Well – what do you know? That Dr. Drew really can work miracles. Just look at how well-scrubbed and borderline sane Frankie Lavern Lons is after a brief trip to VH1′s Celebrity Rehab!
A “Man Down Situation” is headed for VH1′s Celebrity Rehab. Everyone’s Favorite Delusional Recovering Crackhead, Frankie — best known for her turns on BET’s The Way It Is and Frankie & Neffe — appeared on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show on Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 Thursday morning, where she revealed that she will appear on the presently-shelved fourth season of VH1′s Celebrity Rehab.
The sometimes-estranged mother of singer Keyshia Cole is enlisting the help of addictiion specialist Dr. Drew in her battle against alcohol.
“I have really started overdoing it with my drinking. It’s taking its toll because sometimes I wake up and don’t remember nothing. I’m hiding stuff from myself and that means that I need help.”
The premiere of Celebrity Rehab 4 was postponed by VH1 in May after producers fail to land enough big name celebs to appear on the program. So far, reality stars Tila Tequila and Jason Wahler, and ’80s R&B singer Bonnie Pointer have signed up for the show.
Keyshia Cole is pregnant, engaged, and estranged from her f’d-up family. After months of rumors, the singing star is coming clean about her personal life: Yes, she’s planning a wedding with her NBA star fiancé, Boobie Gibson of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Yes, she’s pregnant with their first child. And yes, there is strife between her, her recovering crack addict mother Frankie, and her sisters; professional baby mama Neffe and aspiring artist Elite.
In a statement to her fans Friday, the “Trust” singer says she has ended communication with her family because she was “at a point in my life where I needed serenity and peace to move forward.”
Man Down! Would someone please tell Keyshia Cole to come get her Mama? Frankie Lons, the biological mother of R&B powerhouse Keyshia Cole and star of the BET trainwreck Frankie & Neffe, brought her own brand of tomfoolery to Monday’s edition of Judge Mathis. She was being sued by a member of the group Freak Nasty…..Lawd Have Mercy…for allegedly breaching her contract to appear at the nightclub he owns.
