Dr. Phil Talks Ted Williams Into Rehab

Honey-voiced homeless man Ted Williams is entering rehab -- at the urging of "Dr. Phil" McGraw.

According to the nypost.com story, Williams got into a shouting match with his estranged daughter Monday -- and was briefly taken to a Hollywood police station -- will enter a "private" rehab facility after speaking to McGraw for an on-camera interview airing on today's "Dr. Phil".

It's the third consecutive TV sitdown McGraw has had with Williams this week.

Williams, an alcoholic and drug addict who descended into a life of homelessness, became an instant viral-video sensation when a newspaper reporter posted a video showing him speaking in his dulcet tones.

Since the story broke, Williams has been barraged with job offers but is having trouble dealing with his sudden fame.

His family members (ex-wife and kids), who are also interviewed by McGraw, say he's been drinking again, which caused his verbal dustup with his daughter.

There's no word on which rehab facility Williams will enter -- or when he'll go.
