No it's Seven, not Nine: seems the Packer -owned Network missed that one. Seven says the concept has been around for two years. It does though sound like that U.K. TV horror "I'm A Celebrity, Get me Out of Here".
Production started this week in Vanuatu on the series: what a way to spend the next three months of the Sydney-Melbourne Winter!
It will be hosted by Ian “Dicko” Dickson (a real gig, non-dancing for him, at last),Seven says Celebrity Survivor will pitch a group of Australian identities from the world of sport, television, film and politics against each other as they step out of their comfort zone – no tents, no sleeping bags, no tools and no food – and battle the elements.
It sounds a bit like the after party at The Logies!

Filming starts on Aussie 'Celebrity Survivor'

A celebrity version of Survivor has begun filming in Vanuatu for Australia's Seven Network.
The format of the series is expected to be similar to the original, but with well-known Aussie faces in place of unknowns.
Hosting is Ian 'Dicko' Dickson (My Restaurant Rules, Australian Idol), while celeb contestants include Gabrielle “The Pleasure Machine” Richens, former ironman Guy Leech, politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey.
"With Celebrity Survivor, we've been able to convince some pretty surprising candidates into doing this show," said Tim Worner, Seven’s director of programming and production. "The celebrities are barred from communicating with anyone off the island while they are there but Dicko has been in touch to let us know he's been giving them a few surprises of his own."
Survivor was previously adapted for the Aussie market but was axed after one season due to bad ratings. Vanuatu has previously been used as a location for the original US series.

The Advertiser - Will we survive this epic?
31 may 06
YOU would think that Extreme Makeover was the utter bottom of the barrel when it came to reality TV. Never underestimate the power of network execs, however, and prepare yourself for the kitsch to come.
Channel 7 yesterday announced Celebrity Survivor . Yes, Channel 7 - not Channel 9 - will screen the program, thanks to a legal loophole in the contract with the creators of the original Survivor .
Just like Channel 10's Skating With Celebrities , the star status of this batch of castaways is somewhat questionable. Gabrielle "The Pleasure Machine" Richen's, former ironman Guy Leech, politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey have been announced so far, with a promise of more to come.

Daily Telegraph - Dicko to host Celebrity Survivor
THE last time Australia saw Ian "Dicko'' Dickson on the small screen he was sashaying across a dance floor in frills and tight pants.
Television's resident larrikin's latest venture is to host the Seven Network's new reality program Celebrity Survivor.
On the back of the recently launched variety show It Takes Two and the top-rating Dancing With the Stars, Seven has pulled more celebrities out of the bag.
Personalities including Gabrielle ``The Pleasure Machine'' Richens, former ironman Guy Leech, NSW politician David Oldfield and model Imogen Bailey were shipped off to Vanuatu late last week to battle the elements.
Stepping out of their comfort zones and into the wildness, each star will work against the other with no tents, sleeping bags, tools or food in a battle for the best star survivor.
Seven hopes the program will be a ratings winner and will announce more contestants soon.
``With Celebrity Survivor, we've been able to convince some pretty surprising candidates into doing this show,'' said Tim Worner, Seven's director of programming and production.
``The celebrities are barred from communicating with anyone outside the island while they are there but Dicko has been in touch to let us know he's been giving them a few surprises of his own.''
With just the clothes on their backs and one favourite item, the stars will be voted off one by one with only one winner.
It is believed the winning celebrity will spend a total of three weeks on the island.
``These celebrities are used to red carpets and star treatment - they have no idea how tough this shoot is going to be,'' said David Mason, Celebrity Survivor's series producer.
``They are in for the shock of their lives.''
While Nine has the rights to screen the US version of Survivor, Seven have the rights to a local version.
Celebrity Survivor joins Seven's mid-year programs that includes new Aussie series The Real Seachange and True Blue and the returning local series True Stories, hosted by Anna Coren.
American smash hits Greys Anatomy and 24 return next month.

Imogen & MySpace
Hi everyone,
Well we've been getting so many emails asking about Imogen's MySpace website that we thought we should address it here once and for all.
No ... it isn't really Imogen. Neither Imogen or myself has setup this MySpace account, nor did we give permission or endorse any of the material published on the site. The person who is running this account on MySpace is pretending to be Imogen by posting photos, comments and information that is mostly just made up or taken from other interviews.
To set some of the misinformation right, here's what was said at MySpace, and what's REALLY true - from the one and only Imogen Bailey ...
Sports ...
MYSPACE: volleyball, tennis, soccer hanging out with friends
TRUTH: Imogen doesn't play volleyball, tennis or soccer although she is very active and athletic. She prefers pilate's to keep her
Things I Love ...
MYSPACE: the small things, people remembering to call me when they say they will,honesty, loyalty, sense of humor, having fun, my little puppy lucky!
TRUTH: Neither of Imogen's dogs (she has 2) are called lucky.
Things I Hate ...
MYSPACE: liars, cheaters, and wierdos!! haha
TRUTH: Do you know anyone who likes liars, cheaters and wierdos?!?!? haha. DUH!
What I do in My Spare Time:
MYSPACE: Go to the beach, hang out with friends, go shopping, play tennis/vball, try and stay in shape! lol, and just have fun! modelling takes up most of my time! theres a lot of travelling invloved so its rare that i end up home for a long period of time..sometimes i get homesick..but this is the life i chose!
TRUTH: While Imogen does travel a lot, she does make a point of spending as much time as possible at her Sydney home with her dogs and her family close by. As for the beach, hanging out with friends, shopping and staying in shape ... doesn't that summarize 50% of Australian women?!
So, how do you know if you are reading genuine information about Imogen? Imogen's only official website is this one - http://www.imogenbailey.com with the domain http://www.imogen-bailey.com going to the same site. If you are in doubt about the authenticity of an Imogen photo, quote, website or autographed merchandise simply drop us a line or post a comment here on the blog & we'll verify it for you.
What's the big deal you ask?
Well if it was a fan of Imogen setting up a site like this Imogen would be honored and flattered, but this person is claiming to be Imogen and therefore making statements and comments which are incorrectly attributed to Imogen by her fans, the media and the general public.
What can you do to help?
If you have a MySpace account, visit the fake MySpace site here: http://www.myspace.com/imogenbailey and add as a friend. Post a comment letting Mr Fake know where to find the REAL Imogen Bailey!
Thanks for reading & stay tuned for more Imogen updates in a few weeks.
