Looks like there's only room for one reality show about TV celebrities walking a tightrope and juggling bowling pins.
ABC has actually changed its mind and will not produce a remake of Circus of the Stars. They decided that because NBC was already doing a celebs-under-the-big-top show (called Celebrity Circus), they didn't want to do one too. Instead, to fill the time slot, the network plans to do another celebrity reality series that features Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Britney Spears competing to see who can be the first to get impregnated by Dustin Diamond.
(OK, I just made that up.)
This is really sad news for TV fans. I was really looking forward to seeing Elisabeth Hasselbeck swallowing swords and Jorge Garcia swinging on a trapeze and Charles Gibson dressed as a clown, squirting water on the audience. And I think denying viewers the pleasure of seeing William Shatner trying to tame a wild tiger is really a shame.

Well although I do like the format of celebrities in the circus, I'm glad ABC has decided to attempt something different, it would have looked bad if they just ripped off NBC's show, which is shaping up to be pretty good. Christopher Knight is lighting himself on fire this week, anyone else going to watch?
