THE WHORE IS TIRED

So Dr. Drew has decided to stop doing celebrity rehab because he is tired of taking heat for the deaths. This is another way for that piece of shit to get attention and make himself a martyr. I don't think anyone with a brain cell would accuse him of being guilty. Anyone that knows anything will accuse him of being what he is and that is a whore. I am sure there is a big question as to why I call him that. I cal him a whore because as a therapist he should know that addiction is a private issue that should be solved as such and not in front of millions of people.

Rehabilitation is a process that can take months ad sometimes years and while there are people that never pull through there are those that do. For a celebrity to appear on television after years of being ignored is like a ray of light. When a celebrity sees that glimmer they assume that their past appeal and faded charms may become bright enough to get them back in the "game." This is the problem with a rehab show, the celebrity is exposing why he or she became a serious liability in the first place. No one that views those shows looks at those celebrities as anything more than poor, and very pathetic souls.

Dr. Drew says that he helped a lot of people and that may be but the fact remains he is smart enough to have known that this type of show would do more harm than good. Just because an addict decides to clean up for the cameras doesn't mean that he or she is ready to go back to whatever position they squandered. This type of show is what's wrong with society today. Dr. Drew knew people were not watching in hopes that Jeff Conaway would go back to being the guy he was in Taxi, Grease, or even Babylon 5. This guy is talking about his motives being questioned and he should understand that the questions come from his being a total sellout for some TV time to prove his "qualifications."

DR. DREW IS A CHEAP WHORE

If you think I call this piece what I call it because of the picture then you are jumping to conclusions. I really dislike Dr. Drew because he is everything that I hate about what medicine has become. Let me try to explain what I mean in a manner that will actually make some sense. I first saw Dr. Drew on the show Loveline back in 1998 or 1999. Dr. Drew was the serious counterpart of well known dipshit Adam Carolla. Loveline as I remember it was basically a show for a bunch of pathetic teens and twenty somethings looking to get advice about how to suck less, or more, at sex.

I thought Dr. Drew was pretty cool by comparison to Adam who is just such a major douchebag. I did not hear much more about Dr. Drew and quite frankly I did not particularly care. I guess Loveline continued on and Dr. Drew's radio and television star began to grow more and more. Eventually I would see Dr. Drew make an impact as a counterpart to that self serving fuck that calls himself Dr. Phil. I still thought Dr. Drew was cool when he broke out as a star of sorts. I stopped thinking that he was cool when his show Celebrity Rehab took to the airwaves. I thought that while celebrities looking for some attention were pathetic to do this he was far more of a dick.

I don't think substance abuse is something to use for the purpose of entertainment. Today marked the death of the fifth participant from that show to die. I understand that addictive behavior is not something that you can just cure overnight. I guess because I understand that I am wondering why a Psychiatrist seems to be cool with attempting to cure long time addicts over a six to eight week period in front of cameras placed strategically in areas where celebrities seem to break down just right. I stated earlier the Dr. Drew was part of what was wrong with medicine today.

I am seeing an evolution where Physicians no longer see their patients but have assistants do it. Money is so important that you will get sent to collections for five dollars and mental health is a televised fad. Fuck guys like Dr. Drew and every Doctor that choses to play a round of golf over seeing a patient. I would never quote Charlie Sheen but he was right Dr. Drew's rate of success is total shit.

WAY TO JUMP THE SHARK JOANIE

I remember watching Happy Days when I was a little boy and getting that special feeling for Erin Moran. Erin Moran was not the greatest beauty but she had this sexy smile and sweet way about her. I was kind of depressed when she went off Happy Days into a life with Chachi. Today I came across an interesting picture of Erin and her an article talking about her present state.

I have to say that to me it is quite depressing seeing her in that state. Someone that accomplished what she accomplished should not be near destitute going from motel to motel with what seems to be a band of drunken toothless idiots. I guess this is Erin Moran's version of jumping the shark. This fits with my theory that jumping a shark is not good for television nor life in general.

I won't judge or say much of anything other than this is sad but at the same time it speaks to how some people seem to have a serious ability to squander gifts and opportunities and  re-invent themselves in the worst ways imaginable. Erin Moran is 51 and she looks like a 70 year old junkie.

I am assuming that Joanie's next stop will be Celebrity Rehab where Jeff Conaway stopped looking worse prior to his tragic death. So is this the way things have to end? I hope Joanie will see some Happy Days again.
