Brian Moylan · 03/22/11 09:52AM

Her biography claims she did odd jobs to make ends meet before becoming famous. (The odd job? Prostitution.)

Marie Bardi · 03/22/11 08:50AM

Reporter High on Salvia: 'I Felt Like Gene Kelly'

Jeff Neumann · 03/22/11 04:48AM

Intrepid Daily News reporter Irving DeJohn has one of the better jobs in media. He gets paid to get "high" on video and dance like Gene Kelly! DeJohn convinced his editors that he should buy some salvia, a dorm-size bowl, and get high on the street. So, what happened? As you can see in the video above, DeJohn was underwhelmed by the experience, and lamented the fact that he didn't see any goblins or have the chance to float over the Empire State Building. That's understandable, since salvia falls under the fake drugs category. But, we've got a suggestion! Tell the culture desk that you need some PCP — You get dusted, fight a cop, and maybe even carjack a cab. You'll have a one way ticket to Central Booking! Not that's an experience.
