Pat O' Brien checks into Rehab
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Pat O'Brien, currently the anchor of "The Insider" entertainment news program, revealed over the weekend that he has checked himself into an alcohol rehab program.
"I have had a problem with alcohol," O'Brien admitted to the AP in a Sunday statement. "I have decided to take action by checking myself into an intensive recovery program. Overcoming this problem is a top priority in my life and I am excited to return to work as soon as I am able." The 57-year-old O'Brien was the host of "Access Hollywood" from 1997 until his contract expired last summer, prompting talk of legal action when he quickly bolted for the syndicated "Entertainment Tonight" spin-off "The Insider." O'Brien also spent part of last year covering the Athens Olympics for MSNBC and NBC late-night. " I have a nose but I never use it." - Jimmy Fallon as Pat |
See what happens when you hang out with P. Diddy? Wonder if this'll be the topic of any of those gossipy entertainment shows tonight...
|
Yeah, I was surprised it wasn't an Insider exclusive...
I wish nothing but the best for Pat, but man, is he on every radio station in LA or what? |
with the sponsored links, anyone here can do it, too!

According to people on Imus, he got dead drunk at Trump's wedding a few weeks ago. They also discussed this morning that there is a recently released voice mail/answering machine recording of O'Brien or someone that sounds like him /talking dirty trying to get a woman to join him in a threesome. They discussed airing a censored version of it but said it was still damn filthy even when it was edited. I had to go to work before they played, though.

Did he start drinking heavily after he realised how bad his new hairdo looked?? :lol:
Sorry I couldn't resist! |
I heard the phone calls he made to some chick uncensored today on Opie and Anthony. Pat was inspired by Bill O'Reily. He's pretty freaky. -eek-

Pretty bad. |
I hope he doesn't mind photographer staking out his rehab center trying to get shots of him looking all haggard and crappy.
Who am I kidding? No one wants to see that crap. |

I think the alcohol thing is just an excuse to quiet this down. |

Alcohol? I'm surprised it wasn't cocaine addiction since he can't seem to breathe with his nose.
|
Any links online to these calls?
|
|
Yeah Opie & Anthony had a field day with this yesterday. Great hearing it uncensored.
|
Remember running into him a few times in Boston area bars (Maddy's up in M-head)when he was doing the NBA during the Celtics heydays of the '80s.
Let's just leave it as each time: he was feeling no pain.... |
Wow. Is that really him in those messages? They are whacked out. He talks about gettin a hooker, some coke, etc. etc. He <i>is</i> versatile in want he wants as far as sex goes, though. :lol:
"If you agree with this, look at me and say: yes." rotfl The messages I heard are within two/three hours of each other. Some a few minutes after the other. Sad. It evens sounds like he is in a group setting in a few of them (you can hear people talking in the background). |
I finally heard them this morning. Damn, they were funny. He calls this chickie about 6 times in 2 hours - you could almost see him sweating and playing pocket pool as he left the messages. I have no doubt it's him, sounds just like him. I couldn't get over how damn horny he sounded, like he was on cocaine AND ecstacy. "Damn, you are so hot...I'm so into you" :rotfl:
I heard this morning on Imus that an ex-husband of O'Brien's girlfriend or ex-gf has a photo of O'Brien masturbating. No one knew why this guy had this photo. Damn hilarious! |
I remember when this guy was the Halftime Sports Guy on CBS.
Yikes. Hollywood and lots of cash does weird things to people. |

Okay those messages are prime signature material (of course censored signature material), IMO.
My favorite tamer line has to be the one in my signature. |

Thanks. So much better uncensored. |
I got this link from IMDB message boards
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/sto...p-250567c.html <b>Tales of excess at 'Access'</b> It keeps getting messier for "The Insider" host Pat O'Brien. The celeb chronicler checked into rehab Sunday, just as an embarrassing string of dirty voice-mail messages, which expressed a taste for hookers, cocaine and adventurous (if possibly unhygienic) sex, became public. <b>His reps do not deny that O'Brien made the calls.</b> Now sources say O'Brien was reprimanded several times for sexual harassment during his time as co-host of rival show "Access Hollywood." <b>A witness says O'Brien actually licked co-host Nancy O'Dell's face at an "Access Hollywood" Christmas party.</b> ( :mad: ) At the same event, he was seen groping reporter Shaun Robinson's behind. A gay male producer told our source O'Brien once said to him, "I have a gift for you." When asked what, O'Brien allegedly answered, "Bend over." On another occasion, he allegedly stretched out on the producer's sofa and asked, "What would you do if I masturbated in front of you?" He also allegedly offended two African-American employees when he walked into a makeup room and greeted them with, "What's up, my n——s!" <b>Could it be O'Brien feels that he's down with the bruthas because he once appeared in a P. Diddy video?</b> ( WTF? He did? :lol: ) O'Brien's lawyer, Abel Lezcano, said: "As far as being able to verify or deny this stuff, I can't do it." "NBC does not comment on personnel issues regarding our current or former employees," said a spokeswoman for NBC Universal, which produces "Access Hollywood." "NBC has a strong policy against harassment in the workplace, and takes corrective action when appropriate." A rep for "The Insider" declined comment. I would have hoped that hottie O'Dell wouldn't have been subjected to his sleaze. (Her alma mater will be mine in a year!) This is some of the best gossip (and he ain't even a reputable celebrity type. Talk about Z-grade. Damn funny though.) |
I like Nancy O'Dell. I don't know why, but she has seemed to get better looking within the last year or two.
O'Brien should be fired, if any of the allegations are true. |
Could it be O'Brien feels that he's down with the bruthas because he once appeared in a P. Diddy video? I only remember this as I was either in ninth or tenth grade at the time the video debuted on TRL, and since I was a young high school student at the time, TRL was a staple in my life back then. ;) |
I just heard a couple of the voicemails. rotfl
man, that shit has got to be embarassing! |

:lol: at those messgaes.
