Living in Los Angeles you reach the understanding that there are certain celebs that tend to just kind of “hang out” for a living. These are “celebs” who spend endless days and nights drinking in the clubs and bars of Hollywood. These are celebs you’re bound to run into, or meet or have your entire liquor cabinet raided by one of the rehabbing ladies, who shall remain nameless. This is why I am particularly looking forward to Celebrity Rehab on VH1; because, if you live in Los Angeles, and you cross over once in a while to that side of the city, you’re bound to 1) get nearly run over by one, 2) get nearly attacked by one 3) sit in a booth near one and be forced to listen to their drunken antics, 4) get befriended by one, go shopping together at Forever 21 like normal girls, and then have all your expensive champagne stolen by one particularly crazy lady in this current cycle of the show. Particularly embarrassing? Yes, but also kind of sad and signifying the evils of drinking and drugs and excess. As funny as the show might seem, lets wish this current cast well. But if you see one of them out at the Grove or at a Supermarket, run the other way as fast as you can.
The show premieres January 10th at 10pm. Part of the press release follows:
This series will follow the real-life experiences of Brigitte Nielsen, Chyna, Daniel Baldwin, Jeff Conaway, Jessica Sierra, Jaimee Foxworth, Seth "Shifty" Binzer, Mary Carey, and Ricco Rodriguez as they undergo detoxification and treatment at a center in the Los Angeles area. While these celebrity patients may be accustomed to receiving special treatment in their everyday lives, they were in for a major surprise when they entered this no-frills treatment facility. Dr. Drew was aided in the process by his experienced and trusted staff of counselors, including registered nurses and other addiction experts.
