CELEBRITY REHAB WITH DR. DREW - JANUARY 10, 2008

VH1 is partnering with the highly respected Dr. Drew Pinsky for the
reality series "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew." The project,
consisting of eight one-hour episodes, is slated to premiere on
January 10, 2008 at 10pm*.

This series will follow the real-life experiences of Brigitte
Nielsen, Chyna, Daniel Baldwin, Jeff Conaway, Jessica Sierra, Jaimee
Foxworth, Seth "Shifty" Binzer, Mary Carey, and Ricco Rodriguez as
they undergo detoxification and treatment at a center in the Los
Angeles area. While these celebrity patients may be accustomed to
receiving special treatment in their everyday lives, they came in for
a major surprise when they entered this no- frills treatment
facility. Dr. Drew was aided in the process by his experienced and
trusted staff of counselors, including registered nurses and other
addiction experts.

In a television first, Dr. Drew Pinsky, a practicing MD and professor
at KECK USC School of Medicine, will give viewers an unflinching look
at exactly how the rehab process works and what it feels like for
participants - whether or not you're a celebrity. Dr. Drew hopes to
use his celebrity patients to humanize the process and show viewers
that treatment is a viable way to break the cycle of addiction.
