Rehab is a Good Thing
Filed under: Old People
As we wondered yesterday, it appears that Eddie Van Halen is back in rehab.
According to reports, Eddie is receiving treatment in San Antonio, TX.
It was a bust up with his son and bandmate, 17 year old Wolfgang (his son with Jenny Craig spokeswhore Valerie Bertinelli), on Friday that apparently forced him into rehab once again.
An insider says, "Wolf hates it when his dad drinks. He knew Eddie was drunk onstage that night, and was acting cold to him, which set Eddie off. Eddie went beserk and started yanking guitar cables from the pedal boards and throwing cigarettes around onstage. At the end of the concert, Eddie was so mad at Wolf, he punched the amp speaker, knocking it over."
He's supposedly in to detox for just one week.
There were concerns about Eddie relapsing while on tour before Van Halen even hit the road.
Will this quick fix really be enough to help Eddie get through the on-hold-for-now tour?
Just one week in "detox"?????

YESS! YESSSSSS! I'm finally first BITCHES!
1st 2nd and 3rd mwuahahahaha!
He has a body of a 13 year old girl
Are you sure it isn't because David Lee Roth can throw up his leg any more?
Too bad for Wolfie, such a bad way to raise kids…seeing your parents drunk and throwing a fit like a two year old… NICE way to show your kids the right way to act. And one week in rehab, TOTAL JOKE… WTH ever.
SAD… so sad for the son : (
Yeah, now we know why Eddie has his son around. He can be a douche and kinda get away with it. Mike woulda punched him the throat and resumed playing with Sammy. What a fuckin' train wreck.
1 week is definitely no enough. It's a life style change.
wow, congrats
blar
HI STEFROOOO
Looks like his head is on backwards in that picture! LMAO!
Go Eddy!!!
It looks as if it is time to disown daddykins….

saw them in concert in jacksonville, florida - awesome - but eddie should keep his shirt on
ummmm who is he…?
shit I was 1st!!
I am so sick of people going to rehab - his poor son. The mother should take her son out of this sick situation. All these people are disgusting that cannot control themselves…
your a fucking retard
this mug is still alive?
now this guy is talented. he is a revolutionary musical genius and everyone wants him to pull it together. compared with the exclusively ethnic shit we here coming out today pray that he gets better and cranks out some rippin new cock rock soon.
He is like Mary-Kate skinny, and it looks icky!!!!!!
I don't understand how anyone thinks one week of rehab is going to accomplish anything. Plus he looks like he is wearing jeans from the junior girls department.
Again, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? Are you a doctor? Whay do you make such comments if you have NO IDEA what you are TALKING ABOUT???! Have any medical training? Been to rehab?! I worked in one - a week (or shorter) is normal for someone not using IV drugs or meth. Quit being an authority, Perez, if you are so clueless…
Wanna hang where the stars go? Plan a trip with The Trip Geek at www.thetripgeek.com! The Trip Geek knows all the LA hotspots. Dine, shop, party, and play like a star!!!!!!!!!!!
What a selfish fuck. What about all those people that bought tickets?????
Oh man I have NEVER gotten over the fact thazt they named their son "Wolfgang"
Gee, I wonder who is the son and who is the dad in that relationship. He needs to get help for his anger issues too.
Rehab is a joke. You need to grow up and take responsibility for your life.
Perez, what is with you and the Van Stupid. You've done enough of the old rocker crap leave it for VH1 and get back to the Hollywood whores we love to hate!
Come on, Perez! Why are you calling Valerie a SPOKESWHORE? ? ? That's just wrong! She got out of a CRAPPY marriage to an abusive addict who cheated on her, so why is SHE being name called?? Wrong wrong wrong!!
What the hell is up with his toes sticking out of his shoe?
YOU BUNCH OF FUCKING LOSERS, GROW THE FUCK UP AND STOP WITH THE FIRST SHIT!!!!!!!!!!
As far as Eddie goes 1 week of detox compared to years and years of substance abuse, i doubt it very much.
OMG, that blob of FAT Wolfgang ATE her!! Ewwwww.. his Dad is sooo cute and Wolfgang is sooo FAT
yikes.
His kid should be in school and not on tour. No child should have to be a parent. It's amazing that people don't understand how hurtful this is to a kid.
Ah yea, Rehab. Used to solicit pity and attention.

