Will Liza Minnelli Say No, No, No to Celebrity Rehab?

VH1’s Celebrity Rehab is looking for star power—and they’ve got their sights set on Liza with a Z, according to gossip hounds TMZ. The site claims that while Minnelli has “no interest” in doing the show, which follows high profile (or formerly high-profile) substance abusers as they go through treatment, Celebrity Rehab is still in talks with the famous actress’ team. Negotiations are said to be in the “$500,000 universe” if Minnelli agrees to participate.

The Tony- and Oscar-winning actress famously signed in at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, back in 1984, after pulling out of Broadway’s The Rink. She followed up with a stay at the Caron Center in 2003.

Without Minnelli, the show might not go on at all. According to TMZ, the fourth installment of the reality series, hosted by treating physician Dr. Drew Pinsky, needs an infusion of "celebrity" to get the green light from VH1. Current participants include MySpace starlet turned reality TV vixen Tila Tequila and former Laguna Beach burnout Jason Wahler. Previous patients treated on the show include actor Daniel Baldwin, porn star Mary Carey, model Brigitte Nielsen, civil rights figure Rodney King, actor Gary Busey, notorious madam Heidi Fleiss and basketball player Dennis Rodman.
