Jewel is an alcoholic


Joining the list of snaggle-tooth stars who love their drink (which only includes Kirsten Dunst as far as I know, but that sounded funny) is Jewel, who praises the merits of alcohol in a recent quote:

JEWEL has apparently gone from clean-living songbird to Robitussin-swilling lush. The Alaskan hottie, 32, reveals she recently started hitting the happy juice – and is loving every minute of her drunken bliss. “I didn’t start drinking until I was 30,” Jewel tells Blender. “I grew up singing for alcoholics, and it never really seemed like alcohol fixed anything. I was afraid that it would get me. Around 30, I kind of realized that alcohol really does solve all your problems. Whoever said drinking doesn’t help lied. You live and you learn.”

Maybe Jewel is drinking high quality vodka or taking that active charcoal stuff that prevents hangovers, because drinking a lot is really counter productive in our extensive experience.

Also, it’s weird that The Post says Jewel drinks Robitussin because all she said was that she enjoys alcohol. She was probably joking and so is The Post, but she must be drinking a lot or why would she joke like that?

Here is Jewel shooting her new video “Good Day” [via] She is shown with her boyfriend of 7 years, Ty Murray, called the “king of the cowboys.”

    She had to have been really drunk at the time to say that alcohol solves all of your problems. Hell, I love my drinkies, too–Mr. Jameson and I go back a long way–but not to solve my problems.
