Chloe Heald was secretly filmed taking the drug before reportedly charging a customer £450 for a two-hour sex session — days before her weekend TV appearance.
The revelations again call in to question the judgement of producers,who were last week accused of glamorising prostitution when they refused to axe Miss Heald, 19.

Aaron Sorkin: 'Hardest thing I do every day is not take cocaine' - USATODAY.com: "Aaron Sorkin not only talks about writing his new Facebook movie, The Social Network, in the new W magazine. He also opens up about his crack addiction in the mid-90s:
'I had what they call a 'high bottom.' My life didn't fall apart before I got into rehab. I didn't lose my job or run over a kid or injure anyone when I was high. But the hardest thing I do every day is not take cocaine. You don't get cured of addiction--you're just in remission.'"

Lindsay Lohan could face only 1 day in jail for cocaine -- again - Canada Canada Celebrity Headlines | Examiner.com: "Lindsay Lohan, caught with cocaine in her system earlier this month, could be facing only 1 day in jail despite earlier convictions.
TMZ reports that that the Herbie: Fully Loaded actress will not be charged for the amphetamines found in her system via mandatory drug testing -- due to an improperly prepared court report that the Probation Office considers to be 'too vague.'
The court will still consider a sentence against the 24-year old performer for cocaine discovered during the testing -- though overcrowding is expected to play a huge factor in giving the actress another early release."

Alarming Statistics on Cocaine Use | Vistabay

Alarming Statistics on Cocaine Use | Vistabay: "following statistics on Cocaine show just how dangerous and prevalent the drug is in our society.
1 of 4 surveyed Americans of the age range 26-34 has already taken drugs.
Minnesota Institute for Public Health and drug prevention resource center informs that 5,000 grown-ups in America take cocaine for the first time daily. (1985)
The statistics shows that 22-25 million people have already taken cocaine at least one time. Different interrogation data tell that there are more than two million cocaine-takers in America nowadays.
Cocaine is the reason of over the half of visits for emergency rooms where drug taking is concerned.
Every year the number of cocaine addicts has been gradually growing for the recent time. For 1975 this number was 30,000. In 1986 it has grown to 300,000 and to 361,000 in 2000.
The per cent of drug-users among the students over the recent 5 years has increased from 2% in 1994 to 4,8% in 2000.
8,2% of high school pupils surveyed in 2001 told they have already taken cocaine.
In the period between 1997 to 2000 the deals relating with cocaine were the most popular in emergency rooms.
Men take cocaine twice as much as women take it. Special informal agencies for the office of National Drug Control Policy tell that the amount of constant cocaine addicts is over 3,6 million people.
Juveniles from 18 to 25 is the group with which the using of cocaine is the most popular.
The amount of people, who have taken marijuana before using cocaine is 90%.
About 300,000 babies were born in 1988 spoiled with cocaine."

Possible Cocaine Addiction Trigger Uncovered: Protein Linked to Mental Retardation May Be Controlling Factor in Drug’s Effect in the Brain | Science Magazine News

Possible Cocaine Addiction Trigger Uncovered: Protein Linked to Mental Retardation May Be Controlling Factor in Drug’s Effect in the Brain | Science Magazine News: "new study, the scientists first looked at the expression of MeCP2 in the brain after exposure to cocaine. They found that expression was increased in those animals given extended access to the drug.
'At that point,' Kenny said, 'we wanted to know if this increase was behaviorally significant -- did it influence the motivation to take the drug?'
Using a virus to disrupt expression of MeCP2, the scientists found that rats consumed less and less cocaine. Intriguingly, levels of miR-212 were also far higher in those animals. Because increases in miR-212 suppress attraction to cocaine, the disruption of MeCP2, in essence, put miR-212 in charge and reduced vulnerability to the drug.
'We concluded that MeCP2 may play an important role in addiction by regulating the magnitude by which miR-212 expression is increased in response to cocaine,' said Kenny. 'In other words, MeCP2 seems to control just how much you can protect yourself against the addictive properties of cocaine.'
Intriguingly, that was not the end of the story. In addition to MeCP2 blunting miR-212 expression, the scientists also found that the opposite was also true -- that miR-212 could in turn decrease levels of MeCP2. This suggests that both are locked together in a regulatory loop. Importantly, the two had opposite effects on the expression of a particular growth factor in the brain -- called BDNF -- that regulates just how rewarding cocaine is.
While the new study fills in an important piece of the puzzle, the Kenny lab is hard at work to further increase our understanding of addiction."

KI Media: Cambodia opens first methadone clinic for heroin users

KI Media: Cambodia opens first methadone clinic for heroin users: "Cambodia has launched the country's first methadone-treatment programme, in a new approach to help heroin users.

