    Thank you. I know he appreciates everyone's concern. We're doing everything we can to help Jeff recover from both his addiction problem and his recent, 4th back operation.

      I didn't know how to talk about what is happening with Jeff so I am glad this topic is here now...

      Like Thorgim, I am saddened to see Jeff in his current condition. I met him in person one night when I stopped off at my local bar and he was very jovial and personable - a charming man. There he was "Zack Allen" from Babylon 5, a guy whose face I literally grew up seeing on tv. But I forgot, the people we see on tv and on the movie screen are human beings, with all of the faults and foibles any human being has. I don't pity Jeff because I truly believe he wouldn't want me to pity him, but I want him to get well. If being on this Celebrity Rehab show does help him then all of my best. I just don't want his pain being used to make ratings. That's my main concern.

    Don't forget, he was also Bobby on "Taxi."

        Jay,

        It sounds as though you may have some more 'direct' means of getting our thoughts and well wishes to Jeff (Wife & I've seen the show and how could you not feel for the guy). We'd love to express our hopes and good thoughts as directly as possible. What do you recommend?

        Thanks for the links too.

          MS - Hi. I think the best way is through his myspace, the one listed above. I've been teaching him how to use it and he's having fun replying to his fan mail... and hate mail. Here's another link to Jeff and Vikki's music myspace. myspace.com/vikkiandkenickie They got 6 songs up there from their new album if you wanna listen.

            Dude, what kind of hate mail could he possibly be receiving?? I can't think of any plausible angle on that.

              Oh, just name calling, insults, that type of thing in response to his performance on the show. Speaking of which, the new episode's starting right now. Lol, gotta go.

                I saw that last night.

                WOW.

                Holy crapola, I had no idea he'd been through that kind of childhood. Give him a hug from me a mine, damn. That's crazy stuff.

                What's his take on what we see vs what *really* happened? I know these shows skew things a touch.

                Much love to the Jeff.

                  There are some "out of context" lines/scenes on the show. I don't think Jeff minds as much as Vikki. They're portraying her pretty badly on the show and alot of it is due to the editing.

                    Looks like Baldwin is up next for villifying, from the tone of the teasers. Still makes me marvel how they can call these 'reality' shows when the situations are so often falsified or overblown.

                That's weak as hell people would give him flack. Whatever. Tell him to blog about those douchebags. We'll give them crap. I sent him a message via myspace. Hope it gives him a smile.

                  This is weird. From what I understand, apparently, there was a close up of one of Jeff's pill bottles on one of the Celeb Rehab shows which displayed his cell phone number and now complete strangers are calling him up. What's even stranger is that someone called 911 anonymously and sent a bunch of ambulances to our house saying that Jeff OD'd and was dying. They even broke the lock on the gate to get in. What the hell.

                    I hope that whoever is doing this is caught. Shouldn't be too hard to do, with 911 recording the caller's ID, and same for the phone company, etc. If he hasn't changed his cell number yet, time to do so. Everything else is reportable. Bust some ass!
