Rehab

Eddie Van Halen has entered an undisclosed rehab clinic for undisclosed reasons. He issued this statement yesterday to TMZ:

I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen.

Love,
Ed

Eddie's rehab stint will most likely kill the planned Van Halen reunion tour which was already having problems. Eddie was due to join his former bandmates in New York on Monday for induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I really hope Eddie's at Promises, because Brit Brit needs a little Gollum dick. He totally looks like Gollum. Imagine him pounding over you...ok don't...that's enough to put you in Promises.

While Britney Spears apparently tried to hang herself in rehab after she scribbled "666" on herself, KFed was partying in Las Vegas. He had already scheduled an appearance at Revolution at The Mirage and showed up to fulfill his obligations while Britney's mom cared for SPF and JJ. He showed up shortly after midnight, drank, played a few of his song and left before 4am. Witnesses say he was on his best behavior. He also got the "Britney" do. It's pretty messed up that he's seriously looking like father of the year in all of this. Maybe this is all some decadent plan! You know Britney was sick of us thinking KFed was trash...so she decided to become the trashy one to make him look better. That way when they get back together, we'll think he's Prince Charming. Yeah, far fetched. Source

Britney Spears made another quick trip outside of Promises last night, but this time it wasn't to attend an AA meeting. She left last night around 7:30pm with a driver and two bodyguards and headed to her cousin's house in Culver City. She stuck around for about 20 minutes and emerged with a bag full of clothes from the boutique, Intuition. She promptly returned back to Promises. Bag of clothes? Yeah with a bottle of jack and a bag of weed hidden at the bottom. Source

KFed reportedly gave Britney Spears an ultimatium that sent her back to Promises in Malibu. After Britney checked out of rehab for the second time, KFed scheduled an emergency custody hearing for the next day. He told Britney that unless she checks back into rehab, he's going to court in the morning and asking for full custody of JJ and SPF. He has been taking care of his boys along with his mother and Brit's mother. Larry Rudolph said that contrary to reports Britney isn't getting any special treatment at Promises. There were reports that she had booked an entire wing so she would have privacy. He said, "She has a regular room, a regular routine. She is doing exceptionally well." In other KFed news, his ex, Shar Jackson, is denying that they have gotten back together. Um, was it even rumored that they got back together. Oh Shar can't stand someone else getting the attention, can she? Shar's rep aka her best girlfriend acting like her rep said, "Shar Jackson will continue to maintain the necessary relationship with Kevin that is in the best interest of raising their two children. This weekend Shar and Kevin visited together with the four children, and that this was the first time that all four children met. Any insinuation that she is involved with [Kevin and Britney's] problems or break up in any way is preposterous. She has always been supportive of Kevin’s choices, both publicly and privately. Shar refuses to be pulled into their relationship and will not comment further on any personal matters." I think I need rehab from Brit and ANS news. Seriously, I think we should all go and send the bill to H.Stern and B.Spears. Source, Source

Sources tell TMZ that it looks like Britney Spears real issues have little to do with substance abuse. She apparently is suffering from post-partum depression. Sources say the doctors there believe she is either fighting pp depression or bi-polar disorder. They believe she is using booze as a way to cope with her depression. She is reportedly reading Brooke Shields' book, "Down Came the Rain," where Brooke talks about her famous battle with post-partum depression. Brit is on a 30-day program at Promises in Malibu, CA. Who the hell is leaking her private medical records?! Damn, I'd be pissed. I'm sure she's depressed. I'd be depressed too if I was her. Hopefully she will get better, grow her hair back and move to some ranch in the south to never be heard from again! She's not built for fame. That shit isn't for wussies.

KFed made a stop to Promises in Malibu to visit Britney Spears while she tries to complete a 30-day program for some unknown disease, illness, whatever. KFed stayed about 90 minutes with her. Sources say that KFed is concerned for her and is taking care of their kids while she gets cleaned up. Brit has apparently dropped $48,000 for the 30-day program. I think she's on day 2! 28 more days to go! Don't worry, she's not living in a dump. Promises has a private chef, masseuses, 500-thread-count sheets, private rooms with a fireplace, views of the beach, personal trainer and no chores. Britney joins Ben Affleck, Charlie Sheen, Diana Ross and Matthew Perry in a list of celebs that have sought treatment there. He was just there to pick up her ATM card. No, he cares for her...I guess. Oh remember the days when she was just a young girl in a Von Dutch cap? Sigh. Source

Someone pulled together Britney Spears' Dateline interview and mixed it in with Amy Winehouse's "Rehab." It's pretty genius. Brit should cover it. She'd make a boat load and rehab is not cheap.

UPDATE - And in case you missed it. Here's the video of Britney losing her shit at the paps!

Thanks Marianne

Everyone keeps saying that Britney Spears is "sick" and "needs help" and is "lost." Please tell me of what?! I want to know the damn addiction or problem. I have a right to know and don't say I don't! She is bringing her crazy behavior to the public and we have a right to know! Her daddy, Jamie Spears, spoke out and said, "She is a sick little girl. ... We're just trying to take care of her." He wouldn't say what her issues were, but said that her issues are "not about what other people think." KFed's been taking care of the kids since Brit has been in and out of rehab. His attorney denied that they ever called an emergency custody hearing on Thursday as was reported. Now Jamie said her problems aren't what we think. Hmm...ok what has been reported? Meth? Booze? Coke? Twinkies? Red Bull? I give up. Maybe she's addicted to acting the fool in public. Yeah, that's the ticket. Source

Britney Spears is back in rehab for a third time in one week. The emergency custody hearing that was called by KFed today and has been cancelled due to Brit checking herself back in. The kids are currently with him and apparently he's giving her one more shot. If she doesn't complete the 30-day program, he will go back to court and ask for full custody of his kids. Here's hoping....third time's a charm! UPDATE - I guess she's back at Promises in Malibu! Her mother took her there last night. Source

ET is reporting that Britney Spears has left Promises in Malibu after checking in on Monday evening. Brit was photographed there yesterday, but sources say she checked herself out early this morning. Her manager Larry Rudolph issued this statement yesterday, "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time." What da hell?! Does she bolt when they tell her you can't drink booze or do drugs in rehab? Jesus! She needs to see it like a vacation. Ugh, she's totally hitting the dyke bars tonight to debut her new look. Someone stop this girl!