Drop dead Eddie.
Janet Jackson's "Discipline" (Island Def Jam), last week's Billboard 200 topper, falls 1-3 with 57,000, a 68% hit!!! Janet sucks!!!
Edward, I hope this works. You're too goo 4 this!!!
Alcohol withdrawal is very dangerous. It can cause heart attacks and seizures, and is the only drug that's withdrawals can kill you. A lot of alcoholics go on major binges and then they know they need to dry out for a while, and they know because of the withdrawals they can't do it without sedetives and medical supervision. So they go into "rehab" for a week or two, or if they are lucky enough they can get a doctor down they street to prescribe them a sedetive and they can do it at home. Once they dry out real good for about a month, they are right back at it and start they cycle all over again. I've literally seen it thousands of times.
omg he stole my jeans!
Re: Student! –
student my ass…
Hmmm People.com has an exclusive report w/ his attention-craving ex and it states that their son is 16 not 17, and that he is not in rehab as is being reported.
PIECE OF SHIT DRUG ADDICT FUCKO!!! LOSER!! YOUR SHIT HAS BEEN OLD AND DEAD SINCE 1989!!! YOU COULDN'T "ROCK" IF YOUR SHITTY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE LEFT IS DANCING AROUND WITH THE PERSON YOU HATE MOST (DAVID LEE ROTH) WHILE YOU SWEAT IT TO THE FUCKING OLDIES AND SMOKE CRAK LIKE A FUCKING TEENAGER WITH THIER FIRST PACK OF CLOVE CIGARETTES!!!! CRACK HEAD ZOMBIE FUCKER!!! ONE DAY AT A FUCKING TIME BITCH!!! JUST ASK YOUR CHIRPY WHORE OF A WIFE!!!!

Sadly, this dog is set in his ways.
He has been drinking since he was a teenager.
If his son cant make him wise up and get sober, I dont think Eddie has a chance.
Drugs and alcohol bring a lot of people down. You would think with all the money and fame Ed would be happy, but it shows you how strong addiction is.
Re: Madge the Madonna –
Janet Jackson is a fetid, rotten old granny who is struggling with pneumonia in the fucking hospice!!! Send her cards and flowers kids– cause granny might not make it through the week!!!!!!!
I HOPE HIS DUMBASS KID STARTS SMOKING CRACK TO TRY AND "TEACH" HIS DAD A LESSON!!!! WHAT A BUNCH OF TALENTLESS CUNTS!!! THIS DUDE HAD ONE FUCKING GIMMICK- THAT WAS OLD THE SECOND THAT MICHAEL JACKSON (THE KID FUCKER) USED IT ON THRILLER IN 1983!!! THAT IS HOW TIRED THIS LOSER'S ACT IS!!!! 25 FUCKING YEARS OF SUCKING!!!!!!!
I was in treatment for 2 and 1/2 years and have been clean ever since (6 years) He needs at least 3 months of in patient treament. How many years did he fuck off high and drunk?? What is a couple of months of you life to live??
He's a washed-up old hack! Just go away already… and take D.L.R. with you!
Why do hate so much? Valerie Bertinelli is wonderful and so is VH!!!
You obviously have not seen the show….
WTF is going on with his footwear in that picture ??????????
chewbacca sings awacawewawa
what is wrong with his footwear is right! Looks like his right foot got chewed by a damn dog!
I'm Valerie Bertinelli and I have a fucking brilliant idea…
why don't I let my 17 year old child go out on a tour with my alcoholic drug addict rock star ex husband?
Wow, Mario. Word for word copied and pasted outta the Enquirer. Good job.
YESS! YESSSSSS! I'm finally first BITCHES!
Wolfgang needs to go on Jenny Craig
Poor kid. First they curse him with the name Wolfgang, then he has to hear about his mom's lesbian kiss, and now he has to watch his dad act like a drunken trainwreck. Does he have godparents that could raise him instead?
He got the "control-your-temper-or-we'll-ship-your-alkie-ass-outta-here" message, at least. That the alcohol triggered it?? Probably. But obviously, he'd rather drink. Didn't he have to have part of his tongue removed due to cancer? And he still smokes? Can we say self-destructive tendencies?
