Dr. Drew: Jason Wahler, 23, Has "Alcohol Damage" of 50-Year-Old

Dr. Drew Pinksy is making some sobering observations about former Laguna Beach star Jason Wahler, who he treats on VH1's Celebrity Rehab (premiering Wednesday at 10 p.m. EST).

"The one thing that struck me in the opening day was, I did his physical exam and he had clear stigmata -- signs of advanced alcoholism," Pinksy says of Wahler, 23. "This guy's in his early 20s and he has the kind of alcohol damage that usually I've seen in 50-year old dads."

After Wahler's sixth alcohol-related arrest in March, the reality star told UsMagazine.com that he felt "very, very ashamed of everything." Though he went to AA meetings up to five times a week, he "started falling out of the program" once he began to pursue an acting career.

Because of Wahler's troubled past, Pinsky wasn't exactly surprised when he joined stars such as Janice Dickinson, Jason Davis and Rachel Uchitel for the series' fourth season.

"This guy was clear to me as a hardcore alcoholic. I had seen him on the show in Season 1 of Laguna Beach," Pinsky, 52, tells VH1. "I literally was yelling at the television like, 'Is anybody gonna help this kid? You know how much of a drug addict this is? Anybody but me gonna speak up?' And evidently it took quite a bit more before anybody did speak up."

VH1access Interview: Francisco (I Love Money 4)

I did a post I love money 4 interview with Francisco who was also on Megan Wants A Millionaire.  He said that being on I Love Money 4 made a him a better person. We also talk about Blonde Baller backstabbing him, his fling with Brittanya, Mindy and Marcia. He also gives us the scoop on some stuff that we did not  see on TV.  Follow him on Twitter. Check his Facebook Page to view his I Love money 4 pics (never before seen)

VH1access: Hey Fransisco how are you?

Francisco: I'm doing great. Definitely bummed out about getting eliminated though

VH1acces: How was your experience being on I Love Money 4?

Francisco: Being in ILM4 was a great experience. I made some new friends for life and I accomplished something I've always wanted to do. While in ILM4 I learned so much about myself and others and this experience has made me a  better person. 

VH1access: What was the reason behind you and Punisher being enemies?

Francisco: Me and Pun had some beef from MWAM but nothing major, just two really competitive guys. Once in ILM4 I tried to get rid of him early because I knew how powerful and dangerous Punisher would be in the show. I knew that if he got the chance he would mind control the other players and end up running the house, turns out I was right. If Blond Baller didn't go back on her deal with me, ILM4 would have been a totally different show.

VH1access: How did you felt when Blonde Baller went behind your back and chose Punisher for her team after making a deal with you?

Francisco: At that moment I felt terrible. I felt betrayed and I felt stupid for trusting her. That night I went to bed feeling like I made a huge mistake and like my days in the house were numbered. Keep in mind that ILM4 was filmed before RCOL2 aired so I had no way of knowing that BB was not to be trusted. 

VH1access: You also developed a relationship with Mindy. Are you and Mindy cool now?

Francisco: Yes me and Mindy have remained friends since the show. She really is a sweetheart and deserves the best.

VH1access: You also had a fling with Brittanya, did you regret doing that?

Francisco: There is nothing that I regret from the show. At the time it seemed fine and I live life in the moment.

VH1access: Fans want to know what else went down on the show as far as drama that we did not get to see on TV.

Francisco: The fight between Marcia and Brittania was classic and they didn't show any of it. Brittania threw a glass/bottle at Marcia and she missed. Also when Hot Wings freaked out on Garth and threw a vase/glass and missed by hitting the sliding glass door which surprisingly didn't break. Also when Cornfed said that she didn't feel safe in the house with 6gauge, he freaked and started flipping the beds in their room. Not so much drama but one night we had the "stripper olimpics" hosted by 20 pack. Punnisher beat 6Gauge and some of the girls ended up naked in the pool... Good times. Also Garth was hilarious, he kept us entertained with his live comedy.

VH1access: You had the "front row seat" when Marcia fought with Mindy naked. How was that? lol and what are your thoughts on Marcia?.

Francisco: That was hilarious!! It lasted way longer than they showed.There was a part where Marcia had a slice of pizza on her plate and threw it at Mindy. Also ChiChi was behind the curtains talking shit to Marcia and she got pissed and came after him too, butt naked and ready to kill him lmao! Marcia is a sweet girl and a lot of fun. I think she could have gone further in the game but I her love for tequila might have worked against her in the show. 

