Snap Judgment: 'Celebrity Duets
Entertainment Weekly
It's never too early to start handicapping this fall's most squirm-worthy,
Darwinian reality competitions. Let's start with
Celebrity Duets,
which debuts Aug. 29 on Fox. The network announced today that the
golden-throated competitors are WWE wrestler Chris Jericho, Lucy Lawless,
Cheech Marin, Olympic gymnast Carly Patterson, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
alum Alfonso Ribeiro, Queer Eye's Jai Rodriguez, Queer as Folk's
Hal Sparks, and Lea Thompson. (They'll be paired each week with pros who
should know better, including Clint Black, Michael Bolton, Belinda Carlisle,
Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, Brian McKnight, Aaron Neville,
Smokey Robinson, Randy Travis, and Dionne Warwick.) Now, Lawless, Rodriguez,
and Thompson have all sung on Broadway, and Marin proved he can sing (sort
of) on old Cheech & Chong bits like ''Earache My Eye.'' My money's on Xena,
if only because of Lawless' excellent impersonation of Stevie Nicks in
this classic SNL sketch. |
