It was another crazy week in pop culture, Brandeis. A well-known television journalist revealed that she will seek treatment in rehab, two actresses announced their pregnancies in very different ways and a former boy-band star finally tied the knot. Last Wednesday came with revelation that ABC's 20/20 co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas has checked in to rehab for alcohol abuse. Vargas, 51, confirmed the news to People Magazine in a statement, saying that she "realized [she] was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol," adding that she "feel[s] fortunate to have recognized it for the problem it was becoming." In recent weeks, Vargas had been conspicuously absent from the news program, given her most recent appearance was earlier in October. ABC also confirmed a New York Daily News report that claimed Vargas has been in a treatment facility for some weeks now.
