 'I'm going to die,' " according to "Everybody Must Get Stoned: Rock Stars on Drugs," out this week from Citadel. The author, who calls himself R.U. Sirius although his name is Ken Goffman, reports: "His grandma commented: 'I suppose we're going to have to go home now.' " In the book's other "twisted highlights or lowlights" of rock 'n' roll:
* Iggy Pop and the Stooges between 1969 and '70 injected "massive amounts of drugs, mostly heroin. When setting up a hit, the Stooges would squirt the blood out of their syringes and shoot it all over the walls and ceilings."
* A friend of Jim Morrison recalls that the Doors frontman -- who would later die of an accidental overdose -- would "lean up against the bar, order eight screwdrivers, put down six Tuinals on the bar, drink two or three screwdrivers, take two Tuinals," be pleasured by a groupie, and then down more booze and drugs.
* When Dee Dee Ramone gave the Sex Pistols star Sid Vicious speed, "Vicious pulled out a syringe, stuck it into a toilet filled with puke, and then loaded it with speed and shot himself up."
* Ozzy Osbourne once told High Times he was poolside when he offered a stranger coke. "He goes, 'No, no, no.' I'm whacking this stuff up my nose . . . [and] I say, 'What do you do?' "He says, 'I work for the government . . . for the drug squad.' I sez, 'You're [bleep]ing joking.' He shows me his badge. I [bleep]in' flipped -- flames were coming out of my fingers, man. He says, 'Oh, you're all right. I'm the guy that got you the coke.' "

Why Can't Motley Crue Kiss Dr. Feelgood GOODBYE?
I know I harp on this way too much, but guys it ain't 1987 anymore so please let "Dr. Feelgood" die. It lived an amazing life but it's time to let go! Yeah yeah, I realize it's possible that it somehow ties in with the finale of "Bones" - where Crue will perform the song on May 14th. Ehhh.

BLITZ EXCLUSIVE: Motley Crue
With VINCE NIEL all plastic surgery'd out, NIKKI SIXX sober and TOMMY LEE thinking he's still 25, Motley Crue wants to attempt going back to their bad boy, rockstar ways. In an attempt to cause ruckus like its 1987 again, the Motley Crue (former) bad boys are planning a secret "Dr Feelgood"-esque fiasco for Monday afternoon. For their unnecessary press conference (announcing lineup for CrueFest 2 summer festival), the aging rockers will arrive in NYC riding a vintage ambulance filled with "half naked chicks dressed as sexy nurses." (A few other unmentionable words were used).
