And thus, the Great Jeremy London Saga 2010 reaches its inevitable conclusion: on a fucking reality TV show. From Vh1 Blog:

Similar to the first three cycles, the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew will follow the real-life experiences of celebrity patients undergoing detoxification and treatment at the Pasadena Recovery Center. The show will include Jeremy London (Party of Five, 7th Heaven), Rachel Uchitel (Infamous Party Planner), Janice Dickinson (The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency), Leif Garrett (Musician), Frankie Lons (Keyshia Cole’s mother), Jason Wahler (The Hills) and Jason Davis (Socialite).

Oh sure. It just so happens that Jeremy London was kidnapped by people after they helped him fix his car and drove his wife home, at which point they definitely held a gun to his head and forced him to “smoke drugs” and also buy alcohol for people in the neighborhood (this story never gets less confusing nor less hilarious) but he ALSO needs help via the services of a Vh1 reality show to deal with his addiction. TWO SEPARATE UNRELATED THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN HIS NORMAL LIFE, BOTH OF THEM VERY NORMAL AND NOT AT ALL BASED ON LIES OR DELUSIONAL SELF-OBSESSION. The end. (Or is it?) (Jeremy London is my totem.)

  1. I knew it would come to this! Is it wrong that I am jumping up and down like a 12 year old girl at Justin Beiber concert? The anticipation of the season premiere is killing me!

  2. I love that “Mother of Someone Sort of Famous,” “Socialite,” and “Party Planner/Professional Mistress” are all considered celebrities to the VH-1 family.

  3. They’re going to have to kidnap me and put a gun to my head to force me to watch this show.

  4. I assume that when the recaps show up on Videogum, our story will be that crackheads forced us, at gunpoint, to watch each episode.

  5. Do you think Jason Davis self-identifies as a “Socialite?”

  6. It would be rad if during the entire show they make lots of jokey drug references to Dazed and Confused for Jeremy London’s benefit and he has to explain over and over again that he wasn’t in that movie.

  7. “Infamous Party Planner” — my business card in about a week.

  8. i think it’s significant that the two biggest stars on this season are jeremy london (party of five, ridiculous kidnapping stories) and some guy from the hills (the hills).

  9. I literally know who none of those people are, besides Jeremy London. Were they all forced to smoke crack at gunpoint, too?

  10. I didn’t sign up to go to Celebrity Rehab, some black guy kidnapped me and then left me off here, and he also gave me $20 bucks since he said I looked like I could use it

  11. I hate you Dr. Drew. Your stupid radio program makes my 10pm drive home the worst. I’d rather listen to NOTHING than your dumb show…and so i do.

    • Definitely he is a creep. Imagine being married to him. First you’re all, Honey you work late let’s have separate bedrooms so you don’t wake me up when you come home at 2 a.m. after the radio show; eventually it’s his & hers Jacuzzis and two separate soy milks in the fridge because you KNOW he drinks out of the carton and you don’t want his backwash.

    • umm, there are other stations, no?

      • no. i just have the one station asshole. OBVIOUSLY if there was anything besides Love Line or country or John Tesh I would listen to something else…but there is not. …and my car doesn’t always pick up NPR (#boo)

        Welcome to Kansas: Bring an MP3 player.

        • oh, god, Kansas, I’m so sorry

        • I was going to say that I’ve had some good times in Kansas City, but it was in the Missouri part. Sorry.

          • Kansas is fine…it is more than fine, it is lovely…it just has a lot of Country Music stations…and so when my awesome “alternative” station chooses to air “Dr. Drew gives bad advice to idiots in an exploitive manner” I am just SOL for radio. Also at 6:30 Sunday Mornings they play some Finance show? I mean, I am not a Radio Programmer but I do drive at odd times and I would appreciate if my outdated media kept me entertained. What do you expect me to do? Pay for something to make this go away?

    • i actually still enjoy listening to loveline, and wish i had a reason to be in the car at 10:00 at night. without adam carolla, it isn’t as good, but i still like it.

    • I shamlessly love Dr. Drew. And I actually listen to Loveline every morning via the iPhone app. The callers crack me up with their stupidity.

      • there is an iphone app to listen to loveline? that makes me want an iphone. i’m sure you can listen to the show online, but when i’m in front of a computer, i’m either at work or watching television… priorities.

        also, a few nights ago i had a dream that dr. drew was my doctor. the dream was weird and scary, but him being my doctor was the part that seemed normal.

  12. Why aren’t Jeremy London’s kidnappers going to be on Celebrity Rehab 4? At this point, aren’t they bigger stars than he is?

  13. “Cycles”??? Why isn’t it just called a “season”? When did this become a normal thing?

  14. I just read that Rachel Uchitel has said that she does not use Drugs or Alcohol, but rather is addicted to love….not sex. Because if it was sex she could have been on the Sex Addiction show. Her problem is Love and sleeping with married men. THIS IS THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

  15. I can already imagine what the interview process will be like:

    Dr. Drew: Jeremy, what happens when you first take the drugs?

    Jeremy: Well, first they knock me OUT COLD and then I wake up all DAZED AND CONFUSED.

    Dr. Drew: Is this what really happens, or are you just plugging movies your brother has been in?

    Jeremy: Are you accusing me of lying? Be careful, I may break out into THE RAGE: CARRIE 2.

  16. When he goes to court he can just be like “Judge, I obviously hit rock bottom. As you can see. Sunday nights at 10pm eastern on VH1.”

  17. Leif Garrett??!

  18. I “FINALLY” had a chance to see 2012 this weekend. Besides it being Amanda Peet’s tour de force, it was a really uplifting story with a fantastic ending. Only because I get to hear stories like this and grow ever so hopeful that it happens.

  19. and just like that attention whore the Linbergh Baby, Jeremy London uses a kidnapping to stay famous.

  20. Anyone know if his poor “kidnapper” is still sitting in jail right now?

  21. I’ve been waiting for you London…

  22. I bet that devious Jeremy London will knock out Jason and plant him in the rehab clinic (they have to go to a clinic right) while he drives off in to the meth hazed distance.

  23. for better/worse for a second i though it said frankie muniz

  24. What’s Dickinson’s addiction, being in shit reality shows? Botox? The sound of her own foghorn voice?

  25. Where my Jasons and Jeremys at????

    Awwww yeah.

  26. Leif is on celebrity rehab, but who will replace him on Smoking Gun Presents: The World’s Dumbest?
