'Surreal' on steroids

VH1's "The Surreal Life" is taking a swing at ratings gold by hiring admitted steroid abuser Jose Canseco to star in its next installment, Associated Press reports.

The show's fifth season, debuting in September, will feature the former Oakland Athletics star along with six other celebrity has-beens looking for a career boost.

The show tapes a group of C-listers 24/7 as they live and play together in a Hollywood Hills mansion.

The new cast includes "America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickinson, Sandi "Pepa" Denton of the female rap group Salt-n-Pepa, Bronson Pinchot from ABC's "Perfect Strangers," District resident and former "The Apprentice" hopeful Oma-rosa Manigault-Stallworth, British model Caprice and motorcrosser Carey Hart.

The first two "Surreal Life" seasons debuted on the WB before the show moved to VH1. Past cast members include rapper Flavor Flav, entertainer Charo, televang-elist Tammy-Faye Bakker Messner, porn star Ron Jeremy, rapper Vanilla Ice and actor Corey Feldman.

This season's cast of characters features former "Brady" Christopher Knight; rap star Da Brat; and Verne Troyer, who starred as Mini Me in the last two "Austin Powers" features.

Hoops boost CBS

Despite more than 24 million viewers, those "Desperate Housewives" couldn't help ABC beat the NCAA surge in last week's ratings.

CBS' broadcast of the men's basketball tournament garnered the highest number of viewers for the sports competition since 1994 and helped the network to yet another ratings victory, Associated Press reports.
