Gerad Butler in Rehab
Gerard Butler is being treated for substance abuse at the Betty Ford Center. Butler's problems were triggered by the physical demands of shooting "300" in 2006.  The actor began struggling with pain management, and the problem became exacerbated while filming "Of Men and Mavericks," when Butler was badly hurt on December 18 during a surfing accident. Butler realized he was relying too much on prescription drugs and decided to head off a full-blown addiction by entering Betty Ford 3 weeks ago. Butler also developed issues with cocaine, but the root problem appears to be the injuries and pain management.


Chris Brown Steals Fan's iPhone
Chris Brown faces new potential troubles with the law after allegedly snatching a woman's iPhone as she tried to snap his picture outside a Miami Beach nightclub. "B----, you ain't going to put that on no website," the singer, 22, angrily told the fan as he reached through his Bentley window around 4 a.m. Sunday and took the phone from her hands, according to a police report. No charges have yet been filed as the case remains under investigation. "My prosecutors are currently speaking with witnesses and reviewing all of the materials supplied by Miami Beach Police," says Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. "Only after these reviews have been completed would any type of action be considered or taken." The Miami Beach police incident report provided by Christal Shanae Spann accuses the R&B star of "robbery by sudden snatching" outside the Cameo nightclub. Brown was sentenced to five years probation after assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna before the 2009 Grammy Awards. The pair have become friendly again and recently collaborated on songs.


Brooke Mueller Charged with Felony Possession
Brooke Mueller has been charged with felony possession of cocaine with intent to distribute stemming from her December 2 arrest in Aspen, Colorado. Brooke has been charged with one count of having MORE than 4 grams of cocaine  ... but prosecutors have covered themselves by filing another count -- possessing LESS than 4 grams, in case there's a problem with the measurement. The amount of coke Brooke allegedly possessed determines the penalty ... if she's convicted.  For more than 4 grams, Brooke could face 6 years in prison.  For less than 4 grams, she'd face 18 months in prison.  But the reality is ... since she would be a first time offender, she'd almost certainly get probation. Brooke is also charged with assaulting a woman earlier that night ... which allegedly resulted in bodily injury.
