In the chaos that defines the world of show businesses, it comes as no surprise that celebrities, old and young alike, turn to desperate measures in order to cope with the stress and pressures of being in the limelight. Going into high-end rehabilitation centers seems to be a flourishing trend among the entertainment community today. Pop artist Britney Spears made headlines again in early 2007 when she shaved her head bald before checking into a treatment center based in Miami, Florida. Now, its former Desperate Housewives star, Jesse Metcalfe, who has found himself in a distressing situation, and in an attempt to battle his alcoholism, has entered a rehabilitation center located in Los Angeles. Among those who were shocked to hear about the news was his former Desperate Housewives co-star, Eva Longoria. Longoria got to know Metcalfe very well, and the fact that he has a serious drinking problem is contradictory to the person she remembers from the set. Nevertheless, the star has pledged nothing but support for Metcalfe, and is happy that he has decided to act responsibly. Metcalfe is also getting a lot of support from his girlfriend, Nadine Coyle, a member of the British female music group, Girls Aloud. Metcalfe and Coyle met in Australia in 2006, and has since then become a celebrity couple. They separated very briefly in November, and a few days before Metcalfe went to the rehabilitation center, rumors were flying that they had tied the knot. Coyle’s father, Niall, was also caught unaware of Metcalfe’s condition, and even thought that the young actor was not much of a drinker. In addition, Niall says that her daughter is extremely saddened about Metcalfe and is upset that she did not catch any telltale signs. Although Metcalfe rose to fame with his portrayal of handsome teenager John Rowland in the popular television series, Desperate Housewives, he first appeared in the small screen with a starring role in the soap opera, Passions. His other acting credits include Smallville, John Tucker Must Die and 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out.
