Steven Tyler Attacks Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Drunk, Rumors,
Steven Tyler is holding practically nothing back in his book Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, sharing his opinions on reality TV, among many subjects. While recounting one of his stints in rehab, Tyler alleges that he observed some of the making of Celebrity Rehab, and the picture he paints is unflattering… to say the least.
Tyler claims that Steven Adler, a patient at Las Encinas (where Rehab is filmed) and former Guns N Roses member, was asked to fake his behavior for the benefit of the cameras. “They wanted him to act out his own messed-up state when he entered rehab. It was ghoulish and unreal,” Tyler writes. “They gave him 30 grand for the episode, he snorted it all, crashed his car, and he ended up in jail detox.”

Michael Lohan Joins Rehab Cast, Lindsay Shocked
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Television, Drugs, Drunk, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Dr. Drew Pinsky has stated that he wouldn’t want to treat Lindsay Lohan on his reality series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, but he’ll lend a helping hand to dad Michael Lohan next season. Reportedly, Michael has joined the cast and started taping... and sources say Lindsay is “upset” and “shocked.”
TMZ reports that Michael Lohan began filming the show without even telling his famous daughter, though she’s certainly got enough on her mind already.
The rest of the Celebrity Rehab cast is rumored to include Tareq and Michaele Salahi (the couple who allegedly crashed the White House), former Mets pitcher Dwight “Doc” Gooden, Chinese-American actress Bai Ling (The Crow, Anna and the King), Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch) and Michael Lohan.

Celebrity Rehab’s Jason Davis Facing Felony Drug Charges
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Drugs, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Jason Davis, one of the addicts on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, has definitely fallen off the wagon. Jason’s claim to fame is his grandfather Marvin Davis, an oil tycoon who owned 20th Century Fox from 1981 until 1985, when he sold it to Rupert Murdoch (so, now we know who to blame).
Davis has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance (heroin) following his January 27 arrest. At the time, he was charged with being under the influence of a controlled substance. He could face three years in prison if all charges stick. During the show, Davis was often at odds with fellow addict Janice Dickinson.

Dr. Drew Wouldn’t Treat Lindsay Lohan for Addiction
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Drugs,
Dr. Drew Pinsky has handled sex addiction, drug abuse and some of the most entitled celebrities ever to grace reality TV … but he’s not anxious to help Lindsay Lohan overcome her substance abuse problems.
“The only way I would take her is if she would agree to stay in treatment for one year,” he said in a recent interview with Popeater.
But Linds isn’t alone. Dr. Drew says he’d need the same amount of time with Charlie Sheen. “I do think my team could really help them in a special way, TV or not TV, but they need longer term,” he explained.
Dr. Drew is currently being featured on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab, which airs on VH1. Last week on that program, actor Jeremy London talked about the alleged kidnapping and forced drug abuse inflicted upon him. This week, fans are expecting to watch Janice Dickinson blow up at the staff and/or other patients … again.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Television, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Celebrity Rehab alum and former porn star Mary Carey, who was advised to leave the sex industry by Dr. Drew Pinsky, is making her big return to adult films. The way she’s doing so is…rather shocking.
According to TMZ, Carey is starring in Celebrity Pornhab with Dr. Screw. As you might have guessed from the title, this skin flick satirizes the VH1 show where Mary Carey first came to mainstream media attention (Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew).

Tom Cruise Riled by Dr. Drew
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Rumors,
Dr. Drew Pinsky, star of Celebrity Rehab and Love Line, has never been afraid to give a diagnosis. Vocal in his opinions but always clinical in his delivery, Drew has charmed many with his obvious caring nature - though it’s often couched in logic.
Even when you’re a celebrated man of medicine, you have to be careful when you talk Tom Cruise. Dr. Drew recently mentioned the actor’s name. Let the media back-and-forth war begin!
This all has stemmed from an interview with Pinsky which appears in Playboy magazine. Dr. Drew made this comment: “A lot of people in the public eye who behave strangely have mental illness we can learn from, and much of it is based on childhood trauma, without a doubt.” He continued: “Take a guy like Tom Cruise. Why would somebody be drawn into a cultish kind of environment like Scientology? To me, that’s a function of a very deep emptiness, and suggests serious neglect in childhood - maybe some abuse, but mostly neglect.” The tenor of the comments reflects Drew’s usual tone.
