VH1 is getting a new “Surreal Life.”

Another batch of not-so-A-list celebrities moved into a Hollywood mansion earlier this month to have their lives together taped for a fourth season of the reality show, the network said Wednesday.

The latest cast of “The Surreal Life” includes former WWE wrestler Joanie Lauer, aka Chyna; pixie-haired guitarist Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go’s; actor Christopher Knight, who played Peter Brady on “The Brady Bunch”; shaggy-haired model Marcus Schenkenberg; sassy rapper Da Brat; Mini-Me actor Verne Troyer; and Adrianne Curry, winner of the first “America’s Next Top Model.”

The third season, which included rapper Flavor Flav of Public Enemy, “American Idol” star Ryan Starr and songstress Charo, aired its finale last week. Over the course of 10 episodes, the cast members lived together while performing regular routines — cleaning the house, grocery shopping — and off-the-wall stunts, including hanging out in a haunted abandoned hospital and surfing.

Past “Surreal Life” cast members have included M.C. Hammer, Corey Feldman, Ron Jeremy, Tammy Faye Baker, Erik Estrada and Vanilla Ice. The first two seasons of the show aired on The WB before moving to VH1.

The fourth “Surreal” season will premiere Jan. 9.
