Gerard Butler Leaving Rehab Today: Biggest Celebrity Rehab Shocker?

He's one of Hollywood's hottest hunks, and you've probably seen him in "The Bounty Hunter" (with Jennifer Aniston) and other films. But Gerard Butler has been quietly receiving treatment for substance abuse at the Betty Ford Center, TMZ reports.

Sources tell TMZ that Butler, 42, started having pain management issues while shooting "300" in 2006, and things got worse in December when he was injured in a surfing accident. According to the report, Butler "realized he was relying too much on prescription drugs" and entered rehab three weeks ago. The star also reportedly developed issues with cocaine ... but he's scheduled to leave rehab today, according to TMZ.

It seems like celebrities are in and out of rehab all time time (we're talking to you, Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan), but Demi Moore also took us by surprise last month when she sought "professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health." We also didn't see it coming in 2008 when gorgeous actress Eva Mendes checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge to deal with "personal issues."

From Butler to Moore to "The Sixth Sense" star Haley Joel Osment, click through our slideshow and let us know: What was the biggest celebrity rehab shocker?

    Demi Lovato's rehab announcement came out of no where. She is one of the few Hollywood stars to complete rehab AND move on healthier and wiser than before. She is a role model for that. I have serious respect for her.

    I haven't got a clue who he is; but I do know that rehab is a growth industry now. The silliest one of all is Dr Drew Celebrity Rehab, which has a success rate of almost zero. I remember when junkies would get a few bottles of booze and lock themselves in for a few days; alkies would go to AA, and it worked. Now they go to rehab then to a Dr. who puts the final nail in their coffin. Show me an old junkie or old drunk, and I'll show you somebody who stays away from Drs.

    Wow I didn't even know he was adicted to pain killers, but at least he knew he knew he should go into rehab.

    Demi Lovato's announcement was going to happen eventually, some photographer was keen enough to notice her problems even before her own family. Not that I'm saying she's a bad person or anything, on the contrary, she's taken her negative experiences and turned them around into helping other girls who have been in her shoes to embrace themselves, and has set a good example herself.

    Do you even know what she was there for? Her eating disorder, bi-polar disorder, and cutting. She's the strongest person I know and we should have a lot of respect for her.

    Demi Lovato is still a role model, she is probably a better role model now that she has gotten help and became the strong confident and beautiful young lady that we see today. She has inspired so many of her fans she probably has more fans now because she is actually being herself. I love Demi Lovato and I think she is the bravest role model out there:) I would have someone who is real and say yeah I have flaws but that just makes me love myself even more than these fake ones who act all sweet and perfect and you find out they do drugs and are an alcoholic but they claim they are still little miss sunshine lol

    It's okay lol I love her new album so much it is so much better than her old ones. She was always pretty but now that she is healthy she looks gorgeous and I hate that people make fun of her weight. I don't think she looks fat and for people to make fun of her weight is awful. They are the reason she had an eating disorder! Makes me mad when people diss Demi she is way better than a lot of other singers out there :D Demi Lovato 2012
    Hopefully I will meet her someday she is one of my role models:)
