Celebrity Rehab will be going on an indefinite hiatus, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
The sixth season of Celebrity Rehab is currently airing on VH-1. Cast members of the current season include Michael Lohan, Amy Fisher, and Bai Ling.
A source connected to the show says: "The decision was made to put the show on hiatus because Dr. Drew Pinsky is just too busy to continue to do the show.
"Dr. Drew can be seen nightly on HLN's Dr. Drew Show, and this fall, he has another television project he is going to be involved with, Life Changers, which is a Telepictures show.

"The amount of time Dr. Drew has to commit to treating celebrities on the show is a tremendous amount of time."
Dr. Drew would "absolutely love to revisit doing the show again in the future when he has the time. Dr. Drew really enjoyed doing the show, even though it could be very emotionally grueling at times."

Did Bai Ling jump off the roof after starving herself to death? Those people that care for the celebs are just plain creepy!

Personally feel Dr Drew gives me the creeps and I really feel like he exploits everyones issues rather than helps them. Its all about TV not about helping people with addictions. Sorry but most are on there for the paycheck nothing else

of course it's about money and ratings. you're not going to help someone on a reality tv show. it's first and foremost a show where things are edited for greater affect. it's not about getting proper therapy.

I can imagine treating rich selfish addicted people gets old after a while.

OOH what a shame! Now he won't be able to exploit any more addicts. One of the lowest 1 year sobriety
rates in the industry. The show was wrong on so many levels.

What, you mean we'll never get a chance to see Dina Lohan pretend to go through rehab? Bummer!
Can't he just pull the show now so we can miss Michael Lohan's pretend performance?

i always wondered how he gets anything done. the guy has a nightly show, two radio shows does guest commentating on pretty much ever news show on TV and he's a practicing physician. dude must not sleep at all.
