I’m a celebrity. Get me out of here.

There must be some pretty desperate folks over at VH1.

That is, it must be kind of sad when the glory days of the network were The Surreal Life and Celebrity Fit Club. I have no tangible proof of the fact that the whole Celebreality schtick is fading, but it seems to be safely “over.” My Fair Brady and the like have faded into embarrassing memories.

But did you know that the network has a brand new series that you probably didn’t know was going on?  Or, at least, I didn’t know it was going on and so I think that no one knew it was going on.

So, before we play the “which c-list celebrity is actually on this show” game, let’s play “what exactly is this game show.”

The game is: Celebrecadabra! (celebrities do magic), Celeb P.I. (celebrities solve fake mysteries), Celeb Commando (celebrities go to boot camp and the firing range)

Faded eighties actor: Judge Reinhold, C. Thomas Howell, Leif Garrett

Former Talk Soup host: Aisha Tyler, Hal Sparks, John Henson

Rapper: Kid from Kid ‘n’ Play, Hammer, Biz Markie

Celebrity Fit Club veteran: Kimberly Locke, Carnie Wilson, the Snapple Lady

Female comic: Lisa Lampenelli, Rita Rudner, Lisa Ann Walter

Girly singer: A Cheetah Girl, a Danity Kane member, a Pussycat Doll

Last Comic Standing: Ant, Dat Phan, Todd Glass

Music for zombies, soccer moms and zombie soccer moms

I was watching last week’s Grey’s Anatomy (it was strangely comforting to return to Seattle Grace, even though no one changed and everyone is still just as annoying as ever) the other night and I came across this Dodge Journey commercial. I didn’t care about the product — not really looking for something to schlep the kids to soccer practice in — but the song was awesome. What’s more, it sounded familiar.[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/qZ7IoHTfsUw" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]

The song is by Grandaddy and is called A.M. 180. It is delightful, with its crunchy guitars and kindergarten bloops and bleeps. You might remember it from 28 Days Later, which is probably what triggered some sort of response in the recesses of my brain.

And you can download it here!

Meanwhile, enough with Meredith and the not talking during the long-overdue therapy.
