Did 'Sober Living' Staff Have STEVEN ADLER Arrested?
July 25, 2008TMZ.com reports that Steven Adler's July 18 arrest came about after the former GUNS N' ROSES drummer got into a "confrontation" at the house where he was living as part of the cast of "Sober Living" — a spin-off of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" — and a member of the "Sober" staff called the cops, who came and popped Adler on an outstanding warrant. According to the site, the staff contacted the police because Adler was allegedly doing drugs in the house.
David Weintraub, Steven's manager, told TMZ.com, "Steven Adler's arrest was an unfortunate situation that didn't have to occur in the context of him starring in a television show."
Los Angeles police spokesman Richard French told the Associated Press that the 43-year-old Adler was arrested around 4 a.m. on July 18 by officers called to a home where a man reportedly was creating a disturbance and refusing to leave.
The warrant stems from a 2005 case where Adler was charged for being under the influence of a controlled substance and driving on a suspended license. He then sealed his fate by missing a court date in April of 2006.
"Sober Living", which was described as a cross between "Surreal Life" and "The Real World", reportedly features a number of "Celebrity Rehab" alumni living together in a luxurious Beverly Hills mansion for 30 days while they try to rebuild their careers without drugs and alcohol.
Like "Celebrity Rehab", the new show will prominently feature Dr. Drew Pinsky ("Loveline"),who oversees the celebs during their stints in televised rehab.
Steven Adler last month underwent detoxification and treatment at a center in the Los Angeles area on the second season of the hit reality series "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew". The series, consisting of eight one-hour episodes, is slated to premiere October 2008 on VH1.
Eddie Trunk, XM's Boneyard host who also has a long-running radio show, "Friday Night Rocks", on New York's Q104.3 FM, interviewed Steven Adler at this year's Rocklahoma festival, which took place July 9-13 in Pryor, Oklahoma. Watch the three-minute chat below.
