Perhaps the Big Brother house would be better for Pat O'Brien right now
No contact with the outside world. That's what Big Brother promises, and usually delivers. If Pat O'Brien were in a Celebrity Big Brother house, instead of in rehab, he wouldn't have to read all of the articles written about him in the last few days.
From Gawker:
Insider host Pat O’Brien has entered rehab for alcohol abuse. Try to be sensitive; if your biggest competition was the legacy of John Tesh, you’d be marinating in tequila, too.
Interestingly enough, Patty’s Dry Journey comes just as a series of voicemails, allegedly featuring O’Brien enumerating some filthy fantasies, are making the internet rounds....Our permatan brother has donned his tinfoil hat to explore the coincidental timing of O’Brien’s media-free stint in recovery, but we all know rehab-as-damage-control is just impossible.
Defamer weighs in:
Apparently, Pat O’Brien is just like the rest of us and requires at least a bottle of Wild Turkey to get through an episode of The Insider, as the host has checked into rehab to battle an alcohol problem. O’Brien slipped a written statement announcing his dry vacation to the AP on Sunday and disappeared into the ether. Lest you worry that his absence will cripple the celebrity salad-tossing capabilities of the show, Lara Spencer, a woman we’ve never heard of, will fill in while O’Brien’s away. In a word: Whew....
Isn’t it weird that O’Brien’s taking his little trip just as a series of voicemails that allegedly feature O’Brien (or someone that sounds a lot like him) reciting his most creepily detailed erotic overtures for a female acquaintance (over and over and over again) have been spreading via e-mail? We’ve heard the voicemails, (and so have many readers, apparently)....But, you know, we don’t know for sure that it’s O’Brien’s voice, despite a little tale circulating with the voicemails about how O’Brien and the lucky lady on the receiving end of his phone naughties met. And even if it were O’Brien, he probably wouldn’t go hide in rehab until the whole non-thing blew over. Nah, The Insider wouldn’t roll like that. That’s just Crazy Talk™.
Plus, there's Dirty Flower:
The South Dakota Republican party has floated rumors that Pat O’Brien is interested in moving back to South Dakota and running for governor as a Democrat. As an involved Democrat I have seen nothing to back this claim up.
Still, if there is even a chance, I want to squash his chances now. We don’t need a quack Hollywood guy ruining our party. The New York Post says Pat O’Brien has a sex scandal to worry about....
The New York Post? Tell me more...
PAT O'Brien, the host of "The Insider" who entered rehab on Sunday, has more to worry about than sexually explicit voice-mail messages. There's a photograph, too.
An impeccable Left Coast source says that O'Brien's girlfriend, "Betsy," has an ex-husband who is in possession of a "compromising photograph" of the mustachioed broadcaster pleasuring himself.
"There's also an e-mail Pat O'Brien sent to Betsy laying out the framework for [having] an affair," said our source.
"It's like a blueprint, something in his file that he has sent out before."
Betsy is described as an attractive blond mother of two daughters. "She left her Pasadena husband when Pat seduced her," said the family friend.
The ex-husband is said to be well-off financially, but he might let the photo be sold to one of the supermarket weeklies — because he doesn't like O'Brien. "He's finished with the divorce and he's moved on," said our source.
Betsy figures prominently in voice mails that were posted Monday on the Internet, in which a man who sounds like O'Brien is heard trying to coax an unidentified woman into a threesome.
"Let's have [bleep]ing sex and drugs and just go crazy," the voice says in one of three messages, most of which is repetitive and unprintably graphic. "You're [bleep]ing sexy, I want to go crazy with you."
"You are so [bleep]ing hot . . . my girlfriend is so hot, you are so [bleep]ing hot. Please leave me a voice mail, leave me a voice mail. Bye."
In the third message, the voice says: "I am so [bleep]ing into you, but Betsy's so [bleep]ing jealous . . . I told Betsy you're into her and if you get this message just look at me and say yes. I want to [bleep] your [bleep] and get crazy. I don't know why I'm like this, but you have to be with Betsy, too."
O'Brien, who has one child with his wife, Linda, has taken Betsy out with him in public to many events over the past few months.
A spokesman for "The Insider" said O'Brien won't be coming back to the show "until he is better."
