It’s Tuesday, which means new movies come out on DVD, and another celebrity enters rehab.
This time around it’s 52-year-old actress Melanie Griffith. Having battled both drugs and alcohol in the past, this will be Melanie’s third trip to rehab since 1998.
Melanie Griffith’s people are insisting that this trip is more “reinforcement” than “treatment.” Whatever the hell that’s supposed to mean.
“She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy,” says her rep Robin Baum. “This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago.”
Of course, others close to the star are saying Melanie Griffith has been hittin’ the bottle hard lately and her uber-sexy husband Antonio Banderas is none too pleased about it. Banderas allegedly gave Griffith the ultimatum to get clean or he’ll divorce her.
One insider says Melanie Griffith is “working with the counselors on getting control of her demons. The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober.”
Another source told Star magazine, “Melanie’s struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet.”
Best wishes for Melanie Griffith and her stay at rehab – I hope it really sticks this time.

She is probably on the bottle again because of her husband’s cheating ways.

Antonio has been cheating on her? With who?
