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 »
AUDIO: Lindsay Lohan FINALLY Confirms Relationship With Samantha Ronson
2:35AM Kyle Buchanan | After months of open canoodling with celebrity DJ Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan has stopped playing coy about whether the two of them are in a relationship, finally confirming the news on (of all places) last night’s episode of the radio show Loveline. And she wasn’t even prompted by the harsh interrogation techniques of Dr. Drew, either! No, Lohan — who had the phone passed to her after Ronson called in to discuss her hospitalized friend DJ AM — was caught flat-footed after an innocent question by Dr. Drew’s cohost, Stryker. 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.

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 »
Dirty Texts, Smuggled Vodka, And Sober Chynas: Never A Dull ‘Celebrity Rehab’ Moment
9:10AM Seth | We’ve already acknowledged our powerlessness over the reality drug that is VH1’s Celebrity Rehab, so we’re not even going to preface this with any sort of disclaimer: This shit’s some high-grade, Z-list mess-amphetamine we’re dealing in here, and we’re proud to declare ourselves a bitch to its pipe. Where to start! Daniel dismissed himself from the program, for, as best as we can make out, sending (ballet-class enthusiast!) Mary Carey suggestive cellphone images of his little Baldwin–a scandal that quickly wreaked untold havoc on the carefully controlled atmosphere of their burnout biodome. Semi-regular series villain Vicki, who seems less a human than a relapse-hastening she-gremlin sent down to producers from story editor heaven, was caught smuggling vodka in via Vitamin Water bottle during a visit to Jeff.
