In Touch Exclusive Interview:Dr. Drew would have been happy to help Corey Haim

March 10, 2010


Eighties teen heartthrob Corey Haim died early March 10 reportedly from a possible prescription drug overdose. And now, Dr. Drew Pinsky has exclusively confirmed to In Touch that the actor was approached to participate in VH1’s Celebrity Rehab. “I heard that our producers reached out recently to him, but that he was angry,” Dr. Drew, of Celebrity Rehab, tells In Touch exclusively. How did they know about his drug problem? “People have been reaching out to me about him for years. His name has come up on every season of Celebrity Rehab,” adding, “Even people on Twitter were contacting me, asking me to do something for poor Corey Haim. Well, I would have been happy to.” And when it comes to the future of drug-addicted Hollywood, Dr. Drew says, “It’s disastrous — it’s really heartbreaking. But I am telling you that there are more to come. We will probably have this conversation one day about someone who has been through Celebrity Rehab. This is a deadly, deadly disease. Do not be surprised when drug addicts die,” he warns, before saying, “Were you surprised when Farrah Fawcett died of cancer? No. Okay, the prognosis for this is just as bad.”

Bryson Bryant, Son of NeNe Leakes, Arrested on Marijuana Charge


For once, drama involving someone on The Real Housewives of Atlanta is NOT being scripted.

Bryson Bryant, the oldest son of NeNe Leakes, was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge on March 7.

Bryant is well known to any long-time Bravo viewer. During the first season of the show, Leakes looked at colleges with him.

“Like any parent, I am disappointed with the actions and arrest of my son, Bryson,” NeNe said in the statement. “Certainly, my husband and I will deal with this family issue in a private manner. My son is not the first young adult to experiment with marijuana, and he certainly won’t be the last.

“Still, as parents, this is a chance for us to have an open dialogue with him about the dangers of any substance abuse. I realize as a parent that my job is never done. And as I’ve tweeted, tough love was in order. Still, I ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.”

We’ll be glad to, but will NeNe do the same? The Real Housewives of Atlanta was picked up for a third season today, after all.

Benji Madden and Holly Madison: Future Roommates?


You wouldn’t have expected them to be an under-the-radar couple, but Benji Madden and Holly Madison are still together.

The pair started dating in December and things have only grown more intense from there.

In fact, reports In Touch Weekly, Madden and Madison will soon be roommates.

“Benji cares very much for Holly. They have been talking about living together,” a source said, adding that Holly will soon leave Las Vegas to reside in Los Angeles with Benji.

Last week, the two were spotted making out at an IT BOYS! music video shoot.

“Benji kept telling her how amazing she looked. They couldn’t keep their eyes off each other,” said a witness.

That might have something to do with Holly’s breasts, of course. They take up an entire room.

Jamie Jungers Wins Tiger Woods Mistress Pageant!


Radio magnate Howard Stern held his long-awaited beauty pageant for Tiger Woods’ mistresses Wednesday, with Jaime Jungers taking home the dubious honors.

To the victor goes a $75,000 cash prize. And that to the hush money he likely paid to keep her from blabbing to the press or Elin Woods, and she did pretty well!

Jamie Jungers‘ win came after she answered most of the leering questions the radio legend threw her way, including those about Woods’ anatomical endowments.

She’s a classy chick, no doubt.

Also competing in the contest, which is simultaneously sad, absurd and hilarious, were Loredana Jolie and Jaimee Grubbs, who pocketed $15,000 as runners-up.

Howard Stern, Tiger Mistresses

Jamie Jungers takes home the prestigious honor.

It was no surprise to see Grubbs taking part in the pageant, given that she shamelessly sold Tiger Woods’ voicemail and has given umpteen interviews about him.

Loredana Jolie? No surprise there either. We would have loved to see a higher turnout, though. What else do you have going on, Cori Rist? Or you, Theresa Rogers?

Rachel Uchitel was barred from competing, due to her settlement with Tiger, which might have altered the results. Did the right woman win? Vote in our poll below!

Did Jamie deserve to win this prestigious honor, or should it have gone to another cocktail waitress? Which Tiger Woods mistress is the hottest?

