Watching VH1

This week, Bret brought in the Ex-boyfriends of his girls and he also brought in one of his ex-girlfriends - Season 1’s Heather! I can’t believe I actually missed her, but it makes me realize how boring this season is. I’m definitely glad she’s back.

My good friend Christina over at RealityShack recapped all the goodness for us (and she did Flavor of Love, too!), so check out those recaps:

Scott Baio is getting married soon, and there is still a lot of planning to do. That is, if he can stay sane between his fiancee, the new baby, and the wedding planner. Did you miss this week’s episode of Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant? Never fear, Meg over at RealityShack saw it and wrote a great recap.

Since there was no Rock of Love on this past weekend, how about a little recap of Flavor of Love instead? My good pal Christina brings you the crazy in all its glory with her Flavor of Love 3 Recap. Enjoy!

There are lots of rumors about our favorite CelebReality stars and shows floating around this week. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Flavor Flav Engaged to Baby Momma?

Could it be? Can Flav be expecting baby #8 and smitten with the baby momma? It is rumored that this season of Flavor of Love is all just for show and that Flav, in real life, has popped the question to a woman that is not on the show who is pregnant with his (eighth) child.

He is, of course, denying this rumor. Who knows? He’s got so many kids with two different women already, I wouldn’t be surprised. I just can’t see him engaged, though. Since season 3 has long since wrapped, does it really matter if he’s engaged now anyway? Is there really anyone out there watching this show that believes he will ACTUALLY find true love on this show?

I Love New York Goes Hollywood

New York may have found her true love in Tailor Made on Season 2 of I Love New York, but there will be a season 3 of New York. No, the happy couple did not break off their engagement, and this time the show will not focus on New York looking for love. Instead, she’s looking for acting jobs. New York (and presumably her man Tailor Made) will move to LA as she looks for fame. VH1 is trying to cast some established industry types to help her on her quest.

She did a decent job on Nip/Tuck, but of course she was playing herself. Who knows if she has any range? Maybe she’ll also take some acting classes. That could be funny!

Hulk Hogan’s New Reality Show

Hulk may be in the process of a divorce, but he’s got some gigs going to help pay for all of those legal bills (and Linda’s alimony, for sure). Not only is Hulk co-hosting the remake of American Gladiators, he and Eric Bischoff are pitching a reality show to train celebrities as wrestlers and then get them in a WWE ring. It looks like CMT will be the network to air the show, but nothing is set yet. The show is produced by the Hervey-Bischoff company (which makes Scott Baio’s shows on VH1).

Hulk was originally rumored to have been creating his own wrestling company to rival that of the WWE and TNA franchises. I don’t know for sure if this is what that venture turned into, or if that was put on hold until the licensing rights could be cleared (that was the last I have read about that company).

Brooke Hogan Takes Over Hogan Knows Best

The Hogan family unit may be in disarray, but when has that ever stopped VH1? Hogan Knows Best will return for a 5th season, but this time, it will focus on Brooke and her career. She’ll be filming the show alone in Miami (her mother and brother are currently living in Hollywood) while Hulk focuses on American Gladiators.

The show will follow Brooke as she records her new album and competes on ABC’s new reality show “America’s Prom Queen”. I don’t know how I feel about this. Brooke centric episodes of Hogan Knows Best were probably my least favorite (unless it involved Hulk terrorizing her boyfriends). I guess I’ll just wait and see.

So I have a confession to make. I haven’t watched any of the new CelebReality shows this week. I know, I know, BAD WATCHING VH1 BLOGGER! Never fear, I will watch those episodes one of the gazillion times they are rerun on VH1, but I don’t want to keep you waiting any longer for recaps.

Luckily, I have some great friends over at RealityShack who have got your back this week. Meghan has got a great recap up of Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant (she also got to interview the lovely Mrs. Renee Sloan Baio–Scott Baio’s baby mama and most patient woman in the world). Scott is finally a dad and his little baby girl has made her way into the world! Also, we have the always funny Christina writing her Rock of Love Recap in the form of a letter to Bret Michaels and she also has up a great review of Flavor of Love’s crazy shenanigans this week. So show them some love and click the links below to get your fix of CelebReality Recaps!

