Wednesday November 22, 2000
MOVIE star Melanie Griffith is keeping fans up to date with her battle against addiction to pain killers and sleeping pills by posting messages on a web site.
The actress, who announced last week that she had entered a drug rehabilitation clinic, is writing a detox diary for a lifestyle and showbiz site.
The 43-year-old, married to actor Antonio Banderas, had to miss Saturday's wedding of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas to attend what she described as a `step down program from the prescribed medication that I have been taking for a neck injury'.
Her messages can be viewed at www.oneworldlive.com and Griffith's own website www.melaniegriffith.com.
