Well, it wasn't too hard, but Dr. Drew managed to put together another crew of celebrities who have succumbed to the excesses of life as a celebrity. This year, Gary Busey (aka Teddy Jack Eddy) will serve as a "mentor to the stars" for a group that somehow needs to put their problems on display for all to see. Gary has been sober for thirteen years and will offer his experience and understanding to this group of celebrities. Dr. Drew is, of course, in charge of the whole affair which premieres October 23 at 10:00 pm EST on VH1.

This year's cast, in addition to Busey, includes Nikki McKibbon (American Idol), Steven Adler (Guns N' Roses), Sean Stewart (Rod Stewart's son), Rodney King (LAPD beating victim) and Amber Smith (model). Also returning for Season 2 is Jeff Conaway (actor) who couldn't quite overcome his addictions during Season 1 of the show. If Jeff only knew how many people are pulling for him. Good luck to Jeff and the whole cast of Celebrity Rehab Season 2 as they embark on their 3 week rehab stay with Dr. Drew and his staff. Gary Busey should be enough to scare these people plain straight don't you think?
