Another Lame Celeb Excuse

Filed under: Drugs > Australiastic > Busted!

Back in April, one of the judges of Australia's Dancing with the Stars , Todd Andrew McKenny, was found unconscious in a Sydney park and charged with drug possession.

It wasn't coke or pot.

He had the 'date rape' drug on him, GHB.

According to new reports, he's going to claim in court that the drugs weren't his.

We've heard that one before!

The drugs were allegedly planted in his pants without his knowledge, or so he claims.

Apparently, he had been partying at an apartment near the park and had danced so much that he began to overheat. To continue dancing he had to take his pants off…and that's when the drugs were probably planted!

Uh huh.

"Celebs" come up with the darndest things!

Liar liar, GHB-filled pants on fire.

      I don't know what's creepier, the fact that he had the date rape drug in his pocket or the fact that he had to take his pants off when dancing because he was "too hot"…the only person who takes their pants off in the middle of a random place is Britney Spears when she's going crazy and whips them off at a club!

      Ok, this happened all the way back in April…this guy is ugly….he's not famous here at all…he's barely what we would even consider a celebrity in Australia….this is a waste of space!! Besides, if I looked like him, I would have to roofie myself just to have a wank. Why don't you tell us what ever happened to Richard Quest?

      Oh Perez how sweet of you to say that Todd is a "celebrity". Must be a slow gosssip day if you are running a story on him. . He was also pulled over recently for driving a night with no lights. His brekfast radio show i hear isnt doing that well either.

      I'm more curious to know why he was unconscious in a park than him having GHB in his pants. But what kind of party would have people dancing around in their drawz.

    18. joan says – reply to this


      18

      drug addicts/users don't go randomly planting drugs on people, they like to keep them for themselves. drugs cost money. that's like someone planting money on someone = dumbest lie ever.

    19. E says – reply to this


      19

      Actually it probably wasn't his. GHB is $2 a charge (he had 20 charges/millilitres). Why would someone with as much money as him waste it on a shitty, dangerous drug like GHB? Everyone knows Aussie TV stars are coke heads. The only people who do GHB are ravers and bums. It's more likely that someone planted it on him to ruin his career. There're a lot of people with vendettas in the Aussie TV industry. Also, if his drink had been spiked with G then he probably would take his pants off - that shit makes people go nuts. It's drain cleaner for fuck's sake…

      Todd McKenny Ho Hum, What a shame. The park he was found in is a well know
      Gay Park. He's lying! lying! But he has to (lie) doesn't here. He is kind of like, Oh I'm
      The Simon Cowell of Dancing with the stars, but no not really that close. He's a good dancer himself. I reckon he's going to fade form our screens now as nobody could possibly believe this ridiculous story. May be Shapelle Corby might!

      Sounds like another talented performer wasting himself on the partying, alcohol, drug merry-go-round. Todd McKennEy, (more spelling mistakes), has been performing in live musical theatre in Australia since the 80s. I have seen him perform and he is very talented. Regarding his guilt on the drug charge, that's for the court to decide, not some gossip columnist on the other side of the world. As for taking his pants off at a party, I bet there are plenty of parties where that happens for a multitude of reasons, wouldn't you agree, Perez?

      Yes and he also happen to find himself in a well known Cruising Park for Gay men.

      The gays do like a little GHB while hitting their head against a wall and its even more exciting late at night in a park

      GHB is a HUGE party drug. It's not just the date rape drug.

      oh mario i am embarrassed for you that you need to fill your site with stuff as old this and not of any interest to anyone over here in aus.. He's not Famous and most people think he is a tosser anyway.. refer to number 19 for my other thoughts on the matter.
      also, this is the first time i've been on for a while, got sick of you, I'm hoping you'll make up for it as i move down the page. but otherwise will have to fxxx you off again. the superfish is like sooooooo much funnier than you could ever be

      35

      he actually had ghb in his system as well as have it in his pocket. obviously someone was trying to set him up because he is fairly well known in Australia. whyy would anyone take a date rape drug on their own?? it is not really meant to give u a high it is meant to eventually knock u out. clearly someone has spiked his drink to humiliate him.



    36. 36

      Re: johan – GHB doesnt knock you out unless you use it with alcohol.. used on its own or with a managable & tiny amount of alcohol it makes for lots o fun!

      JUST SO YOU KNOW, THAT CLEVER LITTLE LINE WAS NOT WRITTEN BY PEREZ HILTON. HE STEALS HIS GOSSIP STORIES FROM OTHER GOSSIP SITES. YOU CAN GOOGLE THAT LINE, AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. NOT ONLY DOES PEREZ FAIL TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE SITES HE STEALS HIS STORIES FROM, BUT HE EVEN HAS THE NERVE TO PASS OFF THE COMMENTS AT THE END OF THE STORIES AS THOUGH THEY ARE HIS OWN COMMENTS. PEREZ = LAME THIEF.

      What is more interesting is that GHB is a widely used drug of choice in the gay community and that McKenny was arrested at a "beat", a perhaps not so discreet hook up/sex venue for homosexual men!!!

      I have to stick up for Perez here when people are accusing him of ripping off stories —- (and believe me I know the guy has his flaws so it's not like I drank his kool-aid) BUT —- As far as I know he is ONE person that reports the gossip and has a website that is competing with sites that have LOTS of people working for them. He never said every single thing he reports is FIRST or not posted somewhere else. He passes along gossip (besides - who knows if his readers even read the other sites so maybe they are only getting it here) Give him a break on that part of it and quit *bitching*

      GHB - gamma hydroxybutyric acid - is actually a lot of fun as a drug. It makes you feel drunk with just a small dose, and you get no hang over.

      Just don't drink booze with it, otherwise you may seizure or blackout.
