Jamie Lee Curtis calls herself a ‘controlled addict'
Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis has admitted that she is a "controlled addict". The 66-year-old actress is a recovering alcoholic. But Jamie insists that she's always retained some degree of control over her life, even when she was at her lowest ebb, reports 'Female First UK'. The Hollywood star told 'The Guardian' newspaper, "I am a controlled addict. "In recovery we talk about how, in order to start recovering, you have to hit what you call a 'bottom'. You have to crash and burn, lose yourself and your family and your job and your resources in order to know that the way you were living didn't work. I refer to myself as an Everest bottom; I am the highest bottom I know'. She further mentioned, "When I acknowledged my lack of control, I was in a very controlled state. I lost none of the external aspects of my life. The only thing I had lost was my own sense of myself and self-esteem'. Asked whether her success disguised the seriousness of her addiction troubles, Jamie replied, "There's no one way to be an addict or an alcoholic. People hide things, I was lucky, and I am ambitious, and so I never let that self-medication get in the way of my ambition or work or creativity. It never bled through. No one would ever have said that had been an issue for me'. As per 'Female First UK', Jamie said that her addiction caused a lot of damage to herself and the people around her. However, the actress insisted that she's moved on from that period of her life, describing herself as "an old lady now". She said: "The external costs are awful for people; but the internal costs are more sinister and deadly, because to understand that you are powerless over something other than your own mind and creativity is something. But that was a long time ago. I'm an old lady now'. In February, Jamie took to social media to celebrate 26 years of sobriety. Indo-Asian News Service

Taylor Swift ignores ex-boyfriend Matt Healy
Pop icon Taylor Swift plans on taking the high road after her ex-boyfriend Matt Healy's mother Denise Welch took a jibe at her. The 35-year-old singer and the 36-year-old 1975 frontman briefly dated following her split from actor Joe Alwyn, in April 2023 and Taylor went on to reference their relationship in her album 'The Tortured Poets Department', reports 'Female First UK'. During a recent appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live', Matt's mother Denise insisted it was unfair that Matt couldn't talk about the relationship. She said, "Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad I lost. Not that I have anything against (Taylor) at all. It was just, it was tricky. "Listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she (Taylor). writes a whole album about it'. As per 'Female First UK', however, Taylor, who has been happily dating NFL star Travis Kelce for the past few years, plans to ignore Denise's jibes. A source told "It's a bit obnoxious in Taylor's eyes, but she has to take the high road. If there was anything that would be in a future song of Taylor's, if she were ever to respond, she would respond that way. But as of right now, she might just let it slide. She is not going to let Denise ruin her day'. "Taylor respected Denise and will continue to do so, as this will go away very quickly. But if Denise continues to talk about it and bash Taylor, then Taylor would say something. The ball is still in Denise's court to see if she wants to continue the narrative she brought upon herself.', the source added. Indo-Asian News Service
