It's not our favorite thing to do (mostly because we prefer to listen to ourselves talk) but sometimes something is written somewhere, and summing it up just doesn't do the story justice. Today's Rush & Molloy is an example of one of those times.

In a new book about LSD and its "frontier man" Timothy Leary, a bio by the same name reveals that Uma Thurman's mom, former supermodel Nena von Schlebrugge, had quite an eventful first marriage.

Their Millbrook nuptials were a "phantasmagoric, magical mystery tour, the first real big coming-out party for all the A-list, jet-set, high-fashion beautiful people from New York who had recently discovered LSD," writes Greenfield. "Guests lined up to present the newlyweds with hash, grass and psychedelic mushrooms, as well as snuffboxes filled with LSD and cocaine." The wedding cake was crowned with the Hindu deities Shakti and Siva having sex.

The honeymooners headed to India, where they "ate psychedelic mushrooms to imprint a kabuki performance" on their memories. But it wasn't long before the marriage began unraveling. They took LSD once more to try to mend it. The drugs only made Leary flip out, says Greenfield. The pair called it quits, divorcing in 1965, a few months after returning to the United States.

Should somebody tell Britney Spears that we may have found a solution to her marriage woes?
