Ever wanted to play dodgeball, beach volleyball or go canoe racing with the Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie? Well now you can with EA Sports’ new Wii game “Celebrity Sports Showdown.” Fergie is just one of ten random celebs you can choose to play from in this reality show meets videogame concoction.

Positioned as a party game, “Celebrity Sports Showdown” is a step above “Wii Sports” as you can choose from other celebs including Reggie Bush, Paul Pierce and even Avril Lavigne in a series of odd events. Game ships this December in time for the holiday season and will only be available on the Wii.
