VH1 has found its next pair of "Celebreality" Sunday stars in Andrew Dice Clay and Tom Sizemore. VH1 has ordered eight half-hours of each for a premiere in March. In addition, cabler has renewed "Celebreality" staples "Hogan Knows Best" and "Celebrity Eye Candy" and greenlit production on new series "Celebrity Paranormal Project," from "The Surreal Life" exec producers Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego; "The Fabulous Life Presents: Really Rich Real Estate," a new addition to Fab Life Monday nights; and "The Wendy Williams Experience," a hybrid interview series-docudrama centered on the popular New York radio DJ.Untitled Clay series will follow the foul-mouthed comic as he boards the comeback train. He hit the height of his popularity in the late ’80s with his brand of intentionally shocking, working-class humor. Skein in itself will be part of his multimedia publicity blitz that includes Clay writing a book, cutting a record and producing his own Sirius radio show."Clay on the road is very different from Clay at home," Olde continued. "We juxtapose his love-him-or-hate-him stage persona with his real life as a divorced man muddling through parenting and relationship issues. It’s actually pretty light in tone."Sizemore’s series is compelling for a different reason.Series will trail the now-sober actor as he embarks on acting jobs, including a movie for the BBC that’s lensing in Canada. Sizemore will narrate the proceedings, which will include flashbacks to his battles with drug and sexual addiction via tape he shot on his own. Troy Searer, who also worked on "Bonaduce," and John Foy will exec produce."Celebrity Paranormal Project," a one-hour that sends celebrities to collect data on paranormal activity in some of the world’s scariest, off-limits places (i.e. an asylum said to be haunted by its late criminal insane wards). Rachel Hunter, Gary Busey, Gilbert Gottfried, Traci Bingham and David Carradine are among the celebs on board to participate. Eight-episode series bows in October.
