Burt Reynolds has entered a rehab treatment center for prescription drugs.

His manager stated:

“After a recent back surgery, Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell and after a while, realized he was a prisoner of prescription pain pills. He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life. Mr. Reynolds hopes his story will help others in a similar situation. He hopes they will not try to solve the problem by themselves, but realize that sometimes it is too tough to do on their own and they should seek help, as he did.”

Damn, Burt is 73 already. With all that plastic surgery I tend to forget. He doesn’t look like a typical 73-year-old, but then again, when you have had that much surgery it’s hard to gauge your age at all. If I didn’t know him, I probably couldn’t tell if Burt was 53 or 73. Honestly. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how his prescription drug habit started. He’s had an awful lot of surgery..

Michael Beasley’s tattoos were just one of the many warning signs that something was not right with him.

The Miami Heat star took to his Twitter (@GorillaBeas) in recent days leaving messages about unhappy he has been.

“Feelin like it’s not worth livin!!!!!!!”

“I Feel like the whole world is against me I can’t win for losin.”

The tweets have since been deleted, but one thing that is lingering is the photo of Beasley’s new tattoos that are sprawled across his back. Yes, he is “Super Cool.”

But it also appears that Beasley forgot to make sure no drug baggies made it into the pic. The lower right corner shows what are possibly drug paraphernalia bags.

And yeah, he entered rehab this morning. He is reportedly being treated for depression and drug problems at a Houton rehabilitation center.

Melanie Griffith is currently in rehab

Melanie Griffith, 52, has checked into a rehab center for treatment of a drug addiction.

Her publicist, Robin Baum, confirmed reports that Griffith is seeking treatment at the Cirque Lodge in Utah, a popular rehab center for the rich and famous.

Baum eluded to the fact that this stint (one of many over the years for Melanie) is part of an ongoing treatment plan by her doctors. However, I find it odd that checking into a rehab clinic would be part of a “maintenance plan”, so I call B.S.

She says: “She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago.”

Of course she is going to say that. That is her job, damage control. Not that I blame Melanie for wanting us to think that she is simply going in for her 60,000 mile overhaul. She’s probably embarrassed by her addiction being so out in the open.

Nine years ago Griffith admitted to having a prescription drug problem, she says that stemmed from a neck injury. Funny how everyone says their drug problem is “prescription drugs”, ALWAYS caused by some sort of ghost injury. 75% of Hollywood are raging blow whores but you never hear anyone say they are going to rehab for cocaine. And no, I’m not hinting that Melanie is a cokehead (even though I am pretty sure she did her fair share back in the day) I’m just sayin’…

Painkillers and muscle relaxers are served in candy dishes among Tinseltown’s elite. And everyone has a doctor they know will write them a script. So it’s really no surprise that so many people (like Anna Nicole Smith) get hooked on them.

I do wish Mel the best and hope she kicks her habit…whatever it may be.

Amy Winehouse’s hubby was released from jail earlier today after serving 12 months behind bars.

But Blake Incarcerated didn’t go home to his wife, he headed straight for rehab, as part of his release agreement. In fact, Amy didn’t even greet her husband, she opted to stay home instead.

Daily Mail reports that Blake had a chipped tooth (aren’t they all chipped/rotted?) and fresh red scratches down his arms, but was all smiles.

Meanwhile, paparazzi took these lovely photos of Amy, and it makes me wonder if they have a stick and poke her with it like a wild animal.

She always looks like they are taunting her, just to get a shot. Then they call her crazy because she reacts like that, and everyone buys it, because hey, it’s Amy Winehouse.

I could be wrong though. Maybe she is just crazy. Crazy and crack don’t go so well together..

David Duchovny and wife Téa Leoni were spotted at the Czech Street Festival 2008 in NYC Saturday looking rather chummy.

Téa is even smiling! Maybe it’s because she just took a big chomp out of a sandwich that has David’s nuts in it..

Shia LaBeouf may be headed to rehab soon, an effort to reduce or beat his drunk driving charges.

LaBeouf, 22, crushed his hand in the accident and required surgery. He was released from the hospital last weekend and has been told he should do the rehab thing in order to help his case.  But not because he is a drunk or anything..

He is due in court later this month.

Artie Lange, sidekick on the Howard Stern Show, has checked into intensive outpatient rehab for substance abuse.

Lange, 40, has struggled with narcotic addiction for years and has been to rehab many times before.

It seems he’s back to his old ways.

Last April he walked off the air after having an physical altercation with an assistant and it was thought he may have been using again.

Artie has been very open about his drug use, telling listeners story after story about being drunk to snorting cocaine and heroin.

I hope the guy gets clean, because yeah, he’s funny. But he’s also a fat f***ing loser. His mom still cleans his apartment and brings him food..

He’s just lucky enough to have Howard there to deal with his shit, because not many other employers would put up with him. He’ll eventually end up a nobody, a washed up old comic. Then maybe he’ll realize how good he had it.

“Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drewâ€? is coming back for a second season on VH1 and is set to premiere in October.

The show will pretty much be the same with a few minor adjustments.

Jeff Conaway will be back seeking treatment after having back surgeries causing him to become reliant on pain meds. Other quasi-celebs looking to clean-up are Sean Stewart, Amber Smith (model/actress), Rodney King, Nikki McKibbon (American Idol), Steven Adler (Guns n Roses) and Tawny Kitaen.

Gary Busey, who claims to have been clean for the past 13 years will also be a part of the show, offering support and sharing his experiences with addiction. Drug counselor Bob Forrest and resident technician Shelly Sprague will also return to be a part of the show this season.

Patients will undergo an intensive 21-day program. Families of the celebs will be more involved this time around and sometimes will undergo treatment themselves.

Blind item from today’s NY Post:

Which actress went into rehab only after she suffered a miscarriage? She was on a four-day cocaine bender when she lost the baby she didn’t even know she was carrying .

Yikes Eva, FOUR days? That’s pretty major. Just goes to show that [almost] everyone is Hollywood is a coke-head.  Even the squeaky clean ones.

“I want to collaborate with Amy because she’s really hot and cool right now. I know one song, “Rehab,” was very popular, particularly because a lot of young people are in rehab. In fact, I’m thinking about going. It looks like loads of fun and I know my career will benefit from it.”

What can I say, I love this girl. I love her big-ass hair, her awkward shimmy, her rough sultry voice, I just love her.

Just imagine how much better she’d be without all the smack and that loser stank breath husband. Hopefully she has gotten rid of one of the two. And the second problem might just take care of itself…
