Newlywed Eddie Van Halen barely resembles the person he was a couple of years ago. The last time we saw him he looked homeless – dirty stringy hair, rotten teeth, nasty clothes, and beat up shoes that flapped because they were so worn the soles detached. It’s amazing what giving up alcohol can do for a person! Eddie married his girlfriend Janie Liszewski last month (no alcohol at the reception) and his 50 pounds thinner exwife Valerie Bertinelli was at the wedding. Both Eddie and Valerie have given up their vices and improved their lives.

This A List Hollywood star had had public battles with drug abuse. He seems to have put it all behind him and settled into a successful career and happy home life. What his wife doesn’t know is that he has started quietly smoking pot with his teenage son and his son’s buddies. (The scene reminds of Ryan O’Neal’s early indiscretions with his kids.) The actor doesn’t see any harm in it, but friends who know are worried.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS: REHAB? NOT ME!

He’s perplexing. “Tudors” star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested for public drunkenness and breach of the peace at the Dublin airport, so no one was surprised in February when he supposedly went off to rehab. Now he tells us he DIDN’T really go to rehab – he made up that story because he needed time off- especially from award shows. (Can’t blame him – those award shows can be a nuisance.) But he allows that he did see “a counselor” for some reason. He looks rather healthy and sexy here as he walks out of Katsuya in Hollywood.

LANE GARRISON: CAN HOLLYWOOD FORGIVE AND FORGET?

Lane Garrison, looking paler and thinner, is out of prison and on his way to rehab where he will be locked up for another six months. In 2007 Lane was sentenced to 3 years and four months in prison for a drunk driving accident that left one boy dead and two teen girls injured. While he was incarcerated, Lane took college courses, studying Spanish and business, and he was a model of good behavior. After rehab, he’ll be on probation for four years. Will Lane, who ironically appeared on “Prison Break,” still have a career in Hollywood?

STEVEN ADLER SAVORS HIS LAST DAYS OF FREEDOM

Looking high as a kite, Celebrity Rehab’s failed participant Steven Adler seemed very happy to be taking a stroll on Robertson Blvd over the weekend. It might be his last walk for a while. The former Guns n Roses drummer has been ordered by an LA judge to check back into rehab by Monday February 9, at the latest. And this rehab isn’t televised. Will he cooperate, or end up back in court?

This celebrity made quite an impact on Celebrity Rehab. He was a real challenge for Dr Drew. He and his girlfriend were at a celebrity event when they happened to meet a man and his wife who were huge fans of the rehabbed performer. The couples started chatting and our rehab guy was so flattered that he invited the pair over for dinner. When the admiring couple arrived at the celebrity’s house they were startled to see large nude photos of the girlfriend hanging on the walls. The “rehabber” offered the visitors wine and an array of pills! The guests were horrified but before they could leave the celebrity invited them to strip down for a “sexy swing session.” The frightened pair ran off without getting a chance to tell the celebrity that the woman was an ordained minister!

AMY WINEHOUSE IS NOT READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP

Uh oh! Blaaake got out of jail today and Amy’s looking like a mess! Luckily, he went straight to rehab with no stops at home. Coincidentally, Amy happened to be leaving a drug and alcohol center at the same time Blake was on his way to one – we’re hoping she heads straight to a beauty salon. It’s a bit terrifying to think that these two will soon be on the streets together.

DAVID DUCHOVNY LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG

Did anyone else notice that David Duchovny has been looking a bit thrashed and rough around the edges lately? Like he’s been sleeping in his car, or something. His recent abrupt announcement that he’s checking into sex rehab indicates one of two things: First, his wife Tea Leoni caught him red-handed cheating, and his claiming that he has a “treatable disorder” might get him off the hook. (We suspect she doesn’t really want a divorce.) The second possibility is that someone he cheated WITH sold her story to the National Enquirer and it’s about to come out. Those are the only reasons we can think of that would cause an actor to publicly announce that he has a compulsive sexual disorder. We hope his marriage survives.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR CHECKED OUT OF REHAB EARLY

Filed Under: Addiction > Booze > Denial > Drugs > Heather Locklear > Rehab

To be honest, sweet little Heather Locklear is one of the last people we ever expected to land in rehab. But since her divorce from Richie Sambora her personal problems have escalated. According to the Enquirer, Heather didn’t deliver herself to rehab to treat her “depression and anxiety” – she actually needed help with her addictions to alcohol, cocaine, and sleeping pills. On June 19 she checked into the Sierra Tucson clinic for treatment, but like Amy Winehouse , she checked OUT way too soon – on July 4! Her publicist says she’s still in treatment somewhere – we hope it’s true.

