Mary Carey’s VH1 Reality Show Features Her Going To Rehab For Three Weeks

Mary emails me May 6: "Well, the rehab show is with Dr. Drew from loveline, and a bunch of celebrites going to rehab, hense the show is called "celebrity rehab". 30 days and a group of celebrites in a private area, all of us with
release forms agreeing to be on camera, so it is not just me . Its for
vh1 celebreality."

She calls me back Friday afternoon, May 4. Audio.

Mary: "Talk to my friend. He’s from [the band] Fort Minor. Say hi."

Her friend says in a black accent: "What up? What up? What up?"

Mary’s enthralled by Fort Minor’s song, "Remember the Name."

In particular, she thrills to these lyrics:

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Mary: "Tell him how we met."

Black man: "Chicago Mancow show."

Mary: "He’s hot."

She calls him something like "Takbir."

She pleads with him to sing the chorus above. She offers him $100 but he turns her down.

"He looks sick, sick as in hot."

"Lukey, I’m going to have a big [reality] show [on VH1]."

"Say hi to Luke…"

"No, no, no. He’s all mainstream. You know how the mainstream celebrities are."

"I’ve been having a great time. I have so much s— coming out I can’t even tell you. I’ve got three major things in the waiting… One of them involves going to rehab on camera for three weeks."

Mary Carey’s investor Craig won’t talk to me. "Everybody hates you," she says, "but I love you."

"Dan the make-up artist hates you."

"I just did a big thing with Doc Johnson."

"I’m loving life. I’m happy for the first time ever. I’m about to enter a huge thing with VH1. I’m starting a show on PrimeTimeUncensored May 14."

"I’m worried about Tawny. Her baby’s missing. We’ve got to find her baby. I’m worried about her. She’s my friend. I can’t talk bad about her."

"I was with the Free Speech Coalition. I love standing up for free speech."

"Luke, I don’t want to talk to you anymore because you make me out to sound retarded and I’m not retarded. So I’m going to hang up."

Fifteen minutes later, she calls back. "I can’t find my sidekick. Have you seen it? When did you last see me with it?"

Luke: "At AVN in January, five months ago."

She hangs up.

Holly writes on XPT:

So I wonder how they are going to manage this one… I remember reality TV show producers approached the managers of the rehab I went to, and they were turned down, for many obvious reasons. Most people who are in rehab don’t want their issues and personal struggles broastcast on national television. It’s a very private thing, and people, in general, are there to get better, not to get famous. So what rehab is honestly going to accept Mary Carey with a whole TV crew following her around? Not to mention that AA meetings are a required part of rehab, and citing the last word in that acronym, "anonymous", you can’t have a television crew filming them. So I’m dying to know how this show is supposed to happen. But if it does, hey, it might be good for her, providing she actually concentrates on the program, which I doubt will happen with the distraction of cameras hovering over her.

…I had a weird dream last night too. I dreamt my mom and I got in a fight, and in a rage she took off speeding in her car. She got in an accident and killed another driver– in fact, decapitated them, right in front of a Wicked movie set. And they just kept on filming, annoyed that I had reached the scene, sobbing, looking for my mom. Apparently I was disturbing the audio track.
