Rush Limbaugh,

conservative commentator, announced in October that he's addicted to the prescription painkiller OxyContin. His former housekeeper reportedly told authorities that he was buying the drug on the black market. He sought rehabilitation at a treatment facility and returned to his radio show in November. The admission followed his resignation from ESPN as a sports commentator for Sunday NFL Countdown after making racially charged comments about quarterback Donovan McNabb.
