Amy Winehouse, Madonna or Nadya Suleman: Who should star on 'I'm a Celebrity?'

This summer, NBC will roll out the series "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!, a show based on the successful international series about stars who give up their posh and privileged lifestyles to survive in a rough-and-tumble, no-frills, vermin-infested jungle.

The series will launch as a two-hour event June 1, followed by one-hour episodes Monday through Thursday over the first three weeks in June. During the fourth week, episodes will air Monday through Wednesday with the finale slated for June 24.

If you can follow that confusing schedule, you're a better man than us, Gunga Din.

We have a few casting suggestions of stars we'd love to see stripped of their celebrity status and put in a survival situation.

How about poor, washed up pop tart Lindsay Lohan?

Considering her new film has gone straight to cable, she could really use a job. And being away from Hollywood would mean fewer paparazzi and her 'sicko fans,' as she calls them.

Or possibly Lisa Rinna, who probably won't land that role on the new "Melrose Place" and could use a vacation. Or perhaps pathetic Charlie Sheen-hating honker Denise Richards, whose obnoxious, loud laugh could attract a gang of unfriendly apes.

We vote for singer Amy Winehouse because you just know she will smuggle booze in, gobble up a psychedelic plant, make out with crocodiles and go topless while playing Scrabble.

But for pure comic relief, how about Nadya Suleman?

She can leave her 14 kids with all those nannies she's hired.

But we bet it wouldn't be long before Nadya would be whining for her federal assistance!

Still thinking ... Mickey Rourke would totally survive.

He's already survived being really stripped of his celeb status and creature comforts a decade or so ago. And who knows how long it will be before the comeback kid self-destructs again?

Madonna could probably win the show, but she'd probably end up eating everyone else to survive, like those people in that horrific Andes mountain plane crash.

The producers should try for Miley Cyrus, who could not survive without posting naughty photos on MySpace.

But they should settle for Britney Spears, but then they'd have to bring (and pay) her dad Jamie Spears too.

We have a feeling he'd be a real party pooper.

"Don't eat that tarantula, Brit-Brit. Its not on your diet plan!"

The economy is worse than we thought: Lindsay Lohan takes the subway?

Lindsay Lohan is still getting paid to act. But for how long?
