The hot new drugs are numbing blasts from the past, the ones with which such burnished icons as Elvis and Liz made headlines in their heydays of excess. Young superstar actors, rappers and chart-topping singers are popping pain pills. It's chic, it's mellowing, and some think it's funny. During January's Golden Globe awards, Just Shoot Me star David Spade joked, "I found 10 Vicodin in my gift basket."
