Defamer
Generation Rx sounded pretty cool when the term was first coined, but now that Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Britney and Lindsay have all boarded the Adderall bandwagon, we fear the pill-popping twenty-something crowd has officially snorted the shark. According to reports in both the New York Daily News and on abc.com, crushing the little blue pills and snorting them is the oh-so-coolest way to stay skinny, replacing old time faves caffeine, cigs and (if you're adventurous) cocaine. But just as we started hating on all the celebs using the pill-of-the-week to lose weight, we read a bit more about who else in Hollywood is hooked on the jitterbuggy meds. After the jump, learn which highest of highbrow actresses is also suspected of Adderall addiction:
From a nutrition expert at Berkeley quoted in ABC's piece: "I watched Atonement last night and thought that Keira Knightley looked like she was a refugee from a concentration camp." Um, zing? While the nutrition expert's assertion is far from scientific, and while we concur that anything the members of the Bimbo Summit do is officially trashy, we must admit we're not sure what to make of the news that a British blueblood lass like Keira has (allegedly) joined Gen Rx. Just watch, next thing we know she'll be swinging from the chandeliers at the Chateau Marmont while a giddy Pete Doherty looks on. Say it ain't so, Keira!

Snorted the shark? Goodness, that is one damn good turn of phrase. And leave Keira alone! Do you know how fun it is to play count-the-ribs with friends as we watch her movies?
Adderall is for lightweights. These folks should try Dexedrine, considering that they have access to pill-happy doctors.
Too much background information: I can take 20mg Adderall and be asleep in a half hour. Now I'm on a high dose of Dexy to keep me upright. It has, however, *not* made me scandalously thin, unfortunately.
Why not snort leeches or tapeworm? They grow in your intestines like Sea Monkeys and can take care of your Oh My God I Weigh More Than Ninety Pounds problem from the inside out.
like snorting pixie sticks turns your snot blue highly doubtful
And don't forget tapeworms are organic..
Since when do people "Crush" gelcaps?
It could well be true. Keira's 21st birthday party made Kate Moss's 30th look like a Sweet Sixteen.
No, that was sarcasm. Sort of. The joke, here, is that I don't want to look like a concentration camp victim and/or Ryan Seacrest, but also that if you're being kind you could describe me as "roly-poly." Think a younger, gayer Drew Carey with better hair.
C'mon. Be nice. It's really hard to pay attention when you haven't eaten in over a year.
Only the babies take the blue Adderall pills. Those are 10mg or less. The good ones are orange.
So the Ivy League enhancement drugs have reached Hollywood... Is nothing sacred anymore?! These were the smart people pills!
I'll just stick with smoking meth, thank you very much. I'm scary-skinny. Plus, it heightens my pleasure of staring at shiny objects.
@nonce: Second the Dexedrine. I haven't had any in over a year, but God that stuff made me energized and productive.
Good for the ladies!
It's just good economics.
In Hollywood: Less body mass = more value (because there is less of them to go around).
A 200 pound Kira would be worth far less then the current 86 pound flyweight.
@dumblonde: Let 'em have the blues ones. We'll keep our pinky-orange ones.
The blue ones are a measly 10mg whereas the orange ones are 20 or 30mg. I doubt any of these girls are getting the lower doses (maybe at first). Also, wouldn't you think the "blue pill" refers to Viagra which only comes in a blue pill form?
@nonce:
Third on the Dexedrine. I did lose weight on it too.
Dexedrine + Blue Dream Weed = Best. Functional. High. Ever.
