Pill problem for ‘Popeye on crack’ Sitch

Despite Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s rep claiming he’s in rehab for “rest and recuperation” after an “extensive production and appearance schedule,” sources including a former “Jersey Shore” cast mate say he’s in for a drug problem. We’re told Sorrentino has dabbled in prescription drugs since becoming a star and checked into the clinic after an Australian tour. Saying the Sitch was like “Popeye on crack,” ex-cast member Angelina Pivarnick told us, “When he was on the show, he got in trouble for having prescription pills. We were filming in a club in Miami . . . one of the producers said, ‘Hey what was that?’ He had to give them up.” Asked if Sitch has a drug problem, his rep directed us to his Facebook page, where he says, “I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion. I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating.”
