Brooke Breaks Big, Jose Gets Girly, and Rickshaws Rule-All on VH1's All New Celeb-reality Line Up This Sunday Night

NEW YORK, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Welcome to your weekly guide to new episodes of "The Surreal Life," "Hogan Knows Best," and "Celebrity Fit Club."

"The Surreal Life" - The worlds of seven pop culture originals collide as they learn to live too close for comfort in a plush Hollywood mansion.

Episode #503: "Take It Off" Sunday 07/24 @ 9 P.M.*

The Surreal Lifers learn that today they're putting on a burlesque show at a Hollywood Night-club! Jose jumps right in and even takes time to alter his costume to meet his specifications for his big show-stopping number. A heroic Pepa has to take Janice aside to convince her to go through with the burlesque number. Then it's showtime! Bronson steps out onstage and improvs some appropriately off-color jokes, then intros the first act: "America The Booty-ful." The crowd cheers and applauds -- perhaps out of shock and terror -- at the sight of a hulking Jose Canseco dressed as an ersatz George Washington.

"Hogan Knows Best" -- VH1 introduces America's new first family in this new series. Each half-hour episode of the series opens the doors to the Hogan family home and provides a new definition of the 'traditional' family.

Episode #103: "Brooke's Big Break Sunday 07/27 @ 9:30 P.M.

Brooke is growing frustrated with her career -- a year after recording a video with Lou Pearlman, things are going nowhere. So she auditions for Sixx, a producer in the Destiny Child camp, but Hulk is dismayed to learn Sixx wants to sex up Brooke's image and cut her hair. No way, Jose. Finally, Hulk decides to attend the Grammys in the hopes of making some new connections. He meets Larry Rudolph, the man behind Britney Spears meteoric rise to fame. Larry's excited, and he brings the family west to record a few demos.

"Celebrity Fit Club" -- Eight overweight stars are divided into two teams and challenged to get fit and lose weight over a 14-week period. Hosted by Ant.

Episode #203: Sunday 07/24 @ 10:00 P.M.*

Gary Busey's team (Willie Aames, Victoria Jackson and Wendy "The Snapple Lady" Kaufman) competes against Jackee Harry's team (Toccara Jones, Jani Lane and Phil Margera) in a rickshaw race on Hollywood Boulevard. But Team Jackee is at a disadvantage when they are short by one, and no one knows what happened to their missing teammate. Back in the weigh-in ceremony, the mystery continues with Team Jackee, but the mystery of Victoria's current weight issues is solved when we learn about her childhood years as a gymnast.
