Hyde’s been had, L.A.X just plain S.U.X., Les Deux might as well change its name to Les Deux NOT; the latest celebrity “it” place, miles from Melrose or the Cahuenga corridor, is better known for its padded walls than its drug-friendly unisex bathrooms; and straight-jackets are the new black. Because bug-fucked is the biggest buzzword for 2008. From Britney to the stars of network TV, insanity is HOT HOT HOT.

The latest to catch the crazy-craze? “Designing Women” star (it was a show, trust me) and plus-size fashion queen Delta Burke, who checked herself into a psychiatric ward to treat her chronic depression, OCD and “hoarding” (the reason your grandma’s house is filled with stacks of Reader’s Digest).

You’ll recall that last week Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers admitted himself into UCLA Medical Center to treat a “sleeping disorder” (yeah, I have trouble sleeping with a nose full of cocaine too). And of course Britney Spears has been smearing poop all over the asylum walls since mid-January.

Maybe Tom Cruise oughta lay off his anti-psychiatry tirades for a while. A lack of shrinks will shut down Hollywood faster than another writer’s strike.
