			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2009/07/punisher_vids.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81764" title="punisher_vids" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2009/07/punisher_vids.jpg" alt="punisher_vids" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>The first of the pretty damn NSFW videos below features the <a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2009-06-22/megan-wants-a-millionaire-full-cast-reveal/" target="_blank"><em>Megan Wants a Millionaire</em> cast member</a> who goes by the name of Punisher doing what must have earned him his millions &#8212; a strip routine replete with leather, a mask, Prince tunes, a banana hammock and a brutal treatment of the floor via his thrusting crotch. I think he got the stage pregnant, guys.</p>
<p>It turns out that the Punisher is big (heh) on the New York male-stripper circuit (you can visit his website <a href="http://www.flava-punisher.com/index.php?id=1" target="_blank">here</a>, which is also fairly NSFW). The <a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2009-07-01/megan-wants-a-millionaire-watch-the-supertrailer/" target="_blank"><em>Megan Wants a Millionaire </em>supertrailer</a> suggests that he busts out those moves on the show (premiering Sunday, Aug. 2, at 9/8c). Yay! If he puts this much (and, from the looks of it, it&#8217;s <em>a lot</em>) into entertaining strangers, can you imagine what lengths he&#8217;ll go to win the heart of someone he&#8217;s actually interested in?</p>
<p>Examples of Punisher&#8217;s art and craft are below. Did we mention that this stuff is NSFW?</p>

<p>As entertaining and (maybe) illuminating as <a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2009-07-07/bubbles-and-it-a-meeting-of-the-minds/" target="_blank">Bubbles&#8217; chat with It</a> was, we couldn&#8217;t let that be her final say about her time on <em>Charm School</em>. Below is a text interview with (a perhaps surprisingly articulate)  Bubbles, in which she talks about the road to becoming a powerful woman, her altercations with various peers, the abuse in her past and why there&#8217;s nothing wrong with swimming in the air.</p>
<p><span id="more-81587"></span></p>
<p><strong>How was your time on the show?</strong></p>
<p>My time on the show was about growth. The $100,000 did reinforce me to improve, but I’ve been trying to self-improve myself for awhile. It’s not easy. I learned to take a stand, to be more of a powerful woman, to change my perspective on life, not to be so, so, so, so positive, but to see what’s bad – what is really out there. And there’s bad things out there. And that’s what I learned, also.</p>
<p><strong>What specifically during <em>Charm School</em> taught you how to take a stand? </strong></p>
<p>Getting pushed around enough times is going to push one of your buttons, and you have to figure out what to do with that situation. You don’t want that to happen anymore, but then you want to approach it in a way where you’re not too aggressive, and you want to do it in a way where you’re not to passive. I wanted to be more assertive so that people could hear me and people wouldn’t walk all over me and think I was just this goofy girl.</p>
<p><strong>The way we saw the first few episodes play out, it seemed like the rest of the <em>Real Chance</em> girls just snapped and were screaming at you out of nowhere.</strong></p>
<p>The thing is, I have grew a little defensive of my intelligence, because when you get insulted all your life about the same thing, it’s like somebody poking you in the arm, in the same spot. It’s going to eventually hurt. You’re going to grow a shield. You’re going to think right away that people are insulting your intelligence when they’re not even doing that, because you’re being defensive for a reason. So I went up to Ki Ki and said, “I don’t understand why you call me retarded when you didn’t even know the names of the animals in the farm activity [on <em>Real Chance</em>].” That’s all I said. It wasn’t that big, but she made it so much bigger, because she’s a lot more defensive than I am. And a lot of people that are defensive and abusers, they make themselves as victims. They see themselves as victims, and they don’t realize that what they’re doing is abusing.</p>
<p><strong>It’s interesting that you say that because <em>you </em>were accused of playing the victim. </strong></p>
<p>La La did accuse me, saying that I liked to play the victim role. I don’t like people yelling in my face. I like a happy, positive world. Then Ricki Lake saw that I actually do have problems, and that I am a victim. She saw that. And when she said that on TV, I was like, “Oh my god, wow.” Even though she didn’t mean it in a mean way, it kind of hurts to see myself that way, as a victim. I feel like in my life, I really was a victim. And one of the things I really wanted to accomplish coming out of <em>Charm School</em> was to be a powerful woman.</p>
<p><strong>Do you feel like a powerful woman?</strong></p>
<p>I still feel like I need a little more to become that powerful woman, but I’m trying. I’m still growing.</p>
<p><strong>Once the <em>Real Chance </em>girls got off your back, Ashley started on you.</strong></p>
