Somehow, ABC thinks launching a project with Elton John will be a wise decision. It's not just that Elton isn't the most "stable" person in the industry, but a new sitcom based on the musician's life sounds like its fate will weather worse than Head Cases.

The project, dubbed "Him and Us," revolves around an over-the-hill rock star, his manager and the rest of his colorful entourage.

So basically we've got a network version of Entourage with even more groupies. And butt plugs.
