It's been a year for DMX. He recently was arrested for the sixth time since May, and he is clearly addicted to one or more illegal substances. He needs help, and he and the people around him have put their heads together and come up with a brilliant solution to his legal and addiction problems. The celebrity salve of the 21st century: reality television! That's right, hip hop's current trainwreck will be starring in a reality show — his second — called DMX: This Life of Mine.

The show will follow DMX’s attempt to resolve a string of legal problems, which include six arrests since May of 2008, the most recent one occurring last week in Miami, Florida.

This Life of Mine will also feature DMX attempting to rehabilitate to himself, as he simultaneously attempts to avoid being sent to prison for pending charges of possessing drug paraphernalia, possessing marijuana, animal cruelty charges and theft, for allegedly giving a fake name when he was treated at a Scottsdale hospital earlier this year.

Now, if Amy Winehouse would just follow in DMX's footsteps and let television cameras to trail her all day, we'd be on the road to a drug- and crime-free music industry. [AHH]
