Below is a primer for the second season of Sober House with Dr. Drew, which premieres tonight on VH1 at 10/9c (but is available for viewing online now). In our interview with Drew on the series, he talks about the assembled patients, combining those from Sex Rehab with those from Celebrity Rehab 3, the tumult of the season (as suggested by the show’s supertrailer) and, of course, the drama that tends to swirl wherever Kari Ann Peniche goes.

VH1, JUMA and 51 Minds are teaming up for a new breed of dating show (currently titled The Tournament), which will feature women from all over the United States competing for the heart of notorious Cincinnati Bengals star player Chad Ocho Cinco. Details on the series, which is set to bow in July, and its format are in the press release below:

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco (formerly Chad Johnson) is using his off-season to pursue happiness off the field in his new VH1 reality show The Tournament (working title).  The series is a mix of Ocho Cinco’s on-field charisma blended with the drama of the dating pool played out in a bracket-style dating tournament.  The 10 episode, one-hour series is set to premiere in July 2010.

Daisy De La Hoya has taken to her Twitter to grieve over Corey Haim, with whom she was romantically involved in the weeks before his death, according to a source close to her. Yesterday morning, she tweeted, “I’m sooooooo devastated right now… This is the worst day ever I can’t believe this.” She followed that up with the message above and added today, “Early morning, interviews, I had hoped it could of been a dream…” According to the unnamed source, after being introduced to Haim via Corey Feldman, she and Haim went their first date two weeks ago and she became his “confidant over the last few weeks.” “Bawling and inconsolable” is nothing new for Daisy, whose reality TV career was practically defined by her waterworks, still, our sympathies go out to her as well as Haim’s family and friends. His life truly was tragic, but not more so than his death. [E! Online]

Update: Daisy has spoken to Radar about her association with Haim. “We just connected straight away, we had an automatic connection. I recognized that he was a lost soul, we had the same behavior patterns, we had a lot in common,” she says.

Obviously, people couldn’t be on Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp if they didn’t have a talent or at least a solid angle (how would they have made their names as celebrities in the first place?). In this week’s webisode, though, Nicole Eggert goes digging for her fellow Fit Clubbers’ hidden talents. If you’ve ever been curious about Tanisha’s rapping prowess, wonder no more. Also featured: Kaycee’s barnyard impressions, Jay’s very small mouth and Sebastian’s ability to spell “like a motherf***er.”

Catch a bonus webisode of the Fit Clubbers’ touchdown dances (as curated by Kaycee) here.

With tonight’s season finale of Fantasia for Real, many questions remain unanswered. At the top of my list is, “What the hell happened with Teeny? Did he move out of Fantasia’s house or what?” And so, since I can, I got Teeny on the phone to solve that mystery, as well as a few more, like why would anyone of sound mind take advantage of his generous sister? According to Teeny, though, he wasn’t taking advantage of anyone, he’s not a freeloader and the image of him that you saw on the show differs greatly from his actual persona. He makes his case below…
