Nanu nanu: Robin Williams enters rehab
7:37 Thursday, August 10, 2006
Robin Williams' publicist Mara Buxbaum has confirmed that he has entered rehab for alcoholism after 20 years of sobriety. Williams, the star of the box office smash 'RV' (just kidding, I bet it was this movie that drove him to drink) is rumored to be at the Hazelden Springbrook rehab facility in Oregon.

Too bad for Robin! After 20 good, solid years of sobriety, he fell off the wagon. This just goes to show you just how hard show business really is. He fell off while making a movie. He was in a hotel room, thought he could have just one after 20 years, and drank the mini bar dry.Man, 20 years is a long time to go without. Imagine if that had been sex! OUCH!! Okay, it would have been a monastery!Well, let's hope he gets back to basics and back on the wagon.
Could that be the facility that was written about in the movie Thumbsucker?
His gift for comedy alone has healed many through laughter. I say people take a moment and ponder how their lives would be publicized if their every move were to be documented and judjed. Let's just return the favor of support to an imperfect person by remembering we too are all imperfect.
