Nick Lachey is about to be surrounded by screaming teenage girls once again.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the former boy-band member has been tapped to host what could be the next reality-television sensation: ABC's High School Musical: Summer Session. The show, which is banking on the power of Disney's tween megahit franchise to bring in viewers, is set to debut in June.
High School Musical: Summer Session is like a high-school version of American Idol, with contestants between the ages 16 and 22 strutting their singing and dancing prowess. The winner of the show will be showered with prizes, including a free ride to a summer music program designed to hone their skills.
Lachey, who got his start as a member of the group 98 Degrees, has leveraged his boyish good looks into a career. In addition to his high-profile stint on Newlyweds with ex-wife Jessica Simpson, he has also appeared on Charmed, Clash of the Choirs, and Dancing With the Stars.
oh boy another reality show lol
Kids will watch it.
I could care less! Anything that goes resortable big now goes reality. It seems Disney is going its sisters channel ABC ways by going reality BOOO!
Another show you couldn't pay me to watch. stupid reality TV. <p><b>P.A.R.T</b> (People Against Reality Television) I am starting this movement to get people together to influence TV stations to stop making any more reality TV programs. They need to get they're heads out of the ground, and there pocket books out, and stop making generic programs and start making quality television. <b>P.A.R.T</b>(people against reality television) <p>Copy and paste this <b>(P.A.R.T.)</b> info for your descriptions and Board signatures and blogs. or write your own <b>(P.A.R.T.)</b> rants or slogans
this is absolutely crazy.
Who cares? The airwaves are flooded with enough mindless reality shows as it is.
Sounds exactly like American Idol.... But it is kind of neat that one of the prizes is music school. Even though, if you win you shouldn't have to go to music school, so this is kinda weird....
well another reason not to watch tv this summer
Who is this guy?
So do they only sing HSM songs? Hmm. Well I like Nick Lachey so no problem there.
Reality tv is nuts these days!
Another ho-hum reality tv show. Is this supposed to be the golden age of reality tv? I think not!
wow disney is really milking out all the money it can get off HSM
Terrible! Poor Nick they should have given the hosting part to his brother.
cool!
This sounds lame.
I could care less. Reality tv is idiotic.
