  Amy Fisher...guaranteed Train Wreck.   I guess Adler is going for weed and booze.  Will be interesting to see if he can actually quit that.  I doubt it though, since he hangs with Chip Z Nuff.

Dr Drew is such a piece of shit parasite.

Steven Adler = clown shoes

[Street of the Blues]

Dr Drew is such a piece of shit parasite.

Do you honestly think so?

You don't think his message is doing any good to users who might be watching his show?

I agree- although it may be "cool" to bash Dr. Drew, it is real rehab & I've learned quite alot watching the show ahout the rehab process & what addicts go thru as I'm sure many other people have as well.

[D]

absolutely not.

No addict is gonna watch a show and have a huge epiphany and quit

hell most the addicts ON the show don't quit.

its exploiting once famous people and paying them to expose themselves on National TV and then they use THAT money to buy drugs once they get out and acquire another run fame wise.

also, i never say anything to appear "Cool" on this forum for the past 7 years or however long.. people may agree or disagree but i can guarantee what I post is 100 percent how i feel.

what turned me off was the big Mike Starr thing... Mike had terrible days where he was at his lowest moments and didn't want to be on camera. IF they cared about Mike, they would've taken the camera off him but NO, ratings would not allow such a meltdown to happen in private. they put the SHOW and RATINGS above the well being of the patients.

I understand they have to film for a TV show, but some moments, the patients should be allowed to request no filming.

I don't know, I can see both sides of the argument.  Do I think it's the most effective way of getting treatment?  Absolutely not.  Most celebrities seem to do it for the fame and fortune foremost and getting better is secondary.  And while the Mike Starr's and Jeff Conaway's have passed in recent years, others have seemed to have benefited from the "treatment".  So I don't think you could label it as completely useless.  Hell, Mike Starr was even brought back the following season as an example of someone who was doing well after being on the show. 

And I have never been drawn to drugs myself, at least in a serious sense, but seeing Steven Adler high searching for his room and unable to stand.  That right there was enough visual evidence for me to never try smoking heroin, or anything of the like.  Chances are pretty good I wasn't going down that path anyway, but that sealed the deal.  I can't say how other addicts may have felt about seeing something that dramatic, but it's possible it could've had a similar effect.

Former UFC champ Ricco Rodriguez's appearance on Celebrity Rehab, helped a good friend of mine confront his demons.

Yea seeing Mike Starr and Leif Garrett, and Tom Sizemore on there made me never want to mess with heroin.  Sometimes it seems to be glorified in the rock scene, but this shows the harsh reality of being addicted.   I also like the bond that the celebrities form with eachother while they are there.  I doubt most of them would be able to afford a real rehab anyways, plus it makes them feel like they have a little bit of fame again,  it really can encourage them if they take it seriously.   I think there have been a few positive stories like Rodney King.

im not necessarily saying it doesn't work for some BUT it is exploitation and Dr Drew getting rich and famous off other's diseases.

I watched it last night...pretty funny.   The only thing most of these people are addicted to is "fame".  Amy Fisher is pretending to be an alcoholic, when she is obviously just a social drinker.   Same with Bia Ling pretty much too...she is kind of cute though.  It's like "oh my god I got too drunk a few times...I'm an alcoholic!" lol   Also, Jennifer seems like she is laughing when she is supposed to be crying( I forgot how annoying she is).   You'd of thought Steven Adler was the devil when he made his appearance lol  It's a shame about Hobie being on there...I thought he learned his lesson from that episode of Baywatch with the drunk stunt biker.

Amy Fisher has some major issues that go much deeper than alcoholism.  And I just knew that her husband (Lou Bellera) would get himself involved somehow.  He's been on The Stern Show with Amy a few times and he always gets into heated discussions with callers defending his wife. 

Sounds like Bai Ling had some pretty difficult times growing up as well, as far as abuse goes.  And Steven certainly didn't come off too well in the first episode without even appearing.  I thought he was doing well, but apparently he got back on the sauce, possibly among other things.  And I agree, Jennifer seemed a little over the top calling Steven a monster, but she's entitled to her opinion.  If that's how she really feels, you can't really argue with her.

Hobie, good lord, he had a laundry list of steroids that he was taking.  Stuff they give to cattle pre-slaughter!  What in the hell would drive you to take something like that?

Steven Adler causes a panic on 'Celebrity Rehab' season premiere

Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler created quite a stir on last night's season opener of Celebrity Rehab. Upon hearing that the troubled drummer was checking in again, rehab technician Jennifer Gimenez had a panic attack, stating, "He's just a monster to me."

That fuckin' Jennifer chick is such a drama queen. I swear that's the only reason she's on the show. She doesn't have the first clue what she's doing when it comes to helping anyone.

[faldor]

Steven Adler isn't mentioned in this, but Jeremy Jackson was on The Howard Stern Show earlier this week.  He says "Celebrity Rehab" was great for him and helped him out a lot, among other things.  Like smelling Pamela Anderson's swimsuit back in the "Baywatch" days, looking at her editions of "Playboy" and pleasuring himself.  Your normal run of the mill stuff.
