Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, ABC, Gossip, News,
Somebody call Peter Krause quick. It looks like a Darling might need some help…
In a case of life imitating art, a Dirty Sexy Money star has called on her reps to smooth over a private matter. Via a vague statement released by her publicist, we’ve learned Samaire Armstrong (Entourage, The O.C.) has admitted herself into treatment for undisclosed reasons.
