A Little Song, Dance, Heroin Down My Pants

Posted Aug 28th 2008 11:56AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained photos of evidence seized in Mackenzie Phillips drug bust.

The photos show three balloons and three small Ziplock bags which cops say contained heroin and cocaine. There is also a pic of 34 syringes, her mugshot and her driver's license.

The TSA initially did not suspect drugs. TSA employees then began to pat her down -- which is routine -- and she became uncooperative. They asked her to sit, and that's when we're told the balloons and baggies fell from her waistband through her pant leg and onto the floor.

At that point, MacKenzie knew she was caught and said so to folks at TSA.

107. Michelle Phillips is her STEP mother and actually tried to help her and many of the other kids in that troubled drug family. Her dad, John Phillips of the Mama's was the drug addict and actually used to party with Mackenzie back in the day... it's too sad for her.

109. so people today feel that we should allow others to do whatever they want these days. Some feel we should allow people to do drugs because its their own bodies... nvm that its illegal and also that the fact she was trying to get on a plane with it.
Then we have others who say who cares if Iran wants a nuclear plant and now they can have the ability to make nuclear weapons...nvm the fact they already stated that they wish to wipe out all who opposes them

110. How can you say drug addiction is a disease-comparing that to leukemia, rheumatoid arthrits, cancer, lupus, kidney disease, heart disease and on and on?? Sure, some of these health issues are caused by addictions, but lots aren't. My ex was a drunk and a drug addict, and despite everyone in his life trying everything in our power to get him rehab'd , he still CHOSE to go out and get his drugs and his booze. He lost his family, his friends, and ultimately his life. His desire to get high meant more to him than his children. If he did have a disease, it was the disease of selfishness.

I'll save my sympathy and compassion for those beings that deserve it.

114. YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S HER LIFE, LET HER LIVE IT AS SHE SEES FIT. I HAD A FRIEND OD AND DIE AND I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET HER HELP. THE COPS SAID IT WAS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. BUT IF YOU ARE RICH AND FAMOUS IT'S EVERYONES BUSINESS. IT'S TIME WE DECRIMINALIZE SIMPLE DRUG POSESSION. REMEMBER PROHIBITION? THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHIER. I DON'T ADVOCATE THE USE OF HARD DRUGS BUT i DON'T CONDEM THOSE THAT DO USE THEM. WAKE UP AMERICA AND START PUTTING REAL CRIMINALS IN JAIL.

115. Keepin it real, you are an absolute idiot. Do not talk about things you have no understanding for. Addiction, is very much a disease. Yes, it starts out as a choice, you choose to take them in the first place. However, the chemicals in your brain change, that's where the disease comes into play. It's not a simple matter of "why don't they just quit taking them, or quit drinking". If it was that simple, don't you think there wouldn't be any addicts? Why don't you try never eating chocolate again, or fast food, or something else your body has come acustom to.. Not that easy is it. Sure, you could probably go for a while not having it, but eventually you're going to eat that Hershey's Kiss... Then before you know it, you're eating the whole bag, and you don't know how it started. As far as all the rehab facilities, and programs, have you ever looked into how much those things cost? There's a reason people aren't taking advantage of them. Most addicts don't have $60K to spend, and government funding isn't available unless you're court ordered into treatment. Why don't you do some research, before you open your ignorant mouth.

116. "keepin it real" 's profound ignorance is amazing. Its such a pleasure reading comments posted by people who clearly have no idea what they speak of..Please, bless us more with your noteworthy insight; ITS HILARIOUS! It's gems like you who make it worth the scroll of the page. Gotta love people who revel in others misfortunes..As for Mackenzie, keep that head up, homegirl..You're in our prayers!!

117. Earlier this year Mackenzie was on the Today show promoting the release of "One day at a time" on DVD and it looked to me like she had relapsed, her body language was screaming "relapsed" to me. It's a shame, God be with her.

118. Jill states: "SHE'S HURTING HERSELF" That she isn't hurting anyone else. WRONG! She IS hurting her child and anyone that loves and cares for her. Jill baby.....Next time someone you love, say a biyfriend, brother, or sister decide to hurt themselves with drugs, I want you to stand idly around and mind your own business. Just let them kill themselves because THEY ARE NOT HURTING ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES!
