  At age thirty-four, Heather Donahue’s life went to pot. Literally. After starring in The Blair Witch Project—the indie film-turned-blockbuster that Roger Ebert named one of the ten Most Influential Movies of the Century—she became a household name. When the afterglow of the movie faded and her acting career stalled, she had visions of an epitaph reading, “Here Lies the Girl from The Blair Witch Project.” Determined to start anew, she burned the remains of her Hollywood life in the desert, meditated for a few days, and then followed her brand-new boyfriend to her brand-new life—farming medical marijuana.

  Download

  Duration: 14:47

  Comedian Mark Malkoff recently visited L.A. - but instead of spending on money on hotels, he contacted celebrities to see if they'd let them stay in their homes. Thus was born "Celebrity Sleepovers," showing now on MyDamnChannel.com. Mark slept in the treehouse of his teen heartthrob Justine Bateman from "Family Ties," and visited the homes of Camryn Manheim of "The Practice," "Bridesmaids" director Paul Feig, Rob Corddry, Internet superstar iJustine, Steven Weber (of "Wings" fame), the famous houseguest Kato Kaelin, Dave Coulier of "Full House," Kate Walsh and others. A new episode is being released each week. Mark is known for his comedic stunts. In the past, he's lived in an IKEA for a week, lived on an airplane for a month, and has beaten a New York City bus by riding a Big Wheel. He's been to every Starbucks in Manhattan in the same day, and we had him on last year after he went through a 30-day challenge to see if he could get real six pack abs. Since then he's brought a goat to an Apple store and proved you can have fun in Holland without getting high.
