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

    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.

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.
