Mackenzie Phillips: Two Felonies at a Time

Posted Sep 3rd 2008 1:55PM by TMZ Staff

UPDATE: Phillips' lawyer, Blair Berk, just appeared in court on Mackenzie's behalf and continued the case. The judge said he expects the case will settle. Berk is famous for plea bargaining cases and saving celebrity asses.

Troubled actress Mackenzie Phillips has been charged with two felonies stemming from her arrest at LAX on August 27.

She was charged with one count of felony possession of cocaine and another for possession of heroin. The DA tacked on a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic needle or syringe ... just for kicks.

Phillips was popped at LAX after baggies of cocaine and heroin fell out of her pants while going through airport security.

1. I believe it was a total cry for help on her part just from the way she reacted. I wish her well.

5. I remember her last rehab was at Alina Lodge. She stayed there for 9 months. How much rehab can one person do? Maybe she belongs in Needle Park.

9. It's a hard thing, but you don't give up. You just keep on workin' for sobriety. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time.

12. Cripes, and when she goes to rehab she should get some makeup tips!! Her makup looks worse than Heath Ledger's in the Dark Knight! I truly hope she does get better and gets the help she so desperately needs...she's been hauling that big monkey around on her back a long, long time.
