You Might Want to Rethink

In fact, we've learned -- it's Rachel's infatuation with Drew that led to her decision to do the reality show.

Sources tell us after Rachel initially turned down "Rehab" -- Dr. Drew wanted a personal sit-down to change her mind ... and she only agreed to the meeting because she says she has a mad crush on him.

So, now Drew has Rachel where he wants her ... and Rachel's got Drew right where she wants him.

TMZ has obtained this cast reel for the new show -- which has only shot its pilot and hasn't been picked up by a network yet. There's definitely a Situation or two, a Snooki, a Pauly D type (who is most likely a club promoter, not a DJ) and their version of Jwoww goes by Jwao (kidding).

TMZ obtained photos of Hayward in a Champps Americana Restaurant and Bar on June 12. We're told Hayward was watching USA vs. England next to an unidentified woman.

We wanted to make sure the pic was indeed Tony. So check out the CEO's watch when he appeared on CNN. It's a spitting image of the watch he's wearing in the bar.

As for what Dr. Hayward ate -- yes, he's a PhD -- the receipt shows he paid for shrimp fajitas, fish & chips and 2 cranberry juices.

The unlikely couple -- who already have matching lightning bolt ink -- arrived to Las Palmas together for a belated birthday party for Lindsay Lohan last night.

After leaving CNN, where he did an interview with Larry King, Michael hightailed it to the famous watering hole ... where he smiled with fans, posed for photos, and "relaxed."

Michael told us he was going to call his daughter from inside the bar ... probably to make her jealous.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with Lohan, who tells us he was only at Saddle Ranch for "All-You-Can-Eat Rib Night."

At $21.99 ... it's one hell of a deal.

Yes, really.

Fischer died in Iceland back in 2008 and left no will -- there has been a battle over his estate ever since. A woman came forward recently claiming she had a relationship with Fischer while he lived in the Philippines -- and that her daughter, Jinky Young, was Fischer's.

Fischer's body was dug up early Monday morning, DNA samples were taken, and he was buried again later in the day.

A source extremely familiar with the incident tells TMZ Chappelle boarded a private jet in New Jersey last night bound for Ohio -- where the actor lives.

During the flight, we're told Dave "freaked out" and refused to put his seat belt on. Then -- according to sources -- Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be, and started grabbing the pilot's arms.

Sources say the pilot determined Chappelle was a safety risk and diverted the plane to Pittsburgh.

We're told Chappelle then checked into a nearby hotel for the night. Sources at the hotel tell us Dave has been telling hotel employees he wanted to rent a car to drive back to Ohio ... only he couldn't remember where he lived.

Chappelle was spotted wandering out of the hotel early this morning.

While singing songs from his album, "Tattoos & Tequila," Neil addressed the crowd at the Palms -- and shouted "Who's been drinking tequila tonight? Who's gonna drink some tequila tonight?"

The tapes were secretly recorded by Oksana in the midst of their nuclear breakup and custody battle.

We've also confirmed Mel is heard on tape calling Oksana a "whore" and a "c**t."

The tapes have been submitted to the judge in their custody battle and are under seal. Sources say the tapes were recorded prior to May, when Mel and Oksana reached a custody agreement with a mediator.

And TMZ has learned ... Mel sent Oksana a number of incendiary emails that she kept.

TMZ broke the story in 2006 when Mel went nuts on a cop after being busted for DUI, saying, "F**king Jews ... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."

UPDATE: Mel's rep just told TMZ he could not confirm the credibility or accuracy of the tapes. TMZ, however, has confirmed that the tapes are the real deal.

As you may know, back in 2003 Jones pled no contest to paying a minor for the purpose of taking sexually explicit photos ... and was required to register annually as a sex offender.

But according to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office, Jones blew off the requirement back in September ... a big no-no with officials. In fact, it's a felony.

Last Wednesday, cops finally caught up with the actor and arrested him. He was later freed on $20,000 bail.

The super uncomfortable exchange all went down when Sen. Amy Klobuchar had the floor ... and informed Kagan that she had just watched the "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" movie ... and wanted to know if Kagan was Team Jacob or Team Edward.

It all went down in The Bahamas in March 2009 -- mere months before Vienna met Jake -- and according to sources, the guy who delivered the package was a total stranger.

Besides the genital face-plant -- Girardi also struck a pose in which she stared down the barrel of a big, brown loaf launcher ... with the same guy.
