"Carrie Fisher briefly hospitalized after bipolar episode during bizarre performance on cruise ship The 'Star Wars' actress had to be treated after a 'medical incident' related to her manic depression, a representative said Carrie Fisher’s strange performance on the Holland America Eurodama cruise ship led some to think she was drunk, but her rep says, “there was a medical incident related to [her] bipolar disorder." Carrie Fisher checked into the hospital for treatment of her bipolar disorder after a wacky performance on a cruise ship. The actress, 56, appeared on stage last week as a surprise celebrity guest on the Holland America Eurodam and gave a bizarre performance, which one cruise member captured on video. The "Star Wars" actress slurred through snippets of songs, and even leaned down midway during her performance to clean up after her dog after it defecated and urinated on stage. Guests who witnessed Fisher's show speculate that the "Wishful Drinking" author was drunk at the time, but a representative told the Daily News that her behavior was related to mental illness. "There was a medical incident related to Carrie Fisher's bipolar disorder," Fisher's rep said. "She went to the hospital briefly to adjust her medication and is feeling much better now." Fisher has openly discussed her struggle with bipolar disorder in the past, as well as her past difficulties with drugs and alcohol. On the “Oprah Winfrey Show” in 2011, Fisher revealed that she receives electroshock therapy for manic depression every six weeks. “It feels like my brain gets moored down in cement, and [electroshock] kind of blows that apart,” Fisher said. “You can move on from whatever feelings you cannot resolve through therapy and medications.” www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OmrzrzXbQD8

"Man who claimed brainwashing by Justin Bieber found not guilty of criminal trespass at boys’ swim meet
MAYWOOD) A Rockford man who told police last month that he was looking for boys to have sex with and entered a boys high school swim meet after receiving a brainwave message from Justin Bieber was found not guilty Friday of criminal trespass to property.
Lawrence E. Adamczyk, 49, has an arrest history for inappropriate sexual conduct with juveniles, including arrests for sex acts at a west suburban fitness center, a high school in Rockford and the Northern Illinois University campus, police said.
Adamczyk told police that he took a train from Rockford to Brookfield on Jan. 12 and intended to go to Brookfield Zoo and look for young boys to have sex with, a release from Riverside police said. However, he told police that when he walked by Riverside-Brookfield High School, he received a brainwave message from recording artist Justin Bieber telling him to go to the school to see the kids there.
Adamczyk was confronted by security staff at the school about 9:45 a.m. in a hallway that was closed and off-limits at the time of the swim meet by security staff, police said. When security staff called police, there was a boys’ swimming competition taking place in the pool area at the high school. In addition, there were other sporting events taking place within the school.
When police arrived, they found Adamczyk, who had a duffel bag strapped across his chest, sitting in the bleachers and watching the swimming competition. When officers approached him and asked him what he was doing in the school, he initially told them that he had kids that were competing in the swimming event. When officers asked him for the names of his children, he paused and then refused to answer. After producing an ID that said he lived in Rockford, Adamczyk was taken into custody.
Following an evaluation at an area hospital, Adamczyk was released back into police custody and told officers about his initial plan to go to the zoo and the subsequent messages he believed he was receiving from Justin Bieber.
He went on went to say that he had been committing a sexual act while watching the boys swimming event before police arrived, the release said. Adamczyk “made several other intensely sexual statements involving young boys to Riverside police investigators that are simply too graphic to include in a public statement,” a police release said.
He faced trial Jan. 22 in Maywood, and on Friday Adamczyk was found not guilty of criminal trespass to property and disorderly conduct by Cook County Circuit Court Judge Ramon Ocasio, a release Friday from Riverside police said.
Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel expressed his disappointment with the ruling Friday. “I am extremely disappointed with Judge Ocasio’s ruling,” he stated in the release. “We had a solid case and direct testimony was given by both security personnel and police officers as to the circumstances surrounding Mr. Adamczyk’s arrest. The initial investigation and intensive follow up investigation clearly produced significant evidence for a conviction.”
Weitzel did, however, praise the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office for their aggressive prosecution of the case.
Weitzel said that at the time of his arrest in Riverside, Adamczyk was on electronic monitoring and had been paroled in December 2012 for an arrest that took place in St. Charles in July of 2011. In the St. Charles case he commited a sex act at a fitness center. He had also been arrested for similar crimes at a high school in Rockford in 2009 and the Northern Illinois University Campus in 2005, police said.
“Mr. Adamczyk’s criminal history clearly demonstrates a serious psychological deficiency. He is without a doubt a danger to society and has no business walking the streets as his intent has been apparent over the past 10 years -- targeting juveniles to engage in sex acts with. All of his prior cases either took place at schools, malls, fitness facilities or other public places. For too long, the state’s prison system has been a revolving door for offenders and parole violators, many who are released within months—often before they are even transferred out of a reception center,” Weitzel said.
