While rockers Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi may be closet curlers, they're not alone.
There's a pretty long list of those who might qualify along with Springsteen and Bon Jovi to be part of the new American curling reality show Rockstar Curling.
The brainchild of Toronto's mktgpartners Canada, the show is expected to air on Saturday afternoons on NBC leading up to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.
But if Springsteen and Bon Jovi, who reportedly have thrown rocks and held brooms a few times, aren't interested, there's a long list of celebrities who've hurried hard at one time or another, according to thecurlingnews.com. Actors Leslie Nielsen and Paul Gross were in the hack in the 2002 movie Men With Brooms, but don't qualify for our list because they're Canadians and there's nothing unusual about Canadians curling.
Country star Toby Keith is reportedly crazy about curling and gets in a game whenever his concert schedule allows.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw a few rocks in 2006 during a visit to Switzerland.
U.S. Olympians Picabo Street and Dan Jansen actually competed in a made-for-TV curling event last year.
