Celebrity Rehab

[~BEE~Happy~]

I have only watched a little bit here and there. I can't say that I love it though, it is so sad to watch people at their low points, struggling with even being functional as a human being, you know?

I agree with Karen though, if someone was truly serious about getting help, why would they want to do it that way? Maybe it has something to do with these "celebs" used to being the center of attention so they get some type of fix that way?

I agree that it has simply become entertainment for people. I just feel badly about being entertained at other's expense. I am just a very private person, so I couldn't imagine signing up for that. But they did--- #weird#


I am sure I'll continue to channel surf and stop to catch a lil bit here and there as well though.... #whistlewam3#

I agree that it's a hard thing to watch but I look at it purely as entertainment. I just don't know how serious you can be about recovering if you choose to do it like that. Personally, I could never have done rehab like that. It's bad enough that you have no real privacy anyway, but to have a camera in your face constantly would enrage me. I need time to myself. Perhaps they are used to it, like you said.

I just read this about Season 2 of Celebrity Rehab. Looks like Jeff Conway is coming back...also crazy ass Gary Busey is going to be on the show as a mentor so it should be entertaining. It's surely going to be a train wreck just like last season. ;D

When acting more like Gary Busey is something celebrities are striving to do, you know you're in for a good season of reality TV.

Busey will be serving as a mentor for the likes of Jeff Conway (returning for his second go-round), Sean "Son of Rod" Stewart, model Amber Smith, actress Tawny Kitaen, first-season American Idol finalist Nikki McKibbin, Guns N' Roses rocker Steven Adler and Rodney King (yes, that Rodney King) for the second season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

In addition to the behavior therapy and direction of Dr. Drew Pinsky, this year's batch of wannabe sober celebs will receive mentorship from "been there, done that" star Busey.

Despite public perception, Busey has been clean of his cocaine addiction for the past 13 years and will work with the stars to help them on their journey to recovery.

The series will consist of eight hourlong episodes and chronicle the participants' intensive 21-day stint through individual and group therapies, both traditional and other.

Helping their argument to prove the cable net isn't just out to exploit the sobriety-challenged participants, following the completion of the three-week program, as always, VH1 will encourage the celebs to continue for at least three months in a treatment facility, with the cable net ready and willing to foot the bill.

The new season kicks off in October.

How did I miss talk about season 2? I can't wait for that. I LOVED watching that show. Really put my own miseries into perspective.
