Celebrity Sports Showdown Features Fergie, Sugar Ray Leonard, More in Mini-game Compilation

Publisher Electronic Arts has unveiled Celebrity Sports Showdown, a new Wii-exclusive sports compilation title which features a baffling array of celebrity appearances.

According to MTV, the title makes use of big-headed, cartoonish likenesses of musicians Fergie (pictured left), Nelly Furtado, Leann Rimes and Keith Urban and sports icons Paul Pierce, Mia Hamm, Sugar Ray Leonard and Kristi Yamaguchi.

Those celebrities and others will be battling it out in 12 activities including canoe paddling, dodgeball, inner-tubing, fighter-jet racing, slalom skiing, curling, canoe paddling, volleyball spiking and more. As with most sports mini-game compilations on the Wii, the game said to be modeled after Nintendo's Wii Sports.

Celebrity Sports Showdown marks the latest in a series of utterly bizarre marriages between the gaming and celebrity worlds. Earlier this week, pseudo-celebrity Kim Kardashian was revealed as a playable character in EA Canada's FaceBreaker, likely created using the title's in-game character customization system.

Developed by the EA Playground (Wii, NDS) team at EA Canada, Celebrity Sports Showdown is aimed for release this holiday season.