“I cannot understand how this individual was not required to register as a sex offender,” Weitzel said.
Adamczyk, of the 1600 block of Oregon Street in Rockford, had been paroled to a halfway house on the 1300 block of East 71st Place in Chicago, the release said. Prior to the arrest in Riverside, Adamczyk told police he had been living on the street in Chicago.
Weitzel said that in light of this case, all felons who are convicted of a serious or violent offense—including sex offenders and child molesters—should not get early release."

'I went off the rails': Carrie Fisher opens up about her manic bi-polar episode which lead to bizarre cruise ship performance
She was hospitalised for treatment for her bipolar disorder after a manic episode on a cruise ship last month.
And as she continues to recover and adjust to new medication to help her mental illness, Carrie Fisher has opened up to People magazine about the incident.
Back in February, shock video footage emerged of Carrie onstage, pacing around, singing snippets of a song and stopping along the way to clean up after her dog who had urinated and soiled the stage.
The 56-year-old Star Wars actress says that she does not recall what happened nor what she did that day aboard the Holland America Eurodam.
'I went completely off the rails,' she says. 'I don't really remember what I did. I haven't watched the videos that people took.'
Carrie, who has been battling bi-polar disease for many years, in addition to a well-documented struggle with drugs and alcohol, says she was in a 'severe manic state' at the time.
'I was in a very severe manic state, which bordered on psychosis. Certainly delusional. I wasn't clear what was going on. I was just trying to survive,' she explains.
'There are different versions of a manic state, and normally they're not as extreme as this became. I've only had this happen one other time, 15 years ago, so I didn't have a plan of action.'
Carrie describes having a conversation with a television all those years ago as she sat in a psychiatric ward in hospital.
'I was being talked to by the television, hallucinating. I wasn't inside the TV, this time, thank god,' she says.
The actress, who has previously battle alcoholism, insists that she had not been drinking ahead of her cruise ship performance back in February.
In fact, Carrie says she was even attending on site AA meetings at the time of the incident.
'I wasn't drunk. Anyone who knows me knows that's no possible. On the ship, I had gone to AA meetings a couple of times, and those guys were very sweet and grounding for me. They actually came onstage and saved me,' she says.
Carrie says that warning signs came early in the trip when she started scribbling on everything in sight.
'I wasn't sleeping. I was writing on everything. I was writing in books; I would have written on walls. I literally would bend over and be writing on the ground and (my assistant) would try to talk to me, and I would be unable to respond,' she recalls.
She says that at the time of her manic episode she was on an anti psychotic medication called Seroquel, but it was clearly malfunctioning.
That, in combination with her sleep cycles being 'off', caused the 'perfect storm of events', leading to the bizarre onstage appearance.
The following day after the onstage incident, Carrie deboarded the ship in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
She immediately checked herself into the UCLA's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital for treatment.
The actress was there for five days before moving to a residential facility where she is currently residing.
Now she says she is focused on getting used to her new medication.
The only lesson for me, or for anybody, is that you have to get help. It's not a neat illness. It doesn't go away,' she says.
The California native says she first realised she was bi-polar at around the age of '14 or 15 years old.'
Her father, famous actor Eddie Fischer, also suffered from the mental illness.
Carrie recalls the moment her father came home from a trip to Hong Kong with '180 silk suits' and also claims that the pair did drugs together.
'We were like badly behaved children,' she recalls.
Several years later Carrie went to rehab and got sober, but while her sober buddies all 'calmed down', she says 'she went in another direction'.
'I went to the doctor and said: "I felt normal on acid" and he said that is consistent with what we know as a manic state.'
Carrie has previously discussed her problems with drugs, and struggle with bipolar, most notably on ABC's 20/20 and The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive with Stephen Fry for the BBC.
British icon Fry described his good friend Fisher as 'not mad enough to be committed, but not sane enough to lead much of a normal life.'
She has also opened up on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatments, saying she receives ECT every six weeks to 'blow apart the cement' in her brain, and also survived an overdose.
Carrie also told chat show queen Oprah Winfrey: 'It makes me feel better, it is not like it was.
'They put you to sleep and give you a medication so there is no convulsions and put these films on you and it is over very quickly.'
Carrie also spoke to Australian newswire AAP, saying: 'Slowly, I realised I was doing a bit more drugs than other people and losing my choice in the matter.
'We did cocaine on the set of Empire, in the ice planet [the second film of the original trilogy]. I didn't even like coke that much, it was just a case of getting on whatever train I needed to take to get high.'
Despite her struggles, Carrie has continued to work in the entertainment industry, notably voicing Angela in Family Guy, and for penning bestselling novel Postcards from the Edge. She also featured in episodes of Weeds, 30 Rock and Entourage."
