I agree with you guys....how can you go to rehab for depression and anger issues?? She does, however, need some extremely intense therapy. She is a big mess and was just so selfish not to give her child up after she was born.

I agree w/smarter than - she must have addiction issues (I recall reading about that many months ago). Rehab for "anger issues"? The public is not stupid and I'm not buying it!!

Rehab for depression and anger issues?? Umm.... ok. Unless or until she confronts her substance addiction issues... this is a waste of time. Good publicity though, MTV will be happy.