Flavor FLAV! Riding on fake baby elephants! Thing 1 and Thing 2? What kind of crazy is holed up in this house? Well, our good old VH1 boy Flav is back and really looking for love this season…again. I, unfortunately, am unable to recap the season for you. However, I will link you to a great recapper Christina over at the RealityShack who does an outstanding job bringing you the recap and the funny with Flavor of Love episodes.

So click here and read her recap and then come back to discuss!

Who knew? Deelishis, the winner of Flavor of Love 2 can sing! In fact, she has a new video out for her single “Rumpshaker”. The video even includes cameo appearances from Becky (Buckwild), Saaphyri, and Shea (Buckeey) from Flavor of Love 2 and Charm School. I’ve got the video clip for you right here. Enjoy!

Yeah, BOOOYYY-EEEEEE! Flav-or FLAV!

There will be a Flavor of Love 3. Do you have what it takes to win Flav’s heart (or other various body parts)? Put on your best clock necklace and make your way to Lotus Lounge in Atlanta for the Open Casting Call on August 6th. This is the only audition spot I am aware of at this time, but I will post if I find more information on other sites.

We all know that Jennifer on Charm School (Toasteee on Flavor of Love 2) had a porn past, and Larissa (Bootz) created a risque calendar, but now we can add a couple more naughty girls to the ever growing list.

Not to be outdone by her ex-friend Larissa, Shay from Charm School (Buckeey on Flavor of Love 2) also has her own naughty calendar out for sale on her website. For only $14.99 you can spend the year with a scantily clad Shay hanging on your wall. I guess Charm School didn’t really sink in because most of those pictures aren’t even close to charming.

TMZ is reporting a couple of stories about some CelebReality stars. First up is Rock of Love’s Brandi C. She’s the really annoying large breasted blonde. Okay, so that doesn’t really narrow it down, does it? How about she’s the one who is constantly talking in a screechy baby voice that was so upset Bret wouldn’t spend time with her on the first night. The most current episode had her crying because Erin told her she had a “meth scratched face”. Anyway, it looks like Brandi C. has been dabbling in the porn industry herself.

Brandi, or as she’s named on babygotboobs.com, “Brittany,” went straight from filming Brett Michaels’ show — to shooting a threesome. That’s a busy girl!

The same website also reports that Charm School winner Saaphyri, and Flavor of Love 2 winner Deelishis were out partying together and not making any new friends. Apparently the duo cut to the front of the line for the ladies’ room and the other women were not impressed with their “star” status. TMZ reports:

Putting their TV training to work, the diva disasters then began screaming obscenities in the older woman’s face.

Oh, dear. Mo’Nique, where are you?

Some of Flav’s best pals and past loves came out for the taping of the Comedy Central Roast of the Public Enemy and CelebReality star this past weekend. Here are a few pictures of the arrivals for the event. There are more pictures after the jump.

The man of the hour, Flava Flav.

The Flavor of Love Girls just can’t keep their clothes on…or wear very little of them, anyway. This time, current Charm School bad girl Larissa Aurora (Bootz from Flavor of Love 2) has released a calendar of racy pictures. TMZ.com has some pictures of the calendar up on their website.

The 22 year old isn’t the first of the Flavor of Love/Charm School girls who has come out with a naughty product. Jennifer Toof (Toasteee) has a recently released porn video on shelves. Undoubtedly, these young women are trying to stretch their fifteen minutes of fame from their stints on VH1 CelebReality shows.

What do you think of these ladies and their “career” decisions? Are you all for it, or do you side more with Florence Henderson and her thoughts when she was on the Surreal Life (if you didn’t catch that season, Florence was forever trying to get Playboy Playmate Andrea Lowell to keep her clothes on)? Leave me some comments about this.

It seems as if Charm School’s latest expelled student, Jennifer/Toasteee is experiencing more problems due to her pornography past. Pilly’s Daily News is reporting that a hardcore pornography tape starring Jennifer will be released soon:

Vivid Entertainment announced yesterday that it has obtained a 40-minute sex tape featuring Toof and an unidentified male, which it plans to release as a DVD called “Toastee Exposed,” on May 16. A trailer is posted at Toastee Exposed.com.

The reason Flava Flav kicked her off of “Flavor of Love 2″ was because she lied to him about not having a porn past and he found pictures that proved otherwise. Jennifer is claiming to have no stake in this tape being leaked and it was released without her permission, but she doesn’t seem to be trying very hard to stop it, either.

