Dennis Rodman has checked into an undisclosed alcohol rehabilitation center to treat his long-time struggle with alcoholism, his agent says.

Darren Prince declined on Saturday to say which facility will treat Rodman and how long he will be there. Rodman recently returned to the United States from his latest trip to North Korea.

Anyone that is shocked by this needs to check in to rehab, too.

Unless the treatment center also does lobotomies and/or organic brain disorder treatment, Rodman will be back out the same as he went in.

A clear attempt at damage control. It means nothing. Rodman won’t take it seriously and it’s very likely he’ll never complete the treatment. The left will buy it though, just as they bought it when Mel Gibson did it.

They say that Kim “dung” whatzizface is a pretty mean drunk too. Just ask his uncle.

That’s why those two get along so well.

What I find curious is what caused Rodman to wig-out and become the D-list celebrity he is?

When he was with the Pistons, he was the most non-descript person on the team, just another baller. All of a sudden he goes to the Spurs, and he has red hair, sulks on the bench, takes his shirt off....NBA damn near became the WWE for crying out loud.

Wearing dresses and makeup...maybe the same thing that happened to Miley Cyrus...

He was normal when he left for NK, wonder what they did to him while he was there? If it was brainwashing, they forgot to add fabric softener.........

As a side note, I wonder if it’s that “Celebrity Rehab” center that’s geared towards the celebs whose careers have tanked but still crave the camera and think that putting their addictions front and center will somehow resurrect their pathetic careers....................

Rodman was in “Celebrity Rehab” once before. It didn’t last long.

Hey, Rodman....why don’t you go to N Korea for rehab...I hear they have great “rehab” centers.

what a jerk...typical Lib ....go to Cuba, or China or N Korea for your medical care..!! After all, those countries are SOOOOO much better, isn’t that what you’re always ranting about?

LOL! Maybe we can get Sean Penn to carry Rodman’s luggage to his destination and they’ll keep them both!
