ROBIN WILLIAMS had been admitted into rehab for alcohol abuse.

Robin reportedly entered the residential rehab facility last month. On Wednesday, the 55-year-old actor's rep released the following statement: "After 20 years of sobriety, Robin Williams found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family. He asks that you respect his and his family's privacy during this time. He looks forward to returning to work this fall to support his upcoming film releases."

The beloved star has Hollywood rallying behind him. At an anniversary event for "Star Trek," LEONARD NIMOY and WILLIAM SHATNER were both saddened to hear of his relapse. "I'm very sorry to hear that, I wish him well," Nimoy said. "One day at a time."

"The tragedy of somebody having that allergic disease is profound," Shatner added. "It's awful for the person and their family."

Williams appeared recently on the big screen in the hit comedy 'RV' and in the psychological thriller 'The Night Listener,' based on the real-life experiences from Tales of the City author ARMISTEAD MAUPIN.

The comedian won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his dramatic turn in 'Good Will Hunting' opposite MATT DAMON in 1998, and received acclaim for numerous other films including 'Dead Poets Society' and 'The Fisher King'.

Q. What is one of the best possible things you San Diego DUI drivers can do to help to stop San Diego DUI Police from making so many San Diego drunk driving arrests?



The San Diego DUI answer comes from our lucky friends across the ocean.



From the State where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true
story from Carrick-on-Suir Ireland.



Recently a routine Gardai patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood
tavern. Late in the evening the Garda noticed a man leaving the bar so
intoxicated that he could barely walk.



The man stumbled around the car park for a few minutes, with the Garda
quietly observing.



After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man
managed to find his car which he fell into. He was there for a few minutes
as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.



Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine
dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then
switched on the lights.



He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then remained
stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left.



At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the
road.



The Garda, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol
car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried
out a Breathalyzer test.



To his amazement theBreathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having
consumed alcohol at all!



Dumbfounded, the Garda said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the
Police station this Breathalyzer equipment must be broken."



"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy".
