Can Dr. Drew save DMX from six months in the slammer? That’s the rumor going around, and if it’s even half true, it’s the most ridiculous rehab story we’ve heard.

Okay, second most ridiculous. Evander Holyfield seeking out Dr. Phil after allegedly beating his wife, then getting indignant and storming out? That’s gotta be first.

In any event, DMX was just sentenced to six months in jail for violating his probation. His first arrest of 2010 took place last week after he was busted with drugs.

Seeing as DMX comprises approximately half our celebrity mug shot gallery, he was on probation at the time, and thus violated it, leading to his return to prison.

But rehab could save him yet.

Dr. Drew: DMX’s trusted savior and confidant?

DMX admitted to five probation violations at his hearing last week, claiming they were the result of using illegal drugs. Here’s where the Celebrity Rehab doc comes in.

During the hearing, a rep from the Pasadena Recovery Center gave the judge a letter from Dr. Drew Pinsky, asking permission to treat X at his facility … in lieu of jail.

X himself reached out to Dr. Drew upon his arrest. Looks like it worked.

The judge seemed open to the idea, although no decision has been made yet. We can only hope it happens, and that cameras film all of the odd couple’s interactions.

DMX‘s upcoming “gospel rap extravaganza” at an Arizona high school was just canceled three days before it was set to go off … and it’s all because the school just realized the arrest plagued rapper was involved.

TMZ spoke to the pastor of the church the concert was supposed to benefit — Morning Star Sanctified Church — and she told us the school pulled the plug on the event once word got out that X was involved.

Pastor King says she even took out a $1 million insurance policy on the concert — but the school just wasn’t having it and has already agreed to give back the church’s $500 deposit.

The church will now have to give refunds to the people who already bought tickets and Pastor King says they’re going to reschedule the event to go down at the church … which is a much smaller venue.

Either way … poor DMX can’t even catch a break when he’s trying to do some good for a change.

DMX is putting on a “gospel rap extravaganza” at his church next weekend … provided he doesn’t get arrested in the next four days.

TMZ has learned the oft-incarcerated rapper, real name Earl Simmons, agreed to perform at the Morning Star Sanctified Church for a fundraiser this Saturday — and he’s doing it for free.

According to Pastor Barbara King, DMX and his family have been members of the congregation for eight months now and he really wanted to help raise money for repairs.

We’re told the school holding the event is amping up security because they’re unsure of what kind of crowd the convicted felon will draw. Tickets are going from $35-$40 a pop.

FYI — We’re also told DMX doesn’t swear anymore … so we have absolutely no idea what he’s going to perform.
