Earlier today TMZ broke the news that Whitney Houston had checked herself in to an out-patient rehabilitation program but sources close to the singer said it wasn’t for drugs or alcohol. But now it’s been confirmed that it is indeed for drugs.
Whitney entered the program at her own will about 10 days ago to help battle her ongoing trouble with alcohol and drugs, a rep for the singer confirms it telling People:
“Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment, Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process.”
In the out-patient program Whitney is allowed out in public as long as she wears a montior on her. A source also said that part of the reason she entered this program is to help “cleanse” herself for a new movie.
I actually forgot all about Seann William Scott that was until I read that he checked himself into a treatment facility last night, his rep says it’s for “health and personal issues.”
“Seann William Scott has voluntarily admitted himself for proactive treatment to address health and personal issues. He appreciates the support of his many fans at this time.”
It’s unknown what exactly his personal issues are, it could basically be anything. But I find it strange that his rep released a statement for his “many” fans, let’s be honest if it wasn’t for this rep nobody would notice that he was in a facility. Either way I hope he gets bet the treatment he needs.
Lindsay Lohan’s estranged father, Michael Lohan, has revealed his next goal in life–to open a faith-based rehab center. The publicity-loving Lohan tells UsMagazine.com that he moved from New York to Los Angeles specifically to start to this new venture.
“After seeing what my daughter, myself and other people I know have been through, it has led me to realize this is my calling and purpose in life,” he told UsMagazine. Lohan has struggled with both drug and alcohol addictions. He also was very outspoken about wanting his oldest daughter Lindsay to seek treatment during her legal troubles over the past few months.
Lohan says the rehab center won’t have doctors or medical treatment; instead it will be a “rehab that focuses on mind, body and soul. It is a spiritual retreat.” He goes on to explain there is no religious affiliation with the center, though “the basis of the rehab will be that there is a God; that good conquers evil; that the best way to live is to treat others like you want to be treated; and treat your body like a temple.”
A site for the rehab center hasn’t been found yet, but Lohan claims they’re getting close to getting if off the ground. “We’ve got the team in place, and the financing is all there,” he said.
Lohan is also quick to point out the center will be available to everyone, not just the rich and famous. “I’m not going to close my doors on anyone. We may offer a scholarship [to those in need],” he explains. “You don’t have to be Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie or Robert Downey Jr. or a celebrity to get rehab.”
“All of the things that have happened to me in my life have led to this. I know this is what God wants me to do first and foremost,” he concludes.
