On last week’s Confessions of a Teen Idol you saw Jeremy Jackson whooping it up while driving down the Sunset Strip with his other Idol buds. It was a return to the old days, when the young actor had a big chunk of star power thanks to his work as Hobie on Baywatch, the most-watched show television ever coughed up. These days the 31-year-old is trying to reclaim a bit of that visibility. He recently texted us from L.A. and the chat veered from his favorite time of day to have sex to how he feels after cutting off his trademark long hair.

Our ongoing VH1 Mobile Txtrview series is all about exclusive exchanges with VH1 characters. Hit the site for the entire exchange.

Thanks for texting us, Jeremy. What’s your ringtone?

JJ: I like to keep it classic with a factory standard ringer. I’m a big BB (blackberry) fan, so a simple old-school phone “ring ring” will do for me.

But you keep up with music, though. Right?

JJ: Yes, of course. Love music. House, electro, rock, hip-hop.

People on the street ever call you Hobe?

JJ: Aaaaaw gaaaaaaawd YES. Maybe every day at least one person will drop the H Bomb. Haha.

What was the best episode of Baywatch?

JJ: Define best.

The one that makes you laff the most.

JJ: Hmmm…There were a TON of pretty dang cheesy episodes. One where Mitch had to tunnel under the sand to save a hostage…one where I had to wrestle a giant eel…one where we got stuck in an ice cave made of Styrofoam. So there was plenty to laugh at. But there a few touching and inspirational episodes in there, too.

Ever hang with any of your bwatch buds?

JJ: I do, actually…I just got back from Vegas with the Hoff…

This week our former teen idols take a tour of their past lives, and find out that embracing fame is crucial if they hope to revive their Hollywood careers.

Adrian probably speaks for all the guys when he says he says being in the house feels like a dream.

Jeremy is the first to snatch up the call sheet from the fax machine again. Must be his youthful enthusiasm. The guys have to be at the main gate in a half hour. Read the rest of this entry »

This week our former Teen Idols learn that the truth definitely hurts, but it can also help you get back on the road to fame.

For Bill, the first week in the house has been a disorienting experience. There’s been a lot happening, and fast. The call sheet comes in; they’re to attend a mandatory focus group at a professional facility that day.

Bill orchestrated and ran focus groups as his day job for 15 years. Jamie, on the other hand, has no clue what a focus group is. Eric thinks they’ll sit on a stage, where an audience will ask questions, then “determine if we’re crazy.” If only. Read the rest of this entry »