ROLLING STONE RONNIE WOOD ON A BOOZE BINGE WITH RUSSIAN TEENAGER

Filed Under: Booze > Rehab > Ron Wood > The Rolling Stones

Rolling Stone and admitted alcoholic Ronnie Wood, 62, has fallen off the wagon in a BIG way. He’s moved an 18 year old Russian cocktail waitress that he met at an “escort bar” into his house in Ireland. Ronnie’s long suffering wife of 23 years, Jo, (above left) and their four children are living in his home in England. Ronnie met Ekaterina Ivanova (above right) three months ago after the London premier of his movie “Shine a Light” and they’ve been on a drinking binge together ever since. Wood has been to rehab half a dozen times – once he was carted off after he was found inebriated under a restaurant table, biting peoples ankles. His publicist admits he’s downing three bottles of vodka a day with his teenage companion. Ronnie loves to party – he once said “I don’t want to end up being a bore like Eric Clapton.“

DAVID HASSELHOFF MAKE AS PIT STOP AT CEDARS- SINAI

Filed Under: Cedars-Sinai > Celebs in Rehab > David Hasselhoff > Rehab

David Hasselhoff popped into Cedars- Sinai Medical Center for yet another overnight detox on February 7! According to the Enquirer, David, who is appearing on the new Knight Rider MOW, is in the habit of indulging in excessive drinking binges that land him in the emergency room with alcohol poisoning. He gets treatment and stays overnight. The next day he walks out, feeling better. Sometimes, straight to another bar! He did this hospital routine twice in 48 hours last December. The Hoff refers to these hospital mini-rehab visits as “pit stops.” He also has the most aggressive lawyers in Hollywood so if this item abruptly disappears, you’ll know why!

WHAT EXACTLY DID DELTA BURKE HOARD?

Filed Under: Delta Burke > Hoarding > Rehab

When TMZ’s story about Delta Burke seeking psychiatric help for her hoarding problem came out, we just HAD to find out what Delta has stuffed into those 27 or 30 storage units she has. We pondered; wardrobe items from Designing Women that are too small and out of style? (We pictured rack after rack of Suzanne’s polka dot power suits.) Or did Delta collect box after box of old business papers and mail that she can’t bear to toss? Neither, it turns out. Mostly, Delta collects furniture- she can’t resist English and French period antiques. Plus, of course tons of glassware and decorative items from the period. She also has two rooms full of porcelain dolls. It seems every time she moves to a new house she puts everything in storage and starts over. Ironically her California home is contemporary and the antiques are unsuitable! Delta admits she has bought the same thing TWICE because she couldn’t FIND the first one. Facing the task of sorting out all that stuff is enough to send anyone to the funny farm – we suggest she call Your Little Helper.

DOES LINDSAY LOHAN NEED SEX REHAB ALSO?

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan > Rehab > Riley Giles > Sex

While Lindsay Lohan was a Cirque Lodge rehab in Utah she managed to cut back on drugs and booze – only to concentrate on sex! She has at least two women outraged because she destroyed their relationships. In September the wife of fellow patient Tony Allen charged in divorce papers that Lindsay broke up their marriage. Now that Lindsay is declaring her love for another patient, Riley Giles, HIS exfiancee is outraged. Riley’s former fiancee Breanna Tierney told The Enquirer she had met Lohan at the Lodge, but “When Riley confessed he had sex with Lindsay in one of the stairwells at Cirque- we were DONE. Lindsay has no morals.” Breanna was also shocked to learn that her addicted ex had given her a fake diamond engagement ring. Lindsay, you can have him!

