Homeless ‘DJ’ to enter rehab

Ted Williams agreed to enter a private facility after a lengthy one-on-one interview with Dr Phil McGraw, a spokeswoman for the show said.

Williams’ wife and family will also appear to discuss what they call his persistent drinking and a disturbance last Monday at a Los Angeles hotel where police briefly detained Williams and his daughter after a heated argument.

Family members said the dispute was over Williams resuming drinking.

Williams, 53, trained to be a radio announcer but found his life derailed by substance abuse and prison time in the 1990s.

Last week he found instant fame after The Columbus Dispatch newspaper posted a Web video of him.
