You’ve got no one to blame for your unhappiness (no, baby!). You got yourself into your own mess… Let your worries pass you by. When Chynna Phillips sang these words in the 1990 classic “Hold On,” who knew they would sort of apply to own situation two decades later? As this former member of the all-female group Wilson Phillips checks herself into rehab this week, there’s just one difference between these lyrics and her personal crisis: Chynna can pretty much blame half-sister of Mackenzie Phillips for all her issues. Last September, Mackenzie told the world about her incestuous sexual relationship with her father. The ramifications of that announcement have led Chynna’s manager to release the following statement: “After much thoughtful deliberation Chynna Phillips has checked herself into an undisclosed treatment facility for anxiety. With the full support of her family and friends, she is looking forward to her recovery. We ask that people respect her and her family’s privacy at this time.” Chynna released a new album in the fall of 2009. She’s married to Baldwin brother Billy, who will soon appear on Gossip Girl in the role of Serena’s father. A friend says Chynna is not receiving help for drugs or alcohol, but for “a combination of things. She hasn’t been the same since the summer.” We hope she gets better and we’d like to honor the singer by asking readers to check out her classic video below. It ought to serve as inspiration for Chynna as she struggles to overcome these demons. Hold On
