Marc Jacobs checked into rehab


Designer Marc Jacobs has checked into rehab! This is what I read in some celebrity gossip news today, apparently MJ has checked into rehab right after presenting his shows in Paris. I wonder if his substance abuse problem contributed to the hideous clothing and bags that he has created for both Louis Vuitton and his own lines Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs in the few recent seasons. I seriously hope that after he comes out from rehab, we will see the talented, innovative Marc that actually has taste again. That being said, these days rehab had become way too common that it's almost a trend, we see Miss America, teen queens or former teen queens, even politicians checking into rehab, wonder if that truly does make a difference in the person's life. One suggestion I'd make to Marc though: "quit hanging out with people like your ex or Lindsay (unless she stays sober after rehab)!" Here is the article if you are interested:
