Probably one of the most-used words in Hollywood -- aside from "scandal" -- is "rehab." It seems nearly every celebrity has sought treatment at one point or another, although reasons can vary from substance abuse to mental health to simply "undisclosed." <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/11/entertainment/chaka-khan-rehab/index.html">Singer Chaka Khan</a> entered rehab for "a dependence on prescription pain medications," according to her website.

MTV's "Total Request Live" may be a distant memory, but <strong>Mariah Carey's</strong> bizarre 2001 appearance on the program can't be forgotten. That year, Carey rolled onto the "TRL" set wheeling an ice-cream cart and wearing an oversized T-shirt, taking host Carson Daly completely by surpise. After the awkward interview -- during which Daly repeatedly asked her, "What are you doing?!" -- Carey went into rehab for what was initially described as an emotional and physical breakdown. The <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=125557" target="_blank" target="_blank">singer later clarified</a> that the only thing that was wrong with her was exhaustion.

<strong>Britney Spears'</strong> stint in rehab is now among the most famous, so it might be hard to consider this "surprising." But remember that, at the time, Spears' behavior was much more erratic, and the only thing that was certain was that she was going through some things. Before she "voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility" in 2007, Spears reportedly checked into Eric Clapton's Crossroads treatment facility in Antigua but left after just a day, headed to Florida and then infamously shaved her head.

"There are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge," she told Interview magazine in 2008. "But I don't care what people think. I just don't care. So I will neither confirm nor deny."
