Shifty Shellshock Falls Off "Sober Living" Wagon

Shifty ShellshockUPDATE: We're now told Shifty checked into the Pasadena Recovery Center after a major drug binge. As for the VH1 show, we're told producers are shooting all the drama but haven't said whether they'll use it on the show.

Crazytown front man Shifty Shellshock might be living out his band's name -- the singer has allegedly run away from his reality TV show.

Shifty's last chance at sobriety and renewed low-level fame was a stint on the new VH1 show, "Sober Living." While shooting scenes for the show on Friday night at GOA nightclub, he skipped out on production -- leaving the cast high and dry.

He is currently MIA. Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that producers are afraid Shellshock could be back to on drugs. VH1 recently paid him for his stint on the show, and he may be using his "Sober Living" cash for drug money.

Shifty posted a video on his MySpace page Saturday night, saying he was checking himself into rehab -- which so far he hasn't done.

We're told that if he doesn't return to the house today, he will be fired from the show. Fired from rehab -- oy vey.

Shifty's manager, David Weintraub, had no comment on the situation.

16. I wonder how much if any money this dude gets from that song that is on my TV 800 times a day in a pepsi commercial that has been running 3 years and was even played when i was at the zoo the other day.

17. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 'When shall I come and appear before God?'
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: 'Where is Thy God?'
These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.

18. I WANT to see him get clean and sober, but with the life he is living it is not going to happen! I have met him, WHEN HE WAS SOBER, SO MUCH HOTTER, I am sure a WAY NICER person, and OBVIOUSLY more successful. Drugs have ruined his Career and his LIFE!! And, honestly I am disappointed in him and I feel bad for his little boy, but THAT is the most important reason he SHOULD be gettin sober! And, yeah it does make me sick that he is getting paid off of this, this should be charity work, the money they make they should have to sign a contract stating the money goes to something Important, for instance Drug Rehabilitation Centers! MAKES SENSE RIGHT!! I DO wish him the best, but I don't HONESTLY see him wanting to change! Or he would have already!
