At the same facility Tiger Woods was "rumored" to have attended when he was treated for his poon addiction in late 2009.

As you may have heard, Galliano was canned by fashion house Christian Dior for making anti-semetic statements (the guy apparently loves Hitler. Jews... not so much) while apparently drunk at a cafe in Paris.

Today, USA Today reports that, at the urging of his high-profile pals -- including models Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss -- Galliano is "rumored" to be going to rehab.

USA Today's rumor department goes further to say that he will do so at The Meadows, a facility in Wickenburg that's treated several celebrity junkies in recent years.

In December 2009, the rumor mill churned out reports that Tiger Woods was heading to The Meadows to treat his addictions to sex and various prescription drugs. The rumor mill, as is often the case, turned out to be wrong -- Woods attended a rehab center in Mississippi.

As for Galliano coming to the Grand Canyon State for rehab: we'll believe it when we see it.
