Ronnie Wood Rolls Into Rehab

Posted Jul 17, 08 5:24 AM CDT in Gossip 

(Newser) – Rapidly aging rocker Ronnie Wood has checked back into rehab—his seventh time—for help with his drinking problem, the Independent reports. The 61-year-old Rolling Stone returned to the UK to straighten out, apparently in a bid to save his marriage. He had fled to Ireland with a 19-year-old Russian cocktail waitress. Woods had been drinking two bottles of vodka daily and his troubles were "all booze-connected," said a source.
