LAWRENCE BLAMES PROBLEMS ON POT

Actor-comedian Martin Lawrence says marijuana made him do it.

Funnyman Lawrence tells USA Today heavy pot smoking drove him to much of the bad behavior that made headlines over the past several years.

Lawrence's publicist says the 37-year-old father of three doesn't smoke dope anymore.

Lawrence cited events since 1996 -- some fueled by marijuana -- that made the papers, including two incidents in which he was found to be carrying a gun.

In 1999, Lawrence went into a coma for three days after collapsing while jogging in near 100-degree heat wearing heavy clothing and a wool cap, a bizarre episode that Lawrence said changed his life.

Joel called the Connecticut facility a "dump" and said the food was "terrible."

He told the Sun-Times he went into rehab after spending a period of time on his "red wine diet," in which he drinks nothing but red wine.
