Keith Urban Checks Into Rehab

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Keith Urban has checked himself into a rehabilitation treatment center for alcohol abuse, less than four months after his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman.
The Grammy-winning country singer released a statement Friday that said he entered rehab Thursday night with his wife by his side. His publicist would not give the location of the rehab center.
"I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me," Urban said in the statement.
Urban, who turns 39 on Oct. 26, has publicly acknowledged a former addiction to cocaine.
"One can never let one's guard down on recovery, and I'm afraid that I have," the statement read.
Urban's new CD, "Love, Pain, & the whole crazy thing," will be released Nov. 7 as scheduled, but he will postpone all upcoming promotional appearances.
Urban will also likely cancel a scheduled appearance on the Country Music Association awards next month, the publicist said.
Kidman and Urban, who were both raised in Australia, married on June 25 in Sydney. They then moved to Nashville, where Urban records.
Urban won a Grammy this year for best male country vocalist for "You'll Think of Me," and was named top male vocalist for the second year in a row by the Academy of Country Music.
A Country Weekly magazine reader poll this year named him country music's sexiest man.

I'm also not reading all that cut and paste. I read that in the paper that Keith is going into rehab so I guess their marriage well last awhile longer. I was hoping it would last "Til Death do us Part" but I guess we will see.

I think the marriage was a stunt, Nicole has to keep in the spot light like her ex Tom. In case you haven't noticed her career is in the toilet (also like Toms). She is washed up!
