Jeers to The Celebrity Apprentice and Celebrity Rehab for sticking too closely to the same casting formula. Think about it: Both shows have featured a Baldwin brother (Stephen and Daniel), a Taxi vet (Marilu Henner and Jeff Conaway), a rocker (KISS' Gene Simmons and Crazy Town's Seth "Shifty" Binzer), an Ultimate Fighter (Tito Ortiz and Ricco Rodriguez), an adult-entertainment icon (ex-Playmate of the Year Tiffany Fallon and porn star Mary Carey), a "Family" member (The Sopranos' Vincent Pastore and Family Matters' Jaimee Foxworth) and a one-named Surreal Life alum (Omarosa and Chyna). And oh yeah, Brigitte Nielsen was a Surreal Lifer, too! Maybe all these "celebrities" should do a show called "Reality Rehab."
