The singer-and-actress, who has two children with husband Marc Anthony, was working on movie ‘Enough’ in 2002 when she ‘froze’ and realised she had to slow down.
She told website The Daily Beast: ‘There was a time when I was very overworked and I was doing music and movies and so many things. I was suffering from a lack of sleep. And I did have a kind of nervous breakdown. I froze up in my trailer. I was like, ‘I don’t want to move. I don’t want to talk. I don’t want to do anything.’ It was on that movie ‘Enough’.
“I kept saying, ‘I’m not weak. I’m not weak.’ It’s funny what tricks your mind plays on you. I just didn’t want people to think I was falling apart.’
Jennifer decided not to consult a therapist about the breakdown, but followed her doctor’s instructions to take a break from her hectic schedule.
She added: ‘My bodyguard picked me up and put me in the car and they took me to a doctor. Right away they want to give you pills. But I have never liked the idea of pills and kept saying no. My doctor said. ‘You’re sleep deprived. You’re overworked. Go home and go to bed.’ He told me to go back to work on Monday after a weekend of sleeping. So that’s what I did. I’ve still never been to a shrink. I’m not a shrinky person.” (from: www.music-news.com)
George Michael Arrested…(For Drug Possession, again)

British singer George Michael was arrested on drug-possession charges Friday in a public bathroom near his home in North London, according to The Daily Telegraph.
The newspaper reported that police officers — responding to a tip from a lavatory attendant — caught Michael, 45, using a “small amount” of crack cocaine and marijuana in a public restroom. He was taken to a North London police station where he received a cautionary warning and was released after he accepted responsibility for carrying the drugs.
“The caution was [issued] for the possession of Class A and Class C drugs, cocaine and cannabis,” a spokesperson for Scotland Yard told the Telegraph. “He was released and no further action will be taken.”
The arrest was just the latest in a string of drug (and public restroom)-related incidents involving the singer. In 1998, he was famously arrested outside the men’s room at the Will Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills, California, and charged with “engaging in a lewd act.” He pleaded no contest to the charge, and performed 80 hours of community service. In February 2006, he was arrested in London and charged with possession of Class C drugs, after police found him slumped over in a car. In May of that same year, he was again found passed out in a vehicle, and when he was awoken by a member of the public, he drove off, hitting a traffic divider. In October of 2006, he was found unconscious in his Mercedes-Benz, taken to the hospital and then charged with possession of marijuana. The following May, he pled guilty to driving while unfit through drugs, and was banned from driving for two years.
Michael admitted last year that he was addicted to prescription drugs, blaming his behavior on a “self-destructive” impulse brought on by the death of his mother a decade ago.
Attempts to reach Michael’s label, Epic, for comment were unsuccessful at press time.
