Barkley Tapped For Reality Show
17 February 2009 8:25 AM, PST

Basketball icon Charles Barkley is teeing up to star in a new golf-themed reality TV show.

Retired Barkley is currently off the air, after bosses at network TNT suspended him from his job as a basketball analyst following his 31 December arrest in Scottsdale, Arizona for driving under the influence (DUI).

But producers at The Golf Channel have negotiated a deal with the star to return to U.S. television - he's been booked to star in The Haney Project next month, reports the New York Post.

Barkley, an avid golfer, will appear in the seven-episode series with legendary instructor Hank Haney "to improve a swing that has been laughed at by millions and ridiculed by his closest friends".

I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Just when you think reality TV can't sink any lower, it always does.
