We are SO lucky here at FitPerez to be working with some the best contributors around, and we're proud to announce yet another:

The Pasadena Recovery Center!

The PRC would LOVE to answer any questions you might have about anything, including things like steps to recover after rehab, how to know you have a problem, warning signs, etc.

So here's a little more background on them, so you can start thinking of what you wanna ask!

We are very glad to hear this.

After Nick Stahl went missing over a week ago, the troubled actor reportedly e-mailed friends to tell them he had checked into rehab.

While some friends were skeptical of his commitment, his wife, Rose, has confirmed that Stahl has, indeed, sought out treatment.

Taylor Armstrong made headlines earlier this week for partying a little too hard at Kyle Richards’ daughter's fourth birthday party over the weekend. Witnesses went as far to say that she was "blitzed" and, as a result, her friends are more convinced than ever that she has developed a serious drinking problem!

We certainly hope these reports are just exaggerated, but if they are not, Taylor needs to get help! Her husband is gone and she is all that her daughter Kennedy has left. According to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills insiders, however, Taylor is in "absolute denial"!

We heard rumblings of trouble brewing a few weeks ago, but apparently her problem is only getting worse, as one insider on the show alleges:

"Taylor is in absolute denial that she has a drinking problem. She is telling her close friends and fellow housewives that she isn't an alcoholic. Taylor says she can quit drinking at anytime, that she only drinks at night and that she has it under control. However, Taylor did get absolutely wasted at a four-year-old's birthday party and her daughter Kennedy saw the entire thing. No, Taylor doesn't ever drink and drive but she clearly has a problem and her daughter is witnessing her mother's sad downward spiral, just months after her own father killed himself. Taylor always says she will quit drinking and take her vitamins, but then she resumes drinking within a few days. Taylor doesn't realize that she can go into liver failure and die from drinking, it's truly sad to witness."

Yikes! This does sound serious. The insider is even claiming that Taylor has hit "rock bottom," continuing:

"Look, the fact is she got sloppy drunk at a four-year-old's birthday party and her half brother, Dwight was with her and so was Kennedy. If that isn't hitting rock bottom, what is? What Taylor doesn't realize is that producers of the show are going to stage an intervention and then she is going to be off the show. There is no way Bravo wants to deal with any potential negative publicity because of Taylor's drinking after Russell's suicide."

Maybe an intervention is what she needs. Kinda stinks that a private moment like that is going to be on television though. Then again, that is exactly what she signed up for.

Keep your head up, Taylor! And don't be afraid to get help if you need help! There is no shame in admitting you have a problem.

We knew Chris Klein's struggle with alcoholism nearly cost him his career, but not his life!

The American Reunion star has revealed in a recent interview that had he not turned his life around, "I would have died, and I think about that every single day."

After 2 DUI's and a jail sentence, the heartthrob has been sober for 19 months and doesn't plan on looking back. Describing himself as the "luckiest guy alive," Chris told sources:

"It got to the point where I was a fragile shadow of the young man that came into this business. Today, I'm the luckiest guy alive."

Words can't explain how happy we are that this guy got the help he needed! Hopefully the industry will welcome the new and improved actor back into the business with open arms.

Are U excited to see Chris Klein return to his roots in American Reunion?

Despite completing a stint in Celebrity Rehab, Dennis Rodman is not doing so well with his alcohol addiction.

In fact, he's blaming it as the reason he owes his third wife, Michelle Rodman, $808,935 in child support and $51,441 in back spousal support!

Yikes! That's a lot of money to blow on booze.

The NBA Hall of Fame basketball player's manager told sources that his client has a "well-documented drinking problem, and all the stress from the divorce and not seeing his kids isn't helping. As people know, it's a daily struggle. He has good days and bad ones and good weeks and bad weeks."

Well, he better sober up because he's facing up to 20 days in jail for failure to pay the amount of money that his attorney called too much for "even the wealthiest celebrities in the world."

It doesn't sound like he'll be paying his debts off anytime soon though. Not only did his attorney say that Rodman is "extremely sick," but that he's "broke and cannot afford any additional fees."

His attorney and manager better get on the same page though. According to his manager, Dennis is "not hurting, compared to retired athletes, with what he makes, but he's certainly not making what he made when he was paying with the Bulls."

Well now we're confused. Is he broke or isn't he?

Sources say that his most recent business venture was launching a topless women's basketball team with a New York strip club. Classy, right?

Natasha Lyonne was spotted at the premiere of American Reuinion looking a LOT healthier than she has in AGES.

The American Pie original has been working on staying on the sober train, and we commend her for it!!!

Natasha credits the support of those who rallied behind her, and says that even her arrest warrant

Why, gurl? WHY!?

Miley Cyrus was spotted taking drags from a cigarette after enjoying lunch with friends in El Lay on Saturday.

We love Miley, but we have ZERO love for smoking. It's self-destructive and just kind of pointless. Grab a mint from the counter to suck on after a meal instead!
