Celebrity Rehab Cast Revealed

The lineup for this season’s Celebrity Rehab has been announced, and Michael Lohan is probably the most exciting celeb. Lohan is going on the show to get help with his anger management. So that should be fun. A source told says, “Michael is absolutely 100% sober. He hasn't been using drugs or alcohol, but he is being treated for anger management issues. Michael has tremendous admiration for Dr. Drew Pinsky, and was given this opportunity to better himself, and he took it.” Also in the lineup are former NY Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden, Bai Ling, Jeremy Jackson, and "White House crashers" Tareq and Michaele Salahi. The Salahis are already on the “Real Housewives of DC”, so I’m guessing Pinsky is treating them for an addiction to being on mediocre reality shows.