BRIGITTE NIELSEN MIGHT BE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT FLAVA FLAV

It looks like rehab did “Surreal Life” star Brigitte Nielsen some good. Her young Italian husband Mattia Dessi, pictured here, urged her to take the treatment and clean up her act. She resisted, but eventually spent several weeks at Cri Help in North Hollywood. Alcohol must have been very involved in her dalliance with Flava Flav, but eventually she came to her senses and married Mattia. Bosomy Brigitte and Mattia were seen having lunch at the Euro capital of LA, Café Med on Sunset Plaza.

WHY DOES OWEN WILSON REFUSE TO GO TO REHAB?

Filed Under: Owen Wilson > Rehab

Owen Wilson enjoyed a sunny day at Venice beach this week under the watchful eye of his brother Andrew. (His wrist scar is healing nicely.) Apparently his family members are afraid to leave him alone. They’re still trying to coax him into rehab but it’s funny how the people who need it most, refuse to cooperate. Unless a judge declares they have no choice.

IS LINDSAY LOHAN JUST ASKING FOR IT?

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan > Rehab

Michael Lohan had better hurry up and pay a quick visit to his daughter Lindsay at Cirque Lodge rehab in Utah, because her days there might be numbered. We’re surprised that they didn’t kick her out when she was accused of having sex with a male patient in the bathroom she was SUPPOSED to be cleaning. She’s not only shirking chores, but she supposedly tested positive for cocaine when given a surprise drug test. We wonder if the egotistical Lindsay remembers that her plea bargain hinged on COMPLETING rehab – if she doesn’t, she could face a looong jail sentence.

AMY WINEHOUSE: IS HER HUSBAND BLAKE TO BLAME FOR HER TERRIBLE CONDITION?

Filed Under: Amy Winehouse > Blake Fielder-Civil > Drugs > Rehab

(Above, Amy looks OK on her recent NY visit.)
Just as the world suspected - Amy Winehouse’s “exhaustion” was drug induced. A source told UK’s Sun that she was smoking heroin and doing ecstasy, cocaine, and a horse tranquilizer Ketamine, during the three day drug and booze binge that landed her in the hospital half dead. She did NOT go to rehab like her parents hoped, instead her family checked her into the Four Seasons Hotel to get her away from her druggie friends. Her father wants her to have minders 24 hours a day to keep her away from temptation. She’s having trouble eating and keeping food down. Her friends blame her husband Blake for her downfall – “he controls her like a puppet-master.” Amy told her mother she thinks she will die young.

LINDSAY LOHAN THINKS SHE'S SMARTER THAN HER REHAB COUNSELORS

Filed Under: Drugs > Lindsay Lohan > Rehab

Lindsay Lohan partied at Les Deux and ended up with pals at Mel’s Diner for a late night snack. She’s proudly flaunting that ankle bracelet that measures alcohol consumption, but we sense a trend here. Recently a lot of people with substance problems have been leaving rehab and denouncing either alcohol OR drugs but not both. They give up their most problematic habit but not the other. Just because Lindsay wears an anklet doesn’t mean she can’t pop or snort any drug (prescription or otherwise) that she wants. The anklet won’t tell. She’s hanging with the same fast club crowd – you do the math.

DOES LINDSAY LOHAN HAVE FROZEN ASSETS?

Filed Under: Lindsay Lohan > Rehab

We’re hearing that the reason Lindsay Lohan is being so cooperative about extending her rehab treatment is because she no longer has access to her money! So if she wanted to escape or buy drugs she can’t do it. Supposedly she was complaining to friends that she stays in touch with, that her assets are temporarily frozen. She can’t touch her savings or checking accounts or use credit cards. We don’t know if a judge or her family could do that, but she is under 21. If it’s true, it might be the best thing that ever happened to her.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS: GET A GRIP!

Filed Under: Barneys > Rehab > Robbie Williams

This is a man fresh out of rehab and Robbie Williams isn’t looking very relaxed. Shopping at Barneys never gave us wild eyes like that. And he practically BURST out the door because he was so desperate for a cigarette. Has Robbie rerouted his addictive personality to smoking and shopping?
