LOS ANGELES (Sept. 3) - Former teen star Mackenzie Phillips has re-entered rehab less than a week after she was found allegedly carrying narcotics at Los Angeles International Airport, her rep has confirmed.
According to TMZ, this will be her tenth stint in treatment for substance abuse.
The former "One Day at a Time" star has been formally charged with felony possession of drugs stemming from the Aug. 27 incident.
District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says Phillips has been charged with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, heroin and cocaine. She also faces a misdemeanor count of unauthorized possession of a needle or syringe.
The 48-year-old Phillips is out on $20,000 bail.
Phillips was heading to New York last month when she failed to pass a security screening and a secondary search turned up needles and suspected drugs.
She is the daughter of John Phillips, founder of The Mamas and the Papas pop group. She was fired from "One Day at a Time" in 1982 for drug-related reasons.

Well, I must say that sometimes it's easy to judge people when you've never been where there at or where they've been. I've known junkies who were binge(rs) but never totally yr. after yr. and eventually then got their lives together. Someone needs to introduce her to Jesus.. I'll be praying for ya . Look what she grew up in - the times the drugs always around- she's never really known anything else. God bless her.. I feel for her. She's empty inside and needs the dope to fill the void.. seen it a million times...not to mention it's awful powerful stuff she's doing. but she does still look amazingly good for what she's been through all be it surgery or whatever- she still looks pretty.

This lady should try some cyanide next time she wants to get a high, if she lives after that we should erect a statue in her hone for being the world's most hardcore junkie.

iTS ASTOUNDING to me that this woman is still, alive. Correct me if I am wrong but didnt Sid Vicious die of heroin around the same time this woman was famous? I am talking like back in 1978, Its MIRACULOUS that she surived this long - seriously. It is also equally amazing to me that so many people are clinging to life and trying to survive and this woman is doing everything she can to destroy herself for almost 4 decades and is still breathing, living and walking. WTF. She has consumed every conceivable drug known to medical science and is still above ground would somebody please explain to me how this is possible? Its amazing to me that she is still alive. Its totally amazing.
