Celebrity Circus

NBC is going forward with plans to film and present "Celebrity Circus" some time this fall. As much as I love circus, this is not something I'm looking forward to.

As with most "with the stars" type reality productions, turning has-been and c-list "stars" into something they are not is nothing new, and not particularly noteworthy nor entertaining. Anyone can sort of learn to do circus tricks. Even I could. But to do them well, and with style, and with all of the sparkle and spangle that is Circus, is beyond what any celebrity/celebutante can accomplish in a mere few weeks of "rehearsals" and practice.

Color me unimpressed. I believe ABC had the same idea a few months back, but their project has been canned.
