“Stars in Danger: The High Dive”
SPECIAL. Latching on to the popularity of the summer Olympics — or simply desperate to fill a hole in the dreary winter schedule before “American Idol” premieres — Fox presents this D-list reality competition that puts celebrities such as “Jersey Shore” star JWoww and Kim and Kyle Richards of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in a pool — but not to test their tanning skills. The challengers train and compete in both solo and synchronized diving events. Really.
