I don't know if anyone watches the show, but the cast Omarosa and Janice Dickinson in the next season.  And Balki from Perfect Strangers!

Surreal Life" Taps into Evil

In what sounds like the makings of a real-life celebrity (make that pseudo-celebrity) deathmatch, VH1 has corraled two of reality television's most notorious villains to move in together and have their lives taped for the fifth season of The Surreal Life.

Apprentice reject Omarosa and America's Next Top Model judge Janice Dickinson are two of the latest struggling sort-of stars to sign on for the Real World-ish reality series, which tosses together semi-famous types in an unlikely living situation and keeps the camera rolling to capture the ensuing drama.

Both women are veterans of the reality genre. Dickinson, who bills herself as the "world's first supermodel," is currently in the process of shattering the dreams of the latest crew of model wannabes on the fourth season of Next Top Model.

Omarosa, who signs herself "Lady O" in missives on her official Website, appeared in both the first season of The Apprentice and a recent episode of Fear Factor.

We're predicting that the dueling drama queens will get the fur flying early on in the season.

Meanwhile, other castmates sharing living space with Omarosa and Dickinson include former slugger José Canseco, who's been in the headlines recently for his controversial memoir, Juiced, about steroid use in Major League Baseball.

Adding to the show's jock factor is motocross madman Carey Hart, known to extreme sports fans for his death-defying stunts.

Sandi Denton, aka Pepa of Grammy-winning hip-hop group Salt-n-Pepa, will be the show's token musical type, while British model Caprice will provide eye-candy.

Finally, rounding out the group is Bronson Pinchot, best known as the lovable Balki Bartokomous from '80s sitcom Perfect Strangers.

The show is set to premiere on VH1 on Sept. 4. Past Surreal Life participants have included Charo, Verne Troyer, Erik Estrada and Corey Feldman.

Omarosa and the gang aren't the only low level celebs gunning for exposure via the reality route on VH1--the network is also at work developing new series spotlighting the lives of Hulk Hogan and Danny Bonaduce.

According to the network, Hogan Knows Best will take viewers inside the former wrestler's family life in suburban Florida, where he is raising two teenagers with his wife, Linda.

Being Bonaduce will focus on the relationship between the Partridge Family alum and his wife, Gretchen, who met and married seven hours into their first date and have been together for 15 years.

A third new series, Strip Search, is designed as a talent contest of sorts--one that scours the country for hunky male dancers who are willing to leave their pedestrian lives behind for a scantily-clad shot at fame on the Vegas strip.

All three new series are scheduled to debut this summer.
