euroweenies

Fabio has a new show. And in other news:

Jake Jackson, an American-born cowboy, hosts the new reality series "Mr. Man," debuting Monday on the Fox Network.

"We took about 12 wusses from the European Union and we taught them how to be real men, It was a huge challenge." Jackson told Fox News recently. "So, we teach them how to fix cars, how to shoot guns and drive tanks and eat salsa. And, at the same time be a real gentleman with women, which is what women really want."

According to Jackson, one important thing a man can give a woman is his sense of honor. So to that end, "Mr. Man" dispenses with the petty backstabbing so typical of other reality shows. "We had a lot of editing to do, because when you put 12 guys without any testosterone in one room, trust me, real people don't want to see that," Jackson said.

"We get working out with tools and driving and a real job," Jake said. "When you're doing real work, you don't have time to be self-absorbed and vain about your appearance." All that sweat could be worth it. The top prize is $100,000 and the opportunity to train as a SWAT Team member or Navy Seal.

Jackson's basic philosophy in life is, "Never take those euroweenies too seriously. Life is too short."
