Selling Out Mary Carey

mary-carey-pole-dancing-holding-drink-2-b

Mary Carey, the porn-star-turned-gubernatorial-candidate-turned-rehabette on VH1’s Sober House, was spotted getting wasted and pole-dancing at JET Nightclub in The Mirage. Says a spy: “She was doing shot after shot but managed to hold onto her booze while working that pole like the pro that she is. She had a huge wardrobe malfunction in the underwear department. Every time she kicked her leg up in the air the nearby partiers got an up close view of her naughty bits.”

Now I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I hate hate HATE those VH1 shows about celebrities in rehab. The addiction to fame goes hand-in-hand with the addiction to alcohol and drugs, and you CANNOT effectively treat one while engaging the other. These shows do these people a huge disservice, and I think VH1 and especially Dr. Drew — who took the Hippocratic oath that begins “first, do no harm” — ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I’ll tell you what makes me even more upset: My “source” here is a PR agency. And it’s not Mary Carey’s PR agency. I’ll leave it as an exercise for the reader to guess who this PR firm represents. But the email was very clear: These photos and this story are NOT to be attributed back to the agency. They just want it to look like a leak. They want Mary Carey to get better soooo badly that they’re willing to totally throw her under the bus and alert the media when she slips up, as addicts are wont to do. Classy, folks. Real classy. Don’t watch this shit, people. They’re destroying lives.

  • Golly-gee? Porn stars aren’t talented entertainers, who grow old gracefully and live healthy and helpful and jolly lives with no hang-ups while exercising their excessive liberal and immoral freedoms to sate every desire, lust and passion?

    • I am with you Klipper. I have mad love for Dr. Drew, and everything that he has done.

      And for everyone against the show, I can understand why. But I am not taking this as a huge failure for the show. Most addicts will relapse time and time and time again. This is not surprising.

      What is also not surprising is that I am OBSESSED with intervention….. <3

    • Dr Drew is getting those people into treatment, that’s the important thing, and it’s a sort of public service to show what kind of things really go on. The things famous people do in rehab pale in comparison to what normal people do in rehab.

  • i hate hate hate hate HATE “dr.” drew. the guy spews feces out his mouth (just like dr. phil) and people it eat up b/c he’s perfected the proper and knowledgeable act that he’s playing.

    • Wrong.

      This dude has his MD and is board certified. He knows what he’s talking about. You can say that you don’t approve of his bedside manner, but he can back up what he says.

    • Dr. Drew isn’t a fake doctor like “Dr.” Phil. so the comparison is ridiculous. Drew is an actual board certified practicing internal medicine physician and is the director of a drug dependency center.
      I love when people talk shit about people they know nothing about.

      • I first heard Dr. Drew in SoCal on Love Line in, oh, 1989 or so. He was a sexist, exploitive, shallow douche bag then and he remains one. Sure, he might be licensed. He went to school. He….”knows some stuff.” We get it. That doesn’t mean he’s good at what he does or that what he does is appropriate or even helpful much of the time. He’s good at Med Shtick. And making dough off of stupid people. Can’t really fault him for the latter, though Beet is correct to point out that much of what he does violates his Hippocratic oath.

        So I’m joining the ranks of shit talkers. But I do know what I am talking about. I’ve kind of been hating on this guy for 20 years….so I guess you could say I’m a Dr. Drew expert. And by that I mean, “I knit for fun and have cobwebs in my vagina.”

      • ps adverb. for such a smart person, I cannot BELIEVE you knit. seriously? SERIOUSLY? not trying to put that hobby down or anything, but well, that activity is only for the most boring, unexciting people on the planet! not smart, opinionated, funny (ex)lawyers. come on now, pleeeez tell me you don’t. pleeeez???!!! I respect you soo much.

        *sigh* I think I’d rather watch a squirrel slowly nibble my thumb off than knit. *shudder*-at the knitting part

      • Fuck off, knitting is awesome.
        And crocheting is awesome.
        I know a shitload of awesome people who knit, and make some of the most incredible pieces of art from it. They are certainly not boring, and I don’t consider myself boring at all. Fiber arts are awesome, and just because you don’t see the merit in it doesn’t mean people who do are boring. I find your statement to probably be the only comment on evilbeet to EVER offend me. Your blatant ignorance is appalling. Ugh. Lucky for you, “boring” people decided textiles were a worthwhile hobby, or you would be wearing leaves and mud right now.

      • ur sitting in 1 spot, staring at the same spot, doing the same finger motions over and over and over and over and over again. if that’s ur idea of fun on a friday night, i don’t think i’d be able to keep up w/ ur out of control wildness. lol

      • You really think that people who knit ONLY knit and don’t do anything else? Omg. I can’t handle how retarded you are. It’s not a “friday night” it’s sitting in the waiting room, down time at work, watching tv, or sitting in class… You don’t do it to get a fucking thrill you do it to pass the time and make something lasting and worthwhile
        The satisfaction that comes with making your own garments is awesome. As is the hundreds of dollars you can make off of it.

      • @Merced

        “not smart, opinionated, funny (ex)lawyers.”

        Smart? Maybe. Opinionated? I suppose. Ex-lawyer? Pass the dutchie on the left-hand side!

      • I know he is certified, I just refuse to call such a dumb person a doctor. A certificate does not make him great/helpful, I think he is very wrong about a lot of the stuff he says.

        Yeah adverb, I find him very sexist.

  • i don’t know much about dr. drew, but i don’t think it is ethical for a doctor to put his patients on television and then profit off their problems. whatever happened to confidentiality? yes, i know they all signed a waiver, but i don’t think any of them are in the mental state to sign anything. as far as his success rate at actually treating addicts, he doesn’t seem to be having much luck.

  • Who Gives a crap bout’ Slutty Mary Carey? Talk About Nick Jonas!!!!! SO SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {SIGH!}
