Cocaine is more than a drug you wasted your parents’ money on during college. It’s also a drug that many celebrities waste their money on—and we all know this, man. With that said, it’s still quite a sight when someone famous is dumb enough to get caught in pictures or video with the infamous white powder.
The latest star to have his coke use documented is Ryan Ross, who’s had a helluva week: on Monday, he split from band Panic At The Disco, and then yesterday, the picture above surfaced. The drama unfolded when one of the hotties he’s pictured with posted the photo on Facebook. Smart. We could have guessed that Ross was snorting something after watching a PATD video, but you still have to keep that on the low, son. Keep reading to check out five more celebs who were caught on tape with that white girl…Christina Aguilera!
Big news! Maureen McCormick, better known as the actress who played Marcia Brady on the Brady Bunch, admits to trading sex for cocaine in her new tell-all book. Yay. Guess what honey: you’re not the first chick to become a cokehead and occasionally bang her dealer. Get over yourself.
One good thing to come of this though, is the reminder that impressionable young girls are susceptible to the white arts. Peep our list of 8 other great falls from grace by young actresses who discovered the dark side of “the party”…
It’s every little boy’s dream to one day play in the NFL, then get arrested for moving weight (no dumbbell). On Tuesday, former Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry fulfilled his dream when the Drug Enforcement Agency arrested him for allegedly taking part in a cocaine deal, serving as the money man for a multi-state drug ring.
If convicted, he faces a $4 million fine and a minimum of ten years in federal prison (Note to other RBs: That’s NOT what your coaches mean when they tell you to hit the hole). Much to the chagrin of the No Fun League, Henry is not the first pro to get wrapped up in the dope game. Check out all the league’s Most Valuable Drug Kingpins below…
We all know women and cocaine go together like lox and cream cheese, and bums and dick cheese. That's why we love current Complex cover fellasN.E.R.D.’s latest video for “Everyone Nose (Remix).” Pharrell, his best bud Chad, and that other dude Shay (not sure what he does, either) are joined by CRSers Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco, along with Clipse’s Pusha T, for an ’80s video game-themed clip that deifies all the ladies on the line for the bathroom.
However, “Everyone Nose (Remix)” is just the latest in a long tradition of hip-hop videos dedicated to scandalous freaks who live on the third rail, but rarely take the subway (ifyousniffwhatwesizzle). Watch 5 noteworthy rap videos about cocaine queens, along with N.E.R.D.’s new clip, below.
Rapper 'PitBull' walks you through some of the highlights in the clip above from a new documentary hitting theatres that looks like kilos of fun to watch. It’s called ‘Cocaine Cowboys’ and offers a snap shot of some of the real kingpins and ballers that made a living shoveling tons of Ya-Yo down in Miami during the heyday in the 1980's. It's basically what inspired cult classic ‘Scarface.’ Don't get us wrong, we don't encourage massive international drug dealing cartels here at Complex, but there is something intriguing about having mountain lions as pets and burying money in garbage bags in your backyard cause drug profits are piling up too high. Check the official website for local listings and hope it’s coming to you a theatre near you.
