Star Studded "Millionaire"
Who's the smartest of the Backstreet Boys? And how do they stand up against Metallica's Lars Ulrich, KISS' Gene Simmons, the Dixie Chicks' Emily Robison, and Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath? All of those stars will test their mental mettle as they battle in two February episodes of popular quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, according to an announcement from ABC. As is standard for the Regis Philbin-hosted show, the questions will encompass a broad range of general knowledge, and each contestant will be allowed three "lifelines" for help. One option allows the stars to call a friend for assistance — which could lead to interesting phone calls. The shows, scheduled for a Feb. 1 taping, will air Feb. 11 and Feb. 14. Though not all the stars are guaranteed a one-on-one with Regis — they have to fight for the hot seat like everyone else — they are all guaranteed $32,000 for the charity of their choice. As with previous celebrity editions of the show, all winnings will be donated to charity. (wallofsound.com)
