Pat O'Brien Out of Rehab - Into Junk Food

Posted Mar 11th 2008 4:37PM by TMZ Staff

Pat O'Brien is out of rehab, but execs at "The Insider" are mum about his future.

Our spies spotted POB at Gelson's market in Pacific Palisades last Saturday. He looked painfully, painfully thin with sunburned skin -- "bordering on scorched" we're told. He loaded up on at least ten cans of Pringles and a bunch of bags of M&M's. At one point he was at the deli waiting for his number to be called, when a woman recognized him and started the whole "Oh my God," thing. Pat wanted no part of it and just bailed. Guess he didn't find it "so f***in' hot."

We called "The Insider" to find out if POB is coming back. A spokesperson told TMZ, "At this time Pat O'Brien is focused on his recovery and it's inappropriate to comment on rumors about the show."

5. Easy TMZ, most of your employees look as stone as Pat. Let the man get the help he needs.

6. Code words, if they are concerned that means you're fired. Pat was on his last leg and I believe he's history.

12. I like Pat he and Lara do a great job. I feel bad for him. He sure did hide it well on the show. I couldn't tell he must have been sober. I wish him the best.

13. Leave the man alone, for goodness sake. TMZ is like a bunch of vultures, circling over a wounded animal.

14. I had the privilge of clicking onto a you-tube link here one time on his post. He had called a woman and was trying to talk dirty but it was the grossest thing I ever heard. He had a girlfriend by the way. I don't know if he is still with her or not. I wish him a well recovery but never want to see him on this show again.
