Our Take on the America's Next Top Model All-Stars
Though the lineup leaked months ago, on Thursday the CW confirmed the cast of the upcoming "all-star" cycle of America's Next Top Model (premiering Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 9/8c). Eight out of the 14 aspiring whatevers are 25 years old or older, which is hilarious since even at a decade younger they'd still be kind of old to be getting into modeling. But America's Next Top Model is not the real world or even the fashion world (which is also not the real world), and creator/host Tyra Banks recently told Good Morning America that this cycle will be about more than just modeling anyway. "I have the girls singing songs, doing music videos, creating perfumes. You can't just be a model anymore ... Now it's about celebrity-celebrity, so that's what I'm doing with my all-stars," she said. Panic attack hits America's Next Top Model Joining her in doing celebrity-celebrity with her all-stars will be the usual motley crew of guest judges. Hilariously...
Exclusive: Heidi Fleiss on Her New Animal Planet Show Prostitutes to Parrots
"Hollywood Madam" Heidi Fleiss knows her life sounds a bit strange. But Fleiss' three-year stint in jail, run-ins with exes like Tom Sizemore and struggles with drugs sound almost normal compared to her other addiction: Caring for more than 20 exotic macaw parrots. Fleiss' relationship with those birds forms the basis of a new Animal Planet special, Heidi Fleiss: Prostitutes to Parrots. The one-hour program, from Craig Piligian's Pilgrim Films and Television, airs Sunday at 10 p.m. and doubles as the pilot episode to a potential series. Fleiss, who lives in Pahrump, Nevada (where she continues to consult for brothels), was pitching another reality show concept with her brother when Piligian suggested turning the camera on her and her birds. It's an expensive hobby, one that she supports by running a laundromat and a doggie day care — as well as starring in reality shows (like this one and Celebrity Rehab). With her macaws squawking in the background, Fleiss spoke with TV Guide Magazine about her love/hate relationship with the birds; her brutally honest take on Dr. Drew Pinsky; why she didn't care for Mike Tyson's Animal Planet show; and how she manages to stay sober.

Celebs' Rehab: Taking Shortcuts? Dr. Drew Opines
"News" alert? Dr. Drew Pinksy — the mind behind VH-1's Celebrity Rehab — insists that Hollywood has a big addiction problem, and it's sweeping it under the red carpet. He tells the AP that celebrities aren't taking drug and alcohol addiction seriously enough, often opting for exclusive rehab facilities for stints that are too quick to heal them. For a guy who claims he doesn't like treating celebrities, Pinsky's mastered the art of not only treating them, but serving as the authority on their addiction. The doc will be laying out his Hollywood addiction views Tuesday in VH1 News Presents: Dr. Drew's Celebrity Addiction Special."If you had cancer, you would drop everything," he said. "We can't get people to take three months." Do you agree with the doctor's diagnosis? Drew's special on the topic airs July 1 (VH-1, 10 pm/ET). — Anna DimondMore from Dr. Drew:• Dr. Drew Offers Tempered Apology to Cruise Camp• Gary Busey, Former Idol Check into Rehab• Rod St...
Gary Busey, Former Idol Check into Rehab
As previously reported, VH1 is bringing back Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew for a second season of exploiting chronicling the struggles celebs face while detoxing in a treatment facility. But this time around, there's one huge reason to watch: Gary Busey.Busey, whose wild antics have been well-documented (most recently his crazed behavior on the red carpet at the 2008 Academy Awards), is remarkably not one of the celebs in for treatment. Instead — touting 13 years of sobriety since his cocaine addiction — Busey will be a mentor to the new class of patients which includes Season 1 cast member Jeff Conaway (Grease), Sean Stewart (son of music icon Rod Stewart), model/actress Amber Smith, Rodney King, Guns N' Roses' Steven Adler, Tawny Kitaen and former American Idol wanabe Nikki McKibbin. Here's hoping at least one of his sessions involves teaching the addicts how to yell at teenaged journalists.The series will follow the patients during a 21-day program featuring group and o...

Last year, for example, he was denied entrance to a trendy L.A. club, so he turned around and began hurling whatever he could find at a passing car, in turn injuring a passenger.Page Six says Pinsky will also help Heidi Fleiss beat her substance abuse problems, while former NBA star Dennis Rodman has been offered an opportunity to see the good doctor. — J.R.

Shocking Celebrity Rehab Moments Revealed
Approximately 72 hours into the harrowing 21-day treatment regimen that is now playing itself out as Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew on VH1, an amazing thing happened, even more shocking than the sight of Crazy Town's Seth "Shifty" Binzer smoking crack while cameras rolled, incapacitated former Taxi star Jeff Conaway's horrible, convulsive withdrawal symptoms, or even the confiscation of porn star Mary Carey's sex toys. Behind the scenes, VH1 executives, who were on location last August at the Pasadena Recovery Center, made an unprecedented decision: Instead of manipulating the action in the standard reality-show way — by introducing artificial dramatic elements to make sure the storylines stayed interesting — they decided to let the treatment process unfold on its own, organically, just as Dr. Drew Pinsky had be
Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew: Should You Check In?
The when: VH1's latest "celebreality" series premieres Thursday, Jan. 10, at 10 pm/ET.Why watch?: Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew documents the lives of eight stars seeking treatment to battle their addictions before it’s too late. Unlike the other "Where are they now?"-type shows that dominate the cable airways these days, the difference here is that nothing feels staged. The first show quickly gets down to the heart of the matter, revealing the very real demons these famous-ish faces are battling. While some know they need help, others are still in denial. Perhaps the most compelling reason to watch is to learn the personal history that contributed to each star's descent into addiction. In a very candid moment, one celeb admits he has it all and has been blessed with fame... shortly before getting high and admitting there are times when he doesn't care if he dies. Who's who: The celebs that have chosen to commit themselves to this very real rehabilitation and recovery proc...
