Premiere date: Tuesday 15 January, 2008 at 22h00

Celebrity Rap Superstar is a reality show in which celebrities from the worlds of music, TV, film, sports and pop culture compete in a winner-takes-all rap battle.

Can blogarazzi blabbermouth Perez Hilton out-rhyme rocker Sebastian Bach? Will it be Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson, Laguna Beach/The Hills bad boy Jason Wahler or actress Shar Jackson who can drop mad science? Or will it be actress/singer Countess Vaughn, actor Efren Ramirez or former NFL player Jamal Anderson who proves they have what it takes to bring the noise?

And what's in it for them? Street cred and respect.

Over the course of eight weeks each celebrity learns their verses and practices their flow with their mentors before performing their rhymes in front of a studio audience, viewers and judges.

On the panel of judges: DMC (Run-DMC), rapper Da Brat and radio personality Big Boy.

US viewers cast their votes and every week one celebrity gets eliminated until one Celebrity Rap Superstar remains.

Hosted by actor/comedian Kevin Hart (The Big House, Epic Movie, Soul Plane), the show includes surprise guests, behind-the-scenes battles, blunders and beef.
