You mean she just did it for the attention? Producers for VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” have canned Michaele Salahi from the reality show, saying the White House party-crasher doesn’t have an addiction and is therefore ineligible to be on the show. So why was she there in the first place? Earlier, officials were cagey about what she was receiving treatment for, and they now say they were incorrectly informed that she was worthy of the Dr. Drew treatment. Unsurprisingly, Salahi’s husband isn’t missing the opportunity to draw the incident out and get more attention. He says the couple will sue, alleging that “Celebrity Rehab” actually fired her because of her multiple sclerosis, which could violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.
