Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ben Silverman are in the kitchen together for "Celebrity Cooking Showdown," a five-night reality miniseries being fast-tracked by NBC for an April debut. Blending elements of Food Network's "Iron Chef America" and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," skein will pair superstar chefs with celebs in a weeklong cooking competition. Culinary titans Wolfgang Puck, Cat Cora (Food Network's "Kitchen Accomplished") and Govind Armstrong (exec chef at Table 8 in L.A.) have signed on to help tutor celebs in preparation for culinary battle . . . "We've been desperate to do cooking in primetime," Silverman told Daily Variety. "And who's more primetime than Diddy?" Exec said he approached the hip-hop impresario because he thought he'd make "a great partner to help lock in talent, to promote the show and to help with the creative aspects. Combs is also no stranger to TV production, having quietly set up three cable shows in recent years: HBO's "The Bad Boys of Comedy" and MTV's "Making the Band" and "Run's House." What's more, Combs is the owner of two restaurants, so "Celebrity Cooking Showdown" is something that's "not out of my space," Combs said. (source)
