As if it’s a surprise…

Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino has checked himself into “rehab” just as the sixth season of Jersey Shore, the hit MTV show was announced.

Sorrentino’s reps would not confirm reports that he entered for substance abuse issues or that he’s receiving treatment for anything, but said he has been at a facility for a few weeks.

“Michael Sorrentino has spent the past several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule,” his rep told TMZ.

Ah, the old exhaustion reason. Essentially he’s taking a long nap, someplace, somewhere… Uh huh.

A grinding schedule of GTL, drinking and nightclub and promotional appearances can really take a toll on a person…

Demi Moore has been in rehab on a little break at Cirque Lodge following her little episode in January, but it’s time for her to rejoin the real world.  Radar Online reports that she’s checked out of rehab, where she was being treated for an eating disorder and addiction to Adderall.

Don’t expect to see her around Hollywood any time soon, though.  She’s continuing her rest and relaxation while on vacation “in an undisclosed location.”    Hopefully she’s taking it easy and continuing to get well.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards has checked into rehab for alcohol abuse and “other problems” according to reports.

The 47 year-old reality show participant is at an undisclosed treatment facility working on her issues and it’s been revealed, this isn’t the first time she’s sought help.

“Kim has been to rehab more than once before,” a source tells People magazine, “but every time is a new time, and everyone just hopes this sticks and that she gets the help she needs. It’s serious.”

Adding to her problems, Kim may be homeless. Richards is no longer living with her boyfriend Ken, whom Kim was recently seen moving in with on the BRAVO show. She was staying with various friends before entering the rehab facility.

Richards erratic behavior was called out by her sister, Kyle Richards, on the finale of season 1 of the show.

After fighting with Kyle during a party, the two continued their argument in the back of a limo where Kyle screamed at Kim:

“You’re an alcoholic! Yeah, that’s right. I’ve said it and now everybody knows!”

This season, when Kim was slurring her words and appeared intoxicated during a trip with fellow housewife Adrienne Maloof and her husband Paul Nassif, she later confessed to taking multiple anti-anxiety and anti-seizure medications. Nassif cautioned Richards that the combination could be why it looked like she was drunk.

Still struggling with sobriety, Redmond O’Neal, son of the late Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal, was arrested in Santa Monica, California on Tuesday after being pulled over for a traffic violation and police found drugs in his car.

Redmond, 26, was stopped for making a left hand turn on a red light. The subsequent search of his car (which he consented to) turned up marijuana and heroin.

O’Neal was booked for the traffic violation, drug possession and parole violations. He is currently being held without bail while awaiting his next court appearance.

The troubled son of Fawcett and O’Neal has spent various lengths of time in and out of substance abuse programs and jails. He was arrested in 2009 for heroin possession while on probation for DUI and methamphetamine charges.

O’Neal was just days away from celebrating his one-year anniversary of sobriety after spending another stint in court-ordered rehab.

Entering a treatment facility for a third time, Matthew Perry is taking a precautionary step to keep his addictions in check.

The Mr. Sunshine star, 41, has chosen to enter rehab for ongoing recovery in his battle with prescription pills and alcohol substance abuse.

Catherine Zeta-Jones spent time in a treatment facility for Bipolar II disorder this year.

“After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder,” the rep told People magazine in a statement.

Unlike Bipolar disorder which the symptoms are more commonly known (manic mood swings with elevated, irrational and irritable highs for long stretches of time,) Bipolar II has longer depressive episodes with shorter and less intense upswings in behavior.

The actress has had one heck of a tension-filled year and needed to take care of herself and her mental health by seeking treatment.

Zeta-Jones husband, actor Michael Douglas, was diagnosed with throat cancer last year shortly after his son (her step son) Cameron Douglas was convicted and sent to prison for 5 years on drug related charges. Douglas was also sued by his ex-wife Diandra Douglas for half his earnings in the 2010 release Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

“She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films,” Zeta-Jones’ rep said.

The 41 year-old, who spent about 5 days at the undisclosed center, is starting work on the film Playing the Field with Gerard Butler and is set to star with Bruce Willis and Justin Timberlake in Lay the Favorite later this year.
