Dr. Drew Pinsky not addiced to fame!

Dr. Drew Pinsky insists he isn’t addicted to fame!

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Drew whose empire includes his new HLN talk show to a radio call-in showLoveline, the VH1 reality hit Celebrity Rehab and new daytime programmer Life changers says being in the public eye is part of his job.

“I could take it or leave it,” Pinsky said of fame.

“I was very resistant to being on television… I never wanted it to interfere with my day job.

“Then…I realized that I’ve had these amazing opportunities and that maybe I should use TV to change the culture, so I spent the next 10 years shrinking my medical practice and developing partnerships where I could flexibly move around.

“And I’ve spent the past two to three years really focusing on TV and radio. That’s the next stage of my career, if it involves a public life or fame, so be it. I don’t know any other way of doing it, frankly.

“I’m not addicted to it, it’s just my job now.”
