Inappropriate Television Promos?

A friend of mine was watching the tube the other day when an announcement came on for an upcoming movie:
"Watch Ashton Kutcher tame the Wild West in 'TEXAS RANGERS'[1]"
She wondered if she could make it any more ridiculous, and she came up with this:
"Watch The Artist Formerly Known As Prince tame the Wild West in 'TEXAS RANGERS'"
I don't know if I can top that for that movie (maybe with Paris Hilton), but there are other ones that could be equally crazy. How about:
"Next on Bravo: 'Say Yes to the Dress' with special guest host, Chuck Norris"
Or:
"Stay Tuned for the 'Rachel Ray Show' with her guest chef, Alferd Packer"
Any suggestions?

[1]"Texas Rangers" cost $38,000,000 to make. It was so bad that it was pulled from the theaters after less than three weeks in release (its widest showing was on at most 404 screens) and it made under a million. By percentages, that has to have been one of the biggest flops in movie history. Even Ishtar made back at least 20% of its cost.

    You could make a Christmas movie about Santa's cannibal reindeer, and call it "The Donner (Party) and Blitzen"?

    TAFKAP vs. Chuck Norris. I'd pay to see that.
