Why does Tiger Woods' alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel need Celebrity Rehab?

Despite reports that she will be treated for a pill problem, a source tells UsMagazine.com that she will seek help for her relationship woes. "Rachel is addicted to love," the source tells Us.

Uchitel was the first woman to be romantically linked to Woods. She later admitted having a "romantic relationship" with another married man, Bones star David Boreanaz. But after leaked text messages between the two hit the web, she issued a statement saying that the messages portrayed her in a false light (Boreanaz actually led her on, she said) and that she never "wanted to break up his family."

Uchitel -- who checked into the Pasadena Recovery Center Saturday to undergo 21 days of detox and treatment -- "has made some bad relationship choices and is being given the chance to deal with some issues," the source tells Us.

Adds the insider, "She is not an addict. She doesn't do drugs and isn't an alcoholic, but she does have problems with relationships. This is her chance to tell her story and show people another side of herself."

Also joining her: Party of Five alum Jeremy London, Janice Dickinson, Jason Wahler, former teen idol Leif Garrett, Frankie Lons (mother of singer Keyshia Cole) and oil heir/socialite Jason Davis.

Addicted to "LOVE"?!?!? Are we kidding? Was there really any love involved in her last couple of relationships with married men? I think she's addicted to being a fame *hore as well as an actual *hore. Just sayin'.

She's a horrible person...plain and simple.

If she really cared about being sober, they certainly wouldn't go on this show with Dr. Drew who has completely lost his credibility. Considering the fact that he is a horrible racist, I'm sure he'll end up tearing her a new one for humping Tiger. Part of the problem with these people is they are addicted to attention which is what Dr. Drew is giving them. He also has Janice Dickinson who has supposedly been clean and sober for years, but I guess she'll play addict for her umpteenth reality show. Sad she can't stay out of the spotlight for five minutes. And this one who goes after married men like Tiger and David. She needs to slink away with her tail between her legs. How about privacy? Dignity? What novel concepts.

She doesn't want her 15 minutes of fame to be up. Ummm, here's some advice, "Close your legs." Works wonders. There... problem solved... next.

Addicted to love? Are you kidding me? I think she's addicted to fame & being a *hore. Nothing more. Dr. Drew, enjoy your last show - you certainly don't deserve another one after this stunt.
July 20, 2010 - 9:10am Is that a man?
Heres her..."I didnt want to break up his family but her led me on"....what a lame @ss....now theres "mistress" rehab? puleeeeze...this is purely a platform for her

Addicted to love..cashing in on 15 minutes of fame, what a train wreck. And how long does it take her to realize she has an issue?

This is one ugly woman--INSIDE and OUT!

She's famous for what? sleeping w/ married men? wow! Women need to use their brains!

REALLY US! This is what you write about. A unhappy WH()RE , that makes a living preying on MARRIED MEN! THEN BLACKMAILING THEM.

This is really so sad and pathetic. I do not know this woman personally and probably do not have the rights to judge here but the media is not helping by publicizing her activities. Is it not bad enough that she's a home-wrecker?! She's addicted to love? Perhaps she can start by looking for it with men who are NOT married. Why is this news?!

The only "other side" of this tramp I want to see is her back side, as she walks away and NEVER comes back. Why do we give these people this much attention? She slept with married men and broke up a family!
July 19, 2010 - 11:26pm Lesson to all Oksana haters, this is a REAL gold digger!
Now this is a perfect example of a REAL gold digger. Acting like she's into the married guy & as soon as he gets busted, the luv is gone. Never cared about him 2 begin with. Hope she gets rehabilitated on celebrity "ho-hab"
