Bobby Brown in Rehab
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drunk, Rumors,
The 43-year-old singer - who was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in March - is receiving treatment for addiction problems and his wife Alicia Etheredge says he is doing well. Confirming he has gone to rehab, she added to RadarOnline.com, "He's doing great."
Alicia - who married the New Edition star two months ago - refused to say exactly what Bobby is being treated for, but sources told the gossip website he is seeking help for alcohol addiction. It is unclear where the star is receiving treatment.
The news comes after the "Two Can Play That Game" hitmaker recently insisted he didn't introduce ex-wife Whitney Houston - who died in February after suffering a heart attack partly brought on by her cocaine abuse - to drugs and felt "hurt" by such claims as he has been sober for a long time.

The 20-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore was charged with two misdemeanors on Tuesday after being arrested for allegedly drinking beer at New York's Union Square on Monday and giving officers a fake ID, but she doesn't want to end up with a criminal record over the incident.
Explaining why she won't be pleading guilty, Scout's lawyer Stacey Richman told People.com, "It would be outrageous to mar a person that's clearly going places - clearly seeking to have a career... with a criminal record. The goal is clearly a non-criminal offer."
The lawyer went on to describe the student as "clearly intelligent" and "devoted to her studies" and branded the arrest "ridiculous."

Justin Bieber won't get drunk because he likes being in control. The 18-year-old singer admits he has experimented with alcohol but would never drink to excess.
"For me, it's like I like to be in control of myself. I mean, I've had a beer, like, before... But I never get out of control," he said.
Justin's manager, Scooter Braun, believes the "Boyfriend" hitmaker's caution stems from his desire not to damage his career. Talking about the star's remarks, he told GQ, "He knows that I hold him to a high standard... He doesn't want to blow it."
Justin - who is dating Selena Gomez - also admitted he struggles to trust people after having bad experiences in the past: "I mean, I keep my guard up a lot, because you know, you can't trust anyone in this business. That's what's sad. You can't trust anybody. I learned the hard way."

Bobby Brown will not face any additional jail time for his arrest for Driving under the Influence (DUI) last month.
The singer was initially arrested in March after police noticed he was driving while on his cell phone in California's San Fernando Valley, but after pleading no contest to one count of driving with a blood alcohol content of more than 0.08, prosecutors have dropped the charge.
He has instead been sentenced to 36 months of summary probation and one day in a county jail - which he has already served. In addition, he must complete a 90-day alcohol course.
Bobby blew 0.12 during the sobriety test and in California that is considered legally drunk. Speaking after his arrest, his attorney Tiffany E. Feder claimed he was taking the situation "seriously."
"Everyone is innocent until proven guilty and Mr. Brown was not driving erratically. He was speaking on his cell phone. Mr. Brown has not been convicted of anything associated with this incident. Mr. Brown is taking this matter seriously and an investigation is underway. The legal process shall run its course," he said.

With Lindsay Lohan looking like she is finally getting her life back on track, it looks like another former child star is aiming to fill in for the troubled starlet's place...
Amanda Bynes, who rose to fame on Nickelodeon's teenage Saturday Night Live show All That and later starred in her own comedy sketch series on the network, was arrested at 3 a.m. on Friday in West Hollywood under suspicion of drunk driving.
The 26 year-old, who recently announced her retirement two years ago, was pulled over as she attempted to pass a police vehicle and sideswiped it -- the officers then deemed her unfit to drive. Sporting pink hair in her mugshot, the Easy A actress was released on $5,000 bail.
This isn't the first time Bynes has had a run-in with the police this year: on March 7, she was pulled over for driving while on her cell phone and quickly fled before the police officer finished writing up her ticket.

Charlie Sheen Admits Last Year Was ‘Cringeable’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Drunk, Rants, Where Are They Now?,
Charlie Sheen doesn't "recognize parts" of himself when he looks back on his "cringeable" behavior last year.
The 46-year-old actor - who suffered drug and alcohol problems in 2011 before being axed from Two and a Half Men after launching a number of rants at creator Chuck Lorre - has apologized to the American public for his actions last year, and he has compared his wild behavior to having an out-of-body experience: "I didn't recognize parts of who that guy was. I just wish it was somebody else's body. You say it's been a year - it's either been a day, or a hundred years. I guess the plan was to reintroduce myself to America and to the media and say, 'Sorry about that, but here's what's happening now.'"
