atara for pointing this one out to me.
Apparently Alexa Ray Joel (Billy Joel's daughter) attempted suicide back in December by overdosing on some of her medicine. I think the most critical part of the story is what I quoted below though, with parts of it rendered in bold for emphasis.
Fire Department officials said she told medics she had taken eight pills and was having trouble breathing.
"She is stable," said Claire Mercuri, Alexa Ray's publicist, hours after she arrived at the hospital.
Two law enforcement sources said the overdose appeared to be intentional, though a person close to Alexa Ray said she only ingested a homeopathic antihistamine called Traumeel.
You're doing it wrong, girl. If you really wanted to overdose on homeopathic medicine then you should have cut up one of the pills and taken 1/8th of a pill, dissolved in a gallon of water. Now that's powerful stuff!

Oh, and in other news...
