Dee Snider, Marcia Brady, Bobby Brown have "Gone Country"
Country music doesn't need reality TV to grease its slippery slide into hell, but it looks like it's going to get some anyway. CMT recently announced plans for a show called Gone Country, which will feature former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick, musical hothead Bobby Brown, Brian Wilson spawn/size-acceptance defector Carnie Wilson, Sisqo (the guy responsible for the "Thong Song"), American Idol contestant Diana DeGarmo, and Spanish pop-rocker Julio Iglesias Jr.
What do these people have to do with country music, you may ask? Absolutely nothing. That is, of course, until they all move into a Nashville mansion together, get paired off with hit Music City songwriters, and compete in a series of challenges that will "test them musically and physically to adapt to a country music lifestyle, both on and off the stage." The winner of the six-episode show, as selected by host John Rich of country stars Big and Rich, will go on to record and release a bitchin' country jam and have "a chance at a country music career." And to think, my mother wouldn't let me watch Gilligan's Island because she thought it would make me stupid.
