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.

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.

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.

There are starting to be some rumblings about who will be included in the upcoming season of The Surreal Life’s cast. It has been seemingly confirmed that Poker star Phil Hellmuth will be in the house, along with larger than life former professional wrestler “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Even more intriguing, though, is the scuttle that famed faux-psychic “Miss Cleo” will also be included in the cast.

Both Hellmuth and Savage are known for their quirky personalities while Miss Cleo adds that “mystery” element. Everyone wants to know more about the disgraced psychic spokesperson who may in actuality have just been caught up in an elaborate scam that was not necessarily her doing. We recall the PTL Club and Tammy Faye in a way.

Even though there has yet to be any official press release or cast list from VH1, the rest of the cast is looking to be made up of actor Dabney Coleman, American Idol reject Nikki McKibbin, and comedian/walking product placement Carrot Top. Keep checking back here for updates as they become available.

Recent reports are now linking actress Cameron Diaz and magician Criss Angel as a couple. The pair met at last weekend’s taping of VH1’s Rock Honors. Cameron was there to introduce Heart and Criss did a bit of magic before helping introduce Ozzy Osbourne. Since the taping, the supposed couple have been showing up in public together all over Las Vegas (where the show was filmed) having dinner at the Bellagio, taking in the new Cirque Du Soleil show “LOVE” and partying with Drew Barrymore at Jet Nightclub.

We’ve seen Linda and Terry “Hulk” Hogan attend marriage counseling together on the VH1 CelebReality show “Hogan Knows Best”, but is it working or are the rumors of an impending divorce true? Hollyscoop.com is reporting the strain of TV cameras following them in their daily lives is taking its toll on their seemingly strong bond. Another common cause of fighting is their daugther Brooke’s new singing career. These squabbles have been aired for all to see on VH1 as they argue over everything from how the song should sound to her outfits for photo shoots.

I, for one, am hoping this is just a nasty rumor that won’t go away. I really admire Linda and Terry for their ability to seem so normal even though he wears tights and bangs around with sweaty men for a living. I am always impressed with how they handle their kids and their problems, too. They just seem like such a strong couple that it would be really sad to think that something as trivial as this reality show would be able to break them apart.
