A judge has denied rapper DMX’s request to leave the state so he can be a part of Dr. Drew Pinsky’s “Celebrity Rehab”- TMZ

DMX is currently in jail in Arizona for violating his probation but Dr. Drew offered to treat DMX at his rehab clinic in California and in doing so be taped for his VH1 show “Celebrity Rehab.” A judge from the Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona rejected the because according to reports, DMX is already doing well in his current Arizona appointed substance abuse program. The judge did state that DMX can be part of the TV show in July but by then the taping for the show will already have finished.

This is bad news for VH1 who definitely would have enjoyed a big ratings boost with DMX on board. On the other hand this is probably better news for DMX in that he is finally getting the real help he needs to get his life back on track. Via: TMZ
