Rock stars to kick drugs on camera for Brit TV series

quote:

Pete Doherty and other UK users approached for reality series that will show their detox to the world


Doherty onstage with his band Babyshambles, CP

Endemol is at it again, courting controversy with a new reality show. The producers behind Big Brother and Deal or No Deal are planning a reality series that will put famous drug addicts into a Big Brother-style house and let the cameras roll.

Endemol are touting the show as a serious social experiment, trying to claim some of the credibilty a show like Intervention has managed to build up, but an anonymous insider said "Endemol are using drug problems as entertainment and treating addiction like a joke."

It seems unlikely the show would make it across the pond, although not for the reasons you'd hope. Pete Doherty, Donny Tourette and other (mostly music) stars who've been approached for the series aren't well-known here. Doherty is the most familiar to American audiences, for his relationship with Kate Moss and his drug problems. But in the UK, the award-winning poet and songwriter is - or was - considered a national treasure, and was famous for his work, not his heroin habit. Until recently, anyway.

Endemol may be way off-base thinking anyone wants to watch the DTs - even famous DTs. If we did, Courtney Love would still have a career.

I'm against this too. Pete Dougherty is my pick in the celebrity death pool.

Meh, it's a win win win.

1.) recovery
2.) entertainment
3.) ratings

Seriously doubt the seriousness of the matter when its turned into a circus.

I think the proper way is privacy, esp. for someone famous.




...i know I'm sounding a lil pickley up the assy....

As entertaining as this show would probably be, I don't think it'd be the proper way to detox. At the same time though, these people agreed to do the show on their own accord.
