"Sober Living" -- A Living Hell

Hollywood residents have been contacting TMZ, bitterly complaining that the VH1 reality show "Sober Living" is turning their lives upside down ... and it's a house that's a stone's throw from Brad and Angie's pad.

The show, which features Z-listers including Shifty Shellshock, Mary Carey and (drum roll) Rodney King, captures on camera the lives of substance abusers struggling to stay sober in the same house.

We went out to the neighborhood today and got an earful. For starters, people who deny themselves drugs and/or alcohol tend to scream like muthas, day and night. Neighbors are constantly complaining about the trash from the house (they're also complaining about the garbage).

People in the house are concerned about blowing a .08 or higher. Neighbors are more concerned about blowing a fuse, because lights from the production are blowing circuits left and right.

All and all, reality sucks in parts of H-wood.

6. Wa, wa, wa . . . a bunch of "never-were" losers, desperate for attention, who can't keep it together. Go cry at an AA meeting where the folks love to drone on and on about themselves.

10. Geez people. Substance abuse is hard to overcome. At least give them some credit for TRYING!!!! Who are we to call them losers? Shifty and Mary Carey were on that Dr. Drew Celeb. Rehab and have obviously relapsed, which is very very common for users. I just wish them all luck on getting better.

Stop spreading hate.

11. Sugar Momma - No, not yet. It's still filming.
Lana Caine - This story is about the neighbors who live around the house that filming is taking place in being upset, not the people on the show. But by the content your post it's obvious that you're an ignorant tool, so maybe you never grasped the concept of gathering information. It's called reading; top to bottom, left to right. String words together to make sentences.

HOW COMPLETELY INSENSITIVE OF YOU TO POST SOMETHING LIKE THIS! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE ARTICLE, BUT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT GO TO AA IS JUST PISSY. GROW UP!

13. We need these "stars" to stay loaded. Otherwise, there would be no need for gossip columns if they were all Hannah Montanas. So give me their address and I'll send 'em all some good dope, free of charge.

14. Good Lord,let these people handle their problems. But, if they are affecting the neighbors quality of life, get them out!
