Lawsuit: 'Tom Sizemore is a DEAD BEAT DAD'

Tom Sizemore's ex-girlfriend says the actor knocked her up with twins then left the three of 'em to fend for themselves -- because he allegedly bailed on a massive amount of child support.

According to a lawsuit filed last week in L.A. Superior Court, Sizemore owes babymama Jinele McIntire $58,800 in child support for the couple's two boys, who were born in 2005.

In the first line of the lawsuit, Jinele makes her point clear, "TOM SIZEMORE is a DEAD BEAT DAD."

Jinele says because of Tom's non-payment, she's been forced to live with a friend while the kids stay with her brother in Texas. She adds Sizemore "has made no attempt to see them there."

Jinele also claims Tom last saw the boys when he was taping "Sober House" -- a gig Jinele says paid $200,000. She also claims Tom made another $200,000 for "Celebrity Rehab."

Besides the overdue child support, McIntire is also seeking health insurance coverage for the kids and $50,000 for attorney's fees.

Fleiss Exploits Horrific Car Crash for Reality TV

TMZ has learned former Hollywood madame Heidi Fleiss survived a high-speed, window-smashing, Toyota-flipping car wreck back in June -- and then proceeded to make the whole thing part of an upcoming reality show.

Heidi Fleiss

Sources close to Fleiss tell us it all started when Heidi got into a fight with a castmate during a taping of "Celebrity Rehab" in Los Angeles. Heidi was so upset, she ditched the production and got a ride back to her home in Pahrump, NV. But during the trip home, the car swerved and hit a dirt patch, causing it to flip several times.

The Nye County Sheriff's Office -- located near Pahrump -- tells us Heidi wasn't driving when the SUV lost control ... but she was in the passenger seat and thankfully wearing a seat belt. We're told Heidi and her friend suffered some minor scrapes and bruises -- but essentially walked away with no serious injuries.

But here's the catch -- sources tell TMZ a camera crew showed up to the crash scene the very next day and shot the site for "Celebrity Rehab." In classic Hollywood form, we're told VH1 didn't want people on the show talking about the accident publicly .. hoping to keep the story arc on the down-low until it airs sometime in the near future.

A rep at VH1 had no comment.

Dr. Drew Plucks Sizemore for Rehab Show

Tom SizemoreMuch like fruit picked straight off the tree, the best "Celebrity Rehab" patients are the ones straight from jail.

TMZ has learned Tom Sizemore, who was arrested early Thursday morning on an outstanding warrant, checked into Dr. Drew's house on Friday to begin taping the third season of the show.

Making the addition of Sizemore particularly interesting is that one of his fellow castmates is Heidi Fleiss -- Sizemore's ex-girlfriend whom he was convicted of assaulting back in 2003. Awk-ward!

We're told Fleiss didn't take too kindly to Sizemore appearing on the show, and she didn't come out of her room for sometime after he showed up.

Bad for Heidi, good for ratings.

Mackenzie Phillips -- Student Becomes the Master

Mackenzie Phillips"Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" -- the show that exploits celebrities who are battling addiction -- is now exploiting a celebrity who has already battled addiction.

We've learned Mackenzie Phillips -- who entered rehab for the 10th time in September 2008 -- will appear on the third season of the show as a "sober coach." Phillips was busted for cocaine in August 2008, but had the majority of the charges against her dropped -- and the final charge will be dropped when she completes a drug diversion program. By all indications, Mackenzie has done a complete 180 and says the arrest saved her life.

The role of "sober coach" on the show was previously played by Gary Busey -- and we know how that turned out.

And we know the other new cast of characters. Let's just say Mackenzie has her work cut out for her.

Dr. Drew Gets Screwed in 'Celebrity Pornhab'

Dr. Drew Pinsky's former patient -- a term we use very loosely -- Mary Carey is striking back at him the best way she knows how -- by releasing a new porno that mocks the doc and his "Celebrity Rehab" reality show.



The porno is aptly titled "Celebrity Pornhab with Dr. Screw," and in our behind-the-scenes footage, you'll see there's not much difference between the satirical XXX flick and the actual TV show -- except for the gratuitous sex, of course.

By the way, this is Carey's comeback to adult films. Dr. Drew frequently urged her to retire from skin flicks as part of her rehab. Guess she's skipping that step.

UPDATE: The real Dr. Drew just twittered about "Pornhab," saying, "For those of you wondering about my feelings about Mary Ellen Cook's [Mary Carey's] choice to mock : Res ipsa loquitur. Makes me very sad."

Celebrity Sex Addicts Get a Helping Hand

Since the first two editions of "Celebrity Rehab" on VH1 have been such rousing successes (*cough cough), the net figured they'd spice it up for the latest version -- with sex addicts. Cue the '70s porn music!

Launch Photos

The list of scheduled rehabbers includes two porn stars (shocker), a former beauty queen, a Playmate, a gay film director and a woman who has already done the regular version of "Celeb Rehab." And don't worry -- the good Dr. Drew will be there to preside over it all.

The show just began shooting this week. Look for it to come to a small screen soon.
