Mackenzie Phillips

At 10:00 AM, officers responded to Terminal 4, where 48-year-old Phillips was being screened by TSA. During the screening process, some baggies and balloons believed to contain heroin and cocaine were recovered.

The former “One Day at a Time” star has had a long history of drug abuse.

actress mckenzie phillips has been arrested on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance after being stopped at Los Angeles International Airport.

Airport police confirmed that Phillips, 48, was held in custody at LAX after security screeners allegedly discovered “what appeared to be heroin and cocaine” in her possession.

She was booked into jail in Van Nuys on a felony drug possession charge, with bail set at $10,000, according to an airport police spokesman. Phillips’ agent had no comment on the incident.

Phillips, who gained fame on the 1970s sitcom “One Day at a Time,” was reportedly later fired from the show for drug abuse. She has publicly spoken about her battle with drugs and her sobriety.

I know that a great many of you may not even remember mckenzie phillips from her hey day in the early 80’s but I do and know that she has since dealt with major drug issues over the years which, it would seem, she is still struggling with today. Hopefully this arrest will finally help Mackenzie come to grips with her demons. Sad, sad news.

The actress, 48, has been known to have problems with substance abuse. She has spoken publicly about her struggles during her time on the television comedy series,One Day at a Time. She left that production twice, due to drug addiction. Her claim to fame was her famous role inAmerican Graffiti, over 30 years ago. It was at least 10 years ago that her drug problems were public, according to the L.A. Times.

The most recent and famous appearances occurred on the 1990s TV hit, Beverly Hills, 90210, where she played a counselor, but she has worked regularly since then, theL.A. Times said.

Another interesting fact, in case you didn’t know, Phillips is the daughter of the late John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, reported the L.A. Times.

Airport police were called to the scene and arrested Phillips on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance.

“She is being booked at Pacific Division and then transferred to Van Nuys,” adds Holcomb. Bail was set at $10,000.

Phillips, who played sister to Valerie Bertinelli on the long-running CBS show, is well acquainted with the booking process.

During One Day at a Time’s 1979-80 season, she was collared for cocaine possession.

After turning up late for rehearsals on multiple occasions, producers gave her a six-week leave of absence. But her behavior continued to worsen until producers gave up and fired her.

Following a stint in rehab, Phillips rejoined the show, only to quit two years later when her drug problems persisted.

The daughter of Mamas & the Papas founder John Phillips (whom she blames for her drug habit) and socialite Suzy Adams, Phillips is the product of a showbiz family. Her stepmother is singer-actressMichelle Phillips and half-sisters include Bijou Phillips and Chynna Phillips.

Mackenzie Phillips, who performed as part of the revived Mamas & the Papas until her father’s death in 2001, got her start in the industry at the age of 13 in the 1973 TV movie Go Ask Alice, about a 14-year-old girl pulled into a world of sex and drugs. Other credits include roles in American Graffiti, Baretta, ER,NYPD Blue and, most recently, CBS’ Cold Case .

MEAT LOAF RECIPE:

“I like to call meat loaf ‘man loaf’ because it’s every man’s favorite dish,” Katie says. “My husband loves when I make meat loaf, and it makes the best leftovers. We love it the next day on white bread with mayonnaise.”

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 medium red pepper, finely diced (about 1 cup)
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray lightly with oil.

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions, garlic and bay leaf until the onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and cook until the red pepper is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley and thyme and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and let the onion mixture cool. Discard the bay leaf.

In a large bowl, combine the beef, eggs, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of ketchup, the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and the cooled vegetables. Use your hands to mix everything together.

Transfer the mixture to the center of the baking sheet and form into a loaf. Coat the meat loaf with the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup.

Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours (depending on the shape of your loaf), until the meat loaf is firm. Let set for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Audrina Patridge took her clothes off in an effort to become a model before she appeared on MTV’s The Hills with Lauren Conrad. Splash News said:

Sources say the beauty from a wealthy Orange County family was a natural in front of the camera and loved every second of the shoot at an LA mansion. They told how she was thrilled with the results and particularly the raunchy schoolgirl pics.

But now the pictures she urged a photographer friend to take when she was 19 could come back to haunt her. A source told how Audrina had had enough of posing for bikini shots and decided she wanted to be a glamour model.

“She was determined to go ahead with it, even though she was warned to wait and see how her modelling went before doing t*pless stuff. She was always comfortable in front of the camera and wasn’t shy or nervous about doing a n*de shoot.”

But Audrina’s hopes of impressing glamour magazine editors were shattered when Playboy showed no interest in her pictures.

