DICK CONFESSES TO FIVE-TIME REHAB STINT

US funnyman ANDY DICK has come clean about his alcohol problems, but insists his five stints in rehabilitation haven't stopped him drinking.

The OLD SCHOOL star appeared on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN on Friday night (24MAR06), confessing his past problems with booze.

He explained he has become a regular at his chosen rehab clinic, joking, "For me, they should set up a permanent cot there."

Appearing clean and sober, Dick told host David Letterman, "Right now, I'm feeling good... I think I'm almost there."

But he left the host concerned after revealing he hasn't given up drinking completely: "I have one glass of wine per meal."

Meanwhile, Dick pokes fun at his drinking problems in new low-budget movie DANNY ROANE: FIRST TIME DIRECTOR, in which he plays an oddball movie-maker attempting to work under the influence of alcohol.
