Things were looking bleak for former Guns n’ Roses drummer Steven Adler when he was a patient on Dr. Drew’s VH1 reality-detox show Celebrity Rehab … and then we caught the first two episodes of its uber-depressing sequel, Sober House. The series, as the title suggests, is supposed to track addicts coping with the return to semi-independent living in a group home free of drugs and alcohol (but full of Andy Dick — how is that going to help?). So far the entire show has been devoted to watching the guy who played drums on Appetite for Destruction sink deeper and deeper into holy crap territory — he entered the house with needles and a package of heroin, left to sober up, and returned more FUBAR than ever.
Most recently Adler, “high as a kite” as house boss Jennifer Gimenez likes to say, starts violently railing about the cameras tracking his every move — and according to rehab specialist Bob, Steven has never met a camera he didn’t like. When the lights go out in a rolling California brownout, Adler smokes heroin in a bathroom and becomes so disoriented and wobbly he can’t even find his way back to his room (the concerned camera crew try to nudge him back towards the staircase, but he can’t follow hints, let alone keep his eyes open).
What’s worse? The fact that the Celebrity Rehab Website is advertising this calamity with cutesy copy befitting an especially outrageous episode of Full House (”Check out more of Steven’s out of control behavior from this week’s episode!” and “It’s only the first day and the Sober House staff already have their hands full!”). The look on Steven’s wife’s face says it all: this guy is in Intervention-worthy shape, not Rock of Love Bus condition. Trust us, we’d be far happier if Adler was trading germs with wasted Brazilian strippers in vinyl bikinis right about now.
