E! just announced that they’re getting in the housewives game with their new series, Married to Rock. Yes, just as the title sounds, the new docuseries will follow the wives of famous musicians or band members. Looks like everyone wants to hop on the housewives train! VH1 has NBA Wives, they’re getting Football Wives…Bravo has the original Housewives, and now E! wants a piece of the the trainwreck pie. Don’t we have enough already? How far are they going to expand this genre? I bet they’ll keep going until every random profession is uncovered. “Next on WE TV, The Real Housewives of Famous Nurse Practitioners.”–it’s a bit much.

ANYWAY….The rock wives are:

Susan Holmes McKagan–wife of former Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan (yes, he has a last name!)

Etty Farrell – wife of Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell

Josie Stevens – wife of Billy Idol’s longtime guitarist Steven Stevens

AJ Celi – girlfriend of Cult guitarist Billy Duffy

Billy Idol’s guitarist?? A girlfriend of a guitarist from the Cult? I’m keeping my mouth shut.

The new series will premiere on November 7th at 10:30 PM ET/PT.

I shared a taxi once with the fiddle player for Billy Dean, does that mean I could qualify for the show? Oh wait, that’s country.

Bwaaaaaaah! Unbeweavable. If there can’t be an actual housewife in every home, there can be one on every tv set. Has anyone followed Dr. Phil’s howives?

Will be a scripited show. Can’t imagine E telling their true stories of infidelity and how the wives still hang on because they can not live without the fame and fortune. Must be a very hard life to live.
