REPORT: ‘Celebrity Rehab’ Is Trying To Recruit Liza Minnelli

Looks like Dr. Drew has his sites set on Liza Minnelli as his latest recruit for the new season of VH1′s ‘Celebrity Rehab.’ As we’ve already reported, the show has allegedly already signed on Tila Tequila and Keyshia Cole’s mom, Frankie.

According to TMZ:

TMZ has learned “Celebrity Rehab” is setting its sights on Liza Minnelli to headline its new season.

As we first reported, the show was put on ice yesterday because it didn’t have the star power it needed to launch the season.

We’re told the parties have been negotiating but no deal has been struck. Insiders say the figure being negotiated is “in the $500,000 universe.”

We spoke with Liza, who says she has “no interest” in doing the show. But we’re told negotiations continue.

Minnelli reportedly said in 2004 she went back into rehab for alcohol addiction.

We’ve previously reported the names of several other new cast members, including Tila Tequila and Jason Wahler.

We’re told the show could begin shooting as early as Friday.
