Justin doesn't have a huge part in the song, but both of the superstars look smoking hot in the video. So watch it below and let us know: Rihanna ft. JT in "Rehab" - love it or leave it?

Lindsay Goes From Long Island To Utah Rehab

PopSugar — Sun, 05 Aug 2007 18:56:43 -0700

Lindsay supposedly turned up in Long Island this weekend according to the NY Post who claimed she was home with mom, grandma and her siblings. Dina made a short statement that said, "She's doing well." Now ET is reporting she is at the Cirque Lodge drug and alcohol rehab facility in Sundance, Utah. This was the same place MK and David Hasselhoff spent thousands to get better. Who knows where LL really is but we do know she is due back in court on August 24th to face her DUI charges. As always, stay tuned for the latest LL drama which we hope remains quiet assuming she is actually working on getting clean and healthy.

In the meantime, we're still staring at these Elle photos. Bella wants to know if you still turn to LL for hair and makeup cues.

Marc Jacobs Enters Rehab

PopSugar — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 12:36:03 -0700

Clearly rehab is the thing to do these days but when a celebrity is strong enough to realize they have a problem and seek help then we are all for it. One of our favorite designers, Marc Jacobs has headed to Arizona for a little rehab vacation. The designer has been sober for seven years but after his show in Paris a few weeks ago, he checked himself in for help. Fab has more details via WWD so click here to read more. We wish MJ the best and hope he sobers up fast since he's so successful when he is sober and we always want more MJ.

These Days, Even Trips to Vegas Work In K-Fed's Favor

Molly — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 17:01:00 -0800

As Britney works on her recovery in rehab, Kevin's stock has never been higher. As sad as it may be, and much to his publicists joy I assume, Kevin is getting more positive press than he ever could have imagined. Especially when just a few short months ago he was a pretty universally accepted joke. The most recent reports of his weekend in Vegas (he brought the kids! Awww!) read like a glowing character review. Still a little weird. Here's more:

Exhibit A: "Kevin was really low-key," one source says. "You could definitely tell he was on his best behavior. He was having a good time, but wasn't the wild, crazy Kevin who used to come to Vegas."
Exhibit B:He had dinner with friends and family at the hotel's Japonais restaurant, says a source, who adds: "He was late for dinner because he wanted to tuck his kids into bed."
Exhibit C:"He wakes up with a purpose each morning and has enjoyed his family being around him," says the source.

Kevin may, in fact, be this awesome father and family man that the newer reports make him out to be, it's just also interesting to watch how the media (ourselves included) sees him completely differently these days. Funny thing, that.

In other Britney news, some of you have asked why we never covered that ludicrous Suicide/Antichrist nonsense story, well, it's because we assume (and really hope) it's exactly that: ludicrous nonsense.

Brit Catches Up on Oprah's Book Club While in Rehab

Molly — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 09:00:23 -0800

Britney left rehab again last night to attend an off-site AA meeting. I still assume that there are meetings offered at Promises, but perhaps she is looking for one she is comfortable attending once she is done with her 30 day program. Like Wednesday night, though, dark-wigged Britney seemed in excellent spirits while on her way to the meetings. This time she was caught reading a book while being shuttled to and from her destination. Is it just me or does that look suspiciously like it might be A Million Little Pieces. While that tome is inspiring and all, one would hope she knows that it's not an 100% true story. Brit also showed off that she's been doing some online shopping while in the 'hab by holding up her Shop Intuition bags for the cameras. Hey, rehab or not, a girl's gotta shop.

Britney's Final Pre-Rehab Afternoon of Sun Bathing

Molly — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:54:54 -0800

While Britney's life seems to have finally calmed down a bit -- she is safely in rehab, her kids are under the care of Kevin and Brit's mom, all of whom have been to visit Britney and show their support -- reports of what was going on before her final breakdown are starting to surface. Rumor had it that the Saturday following Britney's late night hair cutting adventure was pretty insane, including a sloppy afternoon at the Mondrian hotel. Some of the hotel guests who interacted with Britney that day have come forward (ooooor were finally given the right price) with their story and photos (BTW, Say what you will about how Brit looks these days, but girlfriend knows how to pose right). Us Weekly Reports:

Bright and early on February 17, a newly bald Spears arrived at L.A.'s chic Mondrian hotel, ready to catch some rays. But the star was denied a room due to lack of credit cards or cash.

By 11 a.m., an undeterred Spears, 25, had stripped down to a bra and panties poolside, then shaved her legs in the pool bathroom.

“It was sad,” says a source. “It looked like she really needed a friend.”

She got two – at least for a few hours. Around noon, Spears (then in a blonde wig) began chatting up a woman in the bathroom, who offered to loan the pop star a bathing suit.*

Spears followed her new friend to her hotel room where -- after changing into a borrowed bikini -- she raided the minibar.

“She grabbed four or five bottles and just started mixing everything and drinking them.”

Well, I guess I can't be too hard on these "new friends" for selling Brit out because it's not like they were actually friends...and those mini bar tabs can sure add up quick. Meanwhile, it's still constantly amazing to feel like I'm actually interested in Kevin's side of the story. I said it once, I'll say it again -- he's looking like a freaking knight these days.

*Also, ew.

Brit's In Rehab: Third Time's A Charm?

Molly — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 08:48:12 -0800

Stop me if you've heard this one before...For the third time in one week, Britney Spears has checked herself into Rehab. This has to be some sort of record. According to TMZ, the emergency custody hearing Kevin was granted for today has been cancelled. Britney's father also spoke to Fox news, choosing not to get into specifics, describing Britney as "a sick little girl ... we're just trying to care of her." Also that Brit's problems are "not about what other people think." I think it goes without saying that we all hope for the best for Britney, and wish that she is finally able and, more importantly, willing to get the help that she so desperately needs.

Britney Out of Rehab Again??!

PopSugar — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 08:39:56 -0800

We were so happy to hear Brit checked herself into Promises yesterday to get the help she very much needs. But dare I say she did it again? Apparently she has already left the facility. ET is reporting that after less than 24 hours of checking in she has checked herself out. Details are still emerging on this one, but for now let's hope all it means is she's going to a more private place to get all the help she needs. In the meantime, she has plenty to read about herself this weekend as Britney has scored many cover stories. We just wish they were about her comeback instead of this sad news.

Britney Back In Rehab: Update

PopSugar — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 15:47:01 -0800

Yes, it has been confirmed that Britney has checked into Promises Treatment Center in Malibu. Apparently her father dropped her off at the posh rehab center where many celebrities have been treated like Ben Affleck, Matthew Perry and Mel Gibson. There is still a lot of speculation about an actual intervention and why oh why Ms Brit shaved off her hair. Extra TV is reporting that the buzz cut may be thanks to a big fight with Kevin where he claimed he was going to test her hair to see what kind of crap she was up to. People is reporting that Kevin is concerned for his soon to be ex-wife. We all are Kev, we all are. Fingers crossed that she will lay low and rest up while in Promises. Now that we've seen confirmation of Brit in the center, hopefully the paparazzi can leave her alone to recover.
