Rachel Uchitel quit Celebrity Rehab 4 after an intense day of filming, according to RadarOnline.com.

“After a very intense day of filming, Rachel just couldn’t handle being at the Pasadena Recovery Center where Celebrity Rehab is filmed, and she decided to leave,” a source told RadarOnline.

According to a source, Rachel’s exit was prompted by an intense day with Dr. Drew. Rachel was having troubles coping with the issues that were being discussed, and she split to a nearby hotel in Beverly Hills. Dr. Drew tried talking with her about self-esteem and self-worth and why she was addicted to pills. Rachel couldn’t handle it, and told Dr. Drew and producers that she was quitting the show.

Producers of Celebrity Rehab 4 located Uchitel and went to talk to her the next morning. “Producers arrived at the hotel the following morning, and calm prevailed. Rachel simply needed some time away from the intense pressure and scrutiny that she is dealing with.

“She agreed to go back to Celebrity Rehab 4. Rachel has never had to face these issues before, and talking about it pushed her over the edge, and her instinct was to run.

“Producers made her realize that if she continues to run away from her issues, she will never be able to live a healthy life,” a VH-1 insider tells us.

Rachel isn’t legally allowed to talk about Tiger Woods, but he looms large in her life. “Her issues go beyond Tiger, but he was the catalyst that pushed her over the edge,” a source tells us.

Life & Style has exclusively learned that Jessica Simpson is in negotiations to become a judge on American Idol! “She’s met with producer-creator Simon Fuller several times,” an insider confirms to Life & Style. “They like her — she’s a good fit — and she likes it. Now it’s just a question of how to fit her in.”

That’s because the Price of Beauty star isn’t necessarily being tapped to fill Simon Cowell’s shoes. “She’s not his replacement — they’re two entirely different personalities,” says the insider. “This is part of a massive overhaul of the show. There may be more judges, more opinions.” Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Chris Isaak and Harry Connick Jr. have also been mentioned as possible additions.

While her fans would love to see Jessica on Idol, so would her manager and father, Joe. “He’s been heavily involved with Idol,” a second insider tells Life & Style. “His client

Travis Garland performed on the May 19 show. Joe was there to support him, and Jess wrote one of his songs.” So will Jessica make her dad’s day by signing on? “She’d be crazy to turn it down,” says the first insider. “She’ll just say things without thinking, and that’s what they want — that’s great TV!”

Looks like Lindsay Lohan will be out of the chokey this week, and if it were up to her, she’d head straight to her family for a little down time. But according to her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, that may not be possible.

“She’s a little upset right now,” attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said after a visit with Lohan on Tuesday, PEOPLE reports. “She’d like to spend some time with her family, and there’s at least some question as to whether or not she’ll have to go directly to rehab.”

Prosecutors said Tuesday that LiLo must report to a Los Angeles rehab facility within 24 hours of her release from jail, which should be this Sunday or Monday. Chapman is worried that Lohan may have to go directly to rehab with no interim.

“I think it would only be fair for her to spend some time with her family and that’s what she’d like for me to emphasize to the judge,” Holley said.
