MacKenzie Phillips arrested on drug charges
MacKenzie Phillips — she who brought forth a trend in naming babies that has yet to abate — was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday, Aug. 27, for alleged drug possession.
“She was being screened by airport security when a small amount of what appeared to be heroin and cocaine were found on her person,” Sgt. Jim Holcomb said. “She was arrested at about 10 a.m. and is still in custody.”
Phillips, 48, is no stranger to drugs. She was fired from the sitcom “One Day at a Time” because of her drug addiction. One day at a time, indeed. You know her father is the late John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, right? And, according to Wikipedia, her first name is Laura — a baby-naming trend that never really caught on. For good reason.

What’s left to say? This has gone on since I was a young girl and I’m now 46 years old. She is blessed to still be alive. Best of luck to her.
