ShowBiz: Gossip:  DRUG CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST JON BON JOVI'S DAUGHTER [2012-11-16 01:00:00]

Jon Bon Jovi's daughter, Stephanie Rose Bongiovi, is off the hook after overdosing.

She no longer faces drug charges because of New York's law applying to overdose cases in which there was a call for help.

Bongiovi and a male pal were arrested this week on drug possession charges after officers found heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia in her dorm room.

Yesterday, the misdemeanor charges against both were dropped because of a 2011 amendment to the New York penal code exempting people from possession charges if they had sought help for somebody experiencing a "drug or alcohol overdose or other life-threatening medical emergency."

The so-called "Good Samaritan" section of the law applies to the Bongiovi case because her friend had called for help for the rocker's daughter as she suffered a possible overdose.

ShowBiz: Gossip:  AFTER BIG DADDY'S DEATH, AND A DIVORCE, DOG WHISPERER CESAR MILLAN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE [2012-11-16 01:00:00]

The deaths of a beloved dog, and his marriage, was almost too much for Cesar Millan to handle.

In Feb. 2010, TV's "Dog Whisperer" "Daddy" died, the 16-year-old pit bull who had been Millan's best example of a "calm, submissive" dog.

Then, in June of that year, Millan learned that his wife of 16 years, Ilusion Millan, had filed for divorce.

He admitted, "I was at the lowest level I had ever been emotionally and psychologically."

So low, in fact, that he attempted suicide.

Cesar says, "Daddy was my Tibet, my Himalaya, my Gouda, my Buddha, my source of calmness".

After surviving the overdose, he burined himself in work and exercise, and too many antidepressants. His recovery progressed when he met Jahira Dar, a woman Millan calls "the one."

He plans to propose soon. 

Watch "Cesar Millan: The Real Story", a documentary airing on Nat Geo Wild on Nov. 25.
