Looks like the Insider has been spending a little too much time inside the liquor store.

Things just keep getting worse for Pat O'Brien. On Sunday he issued this statement to the Associated Press and checked into rehab:

"I have had a problem with alcohol. I have decided to take action by checking myself into an intensive recovery program. Overcoming this problem is a top priority in my life, and I am excited to return to work as soon as I am able."

Everyone was wondering what prompted O'Brien to do this until this morning. A string of dirty voicemails where O'Brien expresses his desires for cocaine, hookers, and wild sex have been leaked all over the internet. It's clearly his distintive voice in the voice mails and his reps do not deny that O'Brien made the calls.

Maybe it's time O'Brien got things under control. Here's a list of lessons learned for old Patty O.


LESSONS LEARNED BY PAT O'BRIEN

Before leaving Access Hollywood in summer 2004, O'Brien sent out a drunken email critiquing his co-hosts including Nancy O'Dell. The email was promptly followed by a public apology and an admission of a drinking problem.

Lesson #1 for Pat O'Brien: If you write an email while intoxicated, sober up before hitting the send button.

After leaving Access Hollywood, O'Brien got his own entertainment gossip show called the Insider. At first it looked like O'Brien got his drinking under control. However, he apparently decided to get drunk, do a few lines of cocaine and leave a string of dirty voice-mail messages all over the place.

Lesson #2 for Pat O'Brien: If you are "horny" and doing illegal drugs, don't call everyone in your address book and tell them. You are a celebrity damn it! Especially don't leave voice mail evidence that can be recorded and leaked all over the internet.
