Celebrity Rehab

I have my own addiction. I watch Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew Pinsky like it's going out of style!  I have never missed an episode since the beginning.  For one, I adore that man.  I think that he has a heart of gold and wants everybody who struggles with addiction to be substance free.  I also love the fact that it shows celebrities as normal people going through sensitive, honest struggles.  It reminds me that they are just like us in more ways than one.

I got off work last night at eight o'clock and decided to stretch out on the couch and relax while watching some shows.  I watched the brand new episode of The Kardashians, and then the new show Ice loves Coco.  After those two thirty-minute shows were done, I was surprised when I saw Celebrity Rehab come on!  At first I thought it was an old episode, but then I noticed that I didn't recognize the first celebrity.  It was quite exciting for me! Here are the new rehab members:

Amy Fisher

I remember my mom talking about her when I was younger.  She is known as the 'Long Island Lolita.'  When she was a teenager in the '90s, she was having an affair with a married man named Joey Buttafuoco.  She went to prison for six years for shooting Joey's wife in the head.  His wife did survive the attack, however half of her face is paralyzed and she is partially deaf.  Amy admitted to Dr. Drew that during that time she was consistently on drugs, which he said could have very well affected her psychotic reaction that night.  

She is now married and a Mom of three.  In order for her to "survive" she is an adult entertainment "porn" star.  Her substance of choice is alcohol.  She learned while talking to Shelly that she does in fact black out when she drinks.  In order for her to perform her job, she has to be inebriated.  That tells me that she actually does not like being a porn star.  I wouldn't either.  When she spoke to Dr. Drew, she seemed extremely distant about her feelings.  It'll be interesting to see what happens!

Bai Ling



I don't know too much about Bai Ling.  All I know about her is that she is an actress and she's kind of out there in the personality department.  She is an alcoholic, but she won't admit it yet.  She told Dr. Drew that she possibly drinks to make herself more fun and fearless.  Otherwise she is very shy and reserved.  I already consider herself quite intriguing!  It will be interesting to learn more about what makes her tick!

Jeremy Jackson



Oh Jeremy Jackson.  How I used to fantasize about you when I was a little girl.  I watched Baywatch just for the fact that you were in it!  Little did I know that you were a coke and sex fiend back then!  What have you done to yourself?  He has been sober for six years from cocaine, however he has now become obsessed over having a perfect body.  He is taking an assortment of steroid injections and pills.  He even told Dr. Drew that one of the steroids that he takes is actually given to Cows right before they are slaughtered.  Unbelievable right?!?!  I am so looking forward to watching his recovery.  He really needs it!

Michael Lohan



He is mostly known for being the father of an A list actress who's life is spiraling out of control; Lindsay Lohan.  The tabloids (and LiLo) have constantly talked bad about Michael, however I think that they're wrong.  When he was talking to Dr. Drew he seemed extremely honest and genuine.  I hope that finally the public will be able to know the true story from his point of view. He is an alcoholic and cocaine addict just like his daughter.  I'm excited to hear what all he has to say!

Sean Young



I don't know too much about Sean Young.  I do know that she is an Actress and that I've seen her in a lot of different movies like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.  She also recently competed in the reality show Skating with the Stars.  I watched half of the first episode and lost interest!  It was so dumb!  But anyways, she's an alcoholic.  She seems real sweet but a little off her rocker.  Not as bad as Bai Ling though!  Over the past few years she has had several career setbacks due to her drinking habits.  She was thrown out of the Directors Guild of America Awards Ceremony for hasseling one of the nominees.  After that incident she put herself into Rehab in 2008.  I think she feels this is the last resort.  Time to get your life back Sean!

Last but not least the return of....
Steven Adler



Steven is a returning addict from Celebrity Rehab.  He was a part of the second season as well as a part of Celebrity Rehab presents: Sober House.  He is known as the drummer in Guns N' Roses.  After his drug addiction took over his life, he was kicked out of the band.  He has suffered two strokes.  I fell in love with him at the start.  He is such a sweetheart when he is not on drugs.  Key words: when he is NOT on drugs.  After Celebrity Rehab he went on to live in the Sober House.  He struggled daily on not doing Heroine.  He was eventually arrested for possession and use of heroine while still in the Sober House.  Right before his arrest, he turned on his house mother Jennifer emotionally and physically.  This season Dr. Drew has decided to bring him back.  Jennifer is now working at the Pasadena Recovery Center.  Shelly pulled Jennifer aside and warned her that Steven was going to be there sometime that night.  Jennifer started having a panic attack.  She says that she will never recover for what happened to her.  She thinks Steven is an absolute monster while on drugs.  I think the most drama will be between Steven and Jennifer, but I really hope that he is able to finally sober up and be the nice man that I once fell for in the beginning!

*There are two more patients that will be shown next week: Dwight Gooden and Jessica "Sugar" Kiper.
