Here’s a blast from the past that feels so good: one of the best Celebreality stars in VH1 history, Flavor of Love/Charm School alum Schatar “Hottie” Sapphira recently appeared on GSN’s hilariously cynical dating show Baggage. One piece of personal baggage she revealed was that she spoon-feeds her dogs at restaurants. Apparently, sometimes they feed back — in the clip above, Schatar calls out her dog Cash, feeds him with a spoon and he throws up all over the place. (Host Jerry Springer gamely picks up the puke — a notable point in itself.) This is not unlike Valerie Cherish’s Jay Leno moment — more classic TV from a classic personality.
Yesterday, we shared the first part of Saaphyri’s first interview after spending the past 22 months in jail for forgery. While that half focused on her case and arrest, the second half below discusses Saaphyri’s experience in prison in at times graphic and almost always hilarious detail. Prison lesbianism, the food trade, bathroom woes and hanging out with murderers (including a Manson girl) are among the topics discussed. Saaphyri also lets us know what she’s up to now, making it clear that her spirit is indefatigable. Where there’s a will, there is a way…and a weave.
When Becky Buckwild tweeted last week that her fellow Flavor of Love 2/Charm School/I Love Money 2 star Saaphyri Windsor was set to be released from prison after spending 22 months in the California Institution for Women, we knew we had to talk to her about her time in the clink. Saaphyri graciously granted our request, and below is the first of two parts of our chat with Saaphyri about her arrest and time in jail. With the only thorough report on her arrest coming from Media Takeout, there’s been considerable confusion surrounding her case. Below, Saaphyri clarifies about her actual arrest (she was picked up while trying to reenter the country after filming I Love Money 2) and the reason for it (she denies the reported accusation of identity theft). She also talks about the elevated status that reality fame buys you in prison…
Tonight’s episode of VH1′s brief weekly countdown show The Short List (premiering at 9/8c) focuses on a subject near and dear to our hearts: meltdowns on reality TV. Although some highlights from VH1 make the cut, of course, the scope of the countdown covers the whole of reality TV. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to round up the 10 greatest VH1-only meltdowns that didn’t make the countdown. Come, take a trip with us down memory emotional-instability lane…
Her acceptance speech may have been self-congratulatory, but it was still hard not to feel elated for Mo’Nique and her (in my opinion deserved) Oscar win for Precious. You’ve come a long way from screaming at girls who once competed for Flavor Flav’s love, Mo! Watching this clip from the first Charm School reunion reminds us how much hard time Mo’Nique put in before ascending to the status of respected actress. What a fascinating career path this woman has had. Her way to entertaining is entertaining in itself. I can’t wait to see where else this life takes her.
If you blinked during Nikki McKibbin’s pre-rehab party package during this week’s premiere of the second Celebrity Rehab season, you missed cameos from some VH1 Celebreality staples…
It’s Heather from Rock of Love, I Love Money and currently Rock of Love Charm School, as well as Flavor of Love/Charm School alum Saaphyri. Heather told us that she just happened to be out partying when Nikki came by with her crew. Weird! If nothing else, this proves that spin-off possibilities and personality cross-streaming potential is unending.

Bootz is pregnant! She told the world this via her MySpace in all caps. You know homegirl never stops yelling, even when she’s filled with pregnant joy. The Flavor of Love 2/Charm School alum has this to say regarding her forthcoming arrival:

15. Heather – Rock of Love
She may be known for her big boobs, massive hair, and getting a neck tattoo bearing Bret’s name, but the sexiest thing about this former exotic dancer is her attitude. It’s one thing to look good – but to act tough at the same time? She scares us and turns us on simultaneously! Think her Rock of Love rival Daisy would say the same thing?
Surely you remember Shay – the Flavorette formerly known as Buckeey who was the bad girl turned good on Charm School. Maybe these sexy pics will help jog your memory, eh? Shay’s rocking a string bikini – and not much else – in this month’s issue of Smooth, and dishes on her hero Kimora Lee Simmons and what her man’s gotta do to stick around. Want more? She’s working on some TV projects, can be heard on the radio in Atlanta, and has her own line of weaves comin’ out, natch. [via Bossip]
Flavor of Love 2 alum, Charm School winner and our friend Saaphyri has unleashed her latest bound-to-be viral video to promote her Lip Chap line of lip balm. Above, watch the video for “Lip Chap Anthem,” a take-off of Lil Mama’s “Lipgloss” that features rapping from none other than Saaphyri. This one isn’t as provocative as the last, so perhaps it’s aimed at a wider audience. Always thinking business, that’s Saaphyri!
As always, you can pick up Lip Chap of your very own at Saaphyri.com.
