Jack Osbourne admitted a battle with drugs and depression in a recent interview with In Touch Weekly, saying that he tried to kill himself in 2003 with an overdose of prescription pills, including OxyContin and Valium.

The actor's publicist, Flo Grace, confirmed the rehab report, which first appeared on People.com.
She and Stein both declined to elaborate further.

"All of us at Showtime wish David and his family the best during this very private time," the network said in a statement.

Now that everyone knows his private matter, I'm sure we'll hear a different reason for his addiction...he was doing research for his role on "californication"!I still like him despite his situation!

AlKnows 12:04 PMAug 29 2008 He says he has a sex addiction problem, it doesn't automatically follow tat he cheated on his wife.>>>>>>>>>Sorry to break this to you, but that's what fornication means...consensual sex w/ someone that you are not married. I know... I know its so hard to believe that men can do this, but...who knew!

I am really having a hard time believing he is telling the truth. If he's asking for privacy for his family, this was obviously a dumb way to get it. And if he has any other kind of problem that needs attention, it would be much more fun to throw this out at the press. He's probably sitting back dying laughing. Koodos to him!

He's cheated on his wife and his "cover" for this, in order to avoid a divorce, etc., is that he has a "medical problem"--it's called "I can't keep it in my pants when I'm not home."

Sex addiction is not just about wanting to have sex all the time. It also includes pornography...which as we all should no, is very disgusting!!!!!!!!! There is nothing normal about watching other people have sex,
