Dr. Drew on How Celebrities Are Seducing America

Following the antics and self-destructive behaviors of Britney and Lindsay is a guilty pleasure of many Americans. Thanks to gossip sites and paparazzi photos online available 24/7, we can feed our craving for celeb antics whenever we want.  But a new book indicates that we are obsessed to such a degree that we mimic celebrity’s bad behavior in extreme ways.  The so-named “Mirror Effect” explains how celebrities like Paris, Lindsay and Amy Winehouse have also changed what we consider "normal" behavior and how their celebrity narcissism is seducing America. Dr. Drew, the host of “lovline” and VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” is here to cure your addiction.  

 

Guests:

Dr. Drew Pinsky: Host of “Loveline,” the star of VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew,” and the co-author of “The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissism is Seducing America”
