Rodney King, Busey Join Celeb Rehab

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Tuesday, June 10, 2008 11:15 AM

Have you ever had your TiVo mess up and not tape the show you wanted? Me too, once or twice. Usually not an issue, right? But today's announcement of the cast of the next season of Celebrity Rehab means that I'll have to literally wait by my TV between now and the premier in October, to insure 100% that I won't miss a minute of what is sure to be the best show in all of human history.

Here's the cast:

Rodney King (Police brutality victim)
Jeff Conoway (Apparently, season one didn't work.)
Sean Stewart (Rod Stewart's son)
Amber Smith (model/actress)
Nikki McKibbon (American Idol)
Steven Adler (Guns n Roses)
Tawny Kitaen (Actress)

As if that wasn't enough, Garey Busey(!) will be on hand to (get this) guide the celebrities through the rehab process.

A clear cut sign you have hit rock bottom: Gary Busey visits to help you.

A clear cut sign your career has also hit rock bottom: Not only are you on a reality television program about rehab (and it's the only gig you can get), one of your castmembers is Rodney King.

If anyone on this show says they don't need help, they should look to the above statements to prove otherwise.

Already this is shaping up to be the greatest event in the history of television.

If anyone can upstage Conoway... it's Busey!! I can't wait to see those two go at it.

I remember the last time Rodney King was on television because of drugs.

I knew Jeff was coming back since the Season 1 Reunion. He was a WRECK the first season! Hopefully, he won't be as bad this time around.

I haven't really heard of any of the other people on there besides Tawny Kitaen & Busey. Then again, I didn't know many of the people from the first season. BTW, why is Busey guiding the celebrities? The only people that need to guide them are Dr. Drew & his highly paid associates!
