You lookin' at my pint?
Celebrity spoof show set for US

Channel 4 comedy Star Stories, which lampoons the lives of celebrities, is being redeveloped for US television.
A pilot of the show is being made by cable channel VH1, which is set to follow the UK programme's format.
A new set of actors is currently being cast for the show, while its name is also likely to be changed.

This is good. You will like it. However, before American television bosses destroy it by sanitising the life out of it i thought you might like a look at the original.

This one is on legendary hollywood midget, Tom Cruise.

Great Stuff, just watched about 1/3 of the first one and found the first part that the bible thumpers would sanitize. Of course the scientolinuts would try and ban the whole first clip.

will catch em all later.
 
Yeah, if they don't wreck it like "The Office" this will be a hoot.

I wish they'd just show us the ones y'all already worked up rather than retooling it for the US.

I really don't know why they do that. Obviously there are some things where the accents are a distinct stumbling block but that's the minority.

I can't imagine the BBC or anyone else trying to adapt Seinfeld for British audiences.

Do watch it darla, I watched about 1/3 of the first one it was great, will watch after work. Even though I have an unlimited firewall access, I want to stay out of trouble.
 
I should have said at the beginning it isn't entirely "work-safe".

Don't want to get anyone fired.

Great stuff I wonder which channel it will be on?

I wish the comedy channel would do it then it would work.
 
I'll watch it at home as well.

I'm delighted that BBC America has started to show Graham Norton again; I really missed him after the "So Graham Norton" season finished. The new show is a bit tamer, but still wonderfully risque at times. :p
