After weathering husband Michael Douglas’ battle with cancer, Catherine Zeta-Jones has checked into a mental hospital to treat her bipolar disorder (guess she’s not Bi-Winning like Charlie Sheen). According to ABC News this is what her publicist said:
After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II Disorder. She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week this week on her two upcoming films.
I sure hope one of those upcoming films is called Bipolar II, Electric Boogaloo.
My normal rule of thumb is this: If a celebrity says they are checking in for a known mental disorder, you can bet the diagnosis is something different. If they say it is for dehydration or exhaustion, it is for effects of starvation and/or drugs. If they say it’s for substance abuse, you can assume it’s pedophilia, or worse… But yeah in this case, I’m happy to believe Catherine is just bat shit crazy.
