Richie Sambora is the latest celebrity to enter rehab.

*People* magazine is reporting that Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora is currently undergoing treatment in a rehab facility. There is no information on what caused him to enter the treatment center. His rep confirmed the news saying, "Richie Sambora has entered an undisclosed treatment facility in Los Angeles. He asks that you respect he and his family's privacy at this time."  
  
The 47-year-old musician has recently been in the news for his high profile romances. For eleven years, he was married to actress Heather Locklear. The divorce became official in April. Sambora had been dating Locklear's former best friend, Denise Richards, shortly after the split in 2006, but the romance fizzled in March.  
  
Bon Jovi's latest album is set to be released June 19. The band is scheduled to begin touring June 24. There is no word on how Sambora's stint in rehab will affect the band.
