Gary Busey by Eric Charbonneau/WireImage.com
As previously reported, VH1 is bringing back Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew for a second season of exploiting chronicling the struggles celebs face while detoxing in a treatment facility. But this time around, there's one huge reason to watch: Gary Busey.Busey, whose wild antics have been well-documented (most recently his crazed behavior on the red carpet at the 2008 Academy Awards), is remarkably not one of the celebs in for treatment. Instead — touting 13 years of sobriety since his cocaine addiction — Busey will be a mentor to the new class of patients which includes Season 1 cast member Jeff Conaway (Grease), Sean Stewart (son of music icon Rod Stewart), model/actress Amber Smith, Rodney King, Guns N' Roses' Steven Adler, Tawny Kitaen and former American Idol wanabe Nikki McKibbin. Here's hoping at least one of his sessions involves teaching the addicts how to yell at teenaged journalists.The series will follow the patients during a 21-day program featuring group and o...

Gather round children because it's time for "Street Lesson With Uncle Gary." Why the people trying to promote the game Saints Row 2 chose Gary Busey as the spokesperson in their ads, we're not exactly sure. Perhaps it’s the fact that he's reclaimed his fame (though not the good kind) after the Seacrest red-carpet insanity? Or maybe it's just because the guy is plain whacked. Seriously, you have to listen to his laugh!

Gary Busey’s been getting more buzz this week than he probably did during his whole combined career—and it's all because he’s acting like himself! When the actor began an interview with a celebrity website, he showed his "crazytown" side when he was asked about his thoughts on young Hollywood getting into trouble (after the question was rephrased three times so he could grasp it).

We’ve always been fairly certain that Gary Busey is cookoo for Cocoa Puffs, but after last night’s red carpet incident where he went after Ryan Seacrest in the middle of another interview and kissed Jennifer Garner on the neck, we’re positive that’s the case. Beyond wanting to know why this guy is so whacked, what we’re dying to know is, why the hell was Gary Busey even there in the first place?

This season has been a real roller-coaster ride in terms of quality, but tonight’s episode was most definitely a high point in my book. First, we had Gary Busey using Johnny Drama as his body art canvas. Next, Mary J. Blige stopped in for her annual Make-Me-Understand-What-I-Pay-You-For meeting. And finally, Peter Jackson offered Eric a glimpse of legitimacy as Vince’s representation. All of these storylines were funny and entertaining and reminiscent of what I’ve always liked best about this show — how these four childhood friends navigate the ins and outs of Hollywood.I don’t know if Gary Busey is as crazy as his public persona would have you believe, but he was pure lunacy tonight as he introduced Drama to the high art of body painting. Meanwhile, Ari prepped for his meeting with Mary J. Blige while mediating the sibling rivalry between identical twin agents. (Naturally, Mary J. was the only one who could tell which was which, and she happened to like the...

Joan & Melissa LIVE at the Academy Awards5:30: I'm so glad my colleagues over at the channel have decided to go blue for the red carpet. Setting the tone for the evening, Joan Rivers begins with a slightly disturbing scene in which she spreads 'em for Matt Dillon in Crash and groans a lot. And she warns us that there are many more such scenes from the nominated movies to come. Next she gives a nod to Isaac Mizrahi's infamously presumptuous Golden Globes coverage at rival E!. "I would never be so presumptuous!" she declares while she pokes Lisa Rinna in the boob. Instead of groping her interviewees, she'll be using cards to indicate whether they are wearing underwear and/or have real breasts. This'll be interesting.
5:33: Joan gives her own thank-you speech tailor-made to offend her entire crew: "We are color-blind here at TV Guide. Right, black person?" Then she fills the time

American IdolAnother season of American Idol begins with double the twin action. Does anyone agree that two sets of male twins plus the small-town Barrettsmith sisters might be overkill in the family-drama department? It smells a touch gimmicky, but at least all the siblings can back it up with their voices. So can single-named diva Mandisa and Gina, the tongue-pierced, fishnet-wearing dental assistant who managed a decent Celine Dion vocal. But really, we don't tune in to see the true talents this early in the season. There will be plenty of time to see how they fare. No, the premiere episode is all about the truculent train wrecks, and Chicago was full of 'em. Here's a hint for future Idol wannabes: When the judges r

Scrubs The absurdity is just out of control on this show. I still laugh when I think about last week's kung-fu-fighting scene and the chest hands. They proceeded to get even more out of control this week. Elliot, who normally annoys me, had some of the best moments, like when she agreed with Carla's sentiment that "helping someone move is like oral sex: You do it once and then they owe you for life." Just the look on her face when she was talking about the guy who still does her taxes — priceless. Also, she names her eggs during ovulation, comes up with cutesy terms like Icky Sticky for sexual acts or conditions and, best of all, her conclusion that, for a guy, a baby isn't the worst thing that can come out of sex. "Losing a baseball scholarship because a bear ate your arm is a much worse conseque
