ABC's 'Celebrity Wife Swap' has reportedly lined up two participants: Gary Busey and former New Life Church pastor Ted Haggard.Yep, you read those names right.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, Haggard and Busey will swap partners ... without the sex of course. The Gazette reports the show will shoot at the GLBT Pride Center in Colorado Springs on Thurs., Sept. 22.
Each episode of 'Celebrity Wife Swap' follows two couples as they switch wives for two weeks. For the first week the new wives must live by the manual left by host family. The second week, the new wives take control and set out to try and change the way their "new" families live. Each episode ends with the real couples reuniting and having a meeting of the minds with their counterparts.
ABC Orders 'Celebrity Wife Swap' (Yay!)

'Celebrity Wife Swap' is coming! And guess what? It'll (probably) be amazing.According to the Hollywood Reporter, ABC has ordered six episodes of the new reality series, which will feature celebrities trading their luxurious lifestyles for a week. No air date is set.
ABC adapted 'Wife Swap' from the U.K. version, which featured celebrity episodes where Freddie Starr and his wife Donna swapped lives with Samantha Fox and her partner Myra Strattan.
Here's the thing about 'Wife Swap': It's incredibly addicting. The show takes people, throws them into a completely absurd situation -- usually rich people switching with a family struggling through some rough economic times or a super religious family switching with Wiccans -- and lets the cameras roll. It's a classic formula that has made for hundreds of hours of entertainment.
