"He was uncomfortable with the way that he was living his life and found the courage to deal with his disease," publicist Susan Patricola said in a statement Tuesday. Phoenix, 30, voluntarily entered an unnamed rehab facility two weeks ago and hoped that coming forward will encourage others with the same problem to get help as well, Patricola said. Phoenix starred in 2004's "The Village" and was nominated for a supporting actor Oscar for his portrayal of Commodus in 2000's "Gladiator." He will portray Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line," due out later this year. His brother, River Phoenix, died of a drug overdose in 1993 outside The Viper Room in Los Angeles.

'Wizard of 0z' dress up for bids SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A blue-and-white gingham dress worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz" has gone on display at Bonhams Butterfields in advance of an auction in London. Bonhams said the dress, which also will be displayed in Los Angeles prior to the sale, could fetch from $50,000 to $70,000 at the April 26 auction.

The auction house didn't identify the previous owner.

Other items featured in the auction of rock, pop and film memorabilia include John Lennon's handwritten lyrics for "Revolution" and a jacket worn by Mick Jagger.

The "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune" creator will be honored by the Museum of Television Radio at its annual New York gala on May 26. The event will be held at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. "Merv Griffin is a unique force in the world of entertainment and media, combining his talents as a singer, performer and television personality with his skill as a business leader and entrepreneur," museum President Stuart N. Brot-man said in a statement Tuesday. "He's truly a living legend." Griffin, 79, began as a 19-year-old radio singer.

His pseudo-Cockney interpretation of "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" sold 3 million copies in 1950. He was often a substitute host on the "Tonight Show" before Johnny Carson took over, and later had his own long-running daytime talk show. Past gala honorees include Alan Alda, Tom Brokaw, Sid Caesar, Mary Tyler Moore and Jerry Seinfeld. Logo has two original series that will be ready this summer. One is "Noah's Arc," about a black gay screenwriter from California and his friends, and the other is "My Fabulous Gay Wedding," a comic makeover reality show.

Otherwise, Logo will rely heavily on movies and documentaries until it is better established. Logo has acquired the rights to films such as "Angels in America" and "Moulin Rouge," and has documentaries about a gay rugby team in Chicago and the gay rodeo circuit "It will be programmed to the sensitivity of a basic cable audience," said Nicole Browning, president of MTV Networks' affiliate sales and marketing unit Logo's ride to reality hasn't exactly been smooth. It spent years on parent company Viacom's back burner, and already has seen its starting date postponed from February. This year's delay was partly to get more programming in place but also was because it only had agreements to be in 2 million to 3 million of the nation's nearly 110 million television homes. Browning was quoted recently as saying she had found some resistance to the idea of a gay and lesbian network in meetings with cable or satellite providers.

One executive threatened resignation if Logo were AP photo Here television is one of three new networks that hopes to tap into gay and lesbian viewers. Above, Here TV founder and CEO Paul Colichman. NEW YORK Three new TV networks catering to gay and lesbian viewers 'are trying to establish themselves and all say they support one another at least publicly. Competition breeds interest and shows doubters the business is viable, said Frank Olsen, president of the Television Network. He once applied the same theory when he owned four gay and lesbian bars near each other in Seattle.

"I think there's room for all three of us," said Olsen, whose network is the underdog of the trio. "We're different types of channels, just like you have ABC, NBC and CBS," Sure to be the most visible is MTV Networks' Logo, scheduled to start as a basic cable network on June 30. and Here are both pay services operating now and available to a limited number of viewers. The gay and lesbian community has been underserved by the media and these channels are long overdue, said Damon Romine, entertainment media director for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. "There's definitely an audience out there that is hungry to see their stories being told," he said.

She said Logo will begin in 10 million homes, a significant percentage of the roughly 45 million homes with digital service.

Logo isn't trying to reach analog homes. Political trepidation is one of the reasons Paul Colichman, Here's CEO, believes his business plan is superior. Interested viewers can subscribe to Here full time, for an evening or for individual programs. "Unless you want the channel, you don't receive it," he said. Colichman claims ownership.