VH1access: What was your favorite challenge?

Francisco: My answer is obvious, the first one since it's the one I won. Also, bed hopping and the save the animals. My favorite Power Outing was the surfing one by far, It was a blast!!

VH1access: What would have done differently now that the show is over?

Francisco: Not really a lot I would change. I would  pick my team a little differently to make it more balanced. I would take a little more time to think about my answer in the guessing challenge.

VH1access: What have been doing now? Any upcoming appearances/TV projects?

Francisco: This whole Ryan Jenkins thing put a sour taste in this reality tv experience for me. Through this time I put my life on hold for almost 2 years without much to show for, so for now I am more focus in business and on getting my life back on track. That's not to say that I've given up on it so we'll have to see what the future holds.

VH1access: Thank you for doing this interview, do you want to give a shout out to anyone?

Francisco: Thank you VH1 Access for all your support and for helping make ILM4 a success regardless of the lack of support from VH1.

I would like to thank all of our fans, the ones who loved me, the ones who hated me, thank you all for your support.

I would like to give a shout out to the entire cast and the crew that put up with us the whole time specially Taryn, Laura, Joe, and Carlos thank you guys!

I Love Money 4 Finale Airs Tonight at 9PM

BasketBall Wife Gloria is on SEASON 2 Confirmed "THATS WASSUP"

The second season of VH1’s Basketball Wives is already getting some early buzz. Chad Ochocinco confirmed to Ryan Seacrest today that he is engaged to Evelyn Lozada. But the real plot twist here is that Gloria Govan, the fiance of former Orlando Magic forward Matt Barnes, is coming back for another season and the two have set another wedding date.

You may recall that earlier this year, Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan each expressed their discontent with the show saying Shaunie O’Neal, the ex-wife of Shaquille O’Neal, mislead them. Apparently, the two made amends with Shaunie and the network because the couple’s public relations company sent out a release today notifying the public about an official “welcome to Los Angeles” party Govan is throwing for Matt Barnes  

Despite saying she would not return for a second season earlier this spring, Govan’s public relations agency sent out a release today confirming the couple would return to the show and Govan was hosting a party in Los Angeles this weekend in honor of Matt Barnes signing with the Lakers.

From the release: “Make sure to tune into VH1 this season for ‘Basketball Wives’ and I can tell you that you will not be disappointed,” states the beauty siren, Gloria Govan.

Alrighty then.

The couple also announced their wedding is slated for the summer of 2012 and their colors are cobalt blue and lavendar.

Something tells me Otis Smith doesn’t regret cutting Matt Barnes and the surrounding circus.

‘Celebrity Rehab’ 4 Patients Reveal Sexual Abuse, Prostitution, Thoughts of Suicide

Janice Dickinson wants to hang herself.

The former supermodel – and all around hot mess – says severe alcoholism and years of abuse at the hands of her father have left her ready to take her own life.

On season four of ‘Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew‘ – premiering Wednesday at 10/9c on Vh1 – the self-described “damaged beauty” reveals:

“I was locked in car trunks.  I was taped and gagged so that he could have his way (with her sister).  I was locked in a silent terror of a monster… I am an alcoholic.  And a chemically dependent woman.  I want to drink and I want to party.  My behavior is becoming unsober-like because I hit menopause.”

Janice, 55, also reveals “I haven’t felt good for months.  Maybe a couple of years.  The shame is overbearing… I wanted to go to the bathroom and try to hang myself. I want it to end!”

So who’s cut off their family?  Who can’t pee in a cup?  And who used to walk the streets for money? It all comes out as eight “celebrities” try to conquer their demons…

JASON DAVIS (Billionaire Playboy) The grandson of a billionaire oil tycoon shows up at The Pasadena Recovery Center with both hands bandaged from a freak “cooking” accident. “(After) nine interventions and an arrest, the cat was out of the bag,” he says of his three year heroin addiction.  “My mom cut me off.  Look at me now.  I am 25 and I walk with a cane.  I don’t want to be broke.  I don’t want to die.  I want to get cleaned up, get sober and show the world that I am not a joke.”

ERIC ROBERTS (Actor) He’s been nominated for an Oscar but is still more famous for being Emma’s dad and Julia’s sister. “I cleaned up years ago, but I am (still) a pot head,” he says.  “That is the last thing I have to get rid of.”  Well, that and: “I am your standard A-hole when I am not dosed.”
