Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew is back for a fifth season, and we’re lucky enough to have the opportunity to talk about the show with Dr. Drew and some of the other staff at the Pasadena Recovery Center to get an inside look at the rehabilitation process. This week, we spoke with Dr. Drew, Jenn Gimenez, and Dr. John Sharp about the potentially tumultuous return of Steven Adler to the show, and the addition of Dwight Gooden to the group.

Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew is back for a fifth season, and we’re lucky enough to have the opportunity to talk about the show with Dr. Drew and some of the other staff at the Pasadena Recovery Center to get an inside look at the rehabilitation process. This week on the show, we met most of the new patients, including Michael Lohan, Amy Fisher, Jeremy Jackson, Steven Adler, Sean Young and Bai Ling. Throughout the season, we’ll be mixing it up and speaking to a few of the people behind the scenes, this week we kick off episode one with Dr. Drew and resident technician Jenn Gimenez‘s thoughts on the new season and how this group differs from past groups.
On Sunday, June 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, a brand new group of celebrities seeking the help of Dr. Drew Pinsky will move into the Pasadena Recovery Center on a search for sobriety on Celebrity Rehab 5.
In this supertrailer for the fifth season of the show, celebrities including Michael Lohan, Amy Fisher, Dwight Gooden, and Steven Adler move in, and find out who among them is “dying to use,” which celeb falls off a roof, and try to figure out what Shelly Sprague is talking about when she says “This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen in any season we’ve ever had.” As Dr. Drew explains, “Addiction has become the disease of our time,” and hopefully he’ll make an impact as these eight celebrities try to overcome their demons.
It’s always fun to follow celebrities on Twitter, but here at VH1, our on-air talent has taken Tweeting and turned it into an art form. Take the cast of Mob Wives, who went from not even having Twitter accounts seven weeks ago to having more than 100,000 followers now. Or the ladies from Basketball Wives, who keep us updated on all their t-shirt drama, even when the cameras aren’t rolling. (Not to mention the crossover love these women have for one another’s shows, which is kind of sweet.)
The point is, you should be following them, and to make it easy, we’ve taken the liberty of doing all the Twitter dirty work so you can follow everyone on the network just by checking our our comprehensive VH1 Twitterpedia below. Need to know the handles of the folks from the last season of Celebrity Rehab or You’re Cut Off? We’ve got all that and more. Check it. Click it. Re-Tweet it.
It’s official, Dr. Drew Pinsky and friends are back for a fifth season of Celebrity Rehab!
The new season will premiere on Sunday, June 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT on VH1, and will feature an (almost) entirely new cast of celebrities seeking the care and advice of Dr. Drew, including Michael Lohan, Bai Ling, Sean Young, Jeremy Jackson, Dwight Gooden, Jessica “Sugar” Kiper, Amy Fisher, and Steven Adler, the Guns n’ Roses drummer who previously appeared on Celebrity Rehab 2. For more information about this latest season, check out all the details after the jump.
Bai, Bai, Bai. If you’re gonna steal something, how about some decent outfits? The actress was caught pocketing two magazines and some batteries at an airport gift shop yesterday in Los Angeles. An employee of the store placed Ling under citizen’s arrest (bad ass!) until the cops arrived. Seriously, do not f*ck with those airport shop clerks – you don’t even wanna know what they’ll do if you try to steal a neck pillow. Bai was then taken by airport police and booked for her crime. She was described as “cooperative but crying.” There’s no word on what she was wearing, but we’re going to guess it was minimal and atrocious. Perhaps the fashion police would be better equipped to handle her case?
Bai has even blogged pics of her time in the airport. There’s no mention of the arrest, just pics of her sitting around and this small post, “Life is a sad song sometime but still sings the beauty for their loved ones……”

Hottie of the Week: Bai Ling
There are few “actresses” in Hollywood as fearless as Bai Ling, the Chinese-American performer whose costume choices are frequently insane. As the girls of Go Fug Yourself have extensively illustrated, the actress’s “whimsical” attire on red carpets all over Hollywood is a boon to photographers everywhere, since she often leaves little to the imagination and doesn’t seem to care when her naughtier bits are exposed. That shouldn’t come as any surprise: Consider, for instance, her appearance on the cover of Playboy. That shoot was supposedly to promote Bai Ling’s appearance in Star Wars III, but her scene was cut. The magazine came out anyway. OK, so she’s never going to rise to the top of the celebrity pyramid — no need for Angelina Jolie to watch her back — but for mid-level fashion entertainment, Bai Ling can’t be beat. Unless, say, you’re a fan of the Hustler store or The Robin Byrd Show.
