“Grey’s Anatomy” star Eric Dane, aka handsome rake Dr. Mark “McSteamy” Sloan, checked himself into rehab today to deal with an addiction to painkillers. Radar Online says:
His spokesperson confirmed the 30-day stint and told Star: “Actor Eric Dane voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work next week.”
With filming starting back up on his ABC show and his wife Rebecca Gayheart pregnant with the couple’s second child, Dane had far “too much to lose” if he slipped, according to a family friend.
“Eric felt things spiraling out of control and decided he needed to get some help,” the source [said].
I feel this is a good time to point out that god damn this man is a fine piece of ass. It would be wrong and selfish of me not to post like ten pictures of him without his shirt on. All I need to do now is photoshop my own ass over the bongos he’s playing in these photos and my flipbok of Grey’s Anatomy-themed erotica will finally be complete!

If your wife does so many drugs because she’s guilty about running down and killing a kid in her SUV, you’d probably have to do some just to keep up with her.
Painkiller addiction? LOL, how stupid do they think we are? Its an euphemism for being a coke&meth head. They shouldnt have had kids, period.
Pregnant with a SECOND child? They should give it to the Cruz family.
For those of you not familiar:
“On June 13, 2001, Gayheart struck and fatally injured nine-year-old Jorge Cruz, Jr. as he walked across a street in Los Angeles. According to the police report, the child was returning home from school when he ran across a street. When vehicles in front of Gayheart stopped for Cruz, the actress drove around the stationary cars by pulling into a two-way left-turn lane; in doing so, she struck Cruz as he crossed the street. He died the next day at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital.
“His parents, Jorge Cruz and Silvia Martinez, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her on August 6, 2001, seeking coverage of medical and funeral expenses, and compensation for loss of future earnings. Steven Lerman, the lawyer representing Cruz’s parents, alleged that Gayheart was talking on a cell phone; the actress’s attorney Marty Singer adamantly denied the claim. The civil action was settled out of court, and settlement terms were not disclosed.
“In October 2001, Gayheart was involved in another auto accident when she flipped her rental car into two parked vehicles. No one was injured and no charges were filed. Her father attributed the second accident in part to her anxiety over the first accident and resulting criminal case. Her father said that he and Gayheart’s mother did not want her to drive any longer.
“On November 27, 2001, Gayheart pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter. She was sentenced to three years’ probation, a one-year suspension of her license, a $2,800 fine and 750 hours of community service. She was also ordered to make a public-service announcement warning of the dangers of not stopping when other vehicles in front have stopped.”
