Whitney Houston Checks Into Rehab Again

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Mon, 09 May 2011 14:50:00 EDT

Whitney Houston, 47, voluntarily checked into an outpatient rehab program 10 days ago for drug and alcohol treatment, her rep has confirmed. Houston's first stint in rehab was in 2004 after she told Diane Sawyer in an infamous Primetime interview that she "partied a lot," but checked out only five days later. She reentered a facility a year later after her mother Cissy Houston petitioned a Georgia court to order her into rehab in March 2005. More »

Why Lindsay Lohan's $58,000 A Month Rehab Failed

Jessica G. — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 12:00:00 EST

It's difficult to read Amanda Fortini's excellent New Yorker article on the West Hollywood-based "celebrity" rehab center Wonderland without trying to figure out which sodden celebs are behind the very glaring blind items. For instance, which early-90s lady rocker with a 15-year-old heroin addiction was recently admitted on a "scholarship"? Which regular client of Wonderland's executive director, Howard Samuels, is "an actor and former cocaine addict in his late thirties who, while on location, had cheated on his wife with his twenty-three-year-old co-star"? Not that Samuels would mind the speculation about his clientele, because he actively goes on television to talk about the drug addictions of the celebrities he's treated - Lindsay Lohan, for one - and Samuels doesn't even believe that it's a violation of privacy.

David Duchovny Needs Sexual Healing

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:00:00 EDT

David Duchovny, 48, has entered rehab for sex addiction. Here's his statement: "I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family." Duchovy has been married to Tea Leoni since 1997 and they have 2 kids: daughter Madelaine West, 9, and son Kyd, 6. (Um, remember this?) [People]
Oh, god. There's info floating around that Tea Leoni is secretly dating Billy Bob Thornton. And this old blind item ("What actor, Mr. X, is having an affair? The file on him is that he's screwing his (female) tennis instructor. Yup. His actress wife is going to become a Lion when she finds out!") seems to clearly be about Duchovny and Leon. WTF.

Steven Tyler: Only His Feet Are In Rehab

Steven Tyler says his "trademark athletic performances" injured his feet and that's why he's in rehab. He explains: "The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time. The 'foot repair' pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet."

Michael Lohan: Looking for Lindsay! Apparently he heard she was in New York with Sam Ronson and was kind of hanging around her hotel even though she has no interest in seeing him.

He was sitting on the steps and texting like mad, and looking very upset that she hadn't arrived." [Page Six]

Things on I Know My Kid's a Star have been getting super ugly as the competition nears the end. Danny Bonaduce had the moms on his morning radio show, and he asked them which of the children will end up in rehab first. (Notice he said "first" rather than "at all.") The women decided that little Mary Jo will be the first to just say yes to drugs and check-in to a 12 step program... because her mother was briefly married to a cross-dresser. Clip above. More »

Amy Winehouse Performs Live, Seems A Little...Odd

Slut Machine — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

The questions on everyone's mind during Amy Winehouse's Grammy performance (via satellite) of "You Know I'm No Good" and "Rehab" last night was whether or not the singer (currently in rehab) was actually sober. She seemed kinda...different. (Actually, she seemed really animated, and maybe we're just not used to seeing her like that, because the Amy we'd grown accustomed to was the Amy who couldn't get through a set without pulling something out of her hair to snort.) Anyway, she won five awards last night, including Record of the Year, which, as you can see in the clip above, she seemed shocked about. We don't know who the hell Ray-Ray is, but we do know that we will never get sick of hearing her publicly refer to her husband Blake as "incarcerated." It just sounds better with her British accent.

Are Women With "Issues" Treated As Sensitively As Men?

dodai — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:00:00 EST

This just in: Eva Mendes is the latest lady rehab. (Hmm, she was "hanging out" with Joaquin Phoenix for a while.) Does this mean she'll be even more of a paparazzi target? Beverly Hills psychotherapist Rebecca Roy says that troubled young female stars are treated more harshly by the public and media than their male counterparts. "Heath Ledger's death is being treated with kid gloves, for instance, yet Britney Spears is afforded no privacy at all in dealing with her issues," Ms. Roy notes. She says that women don't get the respect men get: See Owen Wilson, who reportedly attempted suicide last year. "Not only do the women have to deal with an impossibly high body image standard, but they are savagely attacked when they don't meet expectations on that front." Robert Downey Jr., Colin Farrell, Jesse Metcalfe, Joaquin Phoenix and Jonathan Rhys Meyers all went to rehab with a lot less fanfare than Lindsay Lohan or Amy Winehouse. Sure, Joaquin was never photographed on the beach wearing a bikini and a alcohol-monitoring anklet — but he was never pursued, hounded or relentlessly photographed the way Lindsay is. More »

