Nicole Kidman's husband and country star, Keith Urban has just entered rehab. Nicole was apparently by his side when he went in. People reports:
"I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me," Urban says in the statement. "One can never let one's guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have. With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome."
At least there was no Mel-gate fiasco. Let's hope Keith gets better soon.

Oh wow, that sucks. I agree Pop...at least he checked himself into rehab before he did something he would regret.
1I read this on People was waiting for it to hit here. I don't know why but this really makes me sad.
2Wow, to admit this publicly takes a lot of courage. I wish him all the best. And with Nicole by his side, I'm sure he'll get through it.
3i thought she had something in her prenup about drugs and alcohol. boy that didn't take him very long. glad to see she is sticking by him. but does this help her prenup?
4Is he getting treatment for coke again?
5I wish nothing for the best for he and Nicole. I agree, it's nice that he is being proactive and avoiding a Mel-like episode. Not everyone has to hit rock bottom before they seek help.
6They've been married for how long?
7Hope this doesn't turn into a quick marriage/quick divorce a la Zellwegger/Chesney.
Poor Nicole. Still, a drug addict who is actively seeking help is a world of improvement from a gay midget Scientologist.
8Audrey, you are correct:
June 23, 2006
9Page Six reports Nicole Kidman had Keith Urban sign a prenup earlier this month to make sure her $150 million is safe in case things go sour after their wedding tomorrow. The papers give Keith just over $600,000 a year for every year they're together and there's an additional clause that allows her to leave the marriage without giving anything to Keith - an ex-cocaine addict - if he uses illegal narcotics or drinks excessively.
I swear rene married kenny for publicity for kenny. I think he paid her big time.
10That must be a very hard moment for her.
11I think Kenny loves her. He doesn't need publicity.
12Good luck to them both.
Where did the renee/kenny talk come from? This is about nicole and keith.
13Keith loves her
14I wish them well. I really like NK alot, and I hope they get through this alright.
15It may be a clause in the prenup, but it's there IF Nicole wants to leave the marriage. Doesn't look like she does at this point in time.
16I don't think she wants to leave him right now...I'd be surprised if she did. But, how many people think that will be the reason why they divorce, which you know they will one day. She'll prob be real supportive this first time around.
17I was talking about Rene and Kenny because someone mentioned them up above.
18I hope they make it. NK is a sweetheart.
19What's he in rehab for? Bummer.
20was he an alcoholic before or into drugs?..i can't remember...
21Well, he was previously in rehab for cocaine I believe, but in this press release, the addiction was not named.
22ahh cocaine..that sounds right...
23I can honestly say that I feel really bad about this--and (for once) I'm not being snarky at all. KU seems like a decent, nice and talented guy and this seemed to be the real thing for him and NK. I wish him godspeed and the two of them strength!
24wow... i thought he had cleaned up his act... i absoluetely adore his music, I hope he gets the help he needs. I am happy she is sticking by him- for better or worse... I think NK truly loves him and believes in him... could this be what she said about "emotional cheating" like he is cheating on her with coke?
25She wouldn't leave a power hungry control freak poss gay scientologist.. Nic
26is a loyal girl.. she always stick by her man.. contract or no contract.
that stinks..i hope they make it! I wonder if she will stay because of what was in the pre-nup or just take off...he is really really cute!
27~*~Life was Simpler back then~*~
Oh, poor Nicole!
Hey, do you think that Tom Cruise will *personally* volunteer to help Kenny get off drugs, as he's claimed to do with other addicts in the past through Scientology teachings?
28Who is Kenny? Keith and Nicole.
29I got yelled at for pointing that out earlier.
30Nicole is dumber than I thought. Hey, if the guy was addicted to coke before marriage, can you trust him 100% to be always sober in the future? Geez, I'd imagine that being as beautiful and powerful as she is, she'd have an easier time picking men that are not only handsome, rich, fun and faithful, but also clean.
31I think TP made a error. She said Kenny. She must have
32been thinking about somebody else
If Nicole has to settle for a drug addict, this does not bode well for mere mortals.
33Wow, this is such a bummer. They just got married!
34He went in to rehab for alcohol abuse. However, many people close to KU have gone on record over the last year saying he had giving up drinking completely. I think she caught him doing something else she didn’t like and blackmailed him into going to rehab so she could file for divorce and not look like the bad guy.
It’s VERY fishy to me she goes to London to film, Rome for the film festival, then to Kosovo (all with out Keith) then a few days before she's supposed to meet Keith in Australia she shows up in TN to escort him to rehab? If he had enough planning for her to fly in to “be by his side” why didn’t anyone notify the band? They showed up and started preparing for Friday’s concert! Something isn’t right.
35Kenny is Kenny Chesney. Another country singer.
36Strange.... TinyTom/Nicole Kidman always have such drama and suspect issues with their lives. I don't trust her. Anyone who would be TinyToms beard for 10 years is always going to be suspect to me!!!
37just takes a good woman to show a man his life could be so much better.
38ha~
39not a surprise but too bad it happened. Hopefully he can get clean and get on with life. I feel sorry for her, but she did know what she was getting into..
40It's sad for them but good that he is getting help before he hits rock bottom.
41where did you go on your honeymoon?
42rehab. where did you go?
sad.
Looks like the pressure of being in an arranged marriage became too much for him...I hope he recovers soon.
43Audrey I read that too, that if he does drugs he will get nothing out of the marriage finanically and she will divorce him...it was one of the terms and conditions of the contract...I mean marriage.
Looks like this is a cry for help from Keith.
44My God!!!! what is with celebs and drugs every 5 min! They look all normal and decent when attending premieres then go home and get totally trashed and emerge the next day looking totally fine! WTF MAN???
45What a way to begin the marriage, surely there must be a rehab centre called 'celebrities anonymous'
46This is why people shouldn't date or marry someone with past drug issues. It always comes back up and bites them in the butt.
47Wow I totally didn't know. Glad he got himself in check. Hopefully he will be able to get thru this
