Meltdowns are the new vag
All these past couple of weeks, I've been inundated with information (sought out or otherwise) about Hollywood types checking in and out of rehab. Apparently, publicity stunts are like fashion, everything is cyclical, and now we're well past the 'show the world your naughty bits' phase, and are right back to tried-and-tested rehab.
What bothers me more isn't that they're making the rounds of Betty Ford or whichever Fiji water facility is the flavour of the month. If you're messed up and get help, more power to ya. However, when you go, leave, go back, leave to party and binge out, go back, leave again, and its glamourized by all and sundry, what's to prevent an impressionable 14 year old to grow up thinking this is cool?
okay, now i'm pissed off at something, so i'm going to cut this short. bah.

You're so right, revolving-door-rehab is one more thing to imitate. Except it's not only 14 year-olds. Bleached Bombay Mama's too. We can go from conversations about "Who's your tarot card reader" and "My therapist said..." to "Must check out this new rehab place, every-one who's anyone's been there"
