Larry King's Wife in Rehab for Painkiller Abuse

Which, I mean... I think I would be too, you guys.  Seriously, look at this picture and tell me you don't to fire back something strong chased with something stronger.

Shawn Southwick King, Larry King's latest (and SIXTH) spouse, is in rehab at some undisclosed but certainly schmancy clinic for painkiller abuse related to her chronic migraines.  (Hey!  I have chronic migraines; I hadn't considered this as a possibility... hmm... someone call Cirque Lodge and find out if "MamaPop blogger extraordinaire and formerly mildly popular LJ user" counts as a celebrity for their purposes, will you?  I have insurance!)

From Page Six:

TALKMEISTER Larry King’s stunning TV-personality wife, Shawn Southwick King, 48, has gone into rehab for addiction to painkillers. King, 74, has been married to Southwick, his sixth wife, for 10 years and they have two children together. A friend of King’s confirmed to Page Six, “Shawn is in rehab for medication issues related to her chronic migraine problem.” CNN declined to comment.

Ugh.  Even thinking about being married to Larry King - and... shudder... spawning with him - is giving me a bit of a migraine.  Pass me that Vicodin, Rush!  Oh god.  And now the nausea is kicking in.  I have to stop talking about vile old dudes right NOW.

And the idra of mating with Larry King just pretty much made my Honey Bunches of Oats creep back up my gullet. Thanks, Angela!

I wish I could bottle self-respect like Purple bottles antioxidants. Some of the celebs need a good dose. Or two. Or thirty.

I have chronic migraines as well. You get medicine for them but sadly it's not painkillers.

BG, we should compare drugs! I've been a neuro/pharmacological guinea pig for the last year or so. :P

It is ridiculous how easy it is to get painkillers. I know so many people who suffer from chronic pain, and their dr.s practically throw serious meds at them. So stupid.
