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.

61. Why are some of you people so mean and nasty? This man is a man, who like many other men and woman has made mistakes in how they handled the situation. I'm sure none of you are saints. I know I'm not. This man is a father, who trying to fix his life. Instead of saying "Hey, Richie was on the wrong path, and now is trying to correct it instead of ending up like other dead celebrities who didn't change their life", you are all blasting him for trying to do something good. The Lindsay comments, are ridiculous, this girl has been thru alot of very bad choices, but the public eggs her on. If these celebrities didn't live their private pain publicly, many of you would have no life. Quit bagging on people's private/public pain and mistakes to make yourselves feel like you look better than you are. If the public were to give them some positive support, perhaps they wouldn't be the way they are and setting bad examples for our children.

God Bless those trying to get help - I pray that works - Good Luck Richie, Lindsay and all others who need our prayers and support, not our criticism and nasty remarks.

67. Sorry; all the NEWS STORIES are saying he's still in rehab in Utah. Hope Lindsay leaves him alone ...

68. I hope Richie gets the treatment he deserves and he better stay away from Lindsey "the skank" Lohan-there's no telling what he'd catch.

69. I don't believe that person saying they're with Richie. If you're friends with him or with him you would know he DETESTS these kind of sites and wouldn't appreciate that. I'm tired of these delusional people. If he had a girlfriend, we'd already see PHOTOS of them being that he was with two famous women already and all the drama.

Get professional help.

Best wishes to Richie. He deserves the best.

70. LINDSAY IS A HOMEWRECKER, CONTENT TO LET HER REP DISMISS RUMORS OF THE AFFAIR WITH TONY. IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, THEN SHE OWES IT TO THE MOTHER OF TONY'S CHILDREN TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT NOTHING HAPPENED. DIVORCE PAPERS HAVE BEEN FILED OVER THIS. TONY'S MYSPACE PAGE SHOWS THAT HE IS ONLINE NOW..WHAT A LOSER. LINDSAY'S KARMA IS AT AN EBB LOW, AND MAYBE RITCHIE WILL USE HER UP AND BREAK HER HEART, JUST LIKE LINDSAY DOES WHEN SHE DESTROYS FAMILIES. I TAKE THAT BACK..RITCHIE WOULDN'T DO THAT..HE WON'T NEED TO, BECAUSE LINDSAY WILL POP A DIRTY WHILE ON PROBATION. THREE YEARS IS A LONG TIME. I'LL PUT MONEY ON IT. LILO, TO JAIL YOU MUST GO.
