Melanie Griffith Enters Rehab, Shocks No One

Melanie Griffith has checked into Cirque Lodge in Utah.  It worked so well for Lindsay Lohan, I can’t wait to see what magic it works on our gal Mel.  Melanie Griffith is an interesting drunk.  Like, I’ve always known that she’s a coke head lush but she manages to not embarrass herself in public very often and I don’t think she has any DUIs.  She flies under the radar.

Her publicist released the statement that all publicists say, regarding their clients:  That Melanie elected to enter into rehab just as a checkup on her ongoing sobriety.  At a cost of $30,000 a month, natch.

Star magazine also cited another source that claimed Melanie’s husband, Antonio Banderas, was behind the trip to Cirque.  “He told her that if she didn’t get the help she needed it would be the end of their marriage.”

Whether for her own health, to save her marriage or to just, ahem, keep tabs on her sobriety, I hope Melanie gets the help she needs and climbs back on that wagon.

  • Have to say Melanie looks really good and age appropriate in this photo. Maybe she’s growing into her plastic surgery.

  • I heard one story which is that she is very insecure about her looks, and Antonio can’t reassure her enough or often enough he won’t cheat on her, so she drinks because she feels inadequate. I think she’s aged a lot, but then alcohol does that to you, plus she is a very heavy smoker. She’s a lovely woman it’s too bad, if true, that she feels so badly about herself. Wish her well.

  • I wonder if we might see a large backlash of celebrities trying to detox after the Michael Jackson death. So many have so much access to so many drugs and dr. willing to give drugs. It seems the wrong cocktail /combination can push you over the edge very easily.

  • I am sorry. She has such great talent. I loved her in “Crazy In Alabama”. Really hope that she gets the help she needs, and that her husband, Antonio Banderas will support her. He seems like a nice person, also.

  • I kind of hooked up with her ex-husband at a party at Sundance a few years ago. I asked him if Melanie gave good head and he was all like, “Yeah.”

    • You hooked up with Don Johnson aka Sonny Crockett aka Nash Bridges? That would have been be an awesome story.
      But I’m guessing that you’re talking about Steven Bauer, best known as Tony Montana’s (Al Pacino) partner-in-crime in Scarface.
      Was he a waiter at Sundance?
      Melanie, I have faith that you can successfully get through this. And when you do, the first drink’s on me.
      She and Antonio can’t get divorced, because they each have those respectively stupid his and hers ‘Antonio’ and ‘Melanie’ heart-shaped tattoos.

  • Another woman who never should have had boob implants.
    Yeah it’s a woman’s choice to get them, but I think it speaks to a woman’s insecurity and mental stability.
