'Army Wives' Star Kim Delaney Kicked Off Stage After Drunken Speech At Military Ceremony (VIDEO)


Kim Delaney, what were you thinking?
The star of Lifetime’s “Army Wives” was escorted off stage at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center Thursday night (Sept. 22) after delivering a highly inappropriate and seemingly incomprehensible speech. Warning: It's not pretty.
At the event, which was honoring former defense secretary Robert Gates, Delaney incomprehensibly rambled on the podium about how she had "served in active military duty family for five years."
"I've seen soldiers come home with painful life-altering injuries borne of their time and service," she continued, slurring. "I've attended numerous military funerals, including that of my best friend's son."
Except, she really hasn't.
"I do that as a job," the incoherent actress clarified. "It's all make believe. I have the luxury to do all of this on a television show."
Video from ABC affiliate WPVI (below) shows the crowd growing uncomfortable as Delaney continues her speech. She was the escorted off stage, before finishing her remarks.
Delaney has had issues with substance abuse in the past. In 2002, she was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving after she refused to take a breathalyzer test. She has also sought rehab for alcohol addiction twice.

'Charlie's Angels' Series Premiere: An Angel Dies (VIDEO)


"Once upon a time, there were three young women who got into very big trouble…"
And that's how the new series introduces us to the three new Angels - ex-cat burglar Abby (Rachael Taylor), former dirty cop Kate (Annie Ilonzeh) and disgraced marine Gloria (Nadine Velazquez). Yet, the same can also be said for the three actresses that signed on for this "Charlie's Angels" ABC reboot.
Sadly, there's nothing here that distinguishes this from the original "Charlie's Angles," except that Bosley is now a smooth womanizing computer hacker named Bos (Ramon Rodriguez)
We learn from an opening Charlie voice-over that the Angels are on a mission to rescue Sarah Daniels, a 16-year-old being held captive by the legendary unseen trafficker Baharo. Long story short, thanks to some kung-fu magic -- and the fact that Bosley somehow has access to a 'satellite camera' that can see inside the room (insert groan here) -- the Angels rescue Sarah.
So what do they do? Celebrate, of course! But one Angel is not happy. Gloria is frustrated that they will never track down Baharo himself, but the matter doesn't concern her for long because as she leaves the agency, Gloria is killed by a car bomb!
And now the girls are sad -- very sad. And they say things like, "I never thought my heart could hurt this much" and "We were a family, she was our sister." And now we're sad because it's not over yet.
Long story short, Minka Kelly becomes the new Angel.
From sub-par acting to terrible writing, this was a disappointment in any era.
