Joey Fatone Joins TV Guide's Red-carpet Team

Joey Fatone is getting in sync with the TV Guide Network. The Singing Bee host will join fellow Dancing with the Stars alum Lisa Rinna on the red carpet for the upcoming awards season. Though the two are replacing Joan and Melissa Rivers, whose contract ended this year, viewers shouldn't expect them to be anything like the mother-daughter duo. "You can't fill anybody's shoes," says Rinna. "Joan Rivers is a genius. They made the pathway; we're the next generation."

While Rinna brings her fashion expertise to the job, Fatone takes an Average Joe approach to his hosting duties. "You want to see real people and you want to see their personalities," says Fatone. "I think that's what America likes."

Viewers will get their first chance to see the pair in action Sept. 16 when they hit the red carpet for the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. — Reporting by Carita Rizzo

Would NOT have watched with Lisa Rinna (could not stand her since DWTS-she has a Joe E. Brown mouth-not attractive on a woman) but probably will with Joey Fatonne-what a personality.