<p>Well, during the fitness challenge, I was brainstorming out loud. I think I should have brainstormed the first two things I brainstormed in my head only.</p>
<p><strong>Like swimming in the air?</strong></p>
<p>No, there’s nothing wrong with the swimming in the air, and Brittaney Starr said that it wasn’t enough cardio. And it was enough cardio because you’re getting cardio in your arms, and cardio in your legs, and you’re getting cardio in a fun way. And it’s cute.</p>
<p><strong>Did it hurt you when Ashley said that talking to you was like talking to a retarded child?</strong></p>
<p>Of course it did. It made me feel embarrassed. Ashley and Brittaney Star did not realize how much I know about working with kids.</p>
<p><strong>Do you carry resentment for Ashley today?</strong></p>
<p>No. I’m very forgiving. You know me. I’m a peacemaker.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have resentment for anybody? So Hood? Ki Ki?</strong></p>
<p>No, I don’t have resentment for nobody. I feel like if you hold a grudge, then you’re not happy. And I want to be happy. A lot of people think I’m stupid for being too nice, but I think in the end, by being this way, it can cause peace. It equals positive and not negative.</p>
<p><strong>I think the emotional high point of the series was when you admitted that you were molested when you were younger. What was that like for you? Did you have any reservations talking about that on camera?</strong></p>
<p>I already opened up about that with the therapist, so in a way, it wasn’t so&#8230;it wasn&#8217;t like a new shock for me. The first time I admitted it was when I was 14. When I did then, I was crying, I felt guilty, I didn’t want to leave my house. And right now – how old am I? 23? So, saying it on the show was a lot easier for me, even though it was difficult. It still is difficult, but I want to make it to the point where it’s not difficult, so I can help others who dealt with that crap.</p>
<p><strong>Was that part of your motivation?</strong></p>
<p>Yes. Part of my motivation to tell people out there is: “Look. This happened to me. Don’t be ashamed if it happened to you, too. I still have my head up. You can have your head up, too.” That was my message.</p>
<p><strong>Were you surprised how many of the other girls could relate?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. I was thinking maybe half or a quarter of the girls went through what I went through. It was like almost the whole room went through what I went through.</p>
<p><strong>What did you think about people saying after that, “Oh, now I understand why Bubbles is the way she is&#8221;?</strong></p>
<p>That got to me. It&#8217;s like, “Why did they say that?” They haven’t sat down and talked to me, and now they understand me? No, you don’t. I am positive, but not because that happened to me. Let me tell you something: your past does cause you to think the way you think, and it causes you to have a certain perspective, but you have the power to change your perspective on life. That’s what I did. So I don’t know what they’re talking about saying they understand me now, because of what happened.</p>
<p><strong>I never expected VH1 to go there in terms of raw emotion.</strong></p>
<p>When they told me “You don&#8217;t really need to be here,” I said, “My fault doesn’t harm other people, but it&#8217;s still a fault, so I deserve to be here.” I think by not taking a stand, and not feeling like you have control of yourself, and not feeling like you’re worthy enough to speak up, that’s a real fault. That’s a really difficult thing to face, and to deal with and to improve. So I feel like I definitely deserved to be there, and I wanted to show them that. And I wanted to show them that the reason I had that fault was one of my past experiences, and one of my past experiences that affected me really badly was being molested.</p>
<p><strong>What did you think about your elimination? It just seems weird, because it happens every season, where a girl&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;that deserves to stay, goes?!</p>
<p><strong>I mean, it seems like you can do too well in <em>Charm School</em>, and that’s weird. In <em>school </em>school, you can never do too well. </strong></p>
<p>I feel like everyone thinks you need to be in <em>Charm School</em> because you’re harmful to others and you’re mean, and whatever. But what about people that are opposite? And I was one of those people. But coming out of there, I feel that I grew so much. I feel like I really did deserve to get to the end. I learned in life that I actually do deserve a lot. I realize I haven’t given myself a lot of self-worth in my life, and I learned to give myself more self-worth in <em>Charm School</em>. I think that’s a very valuable thing to learn and that’s a big part of growth.<br />
<strong><br />
So then, what they said was true – at that point, you had gotten out of it all that you were going to, and you were going to coast through the last two episodes, more or less. Right?</strong></p>
