MacKenzie Phillips of One Day At A Time pleaded guilty to heroin and coke possession Friday, after being busted in LA Airport August 27th carrying cocaine, heroin, and drug paraphrenalia. Well, there's your answer to that "Whatever happened to..." question. To be fair, speedballs are a quicker weight-loss alternative to Valerie Bertinelli's Jenny Craig program.
As part of her plea deal, prosecutors dropped heroin and syringe possession charges, but Phillips has to complete an 18-month stint in rehab -- her tenth time in a drug rehabilitation facility. And none of those were Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. Let's all hope this one takes, for her health and well-being, and also because you can only make One Day At A Time jokes so many times.
