When did rehab and sex tapes become a trend? Is this the only way celebrities can get their names in the press now a days? According to sources at the New York Post, Jesse Metcalfe has checked himself in to an undisclosed rehab center for alcohol abuse this week, a rep for the star confirmed.
This decision was made the Monday after Metcalfe had a weekend-long binge at the Mondrian hotel in L.A., where sources reported he looked like he hadn't slept in days and was acting "very angry" and "out of control."
Now, Metcalfe's rep released the following statement: "On Monday, March 19, Jesse Metcalfe entered a rehab facility to deal with alcohol issues. He realized he had a problem and was anxious to deal with it immediately. The actor, best known as the hunky gardener on the ABC show 'Desperate Housewives' and the star of the film 'John Tucker Must Die,' hopes that the media will allow him the privacy to deal properly with his treatment."
We actually got word that he was going to rehab on Monday from a reliable source but decided not to post it until we got confirmation. We wish him well.