<p>Yes and no. What you know is one thing, but what you know and <em>apply </em>is another. And this is more difficult to accomplish. Anyway, it was the eighth episode of 10 episodes, so you’re supposed to be almost there, and I was almost there. I feel like a lot of the girls that left after me – and I don’t mean to criticize – but they had more faults than me. At least I knew what I had to deal with, and what was wrong with me. Some of these girls didn’t even know what was wrong with them, and why they had these faults. Like when we did the art activity, Risky said, “I don’t know why Bubbles said that I had pain inside, when I have an attitude problem.” Don’t you think that maybe you have an attitude problem <em>because </em>you have some pain inside?</p>
<p><strong>You&#8217;re the only one who was cool with having an eliminated girl come back.</strong></p>
<p>Yes, and everybody made it clear that I was the only one and I’m crazy. They were like, “Bubbles is forgetting that we’re trying to win $100,000.” But me, I’m a type of person, I feel like money is not the most valuable thing. I feel like growing is more important than money.</p>
<p><strong>So then you got everything that you wanted out of <em>Charm School</em>, right?</strong></p>
<p>No, I feel like I still need money. I feel like I still do need money, and I’m still trying to improve myself and figure out how to be this complete person. But then again, I have to think, nobody can ever be perfect or feel perfect.</p>
<p><strong>What about your cloud pajamas? Any thoughts on those?</strong></p>
<p>Oh my god, I love my cloud pajamas. Like what can I say bad about them?</p>
<p><strong>Why did you bring the ladybug costume?</strong></p>
<p>I wanted to wear it, but I ended up never wearing it. Marcia wore it, and I was like, “I can’t wear it after Marcia wore it.” I let her have her spotlight with my ladybug Halloween costume.</p>
<p><strong>Are you glad that you did the show? It seems like you got more out of it than most people get out of reality shows.</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, I feel like I got something out of it. Not only that, but I feel like other people can look at my process of trying to be a complete person, a powerful person, and be inspired and be like, “Wow. I still have a chance to feel like that. And I <em>can </em>feel like that.” And sometimes people don’t even know what’s wrong with them, and if they can see other people that have certain faults and problems, they can be like, “Yeah, I have that fault! I have that problem! Yeah, that’s what I need to fix. She’s fixing it. I shouldn’t be ashamed to fix my fault.”</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a no-brainer (in more ways than one): take this week&#8217;s <em>Charm School </em>cast-off Bubbles, put her in a room with <em>I Love Money 2 </em>alum It, and watch what happens. Since this has not yet occurred on air, we made it happen online. Above and below, Bubbles and It talk about their time on reality TV, people&#8217;s perceptions of them (It thinks people wanted to see them together because they both act &#8220;retarded&#8221;; Bubbles disagrees), and being part of the VH1 family. But mostly, they bicker something fierce. It was awesome to witness firsthand, and it&#8217;s just awesome to watch it back. Enjoy &#8212; we still are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81444" title="BretMichaels" src="http://www.thefablife.com/files/2009/07/bretmichaels.jpg" alt="BretMichaels" width="550" height="500" /></p>
<p>We&#8217;re going to go out on a limb and suggest a theory that seems to get stronger by the day: <strong>Bret Michaels </strong>is cursed. When news broke this weekend that his tour bus was involved in an accident on a Canadian highway on July 4, we added that to the list of Very Bad Things that have happened to Michaels over the past year. According to <a href="http://www.bretmichaels.com/2009/news_files/news.shtml" target="_blank">a writeup on Michaels&#8217; website</a>, this accident was caused when &#8220;a car lost control and slid into the side of Mr. Michaels&#8217;s tour bus causing a five car pile-up on the roadway.&#8221;</p>
<p>In October, 2008, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2008/09/30/bret-puts-brakes-on-rock-after-deadly-crash/" target="_blank">Michaels halted production</a> of <em>Rock of Love Bus</em> after a crew member was involved in a deadly car accident. Dennis Hernandez, a truck driver for the show, was on his way to a taping when his vehicle crossed the median strip of a highway in Illinois after he fell asleep at the wheel. Two oncoming cars were hit and two teenagers were killed.</p>
<p>On June 7th this year, Michaels collided with a piece of descending scenery at the Tony Awards and sustained some pretty rough facial injuries including <a href="http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/06/bret-michaels-tonys.html" target="_blank">a broken nose</a>.</p>
<p>Lets hope that Michaels&#8217; bad luck has come to an end - maybe the rule of threes will apply and from here on out he will have a drama-free existence. Unless he insists on doing more reality TV. Might we suggest Rock of Love: How About We Take It Easy And Stay Inside as a title?  [Photo: GettyImages]</p>
