If You’re Gonna Go to Rehab, You May as Well Get Some Press Out of It

Samaire Armstrong Goes to Rehab

Ugh.

So Samaire Armstrong, some nobody who did a few episodes of The O.C. and is now on the most-hyped show that no one’s watching, Dirty Sexy Money, decided to go to some outpatient center for some of her bullshit and decided to have her rep issue a statement about it.

“Samaire Armstrong decided to enter an outpatient facility to deal with some personal issues in a therapeutic atmosphere and is doing very well. She continues to work on her show and will be completing her treatment in a matter of weeks.”

Apparently she missed a week or so of shooting on DSM while in rehab, so she’ll be out for an episode. “She stumbled a bit, but she’s back on set,” says a source on the show.

So clearly this happened at least a week or two ago. Why issue the statement today?

Here’s the answer.

It’s a slow news day. Perfect opportunity for a nobody to get some publicity for a rehab stint.

There you have it folks: When life hands you lemons, issue a press release.

  • Was she wearing underwear or going Comando? Was she upset because Thailand’s beloved king hospitalized having blood flow problems? Who did her hair and makeup and who did her dress and accessories? Does she agree Red Sox’s dynamite duo in total control? Is she secretly dating Pete Wentz and is Ashley devastated? Is she one who took part in Naked Art? Does Bai Ling think she is sexy girl? Is she okay that Sex and marriage could happen with robots? Which charactor from Sex in the City movie does she like best and will she go see it or rent the video? Was she smoking, drinking or eating anything in her limo? Is she aware Foxy Brown refused twice to appear at her hearing.. What is she reading and does Oprah approve?.. blah blah.. People gotta know, ya know?

  • Aw man, I love her! Can’t hate on Anna from the O.C. – and she was in Entourage too! Hopefully she’ll call me after she gets out and we can have crepes.

  • I actually was in an AA meeting at StutzBearcat in Sedona. Saw this chick, HOTTY for sure! I was wondering about her. WOW HOT
