Rachel Uchitel wants to be more than a celebrity mistress. She’s dying to be a star on reality TV.
Rachel’s latest efforts to achieve that goal include the following:
• a spot on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew
• a failed attempt to be on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump
• a dubious connection to Lindsey Lohan’s father Michael’s Celebrity House NY reality show
• an attempt to qualify for spot on Dancing with the Stars
• a reality dating show of her own called “Romancing Rachel”
• a gig as a correspondent on Extra TV
Not content to be known as the celebrity mistress of David Boreanaz and Tiger Woods, Rachel Uchitel wants to extend her 15 minutes of fame. See What Celebrity Mistresses are Doing to Extend Their 15 Minutes of Fame. She’s leaving no stone unturned in her quest for stardom via reality TV.
Details of Rachel’s efforts to become a reality TV star appear below
Rachel Uchitel on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew
The latest word is that Rachel Uchitel will be on Celebrity Rehab with Dr Drew this fall.
Despite early rumors that Rachel was addicted to alcohol and prescription drugs, sources close to the show say that Dr. Drew will be treating Rachel for emotional / intimacy issues relating to love and sex.
Sources claim that Rachel Uchitel is being paid $500,000 to appear on Celebrity Rehab. But TMZ reports that the deciding factor was Rachel’s infatuation with Dr. Drew, who paid her a personal visit to discuss the show. Rachel has what she calls a “mad crush” on (the very married) Dr. Drew.
Rachel Uchitel Prematurely Fired from Celebrity Apprentice
"Rachel Uchitel very much wanted to be on Celebrity Apprentice.," said. a rep for Donald Trump. "She asked us, we did not ask her,"
And they were seriously considering Rachel until she signed on with Celebrity Rehab.
When TMZ informed Donald Trump of Rachel’s decision, they reported that Trump had this to say:. “"It's a terrible decision. We have zero interest in her now. She made a bad mistake. 'Celebrity Apprentice' is a huge show and 'Celebrity Rehab' is not. I have 10 people who want to be on the show for every slot that's available. I'm moving on."
Looks like Rachel blew her big chance.
To add insult to injury, Donald Trump told US Magazine, "She called; she wanted to be on the show ... but we just don't see her as a celebrity in any sense," See Donald Trump’s Insults Will Not Deter Rachel Uchitel from Reaching Her Goal
Rumors of a Reality TV show with Michael Lohan
Earlier this month there were Rachel Uchitel was rumored to be working with Michael Lohan (Lindsey Lohan’s dad) on a celebrity reality show called “Celebrity House NY.”
Lohan’s now ex-fiance, Kate Major issued a statement saying, “Rachel is going to be helping us out with our TV show that we’re working on for the month of August. It’s going to be a live interactive show set at our house in New York”
Us magazine recently reported that Lohan and Major fought over Lohan's plans to appear in a show involving Tiger Woods' exes Rachel Uchitel and Joslyn James. See What REALLY caused the feud between Rachel Uchitel and Joslyn James?
After denials from Michael Lohan and Rachel Uchitel concerning the show, X17 Online reports Michael Lohan as saying, She won't be a permanent part of Celebrity House NY, but yes, Rachel will be staying in the house for a week or so. She's going to be busy with Celebrity Rehab now, but she will make time to appear on our show, too. Everyone has to realize, I'm the one who helped her book Celebrity Rehab in the first place."
Rachel Uchitel in Training for Dancing with the Stars
In April of this year it was widely reported that Rachel Uchitel was training with Tony Delgado of
Delgado Studios in Las Vegas so she could qualify for a possible spot on Dancing with the Stars this fall.
We can only assume that Rachel didn’t make it, since there’s been no further word.
Rachel’s Own Reality TV Show
Prior to that, TMZ and a number of other sources reported that Rachel Uchitel was pitching a reality show of her own called "Romancing Rachel."
With 2 producers and an agent in tow, Rachel is said to have approached 4 different cable networks - E!, VH1, Oxygen and Lifetime - pitching her dating reality show which would follow and record Rachel’s quest for true love.
Rachel says that she now has a hard time meeting guys since her Tiger Woods affair.
So far, no one but Rachel has expressed an interest in Rachel’s Uchitel’s dating reality show.
Rachel as a Correspondent on Extra TV
Capitalizing on her 15 minutes of fame resulting from her Tiger Woods affair, Rachel landed a position as a “special correspondent” for ExtraTV in February of this year. See Rachel Uchitel and Joslyn James Accuse Each Other of Capitalizing on their Tiger Woods Affair
As a former night club hostess, Rachel was hired to report on nightlife “hot spots.” Her interview with Extra TV’s Mario Lopez impressed the producers so much that they offered Rachel the gig.
Apparently this taste of being in from of the camera, is what apparently started Rachel on her quest for stardom on reality TV.
An insider reported, “She’s so excited about it! She was thrilled when they asked her to do it. She would love to get more TV gigs and do this sort of thing. She has a great TV presence and would love to land her own talk show in the future — a la Tyra Banks.”
Will Rachel Reach Her Goal to Become a Star on Reality TV?
Are you starting to see a pattern here?
Rachel Uchitel seems determined to reach her goal of becoming a reality TV star.
After all, there’s not much work available for a night club hostess who sleeps with the clientele , blabs to the media about her affairs, releases incriminating text messages (David Boreanaz) or blackmails them into giving her $10 million to keep her mouth shut. (Tiger Woods)
Rachel will probably hang in there until she reaches her goal to become a reality TV star, just like she reached her goal to pose for Playboy magazine. See Playboy Magazine Helps Rachel Uchitel's Wish Come True
It’s obvious that Rachel Uchitel will never be content with a mere 15 minutes of fame.

I´d like she,Rachel,could be a star.We need people who were stars because this is an importan profession.I whish Tiger Woods were an actor.
This Uglytel woman is an immoral, shameless, money hungry w-h-o-r-e that has been trying desperately to trap a rich$$$$ man and has failed badly. Uglitel has not realized that her lovers use her for nothing more than dirty, kinky, anything goes sex since that seems the only thing she is good for. In revenge she have threaten her lovers and demanded money for her silence. All Uglitel has now is a w-h-o-r-e reputation, spite, rage and a very used ugly silicone enhanced plastic body that looks more like a man on steroids. She is trying to cash on it before she gets too old, since she is already pushing forty. Truly, truly, pathetic!!!
