Just say no, kids. Anyone shocked at Michael Jackson’s drug use may be alarmed to know that his habits are fairly common among huge celebrities. Eminem has confirmed as much in a new interview with Complex magazine, where he talks about a familiar feeling creeping over him when he learned of Jackson’s demise.

He said: "When you read things about Michael Jackson it's hard to decipher what the fuck is true, but there's the story of how he woke up at whatever time and he needed something to go back to sleep because he has this or that and it didn't work - that's exactly what used to happen to me.”

"I could just say, 'Yo, I need this and this and this,' and they're going to give me whatever I want,” he said. "I would take a couple of pills and I would be up an hour later and I'd want more.” Clearly, what the music world needs is a modern day equivalent of Nancy Reagan (see video above).
