The second season of Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab has begun filming in Pasadena, CA.
The new “cast” includes: Rodney King, Nikki McKibbin, Tawny Kitaen, Steven Adler and Sean Stewart.
Plus: Jeff Conaway is back for yet another round of rehabbin’ and Gary Busey will sign on in the Daniel Baldwin role, since Gary claims 13 years of sobriety.
By the way, yes, you read that right. Somehow or other, Rodney “Can We All Get Along?” King became a member of the Celebrity Rehab cast. Genius, genius, genius.
I continue to be disgusted by the fact that these people are willing to go through rehab for a national audience just for another shot at the spotlight. If there’s anything more potent to an addict than alcohol and drugs, it’s clearly fame. You cannot effectively treat the alcohol and drug problem while encouraging the most destructive symptoms of the fame addiction. The whole thing just appalls me.
I hear what you’re sayin’ with the “You cannot effectively treat the alcohol and drug problem while encouraging the most destructive symptoms of the fame addiction.” However, whatever show they have to put on TV so that I can look at Dr. Drew for an hour is fine by me!!
Wait! Did you say Gary Busey?! Oh-ho, wouldn’t miss this for the world!
tragic.
I hang my head with shame as I type this, but I will be watching this show. I know, I know.
Oh… my bet’s on Tawny Kitaen. She’s freakin batshit crazy. It’d be like giving Erin Moran meth and GHB at the same time.
Listen to what she said about her poor ex-husband (#2, Chuck Finley):
“He won’t. He’s already told me, “If I ever marry again, it will be you.†He also knows that if he ever starts dating, I’ll kill whoever he’s with. And the kids are the best cockblocker in the world. Those girls will never let another woman into their lives. So, it’s great. I can date all I want. Divorce can end in a very happy way.” [1] (Jesus Christ!)
Annd the poor David Coverdale (#1):
“Well, I was with him during the Whitesnake “Here I Go [Again]†years, so I owned part of the publishing. Plus, I did the video and he went on to sell 15 million records. And I’m not blowing my own horn here but this is just true: I split and the guy can’t sell a million and a half. But I said fine, you keep the royalties but I want a couple more million dollars for that. So he compensated me. Plus I got alimony on top of everything. Plus I got the house. Alimony is a great thing.” [1]
Man. This woman is like a demon, complete with horns.

Yeah, I gotta admit that I’m gunna watch & I can’t wait. Also next week Mon the 16th (I think, it may be the next Mon) Intervention on A&E starts & I’m pretty excited for that too. I find those shows very interesting. My stepdad is a raging alcoholic so I think that’s why.
Dr.Drew is hot! Can’t wait for October to get here!
Dr. Drew alone I might watch. Gary Busey alone I’d probably check out. The two together? I can’t wait!
Every single time I see Tawny Kitaens’ name I wanna fuckin’ puke knowing it is supposed to sound like “tiny kitten”. Traaaaain wreck.
I’m late replying to this, but thank you for your delightful common sense. When I reviewed the first season of this shit, I tore it apart as the obvious fucking schadenfreude it was, and all these people stuck up for Dr. Drew like he was St. Pope coming down from Moses Mountain. So I just love knowing that I was right. Bitches.
Sorry Stacey, I still love to watch Dr. Drew while snorting my Peruvian Flake.
