Robbie Benson is sporting a pot belly and he is blaming weed for his portly transformation. Even though pot makes him paranoid he still smoked enough of it to nom his way through mountains of junk food. Robbie is calling 2009 the Year of the Munchies.

Remember kids, drugs are bad. Trust me, it’s all fun and good until someone eats the last Twinkie. You try inhaling a rice cake with cotton mouth, it’s just wrong. Mmmm-kay?

Mischa Barton was cruising through town in her Cadillac the other day and TMZ photogs caught her in action. Not just driving around aimlessly but smoking weed purposefully.

You’d think Ms. Barton would be a tad more discreet after getting busted in 2007 for DUI, pot, a controlled substance and no license, but not Mischa, there she was blazing away in broad daylight. Not an ounce of paranoia on her part, Mischa is definitely not a window-blind peeper or a closet dweller, she gets her smoke on right out in the open. Nothing new here, you can see Mischa smoking weed here this week and at Cannes here a few years ago.
