Yee-Haw!: Bobby Brown Takes on Nashville

Singer and Boston native Bobby Brown, who never met a reality show he didn't like, is going to star on Country Music Television's "Gone Country," in which he joins fellow semi-celebs in the pursuit of country music stardom.

Given Brown's gift for generating shocking television, the country-music element isn't the big news. What's important is that Brown will be training for Grand Old Opry greatness alongside Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, Sisqo, Carnie Wilson, Diana DeGarmo, Julio "Not Enrique" Iglesias Jr., and Maureen McCormick, aka Marcia from the "Brady Bunch." What do you want to bet that Brown and Snider throw punches in the very first episode?

We'd like to suggest songs he should start work on right this minute: "O Massachusetts, Won't You Let Me In?" "Hard Livin' Done Broke My Heart," or "I'd Sure Like to Get Me a Piece of Marcia Brady."
