WEIRD & WILD: 55,000 bottles of beer on the wall ...
Give me 55,000 cans of beer and I'm there. That's what's promised by the premiere of Hillbilly Deluxe (Friday at 9 p.m. ET, CMT), a look at the dee-lux lifestyles of rich and famous hicks. It's produced and hosted by C. Thomas Howell, the actor, yes, but more than that, the proud winner of VH1's Celebracadabra. It seems his backwoods subjects have a hankerin' for fancy-schmancy log cabin resorts, pink Hummers and shacks like the 55k House of Beer Canslocated in Pennsylvania. (C'mon. Is Pa. really 'billy-land?)
If that's not thrill enough, stay tuned for Paid Vacation With Pauly Shore (Friday at 9:30 p.m., CMT), where the comic scoops up an unsuspecting family for an instant dream vacation. Just one problem: Pauly goes along.
