...each morning after surgery, Sandy had one consistent message for me: "I gotta get back home." This was a motivated patient with a goal - home. I had started to tell him about rehab - the great majority of our hip fracture patients get a week or so of intensive physical therapy as soon as they are medically stable - but Sandy would have nothing to do with it. "Please don't let them put me in the warehouse - I'm fine, doc - just need to get back to my own bed, feed the cat, catch up on the papers." I didn...
...Fifteen years after he was nominated for an Oscar for his uncanny portrayal of Charlie Chaplin and seven years after his last of several well-publicized trips to either rehab or jail, Downey, 43, is finally claiming the career he was always meant to have, one befitting a fiercely talented, eccentric and magnetic leading man.

Either way, the transition from starter to closer to all-around pitcher suits Madick’s mentality well. “I don’t really see myself as a starter...
...betterment through reality is not only for the little people (or, as on The Biggest Loser, the big people). VH1, home of "celebreality" shows about the almost famous, has produced one of the most fascinating shows so far this year with Celebrity Rehab. Whereas the network's The Surreal Life brought D listers together to drink, flirt and fight under the same roof, Rehab was the corollary cautionary tale in which substance-abusing guests checked into an actual rehab facility under the care of Loveline's Dr. Drew Pinsky. As trashy as its concept was, Rehab's first season...
