Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun Times recently ran a piece about how even very minor D-list celebrities are being advised by publicists to avoid “Celebrity Rehab” for fear that it will ruin their careers. While the publicist quoted was careful to say that host Dr. Drew isn’t a total quack, I don’t think it helps at all that he consistently makes asinine armchair diagnoses for celebrities like Lindsay Lohan. He even recommended that loved ones plant drugs in her car in order to get her help.
There are questions about the future of Celebrity Rehab in light of the fact that the show is having trouble signing anyone willing to air their problems for a brief taste of bitter fame. Tila Tequila is all over that, though, and has signed up to be the first faux-celeb to participate. She’ll probably experience Twitter withdrawal and try to compensate by walking around set nude:
Tila Tequila is finally seeking professional help — TMZ has confirmed through multiple sources that the bisexual reality star has committed to do the next season of VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” … if it doesn’t get canceled first.
It’s unclear what personal demon Tila will try to conquer with the help of Dr. Drew — but it certainly won’t be her addiction to attention.
But there’s one major catch — as we previously reported — VH1 is having problems finding other “celebrities” to rehabilitate … and if they don’t find a cast quick, the show could be killed.
So far, no word on who else the show has its sights set on.

I guess the good news is that Tila Tequila is probably the kiss of death for that show. Any long gone American Idol top 25 finalists drowning their sorrows will be hesitant to sign on when faced with the prospect of dealing with her drama. Let’s see – get paid for rehab and have to contend with Tila Tequila or remain in obscurity and continue performing for peanuts? It doesn’t seem like much of a contest.
she is simply traaash.. not news worthy
is her entire nipple showing in that top picture? she’s insane.
I don’t know that I’d call Celebrity Rehab “rehab.” But then, I wouldn’t call it “celebrity” either.
What a joke.
remember when she said she didn’t drink or do drugs? what a joke.
she has to fight her addiction for naming multiple fathers that may have possibly impregnated her with a non-existing fetus.
Why exactly is she a celeb….. makes a joke of the term
the hell?!
@ Comment #2 — I think it’s a flesh-colored pasty over her nip…I hope.
She looks like such a bafoon in the last picture “Derher, I saw lady gaga do this, it’s a secret code amongst all us ‘celebrities’ harhar…derrrr…ducklips! Nipples? Anyone? How about my labia? I’ll flash you my inner-organs…LOOOOOK AT MEEEEEE!”
I guess if you are asked to do this show, especially now that this troll is on it, well, welcome to rock bottom.
And suggesting that she might just resort to walking around nude is absolutely spot on.
She is absolute trash. I don’t think I care enough to find out if she addresses why she faked a number of different pregnancies etc.
There’s no rehab for an addiction to media attention.
ugh…this whore needs to vanish from ALL media!
Cannot stand her addiction to attention : I am bi, no a lesbian, straight, I’m pregnant, my GF died I’m getting beat up by my BF….GO AWAY
I agree with above poster, there is NO cure for media-whores.
if it was Celebrity Relapse there would be a lot more takers.
I’ve never seen it, but why is celebrity rehab so bad for your career?
Why do people still give this attentionwhore attention? If they stop giving her that, she will disppear from the internet/showbizzmagazines.
Didn’t even read the article, but I want to comment on her appearance. Does anyone find it disturbing that people like Tila and Shakira bleach the shit out of their hair and wear blue contacts? Shakira looked great with her natural eye color. Everyone seems to end up blonde.
And I thought last season was over the top with everyone behaving like spoiled two year olds, especially Kari Ann Whatshername. Want to bet Mike and Shifty are back again. You know they need the bucks. Anyone know how much they make per episode?
I have been in denial regarding the very relevant opinions that Dr. Drew might be a fame whoring quack. I even had a lovely conversation with a real LA substance abuse therapist/rehab center owner, who was surprisingly “mum” about Dr. D. I stuck by his side, thinking he might have the only carrot to dangle in front of these people who desperately need help.
But the entire Kari Anne Miss USWhore situation turned my stomach, and now the TTequila thing- Ugh. I am done with Dr. Drew.
makes me sad.
I agree sashavice not only Shakira’s look but her music was so much better 10 yrs ago before this Lobo/skanky turn. Referencing the article, you mean even a z-list celebutard like Tila has a “career” that can be ruined by appearing on Celeb Rehab. The only question I have is are there enough cleaning products in the US to disinfect all the chairs after Tila is done sitting on them when her therapy is over? Call the Hazmat team pronto!
How in the hell can she rehab herself FROM herself? She’s addicted to HERSELF. If the woman spent more time breathing than she did talking about herself, she might actually be able to save a brain cell or half.
I think she’s pretty much going on the only show that will take her. She needs to be in the public eye, and after her girlfriend’s death and her fake pregnancy/fake miscarriage, she’s in desperate need for attention now.
@mollination
hahahaha, omg I almost peed I laughed so hard. So did everyone in the room with me.
She certainly needs help since it’s obvious she is using “fame” and her desperate quest for it for something. She needs therapy. This is just going to fuel her particular issue fire.
I can’t stand this little…thing, but if she got some real therapy and went on to shut up and find some true lasting happiness in life, I think all of us would be better for it. We wouldn’t have to hear about her dumb shenanigans and she wouldn’t feel the need to pull them.
she is very pretty. I can’t wait to see the real Tila on celebrity rehab. I wish her the best.
She’s pretty, but she doesn’t present herself in a particularly wholesome way. I don’t think she has a very high opinion of herself.
she is very pretty.
Clooney rallied Hollywood around special needs like ending genocide in Darfur, Sudan, as well as the “Help for Haiti” telethon and fundraisers for Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 victims.
Wow i think shes hot!
Hey really great site and good post. It was very informative. Only problem is some of the pages don’t work and I can’t figure out the RSS. But keep it up.
I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
look like a celebrity with idol lashes.
Hi, I have visited your site and I liked it. I found your site by search engine Google and I must say that the contents are very interesting.

She needs therapy. She is absolute trash.
I wish her the best,I can’t wait to see the real Tila on celebrity rehab.
So what do we do? We love her and want the best for her. So let’s hope she will keep herself safe.
This is a serious problem I don’t know why people throw their lives away.