The World Health Organization (WHO) told the BBC that addiction was widely viewed in Cambodia as a social problem, rather than a health issue.

Until now the government has favoured treatment centres which emphasise hard work and exercise.

But health workers and human rights groups have criticised the facilities, describing them as 'labour camps'.

The opening of the methadone clinic is the culmination of years of gentle persuasion by organisations which work with drug users."

No evidence Buckfast ban would work, say police - Telegraph

No evidence Buckfast ban would work, say police - Telegraph: "Chief Superintendent Bob Hamilton, of Strathclyde Police's territorial policing unit, said “people would drink something else” and the price and availability of cheap alcohol was the real problem.
Holyrood’s health committee also heard there was no evidence to support Labour’s claim that selling alcohol below cost would help tackle Scotland’s binge drinking epidemic. The two proposals were the central recommendations of Labour’s alcohol commission, which tried to provide alternatives to the SNP’s policy of minimum unit pricing, a move the party opposes.
The commission was supposedly independent but Professor Sally Brown, its chair, admitted its members had been picked by Labour and there was no proof a “floor” price would work."

Ricky Hatton admits cocaine addiction and will enter rehab this week - mirror.co.uk

Ricky Hatton admits cocaine addiction and will enter rehab this week - mirror.co.uk: "Ricky Hatton will check into a rehab clinic this week after tearfully confessing to a year-long cocaine addiction.
The former boxing world champ was caught on camera snorting “industrial” amounts of cocaine during a sordid drink-and-drugs binge a fortnight ago.
Hatton admitted being hooked on the Class A drug in an emotional heart-to-heart with fiancée Jennifer Dooley yesterday.
He told her: “I’ve been an idiot and I’m so sorry and ashamed. I need and want to sort myself out.”
She was horrified to discover Hatton, 31, had seven lines of cocaine during a night out in Manchester.
The bloated ex-boxer then admitted he had been taking the drug for almost a year – beginning shortly after his last fight, when he was knocked out in two rounds by Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.
Hatton was caught on film taking out a wrap of cocaine hidden in his shoe before chopping up lines with a credit card in a hotel room."

AFP: Boxer Hatton to seek help after cocaine revelations

AFP: Boxer Hatton to seek help after cocaine revelations: "Former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton is to seek help after a newspaper published photos and video footage of the boxer allegedly snorting cocaine.
The News of the World secretly filmed Hatton, who has not fought since being knocked out in the second round of his May 2009 showdown with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas, supposedly using 'industrial quantities' of the drug during a marathon 10-hour drinking session.
Hatton's spokesman Max Clifford told talkSPORT on Monday: 'The thing is now to sort out the problem, to get him to have treatment and hopefully win this battle.
'I think he'll be going today (Monday to get professional help) to talk to the people he needs to talk to. To talk to the people who are experts in these circumstances.
'I think the intention is that he's going to be looked after and hopefully will listen and find out what they tell him and what treatment they give him.
'He needs expert advice and help, as anyone in these circumstances does and, from the conversation I had with him yesterday, that will start today.
'I've spoken to his dad and Paul Speak (his agent) and they all speak with one voice, he needs help and we're all going to make sure that he gets the best help possible as quickly as possible.'"

British Troops' Afghan Heroin Smuggling Under Spotlight

British Troops' Afghan Heroin Smuggling Under Spotlight: "British troops' role in the smuggling of heroin from southern Afghanistan could no longer be kept under wraps. The British Defense Ministry on Sept. 12 confirmed there were allegations that soldiers were using military planes to smuggle drugs out of Afghanistan, but called them 'unsubstantiated.' However, they said they said they are investigating and taking precautions.
British troops moved into the southern province of Helmand in 2005 at the time the opium explosion in that province began. It was during the British troops' presence in the province that the Taliban took overall control there. Under the watchful eyes of some 9,000 British troops, opium production in Helmand rose from 1,500 tons to 4,200 tons.
Last year, Britain's Sunday Times reported one drug dealer telling the newspaper that members of the military were the second largest buyers of heroin after foreign drug lords. The newspaper was told: 'The soldiers whose term of duty is about to finish, they give an order to our boss. They are carrying these drugs in the military airlines and they can't be reached because they are military. They can take it to the U.S.A. or England.' A team of detectives from Britain's Ministry of Defence's special investigations branch is believed to be heading the investigation into the claims.
Throughout this period when the British troops were smuggling drugs, London kept attacking Afghan President Hamid Karzai's brother as the main drug lord in the area, with the aim to create an anti-Karzai lobby among policymakers and legislators in Washington."

