Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Mary Carey!

Okay, you guys, so I totally missed Celebrity Rehab on VH1 when it aired originally, but they were doing a marathon last night and I watched the first couple of episodes. The show is both totally addicting and totally unwatchable. Like, if I have to listen to Daniel Baldwin’s holier-than-thou attitude one more time I’m going to smack him across the face with his Big Book. What the fuck are you even doing there, buddy? Inspiring another alcoholic, my ass. You’re there to rub your year and a half of sobriety into the faces of everyone who’s still struggling, so shut up. And what the hell kind of rehab detoxes 10 patients at once? That’s insanity. And Jeff Conway? Should have detoxed in a hospital for a few days first, then came to rehab. They just had him show up at the rehab for a few hours so that they could dramatically wisk him away to the hospital in an ambulance. It didn’t take a fucking “addictionologist” to see from minute one that that guy was gonna have to detox in a hospital. So shit like that pisses me off. Like we’re risking these people’s health for a little extra drama, and that’s nauseating.

I have, however, totally fallen in love with Mary Carey. She has a vulnerability and pureness about her that’s just so sweet. (I know, I know, she’s not exactly “pure” in the traditional sense, but she’s still kind of wide-eyed and open to life, and that’s attractive.) I love love LOVE that she brought her freakin’ dildos to rehab. And I love even more that they took them away! And Mary’s like “I can’t masturbate?? What if I get horny??” I just adore her and find myself totally rooting for her. Now, I’m not sure what happens later on in the series, or if she stays sober, but I sure was excited to see her looking great at the InTouch Weekly Summer Stars party in LA.

  • I don’t want to ruin it for you, Beet, but Daniel Baldwin shows his true colors…

  • I too got caught up in the Celebrity Rehab reruns of late, and am so hooked! I too thought it was so sad that they took Mary’s vibrators away. I understand not being allowed to have sex with other patients, but a girl’s gotta have *something*.

    Also, I went on to wikipedia to find out how everyone turns out, and my boyfriend accused me of cheating – “now you know who wins”. I had to explain to him that this may be the first reality show that we’ve watched that they’re not actually competing for cash and prizes… I still don’t think he believes me.

  • We watched every episode as it ran. loved it, and it was great to see the successes. Brigite was my fave – and Mary. Keep watching, Beet, I think you’ll love how it turns out for Daniel! : )

  • I was completely addicted to that show when it was on, I even told my mom, “My new addiction is a show about addiction.” I loved it! And, seriously, hold out for the reunion. After watching everythng that those people go through in rehab, seeing them after they left the facility and hit the real world really was touching.

  • I really don’t know much about Mary Cary but how can they TAKE AWAY her DIDLO!!?? That’s just wrong! She’s obviously in rehab trying to better herelf and their just going to take the only thing that can make her happy away lol.

    By the way Mr/Ms Evil Beet, I love your site!!
    I would LOVE to see a pic of you.
    I’m torn between you and Perez Hilton. You and Perez should join together and make a t.v show(I would SO watch!)
    MOVE OVER HILLS LOL

  • God she looks awesome here! That hair cut makes her totally look like Mary Ellen….. Which, Beet, you really should be referring to her as that… but I guess you haven’t gotten that far. Her whole story completely devestated and inspired me. But WTF is that chick from Full House doing there? I mean really…. give me a very large break.

    BTW… Beet, have you gotten to any of the “reveals” from them yet? I don’t want to spoil anything…. but some are shocking and horrifying.

  • Aww Mary Ellen … I liked her so much on the show. I was really pulling for her and the little idol reject girl (jessica?) anyhoo. She looks great!

  • I say that’s criminal, how dare they take away her pacification for whatever other problem she may be enrolled for.

    So, how’s that no-smoking going????
    (I thought so, it must be brutally tough!)

    I agree with Karen above (except the Perez part, I think he needs someone to help him dress- for a start!), but I’d love to see a pic of you!?!?

  • She looks soooo great in that pic. I watched the show when it 1st ran. I was rooting for most of them too. I don’t know why these girls think those ridiculas extentions look good. I don’t ever think that they do.
