Burt Reynolds is 73.  Can you believe it?  Not only is he 73 years old, but he’s checked into rehab to deal with an addiction to painkillers.  Linds, are you listening?  His rep released a statement, confirming his stint in a West Palm Beach facility:

“After a recent back surgery, Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell and after a while, realized he was a prisoner of prescription pain pills,” his manager said in a statement Wednesday. “He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life. Mr. Reynolds hopes his story will help others in a similar situation. He hopes they will not try to solve the problem by themselves, but realize that sometimes it is too tough to do on their own and they should seek help, as he did.”

Good luck, Burt!

  • More likely: “73 year old Lindsay Lohan has once again checked herself into rehab for a recurring addiction to plastic surgery and recreational drugs. Although she showed early promise as an actor she was never able to deal with fame and has lived as a socialite and reality tv regular for the past few decades. “

  • hey hey hey so wendie is this your website now? Beet is no where to EVER be found you do like 80% of the updates

  • What the hell is he wearing? Is it just me or does he sorta look like the devil in this pic?
    Glad he’s going to rehab, though…

  • I guess that’s exactly the way he’ll look in his own funeral (except for his eyes wide open and his smile) that’s how much makeup he’ll be wearing.

  • Poor Burt. At one time he was quite good looking. Plastic surgery, make-up and toupees have not been kind to him.
