Watching VH1

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.

Will the new season of CelebReality EVER get here? This week sure is seeming to drag on and on, don’t you think? Well, while we’re waiting, let’s look around at the gossip surrounding our favorite VH1 CelebReality stars.

New York and Tailor Made Still Going Strong

So we know that Tailor Made and New York got engaged on the reunion show (thank goodness she’s not pregnant!), but there had been rumors floating around some internet message boards this week that they had broken up after the airing of the finale and it was all just a show until that was over. Not true, says a VH1 spokesperson. They are still together, in love, and there will be no I Love New York 3. Good for them! Let’s just hope there isn’t a reality show for Sister Patterson and Champion. By the way, if you missed the reunion show, you can go to RealityShack and read my good friend Christina’s hilarious recap.

Brooke Hogan, Dancing Queen?

There has been lots of talk about Brooke Hogan trying to lobby her way onto the next season of Dancing With the Stars. Hulk Hogan himself confirmed that she did indeed try out for the show, but there is no official cast list as of yet. He also mentioned in a Newsweek article that she may get her own spin off of the CelebReality hit Hogan Knows Best. The show is currently halted do to the pending divorce of Hulk and Linda and Nick Hogan’s current legal troubles.

Jessica Sierra May Be in Rehab Forever

Celebrity Rehab doesn’t begin airing until tomorrow on VH1, but we already know that one participant, former American Idol contestant Jessica Sierra, didn’t learn her lesson from Dr. Drew on the show. Sierra has been in jail since December 1st after being arrested in Florida for drug possession, among other things. The pregnant jailbird got a reprieve earlier in the week, though, when the judge agreed to release Jessica into the custody of Dr. Drew as long as she spent an entire year in his rehab facility in California, followed by three years’ probation. However, she was about to board the plane when she got word that the state of California Department of Probation denied her transfer, and so she cannot leave Florida. She is due back in court to figure out what can be done about her situation since she is not allowed to attend the rehab center in California.

So, tomorrow is the reunion show for I Love New York 2. While we’re waiting for that crazy mess to come on, let’s look back at one of the most entertaining parts of the season, shall we? Let’s get a behind the scenes look at the Entertainer’s mom’s fight with Sister Patterson with some additional interviews and scenes not seen on air. There are a few instances of adult language in the clip, just so you know.

Some VH1 CelebReality stars were caught out and about on New Years’ Eve a few nights back living it up and some even creating some controversy for us to examine. Are you ready to read about all the debauchery and celebrating? Let’s get to it!

First of all, Perez Hilton has several pictures up on his blog of VH1’s newest CelebReality couple New York and Tailor Made. The fact that they partied it up and kissed (awkwardly, very awkwardly) for the cameras leads me to believe those rumors about New York being pregnant with Buddha’s baby not true. After all, that was supposed to all go down on the reunion show ending with Tailor Made dumping New York and that’s been taped already. Of course, since the reunion show hasn’t aired, it is possible they are playing it up for the cameras so no one suspects what will really happen on Sunday night’s reunion show. My guess is that the rumor about their engagement is the one that is really true. Judging by the pictures, though, they really need to work on their chemistry. The kissing just seems fake.

Today I came across a photo at TMZ.com that was almost disturbing. Kimberley Locke looks great after her Celebrity Fit Club stint, but she was indeed spotted out and about cozying up with one Sgt. Harvey Walden IV on New Years Eve. That’s right! The drill sergeant and trainer from Celebrity Fit Club seems to have taken a personal interest in Ms. Locke post show. However, there is a slight problem. You see, Harvey is a married man. His reps claim he is still married to his wife, but TMZ pointed out that he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring when he was seen out with Kimberley. This is definitely a story I’ll keep my eye on and bring you more information when it is available.

Well, that was a really quick 2 years. Okay, so it wasn’t really 2 years, but that’s what New York said she wanted when Tailor Made proposed to her on the I Love New York 2 finale. However, now People.com is reporting that New York and Tailor Made are definitely engaged and totally in love. A source told People exclusively that Tailor Made proposes again to her on the reunion show and this time she accepts his proposal.

Now this is contrary to what was reported earlier about New York being pregnant with Buddha’s child and looking to do a third season of I Love New York as a result. Of course, People is a pretty respectable source, so I would take its word over the other rumor.

Now a new rumor plagues the couple. Someone claims that Tailor Made was hitting on every woman with a pulse at his company’s Christmas party. He works in the fashion industry for Marc Ecko brands and seemed to get a little drunk at his holiday party and was seen holding hands with one woman, kissing another, and hitting on all the others. Again, this is just a rumor, but it could spell trouble for the newly engaged couple.

In case you were wondering, yes, Tailor Made is still technically married, but his divorce from Nancy should be final at any time now. After that is finalized, the happy couple will be cleared to marry. Perhaps the wedding preparations and ceremony would make a nice third season.

Oh dear. Rumors are fun, aren’t they? Rumors are especially fun when it comes down to VH1’s favorite trainwreck who is unlucky in love, New York. Here is a bit of a warning before you read the rest of this post: some possible spoilers are contained within. Nothing has been confirmed, but there is a good chance that the winner of I Love New York 2 has been leaked, along with what happens at the reunion show. So if you don’t want to know, don’t keep reading after the jump.
