Resident Jersey Shore douche Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino checked in rehab earlier this month for “exhaustion,” what with the taxing life he leads and everything. Radar Online says:

Sorrentino’s rep [said]: “He is not in rehab for substance abuse. He has spent the last several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule.”

A source close to the reality star says, “Mike is focusing on recuperation after a very long trip through Australia and getting rested up for season six. His friends and family know where he is, he just wants to get away from the public and be on his own for a bit to relax.”

So, in essence, he’s taking a vacation from his fucking vacation of a life. Waxing and blow-drying and bronzing must be a lot more physically demanding than any of us ever realized. I just hope he can conjure up enough strength to pull through this. Talent like his should never be compromised.

UPDATE: So it is pills after all. Pills for his exhaustion, i.e. Adderall.
