Just like we predicted, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is off the wagon and back on the sauce. These paparazzi photos catch the alchol-addicted actor chugging a Strongbow in a London street just hours after his mother passed and only two days after being arrested for an alcohol related offense in Dublin.
In a terrible turn of events, this morning, Rhys Meyer's made a malapropos appearance on The View to promote August Rush. According to the hosts, the show was live, meaning Rhys Meyer's was in good spirits despite his recently deceased mother. But now this from The View's PR man: "It was taped on Monday Nov. 12th." As our sisters at Jossip said, "Ah, the perils of pre-taped episodes."
Just two days after he was arrested for public drunkenness, Jonathan Rhys Meyers must now cope with the death of his mother, Geraldine Meyers-O'Keeffe. Meyers-O'Keeffe, 50, passed away Tuesday in Cork, Ireland after suffering from a "short illness."
This news does not bode well for twice-rehabbed Rhys Meyers' recovery.
Today's winner of the Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross Memorial Award for Quickest Capitalization on the Misfortunes of Others goes to this shill, who e-mailed us just moments ago to try and get free advertising for a magazine story on recently arrested alcoholic Jonathan Rhys Meyers:
Hi,
In light of the news that Jonathan Rhys Meyers was arrested and charged with public drunkenness, I wanted to send you the following quote and see if you’re able to post the [redacted] Holiday cover (on newsstands now) alongside any coverage?
JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS TO [redacted]: “I didn’t drink until I was 25, and I never drank every day, but when I did, it was bad. It would be a couple of days that just wouldn’t work out for me, waking up with a hangover. Drink doesn’t fit into the groove of where my life is going.”
Full interview here: [redacted]. Please link to www.[redacted].com.
Thanks!
[redacted]
You're welcome!
Stabby Eyes Meyers was arrested in Dublin Airport on Sunday for public drunkenness and breach of peace after exhibiting "'erratic, abusive' behavior at an airport gate and an airline desk…" That's bad, but it gets worse: "Rhys Meyers told the AP back in 2006 that he 'would never drink again' to help preserve his career." Oops!
It's important to note how quickly seductive can become menacing.
After the jump, more from the August Rush premier.

Interesting. So this "mentally challenged" kid at your high school got laid a lot, then?
More after the jump.

What, I prithee, is this in which you partake? Snuff that requires not preparation? And what? The juice of beans harvested from vast forests inhabited by savages? Styro-how? I'll not believe it, you base dunghill villain. Thou art false in all! Were thee not King, thou would certainly face worshipful consequence for such dissemblage.
Now let me be, I must off to defecate before shooting again commences.
More from the The Tudors set after this.

Where there's French bread there's French cheese. And where there's French cheese—I think you know where this is going—there's French wine. Anyone who's lived in LA knows Bristol Farms' wine purveyors scoff at even the idea of Ralphs. Where's the Syrah, Jonathan? We all know there's no better way to celebrate The Tudors' amazing ratings than with some nice tipple.
No? Nothing? Just that Coke? Well then, good for you! Keep wearing that mala. It's easily counterfeited and probably useless, but whatever helps.

The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers checked into rehab today. People has the details:
"After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program," rep Meredith O'Sullivan says. "He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery."
He needs "a break"? Is this what rehab has devolved into in Hollywood? It's become so common that people go there like it's a fucking Club Med?
Rehab isn't "a break." It's a step toward a lifestyle completely different than the one maintained prior to entering treatment. If you want "a break," go to Saudi Arabia for a week or two.

As a few readers pointed out, clothes don't necessarily make the man, especially when that man is very handsome. So I was willing to give Jonathan Rhys Meyers a second chance. But then, at last night's The Tudors premiere, he had to go and be so embarrassed about being short that he stood on his tippy toes through an entire red carpet session. Yikes.
Jonathan, the camera doesn't lie. Neither do exhausted, aching calves. Right now both of them are calling you a self-conscious baby.

Sure he's handsome, but he's also in a pre-faded Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie. Thus, upon being drawn in by the Siren's songs that are his eyes, prepare to be shipwrecked into the sharp crags of his shopping habits.
At least he'd be fun to be seen with while 17-year-old, Aryan lacrosse players in suggestive t-shirts are trying to sell you shorts that come with a built in belt; just try not to puke all over the "destroyed denim."
