Australian cowboy/Nicole Kidman arm candy Keith Urban
checked himself into rehab last night, canceling all appearances promoting his forthcoming album,
Love, Pain And The Whole Crazy Thing in the process. We're the first to admit that we don't know much about country music, but we're pretty sure that this news can't be good for Capitol Nashville, Urban's label.

And one of them looked kinda familiar!
