Get it to your local Toyota dealer. It's a known problem about the oil control rings on the pistons to which Toyota have extended the warranty for (7 years 120,000 miles I think). They have to start an oil consumption monitoring process for Toyota to authorise it and if everything works out OK you'll get a new short motor, and possibly cat, fitted at no cost to you.
If there's gaps in you service history however (doesn't need Toyota servicing) they won't touch it.

Usually, the burning of oil in a combustion motor comes from the failure of piston rings. You have two real options:
Buy a crate (rebuilt) motor from your local parts store, or rebuild the one you have. You can do it at a shop, or you can do it in your yard. Rebuilding an engine is easy as long as you pay attention to what you're taking off. Buy a Haynes manual for your specific model of Celica.

Bad rings. Mine does too but that's okay. I put a quart of 50 weight Castrol in every month, and that's okay. The oil is always fresh.
How many miles? mine has almost 300K.

Yeah it's Knackered scrap it. It could be a lot of different things like broken piston rings to valve stem seals
