IS BRIGITTE NIELSEN ANGLING FOR A FREE RIDE TO CELEBRITY REHAB?

Sylvester Stallone’s amazonian exwife Brigitte Nielsen, 49, is one of the queens of reality TV, and right now she’s between shows. She appeared on Dr Drew’s Celebrity Rehab in 2008 and walked out appearing sober. Besides the US, Brigitte has done many shows in Europe including “Dancing With the Stars,” most recently winning “I’m a Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here!” in Germany in January. If her behavior in an LA park this week is any indication, she’s trying to get another rehab gig. The six foot Danish model was seen smoking and guzzling vodka out of a bottle, looking disoriented and staggering around a public park. No sign of her young Italian husband Mattie Dessi, with whom she was living in Palm Springs. Is this a ploy to land another Intervention or Rehab show? Or the real thing?

Nick Stahl Rehab Skid Row

NICK STAHL IS BACK IN REHAB – AND THIS TIME HE SAYS HE MEANS IT

#nickstahl #janetcharlton

We’ve been wondering if missing actor Nick Stahl would turn up alive or dead. His estranged wife Rose reported him missing in May. He was last seen downtown on Skid Row. The 32 year old actor ended up checking into rehab for drug and alcohol addiction at that time and contacted his wife. Not long after, he abruptly disappeared from rehab and his wife panicked again. After another binge, he checked BACK into rehab and he and his wife are reconciled. This time he promised to stick it out and repair his shattered life. According to Michael’s House, some studies show that drug rehab can be successful even for those participants who have no desire to be there at first. He and Rose have a two year old daughter. Rose optimistically tweeted the “reconciliation” photo above.

Alki David Andy Dick FilmOn Rehab

TWO WEEKS LATER ANDY DICK IS STILL IN REHAB!

We just HAD to know how Andy Dick is doing in rehab – after all he’s been there for TWO weeks and the first two are the most traumatic – when a lot of patients give up and check out. Happily, Andy is still at the Oasis treatment center and reportedly doing well. His on-air intervention was a big deal at FilmOn where he hosts his own talk show. Click here to watch FilmOn CEO Alki David surprise Andy in the middle of interviewing the actor who played Eddie Munster.

BY THE WAY, we are experimenting with a gossip show at FilmOn Live and you can watch us today at 3:30 LA time – just go to www.filmon.com and click on “LIVE” at the top and we should pop up!
(Above, Andy chats up Pauly Shore about doing a sequal to “In the Army Now”)

Cocaine Jersey Shore Rehab Steroids The Situation

WHEN HE GETS OUT OF REHAB, THE SITUATION DOESN’T WANT YOU JUDGING HIM

Jersey Shore’s Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is apparently in rehab but his reps insist he is merely “at an undisclosed location for rest and recuperation” due to his grueling schedule. The late Elizabeth Taylor is the only person we know of who would check into a hospital when she was tired. Insiders say Mike has a “too much nightlife” cocaine and sleeping pill problem which is exactly what we expected, and explains his odd behavior. (Could steroids be involved in this also?) He probably doesn’t want to admit it because people will be scrutinizing his indulgences when he gets out, but, hey, it IS good for the upcoming sixth season ratings!

Eddie Van Halen Music Rehab

EDDIE VAN HALEN CAN STILL PLAY GUITAR, BUT CAN HE STILL “JUMP?”

Wow, we wouldn’t have recognized Eddie Van Halen, 56, if we bumped right into him! He’s changed a lot, but he’s survived tongue cancer and rehab and he’s still making music so we have to give him credit. The last time we saw him perform a few years ago he looked like a bum with rotten teeth and his feet flapping out of his shoes. He’s cleaned up and above, he’s with his new wife Janie Liszewski leaving their hotel in New York.

Brooke Mueller Charlie Sheen Family Rehab

WHO DOES BROOKE MUELLER THINK SHE’S KIDDING?

Photo via: Daily Mail

Here we go again. Brooke Mueller wants us to believe that she checked into residential rehab “for as long as it takes” voluntarily. In fact she fully intended to continue the ruse of outpatient treatment at home but her family finally stepped up to the plate and told her they would have NOTHING further to do with her if she refused to check into an in-patient drug treatment center. Brooke depends on her mother to help care for her twins and she didn’t want Charlie to have full custody of the boys. After numerous drug arrests and well over a dozen rehab attempts, it remains to be seen whether Brooke will devote the nine months necessary for her rehabilitation. We doubt it.

Courteney Cox David Arquette Divorce Rehab

TIMING IS EVERYTHING: COURTENEY COX LET DAVID ARQUETTE DOWN EASY

We have to give Courteney Cox credit for handling her break-up with David Arquette with such sensitivity. She and David separated last year but she has yet to file for divorce. When they first split, David was despondent – he went kind of nuts partying and had an affair. Courteney talked him into checking into rehab and he completed treatment. After David left rehab he got a grip on himself and Courteney made sure he had access to their daughter Coco. She let him down gently. As Courteney hoped, time passed and David eventually found a girl he cares about (He’s seeing E.T. reporter Christina McLarty) and accepted the idea of divorce. Now they can have a civilized divorce with minimal hurt feelings – thanks to Courteney’s patience.

Alcohol Brother Madonna Rehab Skid Row

MADONNA DIDN’T TURN HER BACK ON HER ALCOHOLIC BROTHER

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

Madonna’s alcoholic brother who is living on the streets in Michigan gave an interview to the Daily Mail that’s quite revealing. Madonna, who is said to have a fortune of 650 million dollars, has not forsaken him. Anthony Ciccone, 55, admits that his sister Madonna, 53, has many times offered to pay for him to go to rehab and in fact, she sent him to a Houston clinic for two months but it “didn’t help.” He doesn’t want to stop drinking and feels rehab is not ALWAYS the answer. His alcoholism got him fired from the family winery 18 months ago and he’s been living as a vagrant on skid row with the crackheads ever since. His hard life is revealed in the fact that he looks SO much older than his sister.

Drugs Mugshot Prison Redmond O'Neal Rehab

REDMOND O’NEAL: THIS IS WHAT HEROIN DOES TO YOUR FACE

Redmond O’Neal just can’t get it right. The last judge he saw warned him that if he didn’t clean up in his current rehab, he’d be sent to state prison for his accumulated felonies. This week someone sneaked drugs to him in rehab and he flunked a drug test. He’s expected to be back in front of the judge this week and the outcome won’t be good. But nothing could be worse than his last mug shot. This sunken, aging face belongs to a privileged 26 year old kid with two good looking parents. Look what he’s done to himself.
