Drew’s that girl with top telly Doc?

My first glance at this picture made me wonder what was the story going on behind it, but don’t start jumping to conclusions just yet, everybody!

No, former 80’s wild child Emma Ridley does not have a drug problem, nor has she signed up to star on Dr Drew’s ‘Celebrity Rehab,’ but Emma is doing a new TV show with the USA’s famous telly Doc.

Emma has just signed up for a new show that FremantleMedia are currently putting together called ‘Child in Charge’ which sees Dr Drew Pinsky strategically place his sidekick for the series, an intelligent 13 year-old kid, in the homes of America’s most dysfunctional families. Step forward Emma Ridley!

Now let’s face it, from what we read in the papers on Ridley back in the day, she appeared to have quite a bit of an unconventional upbringing herself, thus making her a perfect candidate for Pinsky’s new series, so say the producers anyway.

Ridley, who is about to sign a big bucks deal to star in her own reality show ‘Spoiled Rotten’, told me, “It was very hard being under Dr Drew’s spotlight, and being grilled about my childhood for the whole of America to see was a bit tough. But there was something ever so therapeutic about it all too.”

I guess it’s never too late to talk it out – find out how Emma got on when the series starts late spring. Let’s just hope that Emma’s inner rebellious teenager didn’t lead the 13-year-old off the rails. That’s a whole other reality series waiting to happen!
