Just 9 days before her whip-it induced medical emergency … Demi Demi Moore — Returns to L.A. after Treatment [PICS]” href=”http://artis-x.com/demi-moore-returns-to-l-a-after-treatment-pics/”>Moore partied under the radar at Miley Cyrus‘ BF’s birthday bash in L.A.  … you know, the one with the penis cake … more evidence that Demi was desperately clinging on to her fading youth.

Multiple sources who were at Club Icon on January 14 tell us … Demi was hanging out with her Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized — Whitney Houston‘s Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]” href=”http://artis-x.com/bobbi-kristina-hospitalized-whitney-houstons-daughter-rushed-to-the-hospital-update/”>daughter Rumer and some young friends … mostly kickin’ it in the VIP section.

We’re told Demi was drinking Red Bull all night  … a drink she’s been obsessively sucking down for years. We’re told she left with Rumer sometime after midnight. 

A few days later, Demi was seen clubbing with Rumer around Hollywood … and on January 23rd, she was hospitalized after inhaling nitrous oxide in the form of whip-its, a drug that’s super popular with high school kids.

People familiar with the situation tell us … it’s not hard to connect the dots.  The woman who became famous for what people thought was eternal youth became a believer in the illusion, and it manifested itself in various ways — partying with her daughter and her 20-something friends, obsessing over her body image, and finally using drugs that appeal to people more than half her age.
