Richie Sambora Returns to Rehab

Bon Jovi's number two, Richie Sambora, returned to rehab on Monday -- this time at the Cirque Lodge in Utah -- the same rehab facility where Lindsay Lohan is currently receiving treatment.

This is the second time this year Sambora's been to rehab. This past June, after the traumatic break-up of his marriage to Heather Locklear and his split from girlfriend Denise Richards, Sambora spent a week at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles.

At the time, he told NBC's Matt Lauer that he decided to go the rehab route because, "I was just drinking too much, and I needed to get my life together."

The 48-year-old Bon Jovi guitarist has a private room at Cirque, reports Star.

47. To 3:01PM not a fan any longer - There were no excuses made there. You read that into it. It's just one small piece of the puzzle. I stated that Richie might be dealing with his demons, and finding out about your divorce via radio is a pretty big effing demon. Dealing with them is part of recovery. Who said he was blaming Heather? Only you seemed to surmise that from the comment. If anything he's probably blaming himself too, in hindsight. Accepting responsibility is also part of recovery. That makes YOU the simpleton. Ever heard of empathy and understanding? You should get some. If I were YOUR partner, I might just be drunk 24/7. Only I wouldn't, because I deal differently, which was the only credible and true part of your comment that I already totally agreed on.
To tell a commentor to seriously get laid has nothing to do with staying on topic, was uncalled for, and is rather a hostile and weakly aggressive poke that's completely off topic because you can't come up with any kind of constructive written contribution. I guess not getting laid must be on your mind.
He may even be OK with everything including the Heather thing for all we know. WTF do we know? It's all conjecture, but to live the lifestyle touring from city to city with all of the meet 'n greets to promote yourselves is the larger issue within which behavioural modification must be addressed. I've lived it, so I know. Liquor presents itself everywhere, all the time. After a night of playing and kicking it, one rightly they deserve to celebrate, and 40 people are bringing you free drinks. I learned to say yes to a virgin Pepsi and still celebrate just fine.

52. I guess the first time around he did'nt hear them say "Don't drink and go to A.A.meetings" The part about the A.A.meetings being the hard part..... Good luck to him He gets a salute and a silent prayer....

53. From someone in the know, he really is a good guy. He's a down to earth guy who would not hurt a fly and treats people well. He has a good heart and this is evident to anyone who knows or has met him...lets all keep good thoughts in our hearts for him...hang in their brother...

54. I do wish Mr. Samboro luck in finding sobriety. He is nearly 50 now and the body can only take so much the more we age. I look at Keith Richards and he is one scary sight. I was the girlfriend of a professional musician for about 6 years and it was a tough relationship. The drugs, alcohol and othre women are all out there and it puts alot of stress on a relationship. I chose to leave and we are still friends but I just couldn't handle the lifestyle. Most of those guys have huge egos and wives and children kind of fall by the wayside. Heather Locklear was married to a musician the first time around so she knew what it was all about. I am not saying Samboro is the sleezebag Lee is...they just live a different way...Samboro is a talented man and certainly not received his due as part of Bon Jovi. I hope he succeeds in his quest to sobriety not only for himself but for his daughter. Good Luck.

55. I heard that he's still can't over the fact that he left his beautiful wife for that ugly slut, so he
drinks more and more and kicks himself for that.

56. It is good to go to rehab but these places they go to are just spa -like. That is how I feel about it.

59. Whats up with TMZ site. Seems it's hard to type anything on here.

Sambora is ugly and obviously is seeking attention.
