Cable music channel plans controversial cartoon show

Canadian cable network MuchMusic USA is reportedly planning Behind the Music That Sucks, a South Park-style cartoon parody of pop stars' lives.

Canada based cable network Muchmusic USA is likely to get bosses at VH1 and many record labels a little hot under the collar with its new cartoon show - Behind the Music That Sucks. Word is the South Park-styled parody includes a whole load of made up stories from pop including Garbage singer Shirley Manson's ill-fated love affair with Star Trek’s James 'Scotty' Doohan, the revelation of Trent Reznor's true identity as TV handyman Bob Vila, the story of a movie collaboration between Jon Bon Jovi and Ed 'Kookie' Byrnes, and the stories of Dr Dre and Eminem presented as Peanuts characters.
