So I was casually flipping by VH1 this morning and froze as an image of Billy Hufsey flashed across the TV. Who, you might ask? Well, further to my recent gushings about Fame, he starred on that show for many seasons and was one of my first teen idol crushes. I believe I may have even written a fan letter and received a signed picture in return (I have to track that down!). Since he has disappeared from public view for many years, you can imagine my surprise to see him on TV!
Turns out he is one of several teen idols participating in a new VH1 reality show - I believe they are all going to live together in a house and try and relaunch their careers. Other teen idols include Adrian Zmed, Christopher Atkins, Eric Nies, Jamie Walters, and two guys from Baywatch. Adrian Zmed and Christopher Atkins are a bit before my time and I don't know much about Baywatch but my 90s high school side is curious about Walters and Nies. Besides Eric Nies' weird blond straight hair, is there anything else in this that intrigues anyone? Here's a full list of participants along with short interviews:

I know what I'm watching January 4th!
