Celebs who refuse to simply disappear and die

Just when you thought it was safe to turn your TV back on …

Game Show Convention Center reports the upcoming return of Kato Kaelin, among others we thought were safely gone, to the small screen. He’s going to get screamed at while he does pushups in the sand, and, if he survives that, he gets to play Russian Roulette.

Celebrity Boot Camp Will Include Coolio…Who Else?
Coolio may actually set an unofficial record. The rapper has signed to play on Fox’s Celebrity Boot Camp Sept. 30.
The one-night, two-hour special includes the usual cast of suspects who are making the rounds of TV game shows and game operas in the contemporary climate.
Including Coolio’s forthcoming appearance on Pyramid, the performer will been a player on seven different game shows in a year. A check of past rosters indicates Betty White’s all-time high in a single year was six different games (though she made several repeat appearances). Pat Carroll and June Lockhart each did five in a year.
Among the others scheduled to be screamed at by drill sergeants: Tiffany, Kato Kaelin, David Faustino, former Milli Vanilli member Fabrice Morvan, Traci Bingham, singer Vitamin C, Lorenzo Lamas, Barry (Greg Brady) Williams and former Price Is Right model Nikki Ziering.
The show was taped at Camp Pendleton. In a variation on the earlier Fox series, the DIs will arbitrarily eliminated the field to four and then to two. The pair in the finals will run the eight-event Gauntlet. The winner is determined by a combination of “recruit” votes and their wins in the Gauntlet. The winnings go to charity.

Burger King Becomes Whopper for Russian Roulette Marathon
Burger King has signed on as the title sponsor for “Great Falls,” the six-hour Russian Roulette marathon on Game Show Network Sept. 7.
The Saturday night feature (a three-hour series of five episodes repeated immediately in the following three hours) launches at 9 p.m. (EDT).
The Mark L. Walberg-hosted game will feature a first-run edition with celebrity players Leif Garrett, Gary Coleman, Kato Kaelin and Survivor babe Jerri Manthey.

Remember, if you have a pickup softball game a the park, chances are even that Coolio will show up and want to play. I think it’s the wrath of Al that’s causing all this.

Regis Philman.

The bastard who brought reality tv into… well a reality.

Seeing the OP, Kato popped instantly to mind, especially since he has filmed the pilot to “Houseguest,” the reality show that sounds like parody but isn’t.

Mr. T appears on a “Wisconsin Title Loan” ad, IIRC, where you put up your car’s pink slip for some cash and an extremely high interest rate.

Dr. Joyce Brothers. The longest 15 minutes of fame in history.

Terri Hatcher in those horrific Radio Shack commercials. I want to smack her every time one of those is on.
