Chris Brown is being urged to stay in rehab for three months.
The "Fine China" singer checked into a treatment facility in Malibu, California, on Tuesday, just two days after being arrested for assault after allegedly breaking a man's nose outside a hotel in Washington D.C., and his management team want him to remain there until early next year.
"The rehab facility has been told to take him [Brown] apart and put him back together," a source said.
The 24-year-old star, who is still on probation for beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, is reportedly open to remaining in care so he can learn how to cope with his anger management issues and prove he is serious about overcoming them, as he has been warned by his lawyer, Mark Geragos, that he could be sentenced to up to four years behind bars if the judge decides he has violated his probation. "Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility. His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behaviour, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point," a spokesperson for the singer previously said.

Chris Brown has entered rehab.
The 24-year-old singer - who was arrested for assault after allegedly punching a man outside a hotel on Sunday - has decided to seek help following his recent troubles by checking into a treatment facility on Tuesday.
"Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility. His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point," Chris' representative told E! News.
The news comes just days after the "Forever" singer was arrested, along with his bodyguard, in Washington, DC, after reportedly hitting a man and making a homophobic slur in the early hours of Sunday morning. Chris reportedly punched the man, breaking his nose, when the unidenitified male and a friend attempted to insert themselves in a picture he was taking with two females. The star's lawyer insists he is not guilty.

Michael Lohan says Lindsay Lohan's friends shouldn't drink in front of her.
The troubled actress' father has warned her pals not to consume alcohol when they're out with Lindsay and is worried their influence might make the recovering alcoholic's sobriety resolution waver. Michael told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l section, "She's absolutely fine. She's always great, she's up early every day and I'm happy that she's sober. If [her friends] care about her, they won't drink in front of her."
Lindsay - who completed a 90-day court-ordered stint in rehab this summer - was followed by Oprah Winfrey's OWN network for an eight-part series about her life after treatment, which earned her a massive $2 million pay check. However, the 27-year-old star was spotted on a night out at Sing Sing Karaoke bar in New York City's East Village with some girlfriends - and a male model, thought to be rumored boy toy Liam Dean - on Monday. According to Confidenti@l, Lindsay tried to start a verbal fight and refused to leave at closing time, staying until nearly 6am. While Lindsay did not drink any alcohol herself, her friends finished an entire bottle of Jameson whiskey.

Amanda Bynes will be allowed out of rehab twice a week.
The 27-year-old actress was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in July after her wild behavior led to her allegedly being diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but she appears to be on the road to recovery as she will be given a pass for supervised outings every week.
"Amanda is being given two passes a week to go the beach, or out to eat and do things like that, accompanied by a professional handler. She is making great progress," a source told FOX411.
The Easy A star was moved to The Canyon treatment facility in Malibu at the end of September after spending two months at UCLA Medical Center and has reportedly been told she will "lead a long, normal life" as long as she continues to take her medication. Amanda's mother Lynn was granted a temporary conservatorship over her daughter in August, shortly after she was taken to a psychiatric unit by police officers, who arrested her after she struck up a small fire in the driveway of a stranger's home in Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles. Amanda's parents released a statement about her progress two months ago and said they were upbeat about her recovery.

Lea Michele has offered her support to Zac Efron following his recent rehab stint.
The Glee actress - whose boyfriend Cory Monteith died from a heroin and alcohol overdose in July - has reached out to her New Year's Eve co-star following revelations he has been battling cocaine addiction and has vowed to do her best to help him stay sober. "Lea called Zac and told him, 'I'm here if you need me.' She urged him to get serious about having a 24-hour sobriety coach and to only spend time with people who care about his welfare. Lea must feel sad that she wasn't able to prevent Cory from relapsing. She knows Zac well and would hate to see him go down the same path," a source said.
Zac was delighted to hear from his friend and has promised to stay in regular contact with her. "Zac was really glad to hear from her. They have plans to go on a yoga outing together in LA later this year and he promised to discuss his state of mind with her weekly by phone or email," the source added.

Khloe Kardashian reportedly staged an intervention for her husband on Wednesday, amid allegations he has a serious drug problem.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, 29, joined forces with several family members in a desperate bid to convince Los Angeles Clippers star Lamar Odom, 33, who was recently accused of cheating on her by two different women, to seek treatment in rehab but the meeting did not go as planned.
"Lamar has lost a ton of weight in the last few months which triggered a lot of the concern amongst the family. Lamar does not want to go to rehab because pre-season training camps are just around the corner. He just doesn't care about anyone or anything right now. He has had it with the Kardashians and just wants to be left alone. Everyone is very, very, worried about him," a source said.
Other sources confirmed to TMZ.com that the former LA Lakers star, who has been married to Khloe for four years, has had a problem with "hard-core recreational drugs" for two years and claim he secretly went to rehab in San Diego for three weeks in August 2012. His reality TV star wife is said to have hired a private investigator to make sure he didn't leave the facility.

Lindsay Lohan will move in with her mother after leaving rehab.
The 27-year-old actress is determined to clean up her act and wants to live with her mum Dina after completing her 90-days of court-ordered rehabilitation on July 31 - which she was forced to complete as part of a plea deal she struck to avoid jail after lying to police officers about driving in a car accident last year.
"She will definitely start back at home with all of us," Dina said.
The Mean Girls star spent her birthday on July 2 without her family and instead had a low-key celebration "with all the kids at rehab" at Cliffside rehab facility in Malibu. "We couldn't visit because it fell during the week but we mailed her cards and gifts. We're going to work it out to all go visit her again, and then we're planning a pool party," Dina insisted.

Brooke Mueller quit rehab because it was "too hard."
The former wife of Charlie Sheen checked in to the Betty Ford Clinic in California last month for her 21st rehab stint but left the facility recently because she was unhappy at being asked to do chores. "Brooke didn't tell anyone, including her lawyer, that she had left Betty Ford. Brooke hated Betty Ford because she was required to do daily chores, which she resented. She complained that Betty Ford was just too hard. Betty Ford is hardcore and Brooke just doesn't respond well in situations where she can't call the shots," a source said.
However, 35-year-old Brooke's decision to leave rehab could ruin her chances at regaining custody of her four-year-old twin sons Bob and Max, who are currently being looked after by Charlie's other ex-wife Denise Richards. "This could have a serious impact on Brooke's bid to get custody of the twins. Brooke just doesn't seem to be taking get sober that seriously. Her doctors at Betty Ford advised her not to leave, but she did anyway. Her therapists will be submitting an extensive report about Brooke's time at Betty Ford and it won't be glowing, that is for sure," the insider added.

Denise Richards has been raising Brooke Mueller's kids for over a year.
The 42-year-old actress was granted temporary legal guardian for her ex-husband Charlie Sheen and Brooke's twin sons, Bob and Max, when child protective services removed them from the socialite's home last month. However, it has now emerged Denise - who has two daughters, Lola, eight, and Sam, nine, with Charlie - has actually spent far more time with the four-year-old boys than Brooke herself over the last nine months, due to her struggles with drug addiction.
"'Initially, Brooke willingly placed the boys in Denise's care because she was going in and out of rehab, and using drugs. Child protective services has now asked Denise to give specific dates that she had been taking care of the twins, in advance of a big custody hearing in July. The boys have spent more time with Denise than with their own biological mother for the last nine months. The boys are a part of Denise's family, and they are extremely happy in her care," a source said.
