Entertainer Marie Osmond confirmed to Larry King that her 16-year-old son, Michael, has entered rehab. The 48-year-old "Dancing with the Stars" contestant told King during a taped interview segment, which is set to air tonight, that her son has been in a rehab facility since last week. She said, "My son Michael is an amazing young man, shown through his courage in facing his issues. As his mother, I couldn't be more proud of him. The press and public have always been kind and gracious in the past and I know they will continue to respect our privacy during this time."  
  
The reason for the rehab was not released. Michael is one of Osmond's eight children with her ex-husband Brian Blosil.
