DR DREW HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MINDY McCREADY’S DEATH

#mindymccready #janetcharlton

Blaming Dr Drew Pinsky for the death of Mindy McCready or any of the other Celebrity Rehab patients who eventually overdosed is beyond ridiculous. Every one of his celebrity patients who died was a long term substance abuser and didn’t want to help themselves. Besides McCready’s suicide, actor Jeff Conaway, police brutality victim Rodney King, Real World participant Joey Kovar, and musician Mike Starr, have overdosed. It’s a sad fact that some addicts simply do not want to be “cured” and do not respond to any kind of help. Dr Drew doesn’t have a higher number of casualties than other addiction specialists- they‘re just more visible. Sadly, some people simply cannot be saved.

Booze Brigitte Nielsen Celebrity Rehab Reality Shows Rehab

IS BRIGITTE NIELSEN ANGLING FOR A FREE RIDE TO CELEBRITY REHAB?

Sylvester Stallone’s amazonian exwife Brigitte Nielsen, 49, is one of the queens of reality TV, and right now she’s between shows. She appeared on Dr Drew’s Celebrity Rehab in 2008 and walked out appearing sober. Besides the US, Brigitte has done many shows in Europe including “Dancing With the Stars,” most recently winning “I’m a Celebrity …Get Me Out Of Here!” in Germany in January. If her behavior in an LA park this week is any indication, she’s trying to get another rehab gig. The six foot Danish model was seen smoking and guzzling vodka out of a bottle, looking disoriented and staggering around a public park. No sign of her young Italian husband Mattie Dessi, with whom she was living in Palm Springs. Is this a ploy to land another Intervention or Rehab show? Or the real thing?

For a model who’s been around the block a few times, Janice Dickinson, 56, still has a rockin’ bod. Nowadays she makes most of her money doing reality shows and she’s an ideal participant because she always ends up making scenes and fighting with someone. When she’s not on TV here (she was on Celebrity Rehab last season) , she’s in Europe doing the Top Model of Finland show or whatever…

No surprises here. Jeff Conaway has overdosed on painkillers again, only this time he’s in a coma, it it’s not looking good. (He seemed to be on a weird cycle of ingesting too many painkillers, causing him to stagger and fall down and hurt himself, so he needed MORE painkillers.) He’s been in the Encino Medical Center for a week since he was found unconscious on the floor of his home. Another dropout from Dr Drew’s “Celebrity Rehab.” His family is trying to keep his former fiancee- and drug buddy- Viikki Lizzi – from visiting him.

Celebrity Rehab Crimes and Misdemeanors Just Friends Missing Tom Sizemore

TOM SIZEMORE IS SWEATING BULLETS FOR GOOD REASON

It looks very fishy. Tom Sizemore’s “girlfriend” who had lived with him for the past six months has been reported missing and – guess what – he knows nothing about it! Although Tom claims to have sent drug addled actress Megan Wren, 25, to rehab three times unsuccessfully, and admits he fed her and gave her money, he STILL claims she wasn’t really his girlfriend, just a “friend.” He was “helping her out.” Really? Hearing this from a man who has been charged with domestic violence numerous times from assorted women, makes one’s skin crawl.

Celebrity Celebrity Apprentice Celebrity Rehab Dancing With the Stars Wife Swap

NENE LEAKES AND STAR JONES HAVE A FUTURE ON REALITY TV

The success of “Dancing With the Stars” and “Celebrity Apprentice” and “Celebrity Rehab” has all the networks scrambling for reality shows involving celebrities in some kind of peril or unfamiliar situation. Last year, CBS announced it was working on a “fish out of water” pilot called “The Name Game” where a celebrity switched lives with an everyday person with the same name. (For example, actor Gary Busey might switch lives with a car mechanic with the same name.) They soon learned it was impossible to find willing participants with the same names. According to Deadline/Hollywood, ABC has ordered episodes of a celebrity edition of their hit Wife Swap (or is it LIFE SWAP?) in which celebrities switch lifestyles for a week. Come to think of it, we wouldn’t mind seeing NeNe Leakes and Star Jones swapping lives for a week.

Celebrity Rehab Crimes and Misdemeanors Drugs Elder Abuse Girlfriend Grease Jeff Conaway Taxi Vikki Lizzi

JEFF CONAWAY SAYS HE’S A VICTIM OF “ELDER ABUSE” BY HIS GIRLFRIEND

How time flies. Not too many years ago Jeff Conaway, 60, was dancing and singing in “Grease” and landed a role on the hit TV series “Taxi.” Now he’s accusing his girlfriend of ELDER ABUSE! The drug addled Conaway (a “Celebrity Rehab” failure) claims that his drug buddy/former fiancee Vikki Lizzi set him up and called the cops on him. (Jeff has a history of taking painkillers that make him fall and injure himself, thus causing the need for more painkillers.) He insists she injected him with painkillers against his will and planted cocaine in his house before a police bust. He also told Radaronline that she stole money and forged checks. Both have restraining orders against each other. If he lives long enough, Charlie Sheen could end up in a situation like this.

Celebrity Rehab Money Rachel Uchitel Tiger Woods

RACHEL UCHITEL: HIGHEST PAID CELEBRITY REHAB PATIENT OF ALL TIME

Party girl Rachel Uchitel struck GOLD the day she met Tiger Woods. If it weren’t for their affair, she wouldn’t have banked a million dollars for keeping her mouth shut, and she wouldn’t have become a household name. Her fame brought her another opportunity: Celebrity Rehab offered her a million dollars to appear on the show and she didn’t even have an addiction. It’s the most they’ve ever paid ANYONE to appear, and they had to conjure up a “love addiction.” THAT’S why she returned after walking out of rehab for a day. AND she ended up with a private room. A million dollars for three weeks! Janice Dickinson is gonna be furious when she hears about this.

GARY BUSEY: REALITY SHOWS PAY THE RENT

Gary Busey seems to be making a decent living thanks to reality shows. He made around $100,000 as the loose cannon on Dr Drew’s Celebrity Rehab and now he’s set to appear on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump. The other day he was pulled over by police for suspected drunk driving but he passed sobriety tests and was released. Here he’s relaxing in the park (in his pajama bottoms?) with his girlfriend Steffanie Sampson and their one year old baby Luke.
