Prepare for Confessions of a Teen Idol

How do you talk to an angel?

Thanks to the upcoming VH1 reality show, Confessions of a Teen Idol, we may soon find out.

Hosted by Scott Baio, this look at former teen icons that not a soul on earth has thought about in years will premiere on January 4. The eight-part series will feature:

• 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)
• Adrian Zmed (TJ Hooker, Grease 2)

“This is the world’s most unique men’s club. Even the producers are all guys who were famous as teenagers," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, VH1.

"They speak a different language and this show allows them to not only share their stories of past fame with each other, but forces them to really explore their hopes and fears about daring to want that fame back as grown men. This is not like any reality show you’ve ever seen before.

It is not a competition and there are no eliminations. But there is refreshingly honest (and at times very dramatic) look at the addiction of fame and a real opportunity for each one of these guys to get that stardom back."
