Say it ain’t so, Papa John! Mackenzie Phillips grew up as the very kind of child star you read about in the headlines. The daughter of John Phillips of The Mamas & The Papas, she was known in her own right as star of “One Day at a Time.” But a long history of drug abuse followed, which Phillips recounts in her new book “High on Arrival,” out today. Also today, Phillips will be on Oprah’s couch today talking about that and the revelation that her father had a long-term sexual relationship with her. Gah! source
“News of the World” is probably full of it, but might as well check. Indian police are investigating claims by the British rag that Rafiq Qureshi, father of “Slumdog Millionaire” child star Rubina Ali, tried selling his child for a big payday, a claim he understandably denies. We wish we could just ignore their claims out of hand, but they were right about the Michael Phelps thing. source
