The rumors are true!
The next season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew is going to be all about sexual addictions! Nice!
Here is the official press release from VH1:
Dr. Drew Pinsky is tackling a new yet very real addiction in “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew.”
In this eight episode one-hour series, Dr. Drew is turning his attention and cameras on a very widespread but rarely talked about addiction. Sexual compulsion afflicts roughly 6% of the American population and carries the same devastating consequences as any other addiction.
For addicts, sex isn’t even pleasurable, but rather a way to escape the pain of past loss, childhood trauma, abuse and abandonment. Like many other addictions, their habits can cost them their jobs, their marriages, even their lives. Despite all this, the affliction is often dismissed because it’s not understood how something as natural and beautiful as sex can be an addiction. In this series Dr. Drew will treat a group of people in Los Angeles who are struggling with this disease while shedding some light on this oft-dismissed compulsion and all the destructive costs that come with it. The series is set to premiere in the fall of 2009.
Dr. Drew and VH1 are also bringing back the award-winning reality series “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” for a third installment. The series will follow a new group of celebrity patients who have volunteered to undergo a 21-day detoxification and treatment at a rehabilitation center in the Los Angeles area. The series has not yet been cast but aims to start filming sometime in late spring for a fall 2009 premiere. Returning to the show to help Dr. Drew are drug addiction counselor Bob Forrest and resident technician Shelly Sprague who have each spent years on both sides of the rehab fence.
So even though next season will be all about the sex, the show is still sticking with it’s original premise of drug and alcohol addiction. Rumored cast members are Amber Smith (from Celebrity Rehab 2) Nicole Narain, former Playmate and star of Colin Farrell sex tape, Penny Flame, porn star, Kendra Jade, a porn star; Kari Ann Peniche, former Miss Teen USA and Playmate and Duncan Roy, an English writer and director.
As much as I’d like to say I won’t be watching this, I know I TOTALLY will!!
I know, right? Me too!
This should be interesting. I wonder how this show goes. Can’t wait!
Yes, let’s keep supporting and giving ratings to Dr. Drew so he can continue to publicize himself and exploit his patients to the detriment of their recovery. This man should be in jail.
I think they should do a series on Steven Adler that dude was messed up.
