elsewhere: live hard, die young, leave a beautiful corpse, then rehab live on saturday night!

The alternative title was going to be: They tried to make them go to rehab, they said, No no ...OK, but only if there are cameras.

Media Relations: live hard, die young and leave a beautiful corpse, then rehab!/ September 4, 2007:

Apparently, the good (and also the bad) really do die young(ish). [...] Mind, it does seem to be a case of both a small sample biasing the data, and having enough people clumped at the very young end to seriously depress the average age. Granted, 10 percent of a sample is a notably higher mortality rate than the general population in a given age group. And I think the accident issue may confuse things a bit; how many of the accidents are directly attributable to the rock-n-rollness of it all? [...] given that the mortality rate of younger popsters is dropping, apparently the whole Just Say No thing is sorta kinda taking hold -- Lindsay Lohan aside. Apparently, younger popsters are indulging at ever lower rates.

And for those who don't say no, there's always Celebrity Rehab! I can't even begin to enumerate all the ways in which this is a relentlessly bad idea....
