Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip

And you thought the tension between Jeff Conaway and his girlfriend was awkward to watch…

For Season 3 of Celebrity Rehab, Dr. Drew Pinsky and producers have upped the dramatic ante. Actor Tom Sizemore has just been included in the final lineup for the VH1 reality series. This means he will be seeking treatment at the same time as Heidi Fleiss.

Despite an impressive body of work, Sizemore’s personal life has been checkered with a host of legal issues. In addition to numerous troubles with drugs, the Saving Private Ryan star was also convicted in 2003 of assaulting and harassing his then-girlfriend. That woman was Fleiss, the former Hollywood madam. According to TMZ, Tom checked himself into The Pasadena Recovery Center last Friday, one day after being arrested for an outstanding warrant.

Mackenzie Phillips Signs Up for Celebrity Rehab

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Cable, Gossip

The third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew is definitely a go and currently casting. Mackenzie Phillips, whose biggest claims to fame are her stint on One Day at a Time and her famous father, will serve as the in-house sober coach. This position was held in past seasons by Daniel Baldwin and Gary Busey.

The show’s sober coach is supposed to be an individual who has battled addiction and won. Phillips is no stranger to substance abuse or, for that matter, rehabilitation. As of last September, Phillips was interred in a rehab facility for the tenth time. Other cast members on the third season include Dennis Rodman, Heidi Fleiss, Joey Kovar and Lisa D’Amato.

Will Celebrities Shine in Trump’s World?

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Prime Time, Reality, NBC, Apprentice, The - Donald, Gossip, Renewals

Poker players. TV personalities. Recording artists. Athletes. What do they all have in common? They all want to learn from Donald Trump. Or, they at least want to give that appearance while they collect a paycheck from NBC.

Reality TV has now become much more a medium for quasi- and has-been celebs, rather than an unscripted jaunt where ordinary folks get their chance to shine. But what the hell? Donald Trump is always fun, so why not another season of The Celebrity Apprentice? At this point, NBC’s willing to try anything.

So who makes up the star-studded cast? Mother-daughter team Joan and Melissa Rivers will join Tionne Watkins (T-Boz of TLC), Brande Roderick (Baywatch), reality TV vet Khloe Kardashian, Annie Duke (reigning poker queen), Natalie Gulbis (pro golfer) and Claudia Jordan (Deal or No Deal winner) to make up the female team.

Given all the controversy - and attention - Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew garnered last season, it was only a matter of time before a new installment was greenlighted.

According to the New York Post, stars who may seize the opportunity to get some help include pop singer Aaron Carter, basketball star Dennis Rodman, Skid Row musician Sebastian Bach and former madam Heidi Fleiss.  Although some of these names could clearly benefit from the program, VH1 would not comment on any of the casting rumors.

Production on the next season of Rehab is scheduled to begin in June.
