The former teen idols are packing their bags. Which men will go on to become stars again? And which ones will fade away forever?

In the wake of some harsh criticism from a group of show business executives the prior day, Jeremy’s still in a tailspin. Will strenuous exercise be the key to figuring out where he fits in to the Hollywood scene?

He resolves to be more chill and more “plain.” Chris tries to convince him the guys only have his best interests at heart. [click to continue…]

So Eric is gone. In his absence, Jeremy contemplates going off his cleansing fast. The guys retire Eric’s portrait from the wall and pay tribute to him by building a shrine.

The fax announcing their next challenge comes in. They will be pitching themselves to a panel of Hollywood “gatekeepers” who will then critique them behind two-way glass. The last time the guys gathered behind two-way glass it wasn’t good. Maybe this time will be different.

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. [click to continue…]
