Pat O'Brien Out of Rehab - Into Junk Food

Pat O'Brien is out of rehab, but execs at "The Insider" are mum about his future.

Our spies spotted POB at Gelson's market in Pacific Palisades last Saturday. He looked painfully, painfully thin with sunburned skin -- "bordering on scorched" we're told. He loaded up on at least ten cans of Pringles and a bunch of bags of M&M's. At one point he was at the deli waiting for his number to be called, when a woman recognized him and started the whole "Oh my God," thing. Pat wanted no part of it and just bailed. Guess he didn't find it "so f***in' hot."

We called "The Insider" to find out if POB is coming back. A spokesperson told TMZ, "At this time Pat O'Brien is focused on his recovery and it's inappropriate to comment on rumors about the show."

17. HES EATING CANDY BECAUSE ADDICTS CRAVE FOR SWEETS. HES SKINNY BECAUSE ALOT OF TIMES ADDICTS WONT EAT. THAT COULD BE ANOTHER ADDICTION FOR HIM. ONE ADDICTION TO ANOTHER.

I HOPE HE DOESNT GO BACK TO WORK BECAUSE ADDICTS NEED TIME TO RELAX AND GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER.

GOOD LUCK

22. THIS GUY IS A DISGUSTING PIG, LARA IS BORIN AS HELL, AND BOTH ET AND THE INSIDER SHOWS SUCK THE BIG ONE! NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF BLOOD-SUCKING PARASITES FEEDING ON BAD NEWS AND SUPERFICIAL MOVIE CRAP. AND THEY KEEP SHOWING THE SAME PREVIEWS "OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN" TILL YOU WANT TO THROW A SHOE THROUGH THE TV SCREEN! NOW THEY HAVE THOSE TWO LOSERS DONNY AND MARIE HOSTING CONSTANTLY! THEY BOTH ARE SO OLD NEWS, AND NEITHER OF THEM CAN SING WORTH A CRAP! GO BACK TO UTAH AND HAVE MORE BABIES TO POPULATE YOUR EMPIRE WITH! I CAN'T STAND ANY OF THEM OR THE SHOWS AND I SPEAK FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE!
