Addicted

I fully admit that I am "addicted" to Celebrity Rehab. I know at least half of you go right to "Dr Drew is exploiting people for his own fulfillment" and I get that. While I believe there may be some of that I don't actually think its the driving force. Call me crazy or naive but I think he actually cares. He doesn't have any involvement in the casting. Plus the irony is that for many of THESE cast members having cameras on them may of been the only way they would actually go to rehab and if while they are there the message gets through then whats the harm. This seasons casting is pure brilliance. Its the USA Olympic team that had Jordan, Barkley and Akeem.. Heidi Fleiss who lives alone with 100's of birds in the desert, Dennis Rodman, who clearly needs Ed Hardy Rehab, Tom Sizemore who has wasted so much incredible talent, Makenzie Phillips, the old bass player from Alice in Chains who can't let go, and a few other throw ins to round it all out. All of them spending their entire lives avoiding feeling anything. Watching them stop the drugs and slowly peel back the layers reminds me of a similar time of my life a long time ago. I can relate. I root for them.. its the ultimate underdog story and the show I most look forward to watching every week. There I admit it. Im "addicted." Its on tonight.