The insider said: “Looking at the pictures you’d say they were crazy to turn her down. She looks absolutely sensational.”

Audrina looks great. Hugh Hefner should give her another chance. She doesn’t even need photoshop work, like many of the female celebrities he tries to get for his magazine.

Audrina said, through her rep., in response to the pictures of her without clothes on being posted on the Internet:

“I took these photos years ago when I was just out of high school and beginning to model. I was young and very trusting of others and I didn’t know to protect myself. It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me.”

The 22-year-old Los Angeles, CA native posed nude when she was 19-years-old in an attempt to appear in Playboy — and while the photos never made it into the magazine, they recently surfaced on the celebrity blog What Would Tyler Durden Do.

“I took these photos years ago when I was just out of high school and beginning to model. I was young and very trusting of others and I didn’t know to protect myself,” said Patridge in a statement released by her representative and obtained by TMZ.com. “It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me.”

The images include Patridge appearing topless while wearing a school-girl skirt and knee-high socks; standing in a hot tub wearing nothing but a cowboy hat; and being completely naked while in a swimming pool.

Sources at Splash News told What Would Tyler Durden Do that Patridge “had had enough of posing for bikini shots.”

“She was determined to go ahead with it, even though she was warned to wait and see how her modeling went before doing topless stuff,” the Splash News source told the celebrity blog. “She was always comfortable in front of the camera and wasn’t shy or nervous about doing a nude shoot.”

Despite her comfort level, the pics never made it to Playboy.

“Looking at the pictures you’d say they were crazy to turn her down,” the source told What Would Tyler Durden Do. “She looks absolutely sensational.”

Since she became a regular The Hills cast member upon meeting Conrad in L.A. during the MTV show’s first season, Patridge has appeared scantily clad in Maxim.

MTV’s hit show, “The Hills,” has been causing a lot of commotion in the tabloid industry over the last year. First was the feud between Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag, then reports of Conrad’s sex tape, and now online pictures have surfaced showing Audrina Patridge, both topless and fully nude. Patridge says the photos were taken right after high school when she was aspiring to be a Playboy Bunny model and she “deeply regrets” them now.

More and more young girls are turning to nudity as a form of getting exposure. Vanessa Hudgens, the star of High School Musical, was recently caught up in a similar scandal as well. Teens idolize these girls and when they see them turning to nudity, they think it might be a solution for them as well. If you are a teen and thinking about baring all for the camera, think twice:

1. Think about your future: Patridge thought that nudity was the only way to fame because she wasn’t getting much attention based off of a more subtle approach of bikini shoots. At that time she didn’t know that she would become a huge and well known star on “The Hills.” One of the best things to do before letting someone snap provocative shots of you is to think about how you would feel looking back 5, 10, even 20 years later. You might want to think about the fact that if you do make it big or for some reason end up in the middle of a political arena or a controversy, these photos can work against you and make people think less of you as a person.

2. Think about your family: It is easy to think that just because it is your body, you can do whatever you want with it, but make sure to think about all the people these pictures will affect. With the speed and distance the Internet covers, you can not be sure that these pictures will stay contained. How do you think your dad or brothers will feel about seeing naked pictures of you? Do you think your grandparents will be proud? And mostly, imagine in 25 years when you have children of your own and they ask about these photos or your own daughter wants to pose nude and you don’t think it is appropriate. Teens tend not to listen to their parents in the first place, let alone when the parent is being hypocritical.

3. Try to find another way to be successful in the industry: Patridge tried bikini modeling as her entrance before posing nude. Try exploring as many different facets of the business before getting naked. Go see clothing designers that are up and coming and need models, perform go-sees for already well known designers, star in a community play, send your photo to magazines like Teen Vogue, YM, and Seventeen.

4. Focus more on developing skill rather than time on image: Patridge’s overall goal was to become an actress and she thought her looks would take her there. She was so focused on that being her in that she put all her energy into modeling. Perhaps if she would have spent more time on acting classes and researching the business, she would have been noticed without nudity.

5. If you do decide on nude photos, make sure they are classy and timeless: If none of these tips seem to be of consequence to you and you think the right way to go is by taking nude photos, make sure they are ones that you will be proud of. Timeless classic looks like Marilyn Monroe’s last photo shoot or even subtle nudity like Janet Jackson’s album cover can go a long way. Research different photographers and find one that takes pictures in the style that you like rather than them posing you the way that they want to shoot you. Yes, they put their name on the photo, but it’s your face and body the world sees in the end.
