Thank you for taking the time to write and seek the advice of the Friggin Editor.  Its been quite awhile since the BrownePages had the opportunity of responding to a celebrity email.  You are in good company with the likes of the ex-Reverend Jim Bakker and infamous pornographer and civil libertarian Larry Flynt.

Your life of late has really been the shits of late.  That's too bad, for you had (and let me stress the word "had") an unbelievable future in front of you.  If you felt you were going to receive sympathy here... you've been smokin' the wrong rope!

It never ceases to amaze me why rich bitches like you feel entitled to receive special treatment.  You must remember Ms. Ryder, you are no better than the rest of us working slobs.  The sooner you know that, the sooner you will be on the road to recovery.

By now you must realize that you are a sick woman.  Your not guilty plea (on the basis of doing research for an upcoming film), can only be described as either an extreme case of denial, or perhaps you received coaching from other celebs like Robert Blake or maybe even OJ.

With that said, I know it, the world knows it and maybe soon you will even know it... your life is over.  If you decide not to swallow the muzzle of your 9mm Walther, I suggest you check out the two links below.  Maybe they can help.

I hope I was able to be of some help.  Please write back and let us know how you are doing.
