Eddie Munster Rehab drug addiction...??

Butch Patrick -- the guy who played the original Eddie Munster -- has checked himself into a New Jersey rehab facility to seek treatment for a 40-year addiction to cocaine, weed and alcohol. 


Patrick's rep tells TMZ ... the 57-year-old actor checked himself in to the rehab clinic Wednesday afternoon -- in an effort to "get a grip on his addiction and educate himself."

We're told Patrick's family has been pushing for the actor to seek professional help for roughly 30 years ... and are "very happy and supportive" of his decision.

Patrick's rep adds, "We have thought he could possibly be a product of the child star problem ... and are thankful he will take control of his fate.”

Construction Co. scammed my Church:Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson believes he and his mega-church were targeted by a scheming construction company -- in a diabolical plot to bilk them out of millions of dollars ... this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ. 


It's the latest in Gibson's nasty legal war with Ramage Construction Company ... which Mel had hired in 2000 on behalf of the foundation that owns his church in Malibu. Ramage had first sued Gibson earlier this year for failing to pay for a portion of the work they did.

But according to the new docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court -- Mel claims Ramage had a secret plan to scam the foundation by billing them for "hundreds of thousands -- if not millions -- of dollars of work at [the church] that was unnecessary or excessive."

In the docs, Mel claims Ramage screwed up elevators, sprinkler mains, electrical wiring and botched a generator installation ... among numerous other problems and deficiencies.

Gibson also accuses Ramage of trying to use the media against him -- stating that the company went public with the original lawsuit "in an attempt to intimidate and embarrass Mr. Gibson and his foundation into paying them even more unwarranted sums."

Emilio Masella to Vinny Guadagnino: Step Up!

Emilio Masella briefly dated Jersey Shore star Snooki, then went on to star in Tower 69: Malibu Beach Patrol Featuring 3-D Boobs, a Spencer Pratt film.
That's basically his life in a nutshell.
Suffice it to say, stardom hasn't come easily Therefore, he's trying to make news by fighting Vinny Guadagnino, who Snooki smashed on Jersey Shore.

Watch out, Vin. There's a gorilla juicehead on the loose.

Vinny is heading to Emilio’s home state of Connecticut for an appearance soon, and Emilio Masella is readying himself for a final showdown to get the truth.
“I can finally find out if your hook-up with Snooki was fake or planned,” Emilio tweeted at Vinny. “Like how u called n asked to fake a hookup so people would like you more, when we were dating before season 2 hmm? #USER.”
Pretty much says it all right there.
For what it's worth (very, very little), Emilio said he just wants to know the truth once and for all and feels this here is his opportunity to get it.
“Now it’s time to find out if it was fake or real,” Emilio explains to Radar. “Sadly, I really think it happened but I want him to be a man and admit that he had sex with my girl while I was with her. He was supposed to be my friend.”
“I’m connected in here, this is my home and I will be at Sin City Night Club in Water Bay November 26 and we’ll see if he has the balls to face me!”
We're guessing Vinny, as an actual quasi-celebrity, has other plans.

Kendra Wilkinson Clears the Air Over Playboy Confusion

Yes, Kendra Wilkinson is featured on the holiday cover of Playboy.
And, yes, this is the same Kendra Wilkinson who said a week ago that she would not be posing for the magazine again.
But, no, such an apparent contradiction does NOT make her a hypocrite. We'll let Kendra explain, via a blog entry from today:

I wanted to clear something up really quick! A lot of you saw on my show that I was struggling to decide whether to pose for Playboy again or not. I AM on the December cover of Playboy but it wasn’t from a recent shoot. The photos are from a shoot I did 2 years ago when I was still living in the mansion.

Ah, makes perfect sense now. Perhaps Kendra will next explain her definition of single parenthood, as ridiculously outlined in this interview.

Was Demi Lovato dating Wilmer Valderrama???

Wow! This guy just loves picking up these young troubled Disney girls!
Sources close to Demi Lovato are revealing that after her split from Joe Jonas, she started quietly dating Wilmer Valderrama, whom she met while filming a Chilean Earthquake Relief PSA!
The insider explains:

"The two started seeing each other in May right after her breakup with Jonas. She would show us pictures of them together."

Something about this makes us a little uncomfortable - especially because he's now 30!
We hope that he wasn't a contributing factor to her issues! That poor girl had enough going on!

JoBros Vs. Jason Mraz.....

It seems that the Jonas Brothers' Camp Rock 2 song Introduce Me sounds a LOT like Jason Mraz's I'm Yours.
So much so, that he commented on it, but legal action isn't in the cards!
Mraz said:

"I heard the song, and it was just a tremendous, tremendous horror of a tune. I noticed a few similarities in the melody, but it wasn't enough to pick up the phone and argue with somebody about it. If anything, I just wanted my $1.29 back that I spent on iTunes."

Wowsa! Do U think the JoBros stole the song?!

Hide you kids! Hide your wife! Hide your iPod! Antoine dodson releasing his first single....

Yes, it has come to this.
On last tonight's Lopez Tonight, the virtuoso that brought you the Bed Intruder song, Antoine Dodson, announced that he is in the midst of completing his first, original single!
Whoot, whoot!
He revealed to George Lopez that he's been working on the jam with his sister Lady Gaga as she is "proucing everything" for him. He added that the single, called Stupid, You So Dumb, is "continuous from the first song He Has Not Been Caught Yet, so please be alert."
Sage advice! And catchy title! We can't wait to here it!
P.S. Somewhere right now, William Hung is pitching a nasty fit that this guy stole his spotlight for a decade ago.
