Trailer Choir's Big Vinny may soon need a new name. The singer-songwriter has reportedly signed on to join the cast of the upcoming season of NBC's hit reality competition show, 'The Biggest Loser.'

If true, Big Vinny (whose real name is Vincent Hickerson) would be one of 15 contestants fighting to lose the most weight and win the grand prize of $250,000. The musician comes in as one of the heaviest contestants, with a starting weight of more than 400 pounds.

Season 12 of 'The Biggest Loser' also brings a new trainer to the show. Replacing renowned fitness expert Jillian Michaels will be professional tennis player Anna Kournikova, who joins fellow trainer Bob Harper. The show is hosted by Alison Sweeney of 'Days of Our Lives' fame.

The new crop of 'Biggest Loser's began filming the show in June. Season 12 will premiere September 20 at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.

Jillian and her "partner" wanted to raise babies in the desert. It's too bad that BL is apparently ignoring Big Vinny's connection to Trailer Choir. He's just an entertainer in there promos!

Oh candace, get over it. It's not who you are but what you lose. The show is great. It is an inspiration, even for those who don't need to lose weight.

It really get me that they are now trying to draw in "celebrities" or people who have been in the spotlight. First it was the Olympic medalist, now a singer/songwriter. They need to bring back celebrity fit club if they want their time to shine and lose weight. I tune into the show to see regular people do amazing and awesome things. I don't need it muffed up by adding in people who are known.