Any member of Generation X is familiar with the no-nonsense Dr. Drew Pinsky, beloved host of "Loveline." Well, Dr. Drew has a new show, VH1's Celebrity Rehab on which he works with a bunch of D-list (and that's being generous) celebs to help them overcome their addictions. Though there's a uncomfortable, voyeuristic aspect seeing someone at their worst — going through withdrawal, emotionally fragile, desperate to be saved — based on the show's promos, Dr. Drew does seem to prove his psychiatric cred on the show. And though the television reviewers can't decide whether Celebrity Rehab, which premieres tonight, is a show to feel good or feel bad about, they're pretty sure we'll all be addicted once we start watching. The critics speak, after the jump. More »

Miss France Feels Heat; Miss USA The Next James Frey

Jennifer — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:00:00 EST

Pageant contestants never cease to be reliable sources of diva debauchery/ inevitable redemption. The latest tale of beauty queens gone wild comes courtesy of Miss France, 22-year old Valerie Begue. Having just won her title three weeks ago, Begue is battling criticism following the release of the inevitable "sexy" photos making their way around the Internets. (One photo, oddly enough, features Begue "licking what appeared to be yogurt or evaporated milk." Shades of Miss New Jersey!) Perhaps she could use some advice from former Miss USA Tara Conner? Conner, who, in 2006, was caught doing lines and chugging 40's like it was nobody's business and given a "second chance" by Miss USA pageant-owner Trump, has just signed a lucrative book deal for a memoir on her time in rehab, she announced this morning.

Amy Winehouse: Tabloid Victim Or Carefully-Curated "Trainwreck"?

Jessica — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 09:30:00 EST

Singer Amy Winehouse is many things: gifted, destructive, depressive, dickmatized...but one thing she's not is inauthentic. In today's Salon, Winehouse is accused of blatant fakery by novelist James Hannaham. "She may be a tragic talent," writes Hannaham, "but she's also playing the part of the tragic talent." Hannaham reasons that Amy is attempting to become a legend by not only singing the blues, but living them — and that her entire persona has been self-constructed with "legend" status in mind. "Winehouse might really be Sarah Silverman in water-soluble tattoos, wacky eyeliner and a ratty hair-don't having another tasteless joke at our expense," he adds. (Hey, he's not the only one to notice the Winehouse/Silverman resemblance?) More »

Being A Fresh-From-Rehab Mean Girl Is Awesome!

Jennifer — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 18:00:00 EST

How did you spend your time in high school? Editing the school paper? Drama club? Smoking behind Waffle House? These days, girls are being encouraged to partake in sex, drugs and lying through a new cell phone game called "Coolest Girl in School," which is all the rage in Australia. How does one become the coolest girl? Just "lie, bitch and flirt your way to the top of the high school ladder." All you have to do is "experiment with drugs, alcohol and smoking, skip school, spread rumours, bully" and have unprotected sex. Fun! Parents and educators are freaking the fuck out, naturally, that a game being marketed specifically at girls that encourages them to, uh, make bad choices. But the game's creator, Holly Martin, says the game is actually good for girls. More »

Celebrity Rehab: The Only "Promise" Is Lindsay Will Remain A Coke-Addled Lush Who Can't Drive

Moe — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 16:00:25 EDT

Call me naive; I always figured that, profligacy/paparazzi/presence of other addicted photogenic celebs aside, Lindsay was on balance better off in rehab than at, you know, Hyde. Really, what was I thinking? There is no crop of people more price-insensitive than a bunch of people used to watching a few grand disappear inside their nostrils every day, which is why the sliding scale for rehab in Malibu ranges from the ghetto no-frills cost of $15,000 a month to practically 70 grand a month at Passages, and not that I really give a shit about the exploitation and mistreatment of celebrities but I would like a little variety in my TMZ news cycle and today's LA Times investigation into Promises etc. actually managed to piss me off: there aren't even any fucking doctors working at these places!

We think she'd have made it to the final, but been booted off early on for having no soul. Much like Taylor Hicks. Oh, wait a minute..... More »
