CHARLES BARKLEY - BARKLEY TAPPED FOR REALITY SHOW

BARKLEY TAPPED FOR REALITY SHOW

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 (08) 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 (Mar09), 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".
