Celebrity Edition

I've been fairly fascinated (if that's possible) in the overwhelming popularity of "Celebrity Edition" spin-offs of our favorite American things. Why do people automatically demand the "Celebrity Edition" of most things and why do these "Celebrity Editions" directly follow a few seasons of lackluster ratings? Is it really that much more fun to watch celebrities play golf or basketball or fight for money from Donald Trump (who is a B-list celebrity) or live in the same house that is labeled 'Surreal'? The answer must be 'yes'. So recently I've been compiling a list of things I'd like to see the "Celebrity Edition" to.

UFC: Celebrity Edition (example: Michael Clarke Duncan vs. Ben Affleck)
vs.
Track and Field Celebrity Edition (just the odd sports like pole vaulting and the triple jump or 100 meter backstroke)

Presidential Campaign 2008: Celebrity Edition. Nevermind, it already happened and Ronald Reagan won. (Although I must say I would be a fan if Rambo ran for Illinois governor, California wouldn't have shit on us. Oh yeah, Rambo, not Sly Stallone.)
Cheaters and/or Maury: Celebrity Edition. Hopefully it wouldn't end up just like another Access Hollywood.

I could see Russell Crowe doing some shit like that.
The possibilities are endless.

P.S. This is the first picture to come up on Google Images when I typed in "Celebrity Edition".
(Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition, such a ridiculous coincidence...should it be a goal of mine?)
