Rocker STEVEN TYLER has taken aim at DR. DREW PINSKY and his U.S. reality show CELEBRITY REHAB, insisting the "ghoulish and unreal" series exploited his pal STEVEN ADLER’s weaknesses.
The former Guns N’ Roses drummer was kicked out of the band in 1989 amid rumours his drug use was hampering his performance, and he has long struggled with his addictions.
He was ordered into rehab in 2009 following a 2008 felony drug charge, and his battle to get clean was chronicled on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and its spin-off series Sober House.
But Tyler has accused TV bosses of giving Adler cash to "act out his own messed-up state" while he was a patient at a California facility where the show was filmed.
In his new book, Does The Noise In My Head Bother You, Tyler writes, "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." And Tyler has also questioned the programme’s credibility, adding: "It didn’t seem to me all that ethical using actual f**ked-up people like Steven Adler in a reality show, but who am I to say? "Not to mention getting trashed celebrities to mime their own self-destructive nosedives which they then sensationalise on a melo-f**king-dramatic reality show, which so traumatises them they end up in worse shape than ever - from the drugs they bought with the money from the show." Adler is set to join Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew for another season later this year (11), alongside stars including Michael Lohan and Jeremy Jackson. The rocker has told fans he wants to ensure he keeps up his recovery and stays "on the right track".

MADINA LAKE rocker MATTHEW LEONE has returned to the stage less than a year after he was left fighting for his life in a coma - and he admits he was terrified of performing live again.
The bassist was subjected to a savage beating in Chicago, Illinois in June last year (10) after intervening in a domestic dispute between two strangers.
He made a remarkable recovery after undergoing brain surgery following the attack, and he wowed fans by returning to the stage at the band’s gig in their hometown of Chicago last month (23Apr11).
Leone tells Kerrang! magazine, "I was really scared. By the time we started with Never Take Us Alive, everything came back to me and felt normal. All that fear just disappeared and the energy of the fans carried me along the whole way." Frontman Nathan Leone - Matthew’s twin brother - adds, "We wanted to do this show so badly so we could be Madina again… We’re all so proud of him."

Australian comedian ANDY LEE’s house was burgled while he was on television the morning after the Logie Awards.
The TV personality appeared at the prizegiving ceremony, which honours the best in Australian television, on Sunday night (01May11).
He then appeared on Australia’s Today Show the following morning, along with his comedy partner Hamish Blake, and returned home to find his music equipment had been stolen.
And he’s convinced he was targeted because the thieves knew he wasn’t at the property as they could see him on the small screen.
Taking to his Facebook.com page, Lee writes, "House was robbed this morn! Smart thief, probably saw Ham & I in bath robes on Today & realised we were in no state to fight crime today! Thieves took 2 guitars and a pedal board but I’ve added a few things for the insurance claim… Like the Mona Lisa and Justin Beiber (sic)."
