Decades later Mackenzie Phillips continues to ruin her life



Poor Mackenzie Phillips. Busted again. Just in at TMZ: The One Day at a Time star was been arrested at LAX.

She was apparently stopped this morning during the screening process and security found baggies and balloons believed to contain heroin and cocaine. Phillips, 48, is in custody right now.

Mackenzie's drug troubles go way back. Here she is in 1998 testifying on Capitol Hill at a hearing on drug addiction.

[Recent conversation JPX had with Whirlygirl while watching American Graffiti 2 weeks ago]

JPX: Oh, there's Mackenzie Phillips looking so young!

WG: Who is Mackenzie Phillips?

JPX: You know, the chick from One Day at a Time who was kicked off the show because of her coke addiction.

WG: I've never heard of One Day at a Time.

JPX: You know, the show with Schneider?

WG: [blank look]

JPX: Sigh.

Yes, JPX, you are correct except that we were watching the first one not the sequel.

I said the original! The sequel was More American Graffiti, which was awful, by the way.

"while watching American Graffitti 2 weeks ago."

Yesss... is it watching the sequel weeks ago, or watching the original 2 weeks ago????? THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL!

Man, I'm sure she took the mule job because she needed the money (or the drugs), but aren't has-been drug-addled celebs the worst possible people to smuggle drugs?
