In an interview with Arena Magazine, Selma Blair let herself kind of go off on a tangent that probably had her publicist popping TUMS like Skittles. Selma was discussing how the director of Hellboy II thought that perhaps Selma was a trifle insecure and doubted her own abilities. He suggested that she take some acid and that it would fix her right up. Good to know that Guillermo del Toro thinks that. Parties at his house must be a blast. Note to self. Limit yourself to one sugar cube at Guillermo's house.
Anyway, Selma thought it was a fantastic idea. Oh, she didn't actually go through it, but is more than willing to in the future.
"You know what Guillermo thinks? That I should go to Amsterdam and take an acid trip and it would fix my head. I think he could be right, you know.
If I was in the right frame of mind, in a pleasant, creative, chilled-out space, with just the right amount delivered by an Amsterdam technician that would be incredible."
She makes it sound so damn clinical. Like some guy in Amsterdam is going to get an entire medical background check, check her blood, weigh her, ask her questions about the type of experience she is looking for and whether she wants any long term side effects. Come on. It's acid. You take it, and then you just go with the flow. It isn't Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. It's acid. I'm torn in this interview between slamming her for encouraging the use of a drug which can have permanent effects on you or commending her for her honesty that she would in fact use a permanently mind altering drug. While always wanting everyone to be honest and not sugarcoat everything, I do have a problem with people who idolize her thinking that they have always wanted to try acid, and if it is good enough for Selma then it is good enough for them.
See, all of you are intelligent and are capable of making your own decisions without any input from celebrities. Unfortunately there is a large segment of the population that does exactly what celebrities tell them to do. I know it is hard to believe, but it's true. So, some girl who idolizes Selma Blair and has watched Cruel Intentions 32 times is going to think this is a marvelous idea. Unfortunately the $20 she stole from her mom's purse isn't going to be enough to get her a flight to Amsterdam and a technician who monitors her various vital signs while she partakes of the drug. Instead she is going to do it a party with a bunch of other people and will hopefully come through it all unscathed.
Selma I think understands this predicament which is why she added the whole bit about the technician. She let loose a quote and said, "f**k." She realized what the hell she said and so then tried to lessen the damage.
I think we also have to wonder how that whole rehab thing went with her last year in Promises if she is still talking about dropping acid. Does it not count if it is administered by a technician or if it is legal in the country where you partake. I would have thought she would have answered the question by saying she is sober. Guess this story is more fun.
