5 Moments That Made Us Want To Curl Up And Die On Last Night’s ‘Celebrity Rehab 2′ Premiere
6:15AM Seth | We’ve been anticipating last night’s Celebrity Rehab 2 premiere for some time now—we’d been pestering the good Dr. Drew Pinsky himself about it as far back as June when taping had just begun, and as recently as Wednesday had excitedly teased an entertaining scene featuring Gary Busey unpacking a Samsonite case full of spare change, hair highlighter, and coke-flecked dog fur. We wanted to wait to watch the full opener in all its self-destructive glory on TV, however, which we did. It didn’t take long before we were clutching our knees to our chest, rocking back and forth, and repeating, “Why? Oh God, why?” We run down for you now the five most heart-sinkingly awful moments: More »
Gary Busey Admits He’s Done Coke Off A Canine Hooker’s Back
4:12AM Seth | Fans of Celebrity Rehab’s first season will recall it featured several breakout recoveries, including those of failed hip-hop superduo Vikki & Kenickie, as well as the addictionless Joanie “Chyna” Laurer, who right up until CR commencement exercises refused to reveal the enigmatic circumstances that led her into the program. Tomorrow night, the second season premieres on VH1, but a preview already posted online suggests that Gary Busey—who’s made it clear his involvement is strictly as mystical, recovering-coke-fiend mahatma to the other patients—could wind up contributing more story-editor-nip drama to the proceedings than spiritual guidance.

7:10AM Seth | Steven Tyler: 60, and in rehab. And not just any rehab, but Pasadena’s Las Encinas Hospital of Celebrity Rehab fame. While his reps have yet to release a statement, using nothing but Aerosmith song titles, we’ll now attempt to reconstruct exactly what happened: “Permanent Vacation” “Livin’ On the Edge” “Monkey On My Back” “Push Comes To Shove” “My Fist Your Face” “You See Me Crying” “S.O.S. (Too Bad)” “Shame, Shame, Shame” “No More No More” “Sick As a Dog” “Jig Is Up” “Darkness” “I Wanna Know Why” “Crash”"I’m Down” “Get a Grip” “Hole In My Soul” “Something’s Gotta Give” “Attitude Adjustment” “Jesus Is on the Main Line” [TMZ] More »

Next On ‘Tyra’: Dr. Drew’s Drunken Slut Intervention!
7:00AM Seth | Night sweats? Crippling depression? Physical incapacitation? Yes, you’re probably experiencing Celebrity Rehab withdrawal systems. To help ween you off the sweet high of a season spent freebasing Dr. Drew and his ragtag gang of Pasadena Recovery Centre misfits, Defamer videographer Molly McAleer brings you outtakes from today’s Very Special Tyra™, an episode devoted entirely to the behaviours and mating habits of the drunkus slutticus, more commonly known as the urban party girl. What the girls didn’t see coming—not even the one who casually relates the time she totally forgot about the hookup-dampering tampon she was harboring—was that Dr. Drew himself was on hand for a Dr. Drew® Intervention™. With him, his lovely assistant Mary Carey, who saw in these troubled, ladies-of-the-ladies’-night a version of her own, formerly hammered self. Whether they chose to heed her warnings, fearful of a fate in which they too find themselves regaining consciousness on an unfamiliar bathroom floor (a scenario rendered all the more disconcerting once you crawl out of the stall and notice the row of urinals lining the wall) is really up to them.

Chyna, We Think We’ll Miss You Most Of All
11:00AM Seth | It’s Celebrity Rehab graduation, and without giving away too much, we’ll just say that it’s never too late for a breakthrough. Our favorite American Idol Season 7 moment so far, in handy animated gif form. Holy shit! Scubacar! It’s official: Jermaine Jackson’s transformation into the creepy Nipsey Russell Tinman from The Wiz that used to give us nightmares as a kid is complete. Lisa Marie Presley didn’t want to have tell you about the pregnancy this way, but now that you’ve all had a good laugh at those fat pictures…Fine! It’s baby weight! Are you satisfied now? And finally, someone sent this to us, asking, “Is this a tip?” We really have no idea, so we throw it out to you. Is this a tip? More »
Camera-Hogging Ladies Of ‘The View’ Can’t Wrap Their Heads Around The Shameless Famewhores Of ‘Celebrity Rehab’
10:16AM Seth | Dr. Drew appeared on The View today to update the world on the status of his Celebrity Rehab patients (tally: one jailed, one Scientology convert, the rest currently missing). The hosts had a difficult time swallowing one point in particular, being why anyone would allow such a difficult and deeply private journey to play out for reality TV cameras. Could it be as simple of Joy Behar’s blunt assessment that these personalities are most addicted to celebrity itself? More »
The Difference Between Being Angry And Being Hungry
11:10AM Mark Graham | In this clip from the increasingly depressing Celebrity Rehab, we learn that Brigitte Nielsen’s husband doesn’t exactly have a firm grasp on the English language. Either that or heavy bouts of boozing really give Brigitte a wicked case of the munchies. Never got around to seeing Cloverfield: The Movie but still want to see what the monster looks like? Then take a gander at the toy that’s going to retail for $99.99! Why so pricy? Batteries ARE included. [Slashfilm] Anne Hathaway’s armpits are positively resplendent (if you’re into that sort of thing). [Goldenfiddle] Lily Allen has gone goth. Didn’t see that one coming. [Daily Mail] How can this be? CBS decided to renew NUMB3RS but left How I Met Your Mother precariously perched on the bubble. Inconceivable! [TV Decoder] More »
