No bull: CMT taps Garrett, Baldwin, Ice
Rapper-musician Vanilla Ice (aka Rob Van Winkle), actor Stephen Baldwin and actor-musician Leif Garrett are among the celebrities set to take part in CMT's upcoming series Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge, set to debut at 9 p.m. Aug. 10.
The six-part unscripted show -- in the vein of sister network VH1's The Surreal Life, albeit with a much different setting -- features rodeo athlete Ty Murray, a seven-time All-Around World Champion, trying to teach nine celebrities the dangerous sport of bull riding.
Other celebrities taking part will be former NFL player Rocket (Raghib Ismail,) Moto-X rider Kenny Bartrum, actor "Nitro" Dan Clark (American Gladiator), reality star Jonny (Dalton) Fairplay (Survivor), UFC fighter Josh Haynes and actor Francesco Quinn.

"Ty Murray is the brightest star there is in bull riding, a true world champion, but he's got his work cut out for him training a cast of celebrities who are certainly brave -- but way out of their element."...
