REALITY TV CIRCUS

Seth “Shifty” Binzer, the lead singer from CrazyTown is still on the loose, leaving paths of Slurpee cups and gauze from tattoo parlors in his wake as he searches for the next fix in this last episode of VH1’s Sober House.

It’s sad really, to have to see this on national TV, but hopefully it helps other recovering addicts realize there is no way out once you’re in this deep. Anyway, if you don’t think celebs read their own press clippings you’re crazy.

Binzer attributes his relapse to a comment Mary Carey’s boyfriend/hanger-on/manager David Weintraub said about him being a “has-been.” What in the hell does Weintraub call himself? A star? LOL

So in this episode we find Binzer shifting from place to place, finally ending up at porn star Jessica Jaymes’ pad, in which the crew (Carey included) discover Jaymes has a black eye.

Although it’s not revealed where she got the shiner, it’s pretty obvious “Shifty” may have had something to do with it. Probably a fight over drugs, who knows? Jaymes did reveal that Binzer may have “jacked” her bottle of Xanax, an anti-depressant.

She seemed more interested in her Xanax than in Binzer’s whereabouts. Hmm….Anyway, as the episode came to a halt Shifty’s friends went looking for him and found him at a hospital, only to find Binzer wasn’t quite ready to go back to sober living, having done a Bruce Jenner and leaping over a small retaining wall outside the hospital where he stayed after suffering a cardiac arrest.

There was one good thing that happened from this episode, however. Rodney King went to the site where he was famously attacked and forgave his attackers. For some it does seem likt it’s time to forget about the past, although the past will never forget about him.
