Reality trio reserve places at CMT's "Inn"

By Kimberly Nordyke

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Maureen McCormick, Bobby Brown and Carnie Wilson, veterans of the CMT reality series "Gone Country," are reuniting with the country music cable channel, this time in a new series titled "Outsider's Inn."

They will join forces to run a bed and breakfast in rural Tennessee. The eight-episode series kicks off with "Brady Bunch" veteran McCormick stumbling upon an inn that overlooks the Great Smoky Mountains and decides to lease it with the option to buy.

Upon realizing the gravity of this undertaking, McCormick brings in Brown and Wilson to help her: McCormick takes over management of the inn and property, R&B singer Brown becomes entertainment director, and Wilson (of Wilson Phillips fame) assumes the role of master chef.

Episodes will feature eclectic houseguests and new problems for the trio to tackle. Production is under way in Newport, Tenn., for an August premiere.