What do you think about this latest “celebrity” releasing a porn tape? Does it ever help them or does it hurt them? Sound off in the comments section below.

Oh, Flava Flav. You really need to get another house full of crazy women together and give us more great scenes. This is a clip from Flavor of Love 2 with Buckeey and Krazy getting in each others’ faces on the balcony of the house. Now that’s entertainment!

Yes, VH1 reruns its CelebReality lineup into the ground as their respective season airs, and then again in marathon form when new seasons of the shows are premiering, but if you miss the “classic” seasons of these shows, then this deal is for you.

Early reports are saying that the TV Guide channel is paying out $6.7 million dollars for the exclusive three-year rights of old episodes of shows like “My Fair Brady”, “The Surreal Life”, “Flavor of Love”, and “Strange Love”. The channel will also get first dibs of “I Love New York” and “Charm School” after they’ve run their course on VH1. During those three years, VH1 will not be allowed to show any of those episodes.

What do you think about this deal? Are you excited to see some of your favorite CelebReality shows getting new life, or do you prefer a surprise marathon on VH1 every now and then? Leave me some comments and also check out the full article about this deal.

As I was surfing the internet, I came across an article at MediaTakeOut.com breaking the story that VH1 and host Mo’Nique are being sued for stealing the idea behind Charm School, VH1’s new show that takes former Flavor of Love contestants and tries to turn them into proper ladies. The following letter, which was sent to VH1, has details of the situation.

RE: Drew Sidora - “Ghetto Fabulous”

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We represent Drew Sidora and her affiliated entities. VH1’s new reality television series “Charm School” (the “Series”) is a blatant infringement of Ms. Sidora’s copyrighted reality television project “Ghetto Fabulous” (the “Project”).

Ms. Sidora and her manager, Allison Jordan, together with Charles Sims, prepared a treatment (the “Treatment”) for the Project, which they registered with the Writers Guild of America on February 19, 2004 and again on April 8, 2004. In early 2005, Ms. Jordan and Corliss King pitched the Project and submitted the Treatment to Stacey Jenkins at VH1. Ms. Jordan and Ms. King described the Project as a reality show about “Ghetto Fabulous” girls who are taught proper etiquette and transformed from ghetto to glamorous. Ms. Jordan and Ms. King spoke with Ms. Jenkins on multiple separate occasions over the course of more than a year, setting forth many potential story ideas and scenarios.

Although Ms. Jenkins unequivocally indicated to Ms. Jordan and Ms. King that VH1 genuinely liked the concept and told them that VH1 intended to pursue the Project, Ms. Jordan and Ms. King did not hear from Ms. Jenkins or anyone else at VH1 again. Ms. Sidora therefore presumed that VH1 had elected not to pursue the development of the Project.

In light of the foregoing, Ms. Sidora, Ms. Jordan, Ms. King and Mr. Sims were shocked and outraged last week when for the first time they saw the promotional segments for the Series. VH1’s description of the Series reads like the description of the Project. Specifically, VH1 describes the Series as a reality series about “ghetto fabulous” girls who are enrolled in a charm school and thereby transformed from ghetto to glamorous.

VH1’s liability under copyright and tort law is clear. It is undisputed that VH1 had extensive access to the Project. Moreover, based on the overwhelming substantial similarities between the Project and the Series, a reasonable person would conclude that the Series is a blatant misappropriation of the Project.

Accordingly, Ms. Sidora demands that VH1 immediately cease and desist from any further development, production, distribution and any other exploitation of the Series, and confirm to us in writing not later than April 1, 2007 that VH1 has done so. In addition, VH1 must compensate Ms. Sidora for the illegal and infringing use of the Project and the loss of opportunity to produce the Project as a television series. If VH1 fails so to comply, our client will protect her rights by aggressively pursuing legal and equitable remedies against VH1, including asserting claims for copyright infringement, breach of implied contract, breach of confidence, interference with prospective economic advantage, and unfair competition—claims that carry significant compensatory and punitive damages as well as injunctive relief.

This letter is not intended to be a complete recitation of the relevant facts of this matter. Furthermore, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of our client’s rights or remedies, either at law or in equity, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.

What will this lawsuit do to the premiere of Charm School (scheduled to air April 15th)? Check back here for more updates on the situation.
