Being bipolar is actually brutally common in the world, yet it carries with it a stigma that people just can't shake. Just because it's common, though, doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. We're glad Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't riding it out… and has taken it upon herself to be very proactive with her diagnosis!

We're happy to hear that she has returned home after another round of treatment for the mental affliction!

Former hockey player Derek Boogaard died in 2011 from an accidental overdose of painkillers and alcohol, and now his family is filing a wrongful death lawsuit againt the NHL.

An autopsy revealed that the late New York Ranger suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his death, which is caused by taking multiple blows to the head and suffering from concussions throughout his career.

The family's attorney William Gibbs claims the trauma caused Derek to become addicted to his pain medication, saying:

Now that's our kind of confession! Demi Lovato isn't ashamed of her struggle with mental health issues- she's a survivor!

We were told to expect some crazy evidence to surface once Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial began, but there's no way we could have prepared ourselves for this!

Emails and court documents have recently been released showing that the late King of Pop was planning on lip synching during his final shows for his This Is It tour!

Apparently he was in such bad shape at the time he was unable to sing and dance at the same time and needed the the help of a vocal track just to get through his performances!

Michael’s family claims this is proof that AEG was perfectly aware of his poor health and mental state, yet they continued to push him through the tour.

Other emails between AEG promoter Randy Phillips and AEG president Tim Leiweke show the two complaining about his horrible condition and how it was affecting rehearsals.

In one message, Randy talks about having to help a dazed Michael get dressed, saying:

LiLo's recent Morningside Recovery drive-by could prove to be very costly, and we aren't just talking about all the money she wasted on gas to Newport Beach!!

Prosecutors are giving the actress until the butt-crack of dawn to get her behind checked into rehab or else they'll seek to issue another warrant for her arrest!!

The Mean Girls starlet rolled up to the unlicensed treatment center earlier today, but wound up checking into a Fry's Electronics instead!!

The courts, meanwhile, are absolutely fed up with Lindsay's shenanigans and they've drawn a line in the sand!!

The zero hour is quickly approaching, but LiLo is pulling the old switcheroo!

Unhappy with both New York and SoCal as locations for her court-ordered rehabilitation, our luscious law-breaking diva is desperately trying to delay her treatment and/or move the location to a tropical Floridian paradise!!

Lindsay Lohan even enlisted the help of her younger bro, Michael Jr.!

He called the El Lay attorney's office BEGGING them to let the Mean Girls star spend 90 days at Lukens, a luxurious treatment center in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

One source close to the situation revealed:
