Rachel Uchitel Is Headed for 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew'

Rachel Uchitel, the first of Tiger Woods' many, many mistresses outed by the tabloids, is headed for rehab. Which is straight from the PR handbook for the famous and semi-famous: publicly make a mess of things, lay low, then head for some clinic or center to address your very special problem.

But this isn't your garden variety rehab stint. Nope, it's Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" (Of course it is).

Via the New York Post:
The show's producers apparently believe Uchitel can rescue their ailing ratings. The upcoming fourth season was rumored to be falling apart because the host, Dr. Drew Pinsky, was struggling to find "celebrities" willing to go on camera and off drugs at the same time...

Uchitel also had an offer from Donald Trump to compete on "Celebrity Apprentice." Trump personally called Uchitel a few weeks ago and offered her a place on the next season of the show, TMZ reported last week. She told him "absolutely," according to the celebrity-news Web site, although NBC has the final say on which celebrities make the cut.
So no word yet on if Uchitel will get a shot at "Celebrity Apprentice," but in the meantime, her presence in on-air rehab will do two things: keep her in the public eye (even if just peripherally), and remind us that Tiger cheated on his wife. A lot.

All that's left: Joslyn James holds a press conference to remind us she's still irrelevant.
