Now Michael is telling RadarOnline.com why he he's doing Dr. Drew Pinsky's VH1 reality show.

"I am at Celebrity Rehab and participating in the show to deal with the issues of codependency, to stop getting involved with and living through people who have addictions, who exhibit negative behavior and to avoid living vicariously thru them," Lohan wrote. "I am looking to give my life the balance."
