Buffy Star Checks In To Rehab
Not a bad idea after that incident back in March when he fought with the police!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon has checked in to the SOBA Recovery Center in Malibu to get treatment for his alcoholism.
If you forgot the incident that took place back in March involved Nicholas looking for his dog and he knocked on a neighbor's door. When she told him to go away he kicked the door prompting her to call 911.
He says he doesn't remember the altercation with the police, but he DOES remember being tased.
"Being tased is like being punched in the side by Rocky Balboa, the pain is so bad it runs up your spine," he said.
Nicholas was charged with felony vandalism and released on a $20,000 bail at which point he decided to go to rehab to deal with is problems. He explains:
“I’m feeling lucky because alcoholism effected my money management decisions and they are helping me…I was in treatment in 2005 and unfortunately I had a relapse. In the back of my mind, I always knew I had a problem but it became clear to me when I got arrested."
We wish him luck on his recovery!

No Replacement Yet For Idol!

Awww. I love Buffy. Thanks, Perez, for giving updates on some of the cast members. What a shame though. At least he's getting help. Could have been worse. Wish you didn't doodle on his eyes tho… would have been a good pic of him.
Ohhhh no NOT Xander.
Good Luck Xander, I mean Nicholas.

Thank God he's at SOBA! I'm tired of all these people screaming Promises…I went to both - and soba saved my life. Great people, great care - he's in good hands!
Good Luck - Get well!
Hang in there baby ! You can do it. Can't wait to to you act again . You"re great
If you're a Buffy fan, you'll noticed they wrote his alcoholism into Season 6 of Buffy. Xander was always alone drinking beer…maybe it was subconscious on the writers' part, but I'm thinking it wasn't. He was pretty wasted at the Paley Fest as well, which was a shame.
This makes me sad. Met him a couple times, he is a great, kind and funny guy. Best of luck to him.
Re: CatsClaw – Wow, you're right. Sad, though. Met him twice, lovely guy.
Did he find his dog? lol
Good luck to him…excellent actor. Hope he gives us some more performances.
aw poor Nicholas Brendon/Xander…I had no idea he had an alcohol problem. I hope he gets the support and treatment he needs
