Bad news for anyone out there who was hoping for yet another season of Celebrity Rehab: Apparently the producers are unable to scrape together enough big names to get approval for a new season.
Initially the producers were asking for big names like Lindsay Lohan and Heather Locklear, but were quickly told by Lindsay and Heather’s people that they were barking up the wrong tree. So then they turned to The F-List. You know, the former American Idol contestants and paparazzi queens that surely don’t have anything else to do. However, VH1 passed on all the “talent” that did agree to get treated in the Celebrity Rehab house leaving the producer back at ground zero.
I’m not sure if I can imagine what’s harder to believe: That there’s not enough C-or-D list celebs that are desperate for a career boost/free rehab, or that this hasn’t been a problem for the creators of this show much sooner. I mean, you’d have to be on drugs to go on TV and admit that you’re on drugs!
The producers have until Wednesday of this week to scrape some bigger names together and present them to the network. Best of luck, you guys… And have you hit up The Sheens? Something tells me Brooke Mueller might be down.
What a pity! This is like the only reality show I can even begin to stomach, too. Last season was especially entertaining, as they had Heidi Fleiss and Tom Sizemore — talk about two fully trained and licensed f*** ups. I hope Drew and Co. can come up with somebody to pull it off. Otherwise, there will be absolutely no reason to still keep VH1 on the air.
Perhaps this show can come full-circle and end with Dr. Drew treating himself for an addiction to prescription pain meds.
Dr. Drew should look into treating celebrity sex addictions. That appears to be a growing field, while all Hollywood celebrities are now clean and sober due to the Social Reform Act of 2009.
“Dr. Drew should look into treating celebrity sex addictions.” They had that, of course.
And some of these people need ACTUAL rehabilitation and are just being used for exploitative television. It’s really disgusting.
I wouldn’t feel too bad for these celebs being “exploited.” They get paid to be on the show plus free rehab. Can’t be all that bad.
Dr Drew is a hack who was seduced by the bright lights and fame.
