If nothing else, Eric Roberts sure has a sense of humor about his stint on Celebrity Rehab.

As you may have heard already, Roberts checked himself into Dr. Drew Pinksy's reality show to help him conquer his battle with marijuana.

So how did his treatment go?

We'll let him tell you…

"I have never walked down a red carpet without being stoned in my life until tonight," he told us at last night's Hollywood premiere of his new movie, The Expendables.

When asked how does it feel to be sober, he beamed, "How does it look? Kiss me!"

And he meant it—Roberts then proceeded to kiss our very own Brett Malec on both of his cheeks. We kid you not!

And the good times didn't stop there. "The only weird night was when Jeremy London got naked and wouldn't get dressed," Roberts joked about Celebrity Rehab (at least we think he was joking). "He said, ‘I'm not getting dressed till you turn off the cameras!' "

Did Roberts get along with everyone? We still don't know because Roberts cracked, "Mary Tyler Moore and I had a couple of disagreements about fashion." (No, MTM was never a part of Celebrity Rehab!)

The one moment he did get totally serious was when we asked how his daughter, teen actress Emma Roberts, felt about him doing the show.

He politely declined to comment.

Also at last night's premiere of the political action thriller were the movie's Sylvester Stallone (he directed and costars), Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Charisma Carpenter, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke, along with Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz.
