MARTIN LAWRENCE PAYS BACK TEACHER WHO INFLUENCED HIM THE MOST.

Heads up for you teachers out there who would rather send the class clown to the principal office when they act up. If you give them a couple of minutes to show off their talent, when they grow up and make it big, chances are they just might hook you up! For instance, Martin Lawrence bought his high school art teacher a new car after making in it Hollywood - because his success was all down to her. Lawrence claims Miss Henderson - who he nicknamed Froggy - gave him the opportunity to vent his creativity, and showed him a way to make money by being funny. He tells Maxim magazine, "The first person who encouraged me to get into comedy was my high school art teacher, Miss Henderson. I'd always disrupt her class, so she said, 'If you can just chill during class, I'll give you the last five minutes to make us laugh. Then one day she mentioned this open mic night at a club. "She said, 'If you become an actor, you can buy me a car. As soon as the cheques started coming in, I bought her a car."

Bless his heart.

Below are a couple of pics of Martin as he arrived at the MTV studios in Times Square last month.

Alcohol and drug addiction is a disease that progresses through predictable stages. It takes a trained health professional, often a doctor specializing in addiction medicine, to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the most appropriate treatment.

A Drug Rehabilitation treatment center should offer a variety of treatment programs that meet individual needs. Programs may include inpatient, residential, outpatient, and/or short-stay options.

The difference between inpatient and a residential treatment center is that inpatient services are provided by a licensed hospital, while residential programs usually do not meet the same rigorous standards of medical care.

The length of stay depends on the severity and stage of the disease.

FYI he did NOT give Mrs Henderson the nickname "froggy". She is/was my mother and had that nickname since college.
