Uh oh. Could all the partying on "The Jersey Shore" finally have caught up to star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino?
Sources told TMZ that the reality personality is at an inpatient treatment program for substance abuse. His rep confirmed to our pals at Us Weekly, "He has spent the past several weeks at an undisclosed location for much needed rest and recuperation after his extensive production and appearance schedule." But the rep denied reports that the Sitch is getting help for drug or alcohol abuse.
Another source echoed the rep's words to Radar Online, saying, "His friends and family know where he is, he just wants to get away from the public and be on his own for a bit to relax."
The Situation may be trying to unwind a bit between seasons, but where ever he is, he seems to be staying on top of the latest "Shore" news. "Don't believe everything you read or hear," he tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
As for that R&R, he better get it while he can. MTV announced Monday that it's renewing "Jersey Shore" for a sixth season, which is set to begin production this summer -- and that means more work (and probably partying) for The Situation and his pals. Or he could just chill with pregnant co-star Snooki, who says she won't be living at the "Shore" house.
