Actor Burt Reynolds looks frail after checking into – and then out of – a Florida rehab facility with a painkiller addiction. The screen legend, 73, blames his addiction on the effects of back surgery.

Coincidentally, my own addiction to pain pills was the direct effect of watching Burt Reynolds in Cop and a Half.

I'm pretty sure that Burt Reynolds is the oldest celebrity to ever go into rehab.No wait,Larry King was addicted to Coca Cola when it still had cocaine in it.My bad!

Burt Reynolds checked into Florida drug rehab facility last week for what his publicist said was an addiction to pain killers. The 72 year old actors equally famous 70's porn style mustache also entered rehab for what is publicist said was an addiction to Burt Reynolds.

 Actor Burt Reynolds has checked himself into a rehab facility in West Palm Beach to be treated for an addiction to painkillers.  His new movie is rumored to be titled "Bandit and the Pusher" with Rush Limbaugh as the Pusher.......

I am glad to see Newsweek using sex to promote the magazine(Sarah Palin cover).  The awful covers of the past were the most unattractive containing the ugliest people.  Now, I hope your highly trained publishing staff takes it to a new level.  Let’s have fold outs of Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Molly Ivin ( oops sorry, past away),  and of course Michelle!.  These could be done tastefully…like that Burt Reynolds fold out years ago.  In order to be politically correct, how about Senators Bird, Reed, and maybe even commentators such as Keith Olbermann.  He is always looking for ways to promote himself-look at Sunday Night Football (talk about odd ball-it's like having Bozo in a discussion with scientists on Global Warming). I would add Limbaugh and some others, but they are not good looking enough for your high quality publication.  I suggest sticking to Liberals, The Beautiful People! Why, maybe your editors could win the Nobel Peace prize for Literature using sex.  After all, sex is true peace!   Gene Stray
