Carrie Fisher: Cruise Disaster?

Why is everyone from Star Wars now completely effed up?

Obi-Wan is gay, Luke Skywalker looks like a drug addict, and Carrie Fisher has gone insane.

Howdidshesinksolowastoperformonapervertcruise?

looks like even the "chosen people" can have problems.

And has gone where no wombedman has gone since dildos island.

Don't throw stones at glass houses? I admit that Carrie has issues, but there is a mojority in Hollywood that do. Give the woman a break. She's Leia, she loves Ewoks for Christ's sake. I am skeptical about the new movie, but I WILL see it, like everyone else.

Sweet, psychotic episodes rule!

Not everyone!!!

As Dan Akroid would say, "Carrie you ignorant slut!"

This story is a lie because nobody swims in Half Moon Bay. Maybe the author meant Half Moon Cay.

Part of her better health involves taking control. One must give up all control to sail on a cruise ship. You are powerless to do anything but eat, drink, dance and gamble. I know some say, what else is there.

A message from outer no-space

she has always been a nut case, why would anyone hire her to do anything.

I cannot imagine dealing with all she has dealt with, her book explains some of the difficulties in her life better, but to deal with mental illness and keeping medication in check is surely not easy. She needs our prayers, not our gossip.

She is bipolar if you did not know.

We all need to have sympathy for mental illness & chemical addiction. I love her. She is so funny, witty, and kind. I struggle with stuff too & it hurts so much to be judged.

SHE WENT SWIMMING WITH HER CLOTHES ON WHILE ON VACATION? WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?

That's almost as bad as standing on the street corner dealing cocaine! SHE'S OUT OF CONTROL!

*end sarcasm*

Obi-Wan died in 2000, and was married to a woman for 62 years and had a son.

I so agree with you – bipolar disorder can cause such havoc in a person's life as well as those around them – and there's no rhyme or reason as to what and how medications will work – and meds one has been on consistently can suddenly stop working – so frustrating indeed. She needs compassion from others, not judgement

She is a hot mess, and she comes from such a dysfunctional family that nothing surprises me. There is medication for manic depression. It just isn't meant to be mixed with alcohol. She's her own worst enemy.

You're still a Princess to me. Get well my lady, and show them your stuff in 2015!

Princess Leia's pet ewok took a dookie or two on the stage…bfd!

I was there, so I can correct some things.

She did not "scream" for people to stop leaving. People were leaving her show throughout; it was only at the end that she took notice and called for us to come back. "Scream" really wasn't what happened. But she did run out after us, which is where the MC decided to stop the show.

The dog, Gary was adorable, but the two deposits — a #1 and a #2 — did steal focus from the star. These incidents were dealt with promptly; Ms. Fisher sopped up the first episode whilst spontaneously singing a capella.

It's Half Moon Cay, not Half Moon Bay.

She did confirm that all three principles — Hamill, Fisher and Ford — will be filming Star Wars VII this summer. "I get to be wise in this one," she said.

I don't blame the cruise line. They had to know that bringing out Ms. Fisher was a roll of the dice (and the roll did admittedly come up snake-eyes that night). Entertainment on a cruise ship is common, but we got a real story out of this episode. No regrets, and I wish Carrie and Gary well.

Unfortunately some people, even with medication still have troubles with mental illness. I have been dealing with Bi-Polar all my life, and even if you stay on your medication, you still have episodes. Many bi-polar individuals do not take their meds regularly, or it can be as simple as missing a dosage. Mental Illness is a big problem here in the states.

So everyone with a mental disability should just go straight to welfare?

You are obviously not talking about something you have personal experience with. Imagine having your worst day ever for weeks at a time. Bi-polar symptoms are managed with medication, not cured. People still have episodes no matter what. Maybe become literate about the illness before you pass judgement.

Brian C Mck – I have a family member who is bi polar and yes, even on meds there are trying times. But then there is a period of relative peace and that makes her think she can go off her meds. And when that happens, all hell breaks loose.

You are lucky to never have had to deal with a friend, acquaintance or loved one being Bi Polar DeeDee. If you had you would never make such a statement.

this is such BS—you can tell it's fake! don't believe what you read–this is like the inquirer repentage lies inr.com http://www.kabbalah.com http://www.madonnalicious.com http://www.matthewshepard.org.

leave her alone.

I love Carrie Fisher and you have to understand…she's battled this her entire life. Sometimes like a drunk…mental health suffers go OFF the wagon…she did.

I am so glad to see most of the comments on here are in support of Carrie. I do know someone with bipolar disease, but most of my experience with it comes because I was once active in the medical field. It's a sad plight, one that deserves compassion and sympathy, not ridicule. God speed, Carrie!

Went swimming with clothes on? Wow…….probably in a hurry to wash off the Vaseline from the cruise.

I have no sympathy for people like her. None. When she was living the High Wave from her imbecilic parents' fame, she "learned" how to behave normally. I am sorry. I am old fashioned. My grandmother was MORE beuatiful than she was when she was young, and my mother and sister also. And they were all too busy to act nuts. This is an act. She's a has-been nobody. Who the hell cares? Get a job. This country is in the midst of an Economic Collapse, common folk–who made these people wealthy–watching their nonsense on the silver screen, are losing their jobs left and right. And we should be sympathetic for a middle-aged Spoiled Brat? Let's talk about J Lo's latest Halloween Costume, or who in Hollywood got arrested for drugs and DUI–people do nutty things and blame it on "Bi-Polar" and their mama hit them once, or a Priest(in their minds) molested them back in 1956-Stupid Country.

This Country would probably elect her President if she ran. Why not? Her mental stability qualifies her to run this America.

@ Brad The ORIGINAL Obi-Wan, Alec Guinness was NOT gay, and neither is Ewan McGregor. Oh, and his name is MARK HAMILL, not Luke Skywalker. You obviously need to spend more time at your college, learn maturity, and then come back and post a comment.

I met her in 1980 at a private screening for "Empire" and she was very gracious and pleasant. there was not a single hint that she was struggling with her issues. having suffered through some intense depression problems myself years ago, I can understand how difficult it is to come to grips with these problems and stay on top of it all. praying for her and millions like her who are struggling.

If you want to hear a first hand report of this than listen to the latest episode of Jonny McGoverns podcast. He was there and witnessed it all. Plus it's more entertaining than this article.

Wow you're dumb, even if the guy who played obi-wan was gay how would that be messed up?
p.s. capitals suck.

swimming in Half Moon Bay in winter she's pretty macho.

My prayers are with her, I hope this does not hinder her from getting other jobs. I can see how it might.

Not the judge and Jury. Hang in there. Medications can sometimes get out of whack. Get back up and I hope you will consider the new Star Wars movie. Can't be easy up on that big screen.

She is a person with bipolar. And there is still many people out there who don't know that they have bipolar disorder.

Her bipolarity is exactly what makes her brilliant and impossible. I really don't feel as sorry for her however as I do the nameless faceless millions who deal with this disease without the support system and forgiveness she clearly gets.

I am always wary about jumping to conclusions about substance abusers when there are compounding circumstances. In Carrie's case, she has openly discussed her ongoing battle with addiction, weight issues, her bipolar disorder, and her ECT experiences. Some or all or none of these things could have contributed to what occurred on the cruise. I am not willing to condemn her just yet. Not to make light, but everyone should really check out her hilarious one woman show that was featured on HBO not too long ago. She is just so funny and talented; it is a shame what happened on the cruise.

Some of the most intelligent people, have some kind of mental illness.

I guess she still thinks she is in a galaxy Far, Far Away

we still love her.
