Elizabeth Vargas Is In Rehab

If you have been wondering where Elizabeth Vargas has been hiding herself the past few weeks it is rehab. So give yourself a star if you had that in your pool. You probably didn't notice that the 20/20 anchor is even missing. Heck you probably didn't even know that 20/20 was still on the air. Remember that is where Geraldo Rivera made his fame. Barbara Walters started hosting that show back when she was in her late 80's and that was three decades ago.

Elizabeth says her drinking got out of hand and decided to seek help. She has been in rehab for a few weeks and will stay until she gets through at least thirty days. It is tough for an anchor to walk away from a show to get help for drinking because you never know if there will be a job when you return.

Elizabeth is married to Marc Cohn which provides an opportunity to pay tribute to one of the greatest one hit wonder songs ever, Walking In Memphis.

I think we've all been wondering where Elizabeth Vargas was.

I haven't thought of anything else since hlast episode.the mystery is just eating away at my insides

Harry Knuckles said...

I don't know how recent that picture is, but she's a good looking girl for 51. And if the rehab doesn.t stick, I'll drink with her.

I can't snark on her. I've got 7+ years sober myself, so I know how hard of a decision this had to have been for her. Although I'm wondering if her drinking started when her husband was shot.

Oh, and "True Companion" was a HUGE wedding song back in the early 90s.

Good for her! Good for you, too, Pogue, sister sober here, too, but with far less time after falling off the wagon for a couple weeks back in June.

Oh, I'm sorry...am I oversharing? ;)

Meanie Rhysie said...

Stew, not Pogue...my apologies!

Drinking to excess doesn't look good on a woman her age. No woman really. Just worse on older women. It's the kind of thing that keeps women sober!

Sherry said...

Congrats Stew and Meanie.

Wait Mark got shot? Gotta go look that up. Wow, didn't know

AKM said...

I was wondering if there was a connection to the stress of her husband being shot as well. Best wishes to her.

Rhody said...

He was shot a long time ago. I think it was a robbery, not a crazy fan. I like her. Good for her that she came out with it publicly. I wish her well.

StewMcG said...

Thanks, Meanie & Sherry.

And, yes, Sherry, Marc was a car jacking victim and was shot in the head. Lucky for him, the bullet didn't pierce his skull and he is fine now, but that had to have been a pretty stressful period for them.

JoElla said...

I have always liked her, and wish her well.

I remember when her husband was shot, and she was quite the trooper through it all (publicly)

@Harry - you are failing at being a troll. Vargas is 51 and has two kids, which in Harry land means she is flabby and wrecked, right? I think someone got tired of being skeevy and is showing us that they really just want to be loved. Do you need a hug, Harry? Too fucking bad because people who get boners from 13 year-old girls skeeve me the fuck out.

Brian said...

she's still hot with a great rack. Supposedly Dimaggio was all over her when he was alive. I'll toast one for her.

Meanie Rhysie said...

+1 @Lucas. Well said and with less profanity than I would use.

Fuck Harry : you said women were washed up around 30-35 you dick. And tend to have paedopholic tendencies. You give me fucking worms.

ktmonster said...

Good for her, hopefully her bosses keep a spot open for her, she certainly deserves to come back after facing her demons.

Harry Knuckles said...

I'm not surprised you've got worms but you didn't get them from me.

Unknown said...

_+_=_, yes because peeing your pants and vomiting makes older men look so much more distinquished

OKay said...

Fuck, I hate that song. Just had to get that off my chest.

Anna Katherine Nonymous said...

I love the Harry hate! You guys have me rollin here. I thought it was just me that couldn't STAND his evil comments.
