'Celebrity Rehab' Season 5 Casting Rumors
Shooting started Wednesday on the new season of 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew' and reports from the set suggest Dr. Drew will have his hands full with the new cast. According to reports, there's a Lohan, a 'Baywatch' star, a former New York baseball great, and at least two 'Real Housewives.'The show has apparently been after Lindsay Lohan for years without success. However, producers have reportedly nabbed her father and are hoping that Lindsay and/or her mom Dina will appear on the show for some "family counseling."
According to RadarOnline.com Michael Lohan has checked into 'Celebrity Rehab' to deal with his anger management issues, not drugs- or alcohol-related problems.
A source said that he is "absolutely 100 percent sober. ... Michael has tremendous admiration for Dr. Drew, and was given this opportunity to better himself, and he took it."
Just don't hold your breath waiting for the Lohans to appear en famille -- TMZ reports that Lindsey's not taking the news too well. She was apparently "shocked and upset" when she found out, and has told friends she's worried her dad will embarrass the family.
TMZ also reports that Michael Lohan will be joined in the 21-day 'Rehab' program by former 'Real Housewives of D.C.' and White House gatecrashers Michaele and Tariq Salahi, who have been looking for a new TV gig since being dropped by Bravo.
Rounding out the cast are 'Baywatch' star Jeremy Jackson and former New York Mets pitching great, Dwight "Doc" Gooden, both of who have battled drug problems in the past. The final rumored cast member is Chinese-born actress and 'Lost' alum, Bai Ling.
