Hey! We can dream, can't we??!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt revisited his early days as an actor yesterday when he met up with former 3rd Rock From the Sun co-star, Kristen Johnston, to stroll along to streets of LA .

Seeing as the show has been off the air for MORE than a decade, we're sure they had PLENTY of catching up to do!

After the day date, Joseph tweeted:

This is just unbelievable. We would have never guessed; she hid it well.

Kristen Johnston, best know for her work on 3rd Rock From The Sun, has a new memoir coming out next week that is sure to shock anyone who ever thought they knew her. In the pages of her book, Guts: The Endless Follies and Tiny Triumphs of a Giant Disaster, she reveals her secret addiction to not only alcohol, but also pain medication.

And her cocktails of choice almost killed her!

According to Kristen, she never had an issue deciding between a bottle red or a bottle of white; she used to just drink them both, usually in one day, to wash down the slew of Vicodin she'd be taking. But her addictions never actually killed any of her pain, as she explains in a new interview with People Magazine:

"I hated myself, but I didnt think I could change. I'm appreciateive that I'm still alive."

As are we! We're glad you figured out how badly you were hurting yourself before it was too late!

Life is such a precious thing and it's so not worth wasting it this way. Glad to have you back in fighting form, Kristen!

Kristen Johnston from 3rd Rock had to admit to drug and alcohol problems in 2006 when she had an ulcer burst. Because of it, she had to enter herself in rehab.

It might have been the best thing to happen to her, because it made her face her problems.

There is one part of this story that is really baffling to us. Let's see if you can guess what it is!

Over the weekend, Nadya "Octo-Mom" Suleman and her brood of 2-year-olds flew from New York City to Los Angeles. For those of you who don't know, that's a 6+ hours flight, which would drive a parent with one child absolutely insane, let alone eight.

So there Nadya is, with eight kids in business class, all of them screaming their heads off. The flight has ben delayed two hours and this woman just can NOT quiet her children. The wails and screams of her children started to disrupt the other passengers, including 3rd Rock from the Sun star Kristen Johnston. After enduring the children for an hour or so, she marched over to the Octo-mom and demanded she keep her kids in check.

Nadya's rep, who was contacted after the plane arrived in El Lay, explains that Nadya fired back, "How would you like me to keep eight 2-year-olds quiet?" To which Kristen allegedly responded, "Get more help!"

A small verbal quarrel continued from there, but not for long. Soon, Kristen was collecting her stuff and booking if for the exit. She left the plane and never returned. When Nadya was asked about the incident in LAX, not only was she unaware that Kristen was a celebrity, but she added, "I guess there's some people that don't like kids."

Or, they don't like paying thousands of extra dollars to sit in business class only to be surrounded by screaming kids. Which reminds us - HOW DID YOU AFFORD THAT, NADYA?

Nine seats in business class? Isn't your house in foreclosure or something? Where's this money coming from???
