Reality D-Listed celebs Tila Tequila and Jason Wahler were the sole takers for Dr. Drew Pinsky's ongoing reality show, "Celebrity Rehab."

TMZ is reporting that those two names were not enough juice to greenlight a season of lockdown therapy on the self indulgent famous.

Producers of "Celebrity Rehab" can't fill the roster for the new season, which was supposed to start shooting today, reports TMZ.

The lack of an anchor "headliner" and disinterest in the series by celebrities who do have the addiction issues is the crux of the problem.

TMZ claims producers offered Lindsay Lohan $1 million and her own show, but Lohan declined.
