Celebrities in rehab: The new fashion?

Early reports yesterday revealed that Kevin Federline, better known as K-Fed- has been in the process of trying to get his estranged wife to enter a rehab program. Reports claim that K-Fed's first efforts involved threats of getting her children taken away and later teaming up with Spears' mom, Lynne- whom K-Fed has been having a personal and understandable feud with- to try and convince the one-time America's Sweetheart to get help.
