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.

For Brooke Hogan, The Family That Pole Dances Together Stays Together
9:10AM Kyle Buchanan | Sure, reality star Brooke Hogan doesn’t know who Sarah Palin is (or the identity of our current vice president, for that matter), but it’s only because she’s been working so hard! After all, who has time to brush up on politics when you’re busy taking striptease classes with your mother? Yes, on last night’s episode of Brooke Knows Best, Brooke decides that a pole-dancing lesson will be just the thing she needs for a workout, and she decides to bring mother Linda along, too. Showing off the moves that would eventually bag Linda a nineteen-year-old boyfriend and strain her relations with Brooke, the cougar supremo humps the pole and floor in an unnerving mother/daughter celebration of post-postmodern female empowerment, disguised as a workout routine at Crunch. We can’t wait until a very special Christmas episode of Brooke Knows Best, when Linda returns the favour and.gifts Brooke with a coupon for pairs’ Kegel exercises at the downtown Miami Y [VH1] More »
Unearthed Britney Spears Concert Footage Demonstrates The Value Of Lip-Syncing
8:20AM Mark Graham | · You know how everyone used to complain that Britney Spears lip-synced her way through all of her concerts? Well, after seeing this video that isolates Britney’s vocals during her “Live From Las Vegas” show, we’re pretty sure you’ll be thankful that backing tracks exist. [Funny Or Die via Buzzfeed] · We know that we’re supposed to bow at the feet of Radiohead because, well, everyone bows at the feet of Radiohead. But we can’t help but concur with Hold Steady guitarist Tad Kubler’s recent comments about the band: “I think they’ve lost the plot. I like them as a rock band, all the buttons and sequencing and stuff like that I don’t really care for. I’m a fan of rock music, and what they’re doing now I don’t think is very good.” [Vulture] · We’ve been thinking a lot about Sharon Stone ever since we revealed her new twentysomething boyfriend yesterday. While her film career is stalled, we think we spotted a reality show opportunity that would be a perfect fit for her brand of crazy: Vh1’s Cougar Camp. [NY Post] · This headline has us thankful all of the film critics haven’t been killed off yet: “Hamlet 2: The First One Was Better.” [Time] · Most of our favourite movies of the ’80s require a healthy suspension of disbelief to enjoy. Teen Wolf was one of those films. But now, thanks to the comedy troupe Summer Of Tears, we’re not sure we’re ever going to be able to watch it again without contemplating how none of the characters raised an eyebrow when the bestiality angle came into play.

Misconceived Commercial Stunt Leaves Reality Star Wounded, Catering Table Dead
3:55AM STV | Pity poor New York — the downmarket reality-TV star, not the city — whose efforts to establish a legitimate acting career have found little yield thus far on New York Goes to Hollywood. Her painful, futile first-episode audition long behind her, the Flavor of Love/ I Love New York alumna (a/k/a Tiffany Pollard) moved on to a potentially huge commercial break last night only to melt down over a faulty prop. But as our mothers always reminded us: If it stings, that means it’s healing, and her director’s violent jump to her defence spurs a violent Japanese-language brawl suggesting New York may yet have a place at the table in Hollywood. Just not the craft-services table, which — SPOILER ALERT — sadly fares worst of all. Oh well — there’s always Episode 4. [VH1] More »
