Phil Keoghan to Take His Own Amazing Race

He's no stranger to observing overwhelming challenges, but by his own estimation, "This is the most daunting physical thing I have ever attempted," Amazing Race host Phil Keoghan tells PEOPLE about his own amazing race – a 40-day, 39-city cycling tour from Los Angeles to New York.
Starting this Saturday, Keoghan, 41, plans to average 100 miles a day in pedal power. "Riding a bicycle is about getting back to basics," he says. "It's good for the waistline and it's good for the wallet, is what I'm saying."
But Keoghan isn't undertaking the road trip strictly for fitness. His adventure, sponsored by the health-store chain GNC, will take him to GNC outlets, to casting calls for The Amazing Race, to signings of his book No Opportunity Wasted, and to promotions of his favorite portable food NOW One Square Meals. The journey will also help him raise money and awareness for Bike MS.

So now that he got down on one knee and popped the proverbial question, and Nicole Richie is likely off planning their wedding, what is her intended, DJ AM (real name: Adam Goldstein), doing with his time? Planning a reality show, natch. Says DJ AM: "Let's just say it's like Dr. Phil meets DMC DJ battle videotape," referring to the most prestigious of the DJ contests. Of course, he'll have to work on the show in between club gigs – every month, he plays four dates in Las Vegas, two in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and one each in London, Manchester, and Toronto. But wait – there's more: He's also working on an album. "I have a couple offers, a couple people I've been talking to about it," he told us at the recent Vanity Fair Amped party presented by Guess? in Hollywood. "The (issue) is clearance. It's a mix tape, so it's clearing all the songs. If I'm going to put (an album) out, I have to put it out with the music I want: Michael Jackson, Guns N' Roses, Madonna. It's really expensive, so it's tough to make it work." With all he's got going on we're just left wondering when he'll have time for tux fittings and wedding cake tastings...
