Rockstar/Reality Curling
Sex, Drugs,..., and Curling
From CBC Sports (albeit last month):
Sex, drugs, guitars — and curling?
And the real kicker,The Toronto Star reported Monday that NBC has acquired exclusive rights to launch 10 episodes of a proposed television show called Rockstar Curling.
Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi, apparently closet curlers, are among the megastar rockers being courted to host it.
Citing unnamed sources, the Star said the two rock stars are among a group of entertainment types who rent arena time on occasion to pick up brooms instead of guitars.
Organizers are trying to negotiate a deal to get one of them involved in the proposed show, possibly as a host.
The series' winners could wind up with a berth at the U.S. championships and perhaps at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
Curling was a surprise hit for NBC during the last two Winter Olympics, once getting better ratings than an NHL playoff game at the same time the following day.
