VH1 enters "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew"

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - VH1 has ordered eight episodes of "Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew," a series where the addiction-medicine specialist treats a group with sex compulsion issues.

The spinoff from "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" is one of two new series orders and several pickup announcements the network made Wednesday.

The network has also greenlighted "New York Goes to Work," the latest spinoff in the reality franchise starring Tiffany "New York" Pollard. This time, she'll learn a new job skill each week.

The network also ordered second-season renewals for "I Want to Work for Diddy," "Brooke Knows Best," "Gotti's Way 2," and "Tool Academy" and a third year of "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew."

In "Sex Rehab," Dr. Drew Pinsky will treat a group in Los Angeles and try to shed light on misconceptions about the issue. Eight one-hour episodes have been ordered, and the show will premiere this fall.

"New York Goes to Work," the follow-up to "I Love New York," has fans voting on what job Pollard will learn to do each week -- such as sewer worker, a mortuary beautician or a fast food employee. The half-hour series starts May 4.
