American Idol

Steven Tyler has been in and out of rehab more times than Ryan Seacrest checks his hair before going on camera, which is probably why he felt qualified to comment on addiction-medicine specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. In his new memoir, Does the Noise In My Head Bother You? Steven has a few choice words regarding the popular celebrity M.D. and his hit VH1 show, Celebrity Rehab.

The Idol judge was checked into L.A.-area hospital Las Encinas at the same time as former Guns N’ Roses drummer Steven Adler. Tyler recalls how Adler was asked by Celebrity Rehab producers to fake a drug-induced stupor for cameras:

"They wanted him to act out his own messed-up state when he entered rehab. It was ghoulish and unreal. They gave him 30 grand for the episode, he snorted it all, crashed his car, and he ended up in jail detox,” writes Tyler.

"It didn't seem to me all that ethical using actual (expletive)-up people like Steven Adler in a reality show,” continued Tyler, “but who am I to say? Not to mention getting trashed celebrities to mime their own self-destructive nosedives which they then sensationalize on a melo-(expletive)-dramatic reality show, which so traumatizes them they end up in worse shape than ever — from the drugs they bought with the money from the show."

The Aerosmith frontman then added that had Pinsky approached him to do the show, he would’ve not-so politely declined to take part in the "psychopharmalogical dogma." Way to go a full seven-syllable word without inserting an expletive, Steven.
