Looks like it's going to be another season of reality TV cast members and washed-up singers on Dancing With the Stars!

Because we need a celebrity version of everything, ABC has ordered Celebrity Wife Swap, wherein celebrities from opposing walks of life will switch spouses for a week in the same chaste extended key party format as the regular people edition -- but better! Rumor has it the show is gunning for SNL alum and noted homophobe Victoria Jackson for an episode, so I think it's safe to say they're really reaching for the crazy stars here. And since I live to help the networks with these kinds of things, here are some fun swap ideas I know I for one would watch the hell out of.

It's time for The Celebrity Apprentice to try and top last year's "Whore pit viper!" moment with something even more insane. And it looks like they might -- Sharon Osbourne, Bret Michaels, Rod Blagojevich and Cyndi Lauper (among others) are all going to be forced to interact with each other. Frankly, I'd be surprised if they all come out alive. So to promote Sunday night's premiere episode, The Donald and Bret Michaels got on the horn to field press calls on a massive conference call. Highlights:

The latest entry into the world of daytime chatfests started yesterday afternoon. Just what the world needed! Actually, I'm probably more inclined to watch this show than The View, but mostly because of my undying fascination with Julie Chen. Seriously, even in seasons when Big Brother sucks, I still watch to see what she's wearing. And while I usually can't catch The Early Show, I can totally DVR The Talk and watch it while I'm fixing dinner (and by that I mean calling for take out).

Most of us expect reality TV to be a little outrageous, with either scantily clad girls making drunken fools out of themselves or some vicious cat-fighting during the course of competitions, but some contestants just don't know when to stop, like Survivor's current bad boy Russell, who lied about being a victim of Hurricane Katrina, emptied his tribe's canteens in the dead of night and tried to gain sympathy with a tale about a dead dog. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's just morally reprehensible and sometimes we're actually scared for their fellow contestants. We've collected some of the best/worst of these borderline moments (though there were so many, we could have filled the whole list with CT, Bad Girls Club or Big Brother alone) to see which really crossed the line.

Really Ridiculous Reality Shows
Reality Show A-Hole Gets On My Last Nerve (And Spawns an Excellent Idea!)You might know Megan Hauserman as the "Beauty" from Beauty and the Geek, season three. No? What about one of the forgettable blondes vying for Bret Michaels' affections on the last season of Rock of Love? Still nothing? Perhaps you saw her on the most excellent Rock of Love: Charm School, VH1's latest trash TV offering, in which my hero Sharon Osborne gets all Henry Higgins on the Rock of Love cast-offs' asses and tries to make them into ladies. If you haven't seen this show yet, you are missing the hell out, son! Earlier in the season, Sharon unceremoniously dismissed Hauserman when she caught her telling untruths and generally acting like a shady beeyatch, which was totally her M.O. on Rock of Love, too. See, Sharon's no fool and she won't tolerate any low-down dirty behavior.
