As we heard news that the Indonesian toddler who smoked 40 cigarettes a day has finally kicked the habit, we couldn't help but think of Dr. Drew.

Why? Well, it would seem that two-year-old Ardi Rizal is free of his nicotine addiction after having successfully completed a 30-day rehabilitation program.

"He has stopped smoking and doesn't ask for cigarettes anymore," a representative of Indonesia's National Commission on Child Protection told the Earth Times.

We've seen Dr. Drew counsel D-list celebs through drug, alcohol and sex addiction over the years on a show that not only contains little entertainment value but makes you wonder a) why bother for the hopelessly narcissistic in some cases, and b) is TV really the place to confront those demons for others.

Why not give us something worth watching instead of spoiled, self-indulgent "celebs" who don't really seem like they want help but rather some exposure to reboot their dreary careers.

Heck, kids would probably behave better.

The foundation in Katherine Heigl’s house is unbelievably shoddy. Half of the house is sinking into the ground, and all she cares about is “Oh, boy, baby on the loose! Don’t run so fast, baby!” Good thing she has that alcoholic roommate to offset her lumbering incompetence.

A few obvious questions. First, did Josh Duhamel somehow take off his pants with his running shoes still on, or did he put on his underwear, and then put his shoes on? For what purpose? Is he planning on going outside like that? And isn’t this like the 12th movie with Katherine Heigl trying to deal with an unexpected baby? Oh, but here’s the twist:

“Two single adults (Heigl and Duhamel) become caregivers to an orphaned girl when their mutual best friends die in a car accident.”

Laughing out loud! There must be endless permutations on the “I don’t want a baby, but now I have a baby!” plot formula, and they keep getting creepier. Coming soon:

Baby Oops! - Katherine Heigl stars as an uptight career woman on the path to a promotion. Until, suddenly, a plane crashes overhead and a newly orphaned baby lands on her face.

Y’all Got a Baby - Katherine Heigl stars as an uptight reporter who is forced to care for an infant farm girl after her parents are mangled by a runaway combine harvester.

The War of the Babies - Katherine Heigl stars as an uptight nurse on layover in a Middle Eastern war zone. She is suddenly forced to care for a baby when the baby’s family is completely eradicated by genocidal government forces.

Linkin Park's latest music video, for 'The Catalyst', was recently released - and it is epic!

I've always been a huge fan of Linkin Park's videos. You never know what to expect, album to album, as they continue to change direction with new sounds. They're definitely a much different band than they were on their debut album Hybrid Theory and this video sets the tone for their latest installment. It's got everything one could ask for in a video: smoke, slow motion, gas masks, bad-ass hoodies, coloured sand getting thrown around, and lead singer Chester Bennington belting lead vocals while being submerged into water. Wicked.

With their new album A Thousand Suns set to release September 14 and a live performance of "The Catalyst" schedule during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday Sept 12, the video is just enough to tide fans over for the next couple weeks.

Another sign that the apocalypse is upon us? If it isn't enough that there will be a season 11 for Dancing With the Stars, today they just announced the "star"-studded cast and well, it's something. In fact, they might just have a situation on their hands. Yes, that Situation -- Mike Sorrentino of Jersey Shore fame.

And if you need more proof, Bristol Palin - teen mom and daughter of former U.S. vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin - is also part of the cast. Perhaps she can wiggle off some of the baby weight she should have dropped by now. Is she an upgrade from last year's infamom Kate? Maybe.

Because the horrors don't end, we'll also get to see David Hasselhoff, plus filling the rest of the where-are-they-now quotient: Brandy, potential ringer Jennifer Grey (of Dirty Dancing fame), Michael Bolton and comedian Margaret Cho. Also in the cast is Disney rapper/actor Kyle Orlando Massey (who?) and this year's grande dame is, no not Betty White, but Florence Henderson.

If you're unlucky and might, at some point, be forced to watch, we'll let you know that former NBA player Rick Fox and NFL QB Kurt Warner are among the contestants.

And keep your fingers crossed that her centre of gravity hasn't been irreversibly thrown off by her implants, because The Hills' Audrina Patridge could provide some mild amusement.
