Tom Sizemore faced the judge yesterday, and there were some tears. He was in court to face charges of violating his 2004 probation for meth possession, which he admitted to. Last month, Tom was arrested for again possessing crystal in Bakerfield, California where he was doing it in the hotel parking lot or something.
Sizemore was brought into the courtroom in a jail-issued orange jumpsuit, wearing handcuffs, where he waited for a judge to hear the case. The judge asked Sizemore, "Do you agree you are in violation of your probation?" Tom replied, "Yes, your honor." The judge made her findings clear, telling the "Black Hawk Down" star, "Probation is a privilege ... Tom is not a matter of probation anymore because he has abused that privilege."Sizemore openly wept in court, begging the judge, "I don't want to go to jail ... give me one more chance ... I have a terrible disease ... drugs have strapped me around the neck ... I guarantee I am not going to be here again! I want to rehabilitate myself and become a good productive citizen to society."
That sounds like almost the exact same speech Robert Downey Jr. gave during his troubles. Note to our readers? Avoid meth. It's a dirty drug for dirty people, as my friend King Jeff points out. I don't care if you can fit into those 7 jeans better now - your teeth are crumbling and you look 60.

What in the world happened to Tom? I once thought he was going to become a really great actor. He looks like total cr@p now. This is a tragic tale. It goes to show you that it doesn't matter how many great opportunities and fortunes come your way, the war is within your mind. So unfortunate.
Prick Up your Ears says:
Saddest thing ever. He was so talented. I hope the Judge sentences him to 6 months to a year in rehab, instead of jail. Hopefully that'll straighten his ass out.
Zekers says:
It is very sad. I doubt he will straighten out without prison though, the ultimate bottom. They have substance abuse treatment within prison now-at least in most states-that's where he needs to be.
FreakyZ says:
Disease, my freaky fat ass. It was choice first, then a habit, now an addiction. Get cancer or scleroderma or Parkinson's then talk to me about disease.
Asshole.
Bill Cosby says:
I'll read "Scagnetti On Meth."
You think getting drilled in the dirt will cure his priapism or whatever sex problem he had?
JamieT says:
I dunno if you can truly call it a disease, but meth is definitely in a world of its own as far as drugs go. I've been watching it happen for over a decade to various cousins of mine who grew up in butt-fuck Kentucky; some have been addicted since they were 15 or 16 - it's tragically sad. However, it's not truly a problem prison can correct. Drugs get into prisons so much more easily than they do in true rehab facilities. From what I've heard and seen, most (not all) prison drug rehab facilities are a joke.
Drugs are not a problem the legal system can fix
Randi says:
FreakyZ, your comment warms the cockles of my jaded little heart. Sizemore is the man of 1001 vices -- hookers, womenbeating, drugs of all kinds, and so on. Blaming the fact he is a complete and total sleazebag on 'a disease' is bullshit. He has Assholitis and it is completely incurable.
Pearly says:
This loser has been an addict for 10+ years..I know him. Now it's meth? He needs to go to jail because multiple trips to rehab haven't helped and he spreads his sickness around..."I'm a star, party with me and I'll make YOU a star!" I hate this guy. No, I never partied with him cause I'm not a dope addict.
