VH1 is getting a new “Surreal Life.”

Another batch of not-so-A-list celebrities moved into a Hollywood mansion this month to have their lives together taped for a fourth season of the reality show, the network said Wednesday.

The latest cast of “The Surreal Life” includes former WWE wrestler Joanie Lauer, aka Chyna; pixie-haired guitarist Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Gos; actor Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady on “The Brady Bunch”; shaggy-haired model Marcus Schenkenberg; sassy rapper Da Brat; Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer; and Adrianne Curry, winner of the first “America’s Next Top Model.”

The third season, which included the unlikely and somewhat disturbing romance between rapper Flavor Flav of Public Enemy and actress Brigitte Nielsen, aired its finale last week.

Past “Surreal Life” cast members have included MC Hammer, Corey Feldman, Ron Jeremy, Tammy Faye Messner, Erik Estrada and Vanilla Ice.

The fourth season will premiere Jan. 9.

Hugh Grant wants to retire

Hugh Grant says he’s lost interest in acting and is heading into retirement, reports MSNBC.com.

Grant, who plays heartthrob Daniel Cleaver in “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” said film acting is a “miserable experience.”

“It’s so long and boring and so difficult to get right,” he said. “I am sort of semiretired. I keep thinking I’m going to write a brilliant script.”

Grant, whose screen credits include “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Notting Hill” and the first “Bridget Jones” movie, gained international notoriety when he was caught in a car with Hollywood prostitute Divine Brown in 1995.

The 44-year-old actor, who took his new girlfriend, heiress Jemima Khan, to this week’s London premiere of “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason,” said he didn’t feel pressure to settle down despite rumors of an engagement.

Schiffer gives birth to girl

Supermodel Claudia Schiffer gave birth to a baby girl Thursday at London’s Portland Hospital, reports The Associated Press.

“We are absolutely thrilled at our newest addition to our family,” film director Matthew Vaughn said in a statement. “I would like to thank my beautiful wife, Claudia, for giving me an equally beautiful daughter, a little sister for Caspar.”

The baby weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces, and mother and daughter were reported to be doing well. The couple didn’t announce her name.

She is the second child for Schiffer and Vaughn, who married two years ago. They have a 22-month-old son, Caspar.

Jolie snubs dad, again

Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, were both giving interviews about their coming films last weekend in the same hotel, but they weren’t able to reconcile their very public father-daughter feud.

In an interview Sunday evening for her film “Alexander,” Jolie, 29, told Zap2it.com, “I do not see any reconciliation with my father ever, no. There’s only so much energy in this life – I don’t want him to make my stomach go into knots anymore.”

On Monday afternoon, Voight, 65, gave interviews for “National Treasure,” in which he plays Nicolas Cage’s father.

“I love my daughter, I’m crazy about my daughter and I will not stop sending her my messages of love and will keep trying to reach her always,” he said.

Voight says he tried to reach her while he was doing interviews on Sunday 20 floors downstairs from her at the St. Regis Hotel in Century City, Calif., but she didn’t respond. The two Oscar winners (she for “Girl, Interrupted” in 1999 and he for “Coming Home” in 1978) had a bitter battle going back to her childhood, and he said she needed therapy. The two settled their differences to co-star in the first “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” film in 2001, but in 2002, she stopped talking to him again.

Jolie, who plays the mother of Colin Farrell in “Alexander,” says, “That was one of the toughest times in my life, when my marriage broke up to Billy Bob Thornton and I separated from my father, but then good things happened, too,” she says, referring to her adoption of a Cambodian child, Maddox. She doesn’t want her son to know his grandfather.

“I don’t want to worry about my son having problems with him as he grows up,” Jolie says. “I don’t hate Voight – I just can’t have that negative energy in my life. We don’t understand each other.”

Voight’s face is pained as he speaks about his daughter. “Look at my face,” he sighs. “I love my children more than my life itself. I’m sure that this will have an ending as all parents hope that there will be a resolve. I’m concerned about her always – I love her deeply.”

“National Treasure” opens Nov. 19 and “Alexander” opens Nov. 24.

Diaz, Justin defend paparazzi

Cameron Diaz and her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, snatched away a photographer’s camera when he and a partner surprised them outside a ritzy hotel in Los Angeles, reports The Associated Press.

Reps for the stars said in a statement that the couple was “ambushed by two men, who jumped out of a concealed hiding place on a dark, deserted street late at night. … Any actions by Diaz and Timberlake were merely taken in self-defense.”

After a brief fracas with the photographer outside the famed Chateau Marmont on Saturday, Diaz broke free and left the scene with the camera.

The publicists said she took it in the hopes that it could be used to identify the men to authorities. They said she turned the camera over to police. Police said the department also received a complaint from one of the photographers, accusing the couple of battery and grand theft.

The matter remains under investigation.

IT GETS WORSE

The sordid details of Liza Minnelli’s looming courtroom battle with her former personal assistant are being made public, and they’re pretty creepy, reports TV Guide Online.

In a $100 million lawsuit, M’Hammed Soumayah alleges that he was “coerced” into having sex with Minnelli while on her payroll. He also accuses her of assault and battery, breach of contract, withholding payment for services rendered and sexual harassment.

The allegations were made public a day after Minnelli sued Soumayah for breach of contract.
