There's something we've missed since Lindsay Lohan got clean and left rehab, apart from all the shrieking and the cocaine-trousered DUI arrests, obviously.
And that's that Lindsay Lohan just doesn't give as many boneheaded magazine interviews that show a total absence of any self-awareness these days. But at least she knows about it, and she's trying to do something about it.
In her first post-rehab interview, Lindsay Lohan has said that most people thinks she doesn't know where her head is even though actually she does. Sigh. That's good crackpot Lindsay Lohan, but not great crackpot Lindsay Lohan.
One name that you wouldn't particularly expect to see on a rehab admission list is Eva Mendes.
That's because Eva Mendes has never crashed her car drunk, had public drug-addled razorblade fights with men about a prostitute or called anyone 'Sugartits' - all tell-tale signs of the rehab-bound.
But never mind that, because Eva Mendes has gone to rehab. And she's been there for several weeks. And she couldn't even be bothered to shave off all her hair in front of a swarm of paparazzi first. What a selfish bitch.
Wish you could make some money on the results of the Grammys next month? You're in luck. Wish you could make enough money to buy the Grammys and destroy them right in front of Steven Tyler's weeping face? Well, that'll be a little more difficult, but not impossible. Because this week we're letting you bet on the results of the Grammys Best Song category. Yes, all the nominees are universally awful, but this is to make you rich, not to stop you going deaf, OK? So here are the Grammys betting odds for Umbrella by Rihanna and Rehab by Amy Winehouse, with help from Paddy Power...
This celebrity rehab fad is getting way out of hand - now even actresses who we haven't seen or thought of for over a decade have decided to give it a whirl, too.
Yes, Sean Young, we're looking at you.
Sean Young - star of several films you're too young to remember - has decided to check herself into rehab after drunkenly heckling winners at this weekend's Directors Guild Of America awards until she was escorted out of the ceremony. That's the spirit.
They tried to make Amy Winehouse go to rehab, but she said n... oh, you've already heard that one. Never mind.
Anyway, thanks to the release of that video where Amy Winehouse appears to be inhaling every last atom of crack in the universe through a glass pipe after a mighty big drug binge, Amy's finally decided to get herself off to rehab for good.
True, Amy Winehouse does already have one unsuccessful rehab stint under her belt, but she's learnt her lesson with this rehab - this one's in central London and not on a private island, so she won't have to wait for a helicopter when she inevitably sacks it off and goes down the pub.
As Amy Winehouse knows, you haven't got a drug problem until a national newspaper films you tootling on a crack pipe.
But now that the whole wide world has seen her huffing crack like it was going out of fashion, it looks as if Amy Winehouse has reconsidered a spell at that rehab that they kept trying to make her go to.
Still, though, maybe Amy Winehouse will benefit from this - it's only through great suffering that great art emerges. Great art or embarrassing off-kilter wailing. We can never remember which one of those is right.
In jail, on drugs, pregnant and with a sex tape out grotty enough to turn even the most hardened sex-addict celibate, American Idol's Jessica Sierra doesn't have a whole lot going for her at the moment.
And it's got worse too. A judge yesterday ordered Jessica Sierra to spend a full year in rehab unless she wants to stay in jail for 11 years. According to a doctor appearing in court on her behalf, Jessica Sierra's addictions are serious enough to be life-threatening.
Although this order is enough to make sure that Jessica Sierra will give birth to her baby in a harshly-lit, unforgiving rehab centre, it's not all bad news - even though Jessica Sierra will have to live every single day of the next calender year in rehab, that's actually three times less rehab time than Lindsay Lohan spent over the course of 2007.
You just can't get rid of Marie Osmond at the moment - if she's not selling creepy china dolls on television shopping channels or passing out on live TV then she's telling the world that her son is in rehab.
During an appearance on Larry King, Marie Osmond confessed that her 16-year-old son Michael has entered rehab. Quite what Michael Osmond has gone to rehab for is another matter - an addiction to toothpaste, maybe, or smiling. Perhaps Michael Osmond doesn't have an addiction problem at all and just wanted to go to rehab to whistle sunny tunes at the nervous, jumpy, detoxing heroin addicts to help show them that life can be just as darned wonderful as heck if you keep a happy song in your heart. Or maybe Michael Osmond is hooked on hard drugs and alcohol. We just don't know.
