In Confessions of a Teen Idol, seven former teen idols will live together under one roof, and Scott Baio will take on the challenge of remaking their careers. Baio, currently experiencing his own career revitalization, will coach and mentor these once hot celebrities with help from his good friend, actor turned producer Jason Hervey (Wayne from The Wonder Years), a therapist specializing in fame, and a team of Hollywood insiders.
Over the course of eight one-hour episodes, viewers will see the former teen idols analyze their past successes and failures to find out where it all went wrong, then take what they’ve learned and reinvent themselves in an effort to reclaim their careers. Each week, the former idols will explore a different aspect of being famous, uncovering some dark truths about being famous that will shock the audience.
Scott Baio and Jason Hervey are back on VH1, but this time they are helping 7 other teen idols try to recapture what they once had. There are 7 interesting personalities entering the house. Eric Nies is the weirdest of them all and it will be interesting to see how the other 6 will react to oddities. Adrian Zmed is the peacemaker and the daddy of the household. It is weird seeing Billy Hufsey, he doesn’t look like he did when he did Fame so I spent the whole show trying to see the old him. Christopher Atkins still looks great and seems content where he is at. Jeremy Jackson really seems like he wants a second chance. David Chokachi remains pretty quiet until the end of the show where he is ready to walk away. Jamie Walters has his life together and remains quiet throughout the first episode.
The 7 celebs go to a therapist and the first one to confront her on her experience is Eric Nies, but as the weeks go on he will not be the only one. The 7 will have to also go through a focus group and the reality on where they stand will hit them hard. With all they are doing will they be able to be the guys that all the girls want and all the boys want to be. I think some of them really have a chance, and I am hoping they do. I can’t wait to see their transformation on this show because this show is sincerely originaly and really good!
So tune into Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH1 tonight at 8p and every Sunday.
We are three weeks away (january 6th) from the premiere of Confessions of a Teen Idol on VH1 and I cannot wait! The show is about former teen idols looking for a second a chance of a fame. Can the 7 stars find fame once again and survive living together? The 7 guys that most of us girls had a crush on at one time or another are Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon), David Chokachi (Baywatch), Billy Hufsey (Fame), Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch), Eric Nies (MTV’s The Real World and The Grind), Jamie Walters (Beverly Hills 90210), and Adrian Zmed (TJ Hooker, Grease 2).
This sure to be good show is hosted by Scott Baio and he is producing the show with Jason Harvey. Seriously are you as excited as I am for this show?
Scott Baio is back on VH1, but instead of figuring out if he should get married or getting married, he is running a house full of former teen heartthrobs.
It’s comeback time for seven of the most famous hunks of the 80’s and 90’s. These men had it all- the fame, the money, the parties, and the girls. In their prime, these former idols not only graced the covers of teen magazines, but they could barely walk down the street without getting mobbed by a group of adoring fans. But those days of fame are now a distant memory. Today, these former heartthrobs have the opportunity to confront their career and personal mistakes and try to make their way back in to the limelight in “Confessions of a Teen Idol” premiering on VH1 on Sunday, January 4 at 8:00 PM.* The eight-part series features Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon), David Chokachi (Baywatch), Billy Hufsey (Fame), Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch), Eric Nies (MTV’s The Real World and The Grind), Jamie Walters (Beverly Hills 90210), and Adrian Zmed (TJ Hooker, Grease 2). Each hour-long episode provides a rare, never-before-seen look at fame and its consequences as the guys live together, forming a unique and exclusive support group. Under the guidance of television icon Scott Baio, child star-turned-producer Jason Hervey and celebrity psychology expert Cooper Lawrence, these former heartthrobs will be given all of the tools and connections necessary to make a comeback or be faced with the reality that fame is a lot tougher the second time around. The guys will learn to let go of their past fame, reclaim control of their careers and look ahead to their futures. “I really feel that it’s important for people to know what fame is like, and who can give better insight than two guys who have lived through the experience like Jason and myself? We’ve been there and know what it’s like to be in the guys’ shoes. We have both learned how to leave the teen idol days behind and move forward with life and our careers,” said Scott Baio, former teen idol and an executive producer for the series. “When we were developing the show, Jason and I knew that VH1 would be a perfect home for it, we have done shows with them in the past and I think this series will add a new, very real element to their programming and set the stage for future adaptations of this unique franchise.” In the end these former teen idols will be armed with the skills, knowledge and confidence to re-launch their careers in the entertainment industry and chase after one more shot at fame.
Seriously I can't wait for this show. I had crushes on several of those guys when I was growing up, some of them look good while other well I didn't recgonize them.
This sounds like it is going to be a really great show so make sure to tune in on January 4th to see what they have been up to and how it all turns out
