lizaJune 4, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The buzz that surfaced last few days was Liza Minnelli, Oscar and Grammy winning actress was going to be a part of VH1’s reality TV series, “Celebrity Rehab”. The Sex And The City 2 cameo actress Liza Minnelli has denied it. As per sources she is beginning a national tour in St. Louis on June 5, and because of that “not now nor will ever” be on Celebrity Rehab.

VH1 offered her a sum of $500,000 to be a part of the reality show and she said no to it and she will be a part of the tour instead. The actor and singer Liza Minnelli will focus on her tour and her newest album ‘Confessions’ which is supposed to be released on September 21, 2010. There are few other celebrities who have agreed to appear on the show Celebrity Rehab like Laguna Beach Star Jason Wahler and reality TV star Tila Tequila. As per sources, the channel wanted Liza Minnelli to increase its celebrity status and worthiness. It is going to be a big loss for them as she will not be there.

Dr. Drew Pinsky who is in the control of Celebrity Rehab twitted last Thursday on a popular social networking site that things related to the show are moving forward and he is not involved in the casting process of the show. The reports say that Liza Minnelli freaked out initially when she heard that she was considered in the show and then later she turned down the offer all together. The actress is well known for her films like “Charlie Bubbles”, “The Sterile Cuckoo”, “New York, New York”, “Arthur”, “Arthur 2″ and also “Carabet”.
