(AP) – Pat O’Brien has “entered a rehabilitation facility for treatment,” says a statement from his celebrity news show, “The Insider.” “O’Brien and his doctors felt this is the best course for maintaining his sobriety,” said the statement. The statement then stated that “there will be no further statement.”

O’Brien, who spent 20 years covering sports for CBS before landing in GossipLand, has long struggled with alcohol abuse. In March 2005, he entered rehab after a string of sexually explicit voice mails he left for an unidentified woman hit the airwaves.
