Brigitte Nielsen in Rehab

If you watched even one episode of her season on The Surreal Life, you had to see this coming. Flavor Flav's former love (and Sylvester Stallone's ex-wife), Brigitte Nielsen, has checked in to rehab after her family staged an intervention. The actress, who was seen frequently boozing it up on the VH1 reality show in 2005, reluctantly agreed to go for help after her new husband, Mattia Dessi, begged her to sober up.

A source says, "It took an ultimatum from her family to get through to Brigitte - either she gets help or she loses her loved ones' support." Her manager confirms the actress is in rehab, stating "Brigitte's getting the help she needs and has a positive attitude about her recovery."

We wish Brigitte the best and hope Flav brings her a big giant clock to count all of her sober minutes, hours and days to come.