Celebrity Fit Club’s Rhonda Britten on contestant Kevin Federline: “I was so disappointed”


He may be shedding the pounds, but it looks like Kevin Federline is having some trouble unloading his serious emotional baggage. On week five of
Celebrity Fit Club, the dancer seemed to take the easy way out when resident life coach Rhonda Britten asked the group to discuss the deep anger and betrayal they have experienced in the past. Instead of venting about any dark issues, including his 2006 split from ex-wife Britney Spears and his subsequent self-proclaimed depression, Kevin merely mentioned bad drivers as life’s biggest nuisance. “I was so disappointed that he chose something so shallow to be angry about. He doesn’t want to admit the truth. It was a real letdown; a cop-out. Everybody else was spilling their guts,” Rhonda tells In Touch about Kevin’s inability to delve into his demons. It was a far cry from earlier episodes, where Kevin shared his heartache and the pain of public scrutiny he has had to endure. “He had been so forthright, and then he just stopped!” Rhonda adds. But with the season only at its midpoint, Kevin still has some time to grow. Catch Rhonda on her Fearless America tour, stopping in Houston on March 14, Austin on March 16, Dallas on March 17, and Oklahoma City on March 18. To find out more, visit

Jake Pavelka: Allegedly Cheating on Vienna Girardi, Spending “All His Time” with Chelsie Hightower


Celebrity gossip magazines are having a field day with Jake Pavelka.

Since proposing to Vienna Girardi on The Bachelor season finale, Jake has been a busy man, signing on for Dancing with the Stars – and becoming a tabloid staple.

Not only has he been devoting himself to his fiancée by stepping out with her at Koi and all the other hip Hollywood eateries, he’s been practicing like a madman.

He’s also been accused of cheating by ex-girlfriend Tanya Douglas, and been the subject of breakup rumors and office pools ever since he got down on one knee.

Can Jake and Vienna stand the test of time and walk down the aisle? These dueling, scandalous covers would suggest otherwise … though they’re likely bogus:

Jake and Vienna: Cheating!Jake Pavelka, Chelsie Hightower

Life & Style says Jake was caught cheating. OK! says he’s been spending every minute with his sexy new dance partner. Could the stories be related? Or at all relevant?

We’re not sure which cover’s better, the one blatantly asserting that their wedding is off, or the one implying inappropriate relations between Jake and Chelsie Hightower.

Without actually coming out and saying it, of course.

“Jake’s the same as he was on The Bachelor. When I first met him, I felt like I already knew him,” Chelsie said. “He’s just a real nice guy always looking out for others.”

He really is. Personally, Jake makes THG’s day each time he goes on a new reality show or poses for a blatantly staged cover with the two women in his life. Genius.

Will Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi last?

Jennifer Aniston, Gerard Butler Heat Up W


Maybe they’re just friends, maybe they’re not. But Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler definitely got down, dirty and downright smoldering for the W Magazine cover!

How dirty? Literally pretty dirty. Jennifer’s stylist, Chris McMillan, was instructed by famed photographer Steven Klein, not to wash her hair. The result? Raw sexiness.

“At the end of the first day, Steven came up to me and goes, ‘Could you please ask her if she could not wash her hair and just show up tomorrow?’” McMillan recalls.

The Bounty Hunter actress was all too happy to oblige – and just look at the results. If Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler were any hotter, well, they’d be Brangelina.

Ironically, Jen and Gerry’s cover shoot was done by Klein, who shot Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, ’60s family style, for the mag in 2005. Begging the question …

The Biggest Loser: What you didn’t see!

StephanieAnderson0310.jpg

Stephanie Anderson started this season of The Biggest Loser with her mom, Patti, but the team was split up in week two when Patti was sent home. But Stephanie wasn’t on her own for long: She and Sam are in love! Thankfully, the couple got to stay together when Michael won the chance to split the players into Blue and Black teams during this episode. His decision to stack the deck heavily in his favor has turned the show into a David vs. Goliath battle, earning Jillian’s wrath. “Jillian lost her marbles. She went bananas when she saw the teams,” Stephanie tells In Touch. “What they didn’t show was that she called Michael a name, and said he was like a cartoon joker. She was genuinely upset with him, and that scared the living daylights out of me. Then, instead of ‘This really sucks,’ it turned to ‘I’m going home.’” The Black Team beat the odds and won the weigh-in (sealing Miggy’s fate), but their luck ran out the next week. As Daris rejoiced in the Blue Team’s win, the Black Team sent home his mom, Cheryl.

Read on as Stephanie gives intouchweekly.com readers the exclusive behind-the-scenes dish about the dramatic past two weeks.

Jessica Simpson’s sexy revenge

JessicaSimpson0310.jpg

John Mayer’s racy Playboy interview has ended up being quite the personal ad — for his ex Jessica Simpson. “My phone is ringing off the hook, I have to say!” Jessica revealed on Oprah, discussing the aftermath of being referred to as “sexual napalm” by the singer-songwriter. But Jessica, 29, is getting her payback: she’s been basking in male attention ever since. Not only was The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner seen talking with Jessica at a pre-Oscars cocktail party, she’s also begun texting with the newly single Ryan Phillippe. “Jessica has had a crush on Ryan for ages,” a friend explains. “They’re planning to get together soon.”
