I'm waiting to see this from a second mainstream source before I make peace with my maker.
MC Hammer will star in a new WB Network television series, "The Surreal Life." The series puts fallen stars back into the spotlight as they share the former mansion of Country music legend Glen Campbell in San Fernando Valley, California, for ten days and nights.
The show will cram seven stars from every genre of the entertainment industry including rap, heavy metal, movies, sitcom, drama and reality television, into one household.
Emmanuel Lewis, Brande Roderick, Corey Feldman, Gabrielle Carteris, Vince Neil, and Jerri Manthey all join Hammer as they share bedrooms, bathrooms, go grocery shopping, do household chores and prepare their own meals.
"The Surreal Life was a project we jumped at as soon as we heard the concept.," WB President Jordan Levin said in a statement. "The only thing that remained was to see if the cast participated in the spirit that was intended, and they did not disappoint."
The stars have no transportation, cell phones or personal assistants and according to the WB Network, the cameras never stop rolling, capturing power struggles and personality clashes.
The group goes on a camping trip, indulge in "Naked Sushi" night, a softball game, a backyard talent show and attend Corey Feldman's Hollywood style wedding.
"Picture Emmanuel Lewis and MC Hammer sharing bunk beds," Survivor II star Jerri Manthey told TV Guide Online. "MC Hammer was on top!"

Please.
Please make it stop.
Seriously...this "reality" craze has to end soon, right? People aren't THAT desperate for entertainment that they would watch Corey Feldman go GROCERY SHOPPING!?!?!?!

Is he using the "MC" again?
Who remembers "Hammerman", the beacon of hope for Saturday morning cartoons in the early 90s?
