Celebrity Rehab 2 begins filming – cast revealed

“Celebrity Rehab 2“ started production yesterday at Dr. Drew’s facility in Pasadena, CA, according to the NY Post. Filming is expected to continue for the next three weeks, following the cast through an intensive 21-day program. Most of the cast members have been identified.

The cast includes Rodney King (“Can’t we all just get along”), Nikki McKibbin (American Idol), Tawny Kitaen (model and original rock video babe), Amber Smith (model), Steven Adler (Guns N’ Roses), Sean Stewart (son of Rod). Jeff Conaway who was in the first “Celebrity Rehab” is also back! Conway went through a dangerous detox on last season’s edition before leaving the show early. He should just move in there permanently to assure the proper level of drama.

And speaking of guaranteed drama, Gary Busey is also onboard but to my surprise he will take on more of a counselor type role. Gary Busey, who claims 13 years of sobriety, is joining the cast to help the stars through the recovery process.

Heidi Fleiss, was also supposed to be part of the cast but bailed out at the last minute.

There are rumors that Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach and singer Aaron Carter might also be rehabbing this season.
The new season premieres in October.
