Want to hear some random ass celebrity gossip?  Probably one of the weirdest things ever?  Mike Tyson is going to have a show about pigeons on Animal Planet.  I would think Heidi Fleiss may have done something like this but never thought Tyson…

Animal Planet is teaming up with the former boxing champ for Taking on Tyson, which will follow his involvement with competitive pigeon racing, Broadcasting & Cable reports. “Tyson’s passion for his pigeons takes my breath away,” gushes an Animal Planet exec. “For years, he has been inspired by these birds that he feels have the ‘biggest heart’ in the animal kingdom.”

“I feel a great pride acting as an official representative for all the pigeon fanciers out there. I want people to see why we love these birds,” says Tyson, who has been raising pigeons his entire life. The show is slated to run in early 2011.

Last time we heard of Tyson was when he punched Alan in The Hangover!  Now he is back in full effect making pigeons race?  So weird.  Does anyone else find this strange?
