TMZ has learned Mackenzie Phillips is now in rehab.
As we just reported, the D.A. has charged Phillips with two felonies in connection with her drug bust at LAX last week.
No surprise that her mega-lawyer, Blair Berk, now has ammo in her arsenal -- namely, that Mackenzie is taking steps to deal with her drug problem. FYI, she's been in rehab nine times before.

There is the truth. I hope everyone who reads TMZ is reminded that they want stories, controversy and will lie to get it.

4. Shame on you Harvey. Don't make fun of addiction.
However much she has slowed down her drug use by being in rehab 10 times-- is good. To put it another way, if she hadn't been in rehab this many times, then she might have been dead by now.
Not funny TMZ.

5. Glad to hear she's back in rehab. Big deal, so she's been in rehab nine times already, Sometimes it takes years and who knows how many tries for someone to get clean and sober, The main thing is that they are TRYING to get clean. It's not easy, but it can be done. I'm praying she makes it through another day.
I'm sure that some of the winners here will make remarks about how she's weak because she's a druggie or some other garbage. Tell you what, I dare any of you naysayers to go to an open meeting of NA or AA tonight, once you've done that, then come back and make your brave remarks. I'm guessing that the most critical of her will be the most scared to even think about walking into one of those rooms. Go ahead, research it a little.

7. She's trying to compete with Amy Winehouse. I'm not sure if this belongs in "Celebrity Justice" or "Train Wrecks".

9. We all know that entering rehab after getting busted is their GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card! Its all BS. After doing their staged stint in rehab the first thing they do is a 'hit'. Sickening to think about...all the money they have to waste!

11. She was on the Today Show a few weeks ago with Valerie Bertinelli and she really looked rough. Missing a few side teeth and all, I wondered then if she was still using since she looked so rough.

12. This is the one thing money can't buy you out of! Unless you have been in her shoes you don't even have the right to comment on addiction! It is the hardest thing to conquer and she will have to fight it every day for the rest of her life! Be strong girl, live one minute at a time!!

13. I WISH THIS AMY WINEHOUSE CLONE WOULD JUST OVERDOSE AND DIE ALREADY. SHE'S A WEAK PERSON, A BLEMISH ON SOCIETY. SHE'S PROBABLY STILL BLAMING HER MENTAL PROBLEMS ON HER CHILDHOOD. BIG YAWN.
