Mary Forsberg Weiland and her husband, Stone Temples Pilot frontman Scott Weiland, were so addicted to heroin they showed up to a Fourth of July party at the Malibu home of Leonardo DiCaprio wearing long sleeves -- just to hide the track marks.
So writes the former model -- now drug-free -- in her new memoir, "Fall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock 'n' Roll, and Mental Illness."

Lets pause for a moment to consider Mary Weiland Forsberg's intentions as the NYP didn't mention an important detail... Mary is working to become a drug and alcohol councilor. This bears much more credibility to her direction and maybe the book will spread a message of hope to those who suffer addiction.
I first wrote this work off, but learning of the above details put a different light on Mary's book.
Yeah and how much money does that pay?
OOOOOOOOO Book!
what kind of person underestimates the power of drugs? Do they actually think they could have fun and not get addicted and destroy themselves? Hope these two didn't have any children together. Its hard enough raising kids (without messing them up) as it is much less high on drugs.
Who are these people and why should I care?
Everybody has a "book"......the novelty has worn off.
There's a reason that people do opiates. Viewing drug use as some strange, alien, vampire-like curse ("Ewwww, drugs! Gross!") is a convenient way to dismiss it, to remain distant from its reality, and to ensure that users will continue to be treated like criminals.
gosh the printing industry in the US will print anything now days...that blond girl from My name is Earl and Joe Dirt has a life "story" book out, geezzz this, sadly mentaly ill, woman has a freaking book?, I have no tears for the publishing industry
I have never met a truely intelligent peron who was addicted to drugs.
You have obviously never been to any big city.
Drugs are a scourge on our society. They affect EVERYONE from the very rich, to the very smart...
They affect people at the VERY TOP down to the VERY BOTTOM of society. Homeless people and billionaires (and their kids) are addicted to the same type of crack. And RUTHLESS evil people are behind it -- like the Chinese/Mexican dude who was just found with $205 million worth of cash stashed inside his Mexico City house.
$205,000,000.00. From selling meth.
END THE WAR ON DRUGS NOW! Mexico and America need to get together and stop the madness once and for all.
I have met and worked with lots of pretty smart and very functional junkies.I bet some people you know are using and you don't have a clue.
Then you are clueless
I agree with this person, it's hard to define intel, maybe how we define intel is different than yours - in this case higher?
Have you ever met anyone that can run the 100 yard dash in under 10 seconds?
Have you ever met anyone that can write with both hands at the same time?
Have you ever met anyone that can hold their breath for 10 minutes?
Have you ever met anyone that's climbed Mt. Everest?
I guess you're in the camp that believes if they weren't there to hear it, a tree falling in the forest doesn't make a sound. Do you consider that particularly intelligent?
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. I have sinned. I have trangressed. We have taken drugs. Oh, the pain and guilt and sorrow. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea culpa. I have sinned. I have trangressed.

Most we print every two-bit juvenile personality disorder's drug habits and confessions for publicity?

I'm sorry, but how exactly are people supposed to benefit from this other than chisme? Exactly what fraction of the population fits this demographic? Is this to help all ex-model rockstar wives in a co-dependent heroin-addicted marriage? No, this book is rather embarrassing by airing out their dirty laundry so she can make an easy buck now that she isn't married to her rockstar ex. How else can she afford the luxurious lifestyle other than selling out what little integrity she has left?
Why do people do drugs? Are their lives so boring that they have to turn to drugs to have any sort of definable fun? When people drink or do drugs to have fun, that tells me that they have a very serious problem. And when people do it in order to have a life, that tells me they have no life.
Personally I agree.
Yet Americans have a culture of substance abuse- be it drugs or alcohol or nicotine or caffeine. Most americans do drugs....
Judge much in that glass house?
A great variety of animals use "drugs" to achieve a non-normal state of mind.
Certain lemurs lick the poison from a particular millipede and "trip." Many mammals eat fermented fruit. Monkeys will steal your cocktail. Some porcupines get off on ant venom. Cats love catnip.
All of these animals have "lives" and are mostly devoid of human-specific mental maladies regarding sense of self and have no "problems." Monkeys don't go for rotten fruit because they can't pay their bills. Cats don't hit the nip because their cat girlfriend is cheating on them with the Tom at the other end of the alley.
Why ppl do drugs depends on the person & I guess the drug. Some do it to become normal - as weird as that may seem. I haven't because I think I'm abnormal enough as it is - I definetly do not need to be any more crazier than I am! But why someone would write a book about it and then hawk it to the public on a campaign tour - well, it just doesn't seem wholly altruistic nor beneficial to the family. I don't understand why she can't see that. Perhaps she just wants to stay relevent?
Why don't these people work harder on becoming better singers? They have the opportunity to create music 24 hours a day and they waste it all. So lame.
seriously
Not all of it is waste. Look at the Jazz history, some heavy users were producing the best of the best.
And no, I personally don't do any drugs, OK, caffeine, but that's all.
Oh wow .... they prepared the drugs ontop of a framed Keith Richards photo !!!
That's so rock n' roll, man ..... f*kcin cool dude !!!
Going to a Leonardo C. maibu party wearing long sleeves -- i'm sure they had everyone fooled.
What ROCK STARS !!! We've never seen such debauchery before.
The book sounds like a snooze to me.
The guy's music was definately a snooze.
Whatever don't killya makes you stronger. Ask Keith, nothing can killum. He's immune from everything!
I agree with you, very light weight cooky cutter rock and roll stories - and can't believe that stuff like this gets published... even with long sleeves on those two look and quack like a herion duck......
This is Scott Weiland you're talking about here.
I guarantee you this guy has some better drug stories.
Aren't these books all the same? Oh wow, another rock star did a lot of drugs - thats a real shocking story to tell... Yawn.
Yeap.
For about 15 years now people have known Weiland is a big type addict.
No news here.
yeah.. and the kicker is that this book isn't about him - it's about the guy's gf
I'm so tired of these fake nobodies and their tales of drug use. Do they honestly think anyone cares what losers they are. I wish more of them would simply end themselves and skip the tell all books because the genre has gotten old. Self destruction does not equal entertainment.
Any more memoirs from people no one cares about?
Yes. Larry king's memoir is being released soon. "My Poop Has No Odor."
hey! I hear the chapter on doing the laundry is riveting, uplifting and weaves a intrigue web of debauchery and fabric softener ... hey we are all above average, right?
