Antonio Banderas Explains Why Melanie Griffith Returned To Rehab
Antonio Banderas apparently decided to take the straightforward approach to explaining why his wife, Melanie Griffith, checked herself into rehab. He said Melanie had been sober for six years, but when she injured her knee a year-and-a-half ago in a skiing accident, she had to have three operations. Melanie was prescribed narcotics for pain management.
"In March, she came to me and said, 'I'm feeling a little bit weak in my determination for this ... so I just thought to go to rehabilitation by myself,' " Banderas said. "So the whole entire family is supporting her, and I am supporting her, and at this particular time more than ever. I'm very proud of her."
Antonio said the entire family is also participating in treatment to help Melanie during this process. He has some advice for families who may be dealing with the issue of addiction.
'Don't get embarrassed, just confront this problem head-on. And don't hide from that because there is a beautiful gift at the end of this tunnel, and it is the person that you love back, and that is what I am searching for.' "
What a wonderful attitude! Hopefully Melanie's treatment will be successful. You can watch Antonio's entire interview on the 'Ellen DeGeneres Show' today.

Celebrities Out With Their Children
Beautiful weather. Relaxing weekend. A few celebrities spent their Saturday afternoons with their little ones.
- Minnie Driver took baby Henry to Malibu Park for the day. He is just getting so big!
- Melanie Griffith and her daughter Stella went on a shopping spree at The Grove. Has anyone been shopping this weekend? INSANE! I bought my kids' entire summer wardrobe for under $300!
- Madonna and her children visited the Kabbalah Center in NYC. Lourdes is still showing off her unique style of dressing.
- Michelle Williams took her daughter, Matilda Ledger, for a scooter ride after picking up her morning coffee in Brooklyn.
I just noticed all the moms I wrote about in this post have names that start with the letter M. Yes, it's Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. This is about as breaking as it's going to get. LOL!!! ;)

Sharon Stone & Melanie Griffith At The Ivy
Sharon Stone and Melanie Griffith caused quite a stir as they dined at The Ivy and shopped on Robertson Blvd yesterday. Shut up! Seriously even though it's probably a publicity stunt a small part of me, (from the 90's) loves that they are together. :) Now if only we could some how get those two together with Rebecca De Mornay my dreams would come true.

Melanie Griffith At The Newsroom Cafe
Melanie Griffith looked beautiful in a red dress as she left the Newsroom Cafe in Los Angeles and was even nice enough to stop and sign a few autographs. I hope that envelope contains a new script for Melanie. I would love to see her in more stuff. Do any of you have a favorite Melanie movie? I know it's cheesy, but I've always liked, "Milk Money" and "Born Yesterday". :)