DND: Heroin claims unfounded - Brantford Expositor - Ontario, CA

DND: Heroin claims unfounded - Brantford Expositor - Ontario, CA: "Neither British nor Canadian troops are under investigation for having allegedly smuggled heroin out of Afghanistan, despite 'unfounded' media reports suggesting they are, according to a senior Canadian defence department official.
In fact, there aren't even substantiated allegations that such a heroin smuggling ring even exists, the official said.
The Sunday Times in Britain reported over the weekend that Canadian troops at Kandahar airport and British troops in Helmand province's Camp Bastion were allegedly involved in a large heroin-smuggling operation.
The report suggested there are allegations troops were using military aircraft to smuggle large quantities of heroin out of Afghanistan.
'Media reports this past weekend suggesting that Canadian Forces personnel have been implicated in a British-led investigation into heroin smuggling by military personnel in Afghanistan are unfounded,' said Col. Tim Grubb, Canadian Forces provost marshal, in a statement released Monday. 'The Canadian Forces Military Police have confirmed with Britain's Royal Military Police that no such investigation is underway and that no such allegations have been made against either British or Canadian personnel.'"

Heroin - It's cheap. it's deadly, and teens think it's no big deal - News & Views - Cover Story - Gambit - New Orleans


Heroin - It's cheap. it's deadly, and teens think it's no big deal - News & Views - Cover Story - Gambit - New Orleans: "I've spent 11 months of the last two years in jail,' says Arun Rahman, who dropped out of one of the area's most expensive private schools two years ago, in his senior year, to try to kick a heroin addiction. It didn't work.
  Rahman, 20, talked to Gambit in late August, just four days out of a seven-month, court-ordered stay at the Narconon rehabilitation center in Baton Rouge. It cost his parents $36,000 to send the former National Merit Scholarship finalist there. Meanwhile, his older sister just graduated from Yale and is on a graduate placement in Paris. Rahman used to feel impatient — that he was missing out on many things because of his addiction. Rehab has helped him accept that he must move at his own pace, he says.
  Rahman left Benjamin Franklin High School after he was caught selling marijuana in the parking lot. 'They (school officials) said they had the right to expel him, but 'because we know he can make a new beginning, we're not going to put it on his record,'' says Rahman's mother, Zeenat Rasheed. 'It was in the middle of exams, so they let him finish his exams and said, 'Please just take him away.''
  Rahman's family did just that. He applied and was admitted to a private school, but his family did not tell the school of his drug history. His academic record earned him a scholarship, but the school had no inkling of Rahman's drug problem. His mother admits they withheld that information from the school, which has a policy of expelling students who use or deal drugs on campus.
  No doubt that school would not have admitted Rahman had it known of his drug problems."

Taliban Deface Koran to Sell Heroin - Washington Times

Taliban Deface Koran to Sell Heroin - Washington Times: "The Taliban are using pages torn from the Koran to package heroin sold on the streets by kids. ISAF forces operating in Souther Afghanistan found children with 'pockets of heroin and wads of cash' according to USA Today's Gregg Zoroya. The heroin was packaged in ripped up pages from Islam's most holy document. The story also details how the Islamic radicals are using children, aged three and up, as human shields or to plant roadside bombs, as well as peddling drugs to help fund the insurgency. Perhaps the State Department could explain to the Taliban that desecrating the Koran is un-American"

Identifying the Worst Effects Among Heroin Abusers

Identifying the Worst Effects Among Heroin Abusers: "Heroin is a highly addictive drug semi-synthetic opioid drug. This central nervous system depressant is one of the highly abused illegal drugs in United States. According to a survey by NSDUH (National Survey on Drug Use and Health) in 2008, there was an increase in Heroin abuse in teenagers from 153,000 in 2007 to 213,000 in 2008. Around 114,000 aged 12 or older used Heroin for the first time in 2008. These statistics clearly state that many people are getting addicted to this harmful drug which has numerous negative effects on the abusers.

Many harmful effects such as miscarriages, heart infections, death from overdose, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis etc., are associated with Heroin abuse. Following are the worst effects among Heroin abusers:

Ugly features in appearance
Heroin abusers will have very ugly physical appearance. They appear skinny, unkempt and less hygienic. The person's veins will be collapsed, will have keloids, pus discharge from the scars all over the body due to regular injection of the drug.

Droopy stance
Heroin addicts appear drowsy or very much relaxed. They have trouble sitting, standing or changing positions. They appear lost in their own world. They have to drag themselves to walk, as they feel some heaviness in their legs and arms."