Geez -us-H-Chy-st, this is like what, the 4th time in rehab in the last year and a half and about the 3rd or 4th cancellation or postponment of their tour. Time to face facts Eddie, YOU, are the loser, not the lead singers.
For hard core addicts/alcoholics one week is not enough; however, if they are not willing to surrender their will, it doesn't matter how long they spend in rehab. My husband is now in rehab for the 3rd time in the last year. Need I say more….
Too bad he was doing so good and looking good too. I wonder if he's sorry he fired the original bass player. ps poor wolfie
If his parents were really smart, they would make Wolfie stay in school and get a real education. Both of them need to grow up and be there for him. Valerie and Eddie are just too full of themselves.
Re: KILL YOURSELF ASAP EDDIE!! – Well put, LOL.
Guys Wearing Skinny Jeans–Grossest Trend That Needs To Stop!!!
Wolfie's only 16. He doesn't turn seventeen until Sunday.
Perez, please. You don't like homophobia or homophobic speech, so unless you're a misogynist, please don't refer to women in your blog as whores. Even if you're trying to be funny. Even if that's just what people are saying now. There is such a large amount of colloquial speech to denigrate women. Don't support it. Please.
His mouth looks so gross…ewww now I"m going to have nightmares.
detox is not rehab, if you knew anything about any of the shit you always talk about, then you should know that. detox is jsut where you go to get the drugs out of your system, and then you go to a rehab facility. fuck perez, you're a retard.
He may have only been in detox for a week, but that could be the beginning of at least a 30-day treatment program. Not un-heard-of. Eddie - take care - you are loved, and admired! Wolfie, take heart - if you haven't already, check out Al-Anon!
Huh. Wonder who the adult is in that relationship.
What a shame that poor kid has such a shitty father.
What does it matter how long he is in rehab….THIS TIME? When someone goes in and out and in and out of rehab and nothing ever works, what difference does it make how long this stay will be?????? Van Halen rocks!! Love them…always have. However, when you are in your early 50's and have been partying, drinking, and smoking for 35 years, it's time to get your shit together!!!!!!!! I love EVH but I doubt he smells real good. He looks old and haggard.
Only a week? But the postoned every single concert! This doesn't sound right.
What the hell does he have on his feet?
The show must go on. Hope he gets well soon but I fret he will eventually go the way of Patrick Swayze. They have much in common. Until then rock on Eddie and keep your shit clean. You have an obligation to your family, friends and fans.
"Detox" for alcohol is usually never more than one week. The process of going in for detox is merely to stop drinking in a safe environment with medical supervision. It's up to the person thereafter to decide whether or not to go into a rehab facility (many of which do not offer detox).
clarification: "detox" goes on for a week and is then, hopefully, followed by "rehab"
"detox" is a period of time when the patient is stabilized and sobers up before the real work: rehab
Knew it.. Just went into AA myself and can tell you a lil fact.. A relapse with alcohol can kill the alcoholic the very first time incredibly. Eddies heart is not used to it and we tend to do make up drinking for lost time. I love Van Halen. And so does Wolfie
And for the dirty asshole who wants Edward dead and is making fun of the one day at a time phrase: it means to live in the moment. Not the past or the future like losers do. So i am certain you are a piece of shit. And am also convinced you think nirvana and green day and john popper and phish are musical genius' and they suck like your mother did to pay her rent and by lack of abortion $ conceive your unfortunate ass. I will concede that Valerie Bertenelli is a whore though just like your mother..
The misty, rosy vision of playing father & son (and brother) has been replaced with having to set an example for your son 24/7, & not being able to Party on tour and kick back with the band for a night without being judged. I doubt their original bass player would have expected perfection from Eddie. Such is life. Your kids grow up worshipping you, and then turn around and read you the riot act; about yourself. They'll get over it. Wolfgang will become more tolerant, but teenagers get overly arrogant about any 'do as I say, but not as I do stuff', go figure, lol. When they become mature adults, they'll slip you a mickey into the rest home out of compassion and wink, wink. I saw Van Halen this tour, and it was a great trip back in time. Very magical. Eddie no doubt would play better a bit looped than most would sober; guitar virtuosity. Roth was great, Alex kicked it, and Wolfgang has all the makings once he develops a stage presence. Hope they finish out their tour for their fan's sake, and for their own.
catch on everyone…was it that long ago? The man is sick, give him & his fam a break. Butt out
