VH1’s premier ladies man (or…whatever) Flavor Flav is aiming to go back to school and reality TV in one fell swoop. He’s teamed up with producer Eric Ortner and, according to Access Hollywood, Ish Entertainment (the production company responsible for My Antonio and Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, but not Flavor of Love — that was 51 Minds) to shop a new unscripted series that will find him pursuing his high school diploma. (Flav says he dropped out of school in 10th grade.) “I just want to show the world it’s never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you’re old to get it,” he says. “Everybody sees me as this big love mogul. Now I got a baby girl, I’ve been there and done that and now it’s time for the next episode.”

Does everyone see him as a big love mogul? I see him more as a philosopher/hype man. And he seems to see himself as a pioneer. He went on to talk about his impact on reality TV: “I’ve been known to be a leader and I’ve had a lot of followers and there’s a certain franchise I’ve set up on VH1. This show can be big enough to change the direction of reality shows.”

Also of note, he commented on the Ryan Jenkins tragedy. (Admit it: you’ve been waiting for Flavor Flav’s take on this whole thing.)  He says it broke his heart and added, “It’s really messed up, love can make you and love can break you. This guy definitely couldn’t handle it.” So he’s a social commentator with a heart of gold, too, I guess.

No word on when the series (whose working title is, cleverly, Flavor Flav Goes Back to High School) will begin airing or on what network. [The Hollywood Reporter via Videogum]

Last week, Movieline posted a list of “the six most egregious reality-stars-turned-singers,” and while it included two VH1-rooted personalities (Brooke Hogan and Celebrity Rehab’s Jeff Conway), not one member of the …Of Love universe popped up. For shame! The aspiring singers and rappers have provided some of the best musical entertainment VH1 has offered since…well, since VH1 regularly played music. (Just kidding! We still do! Sometimes!) Six of our favorites are below starting with…

Lacey Conner (Rock of Love) “This Thing Called Love”

Within minutes of the first episode of Rock of Love, Lacey jumped behind a drum kit and commenced annoying her fellow Bret-lovers with her infernal racket. But not even that could have prepared us for this synth-pop ditty and its curiously…curious video (directed by Lacey’s dad, Otis). Lacey’s played with industrial mega-band Pigface, which is kinda a big deal. The fact that this video has almost 10 times as many YouTube views as Pigface’s most popular video makes Lacey kinda a bigger deal…I guess?

On the eve of Michael Jackson’s death, self-proclaimed “family member” Flavor Flav decided to make an unannounced visit to the Jackson home. After holding an impromptu press conference in which he paid his respects to Michael, saying, “God needed an extra angel, so he came and got Michael to work for him,” Flav rang the doorbell, but was not let in.

“Tell mother Jackson I’ll be back later this evening,” Flav said. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Who’s kidding who? Our celebreality series has had a had some wild parental moments. Moms do things one way (hello Sister Patterson!) and dads do things another. Since Father’s Day is this Sunday, we figured that a playlist of some pop/kid interactions  would be appropriate. We got Luke, Hulk, Danny, Scott, Flav, and others waiting for you in this Celebration of VH1’s Most Awesome Dads.

WATCH THE ENTIRE PLAYLIST

Earlier this year, Flavor Flav put the kibosh on any further seasons of his career-redefining reality show Flavor of Love. Backstage at rehearsals for this year’s Hip Hop Honors, we asked his Public Enemy partner and occasional critic of the show, Chuck D., what he thought about the demise of Flavor of Love. He plays both diplomat and realist in response.

Be sure to stay turned for a cameo from legend Fab Five Freddy.

Check out some shots of Public Enemy rehearsing for Hip Hop Honors below:

Watch Hip Hop Honors 2008 on VH1 on Monday, October 6, 10 pm ET.

This week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly concerns all things reality, and includes a section of interviews with past reality-TV contestants. The only VH1personality to pop up is Flavor of Love 3’s Ice, who reflects on the opportunism that she was never less than upfront about (to the point that it led to her elimination):

“Who the hell could fall in love with Flavor Flav? He went to kiss me, and I was very hesitant. I did not want that to happen at all. But you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. I wouldn’t have had sex with him, but I would have probably made out with him. We lived the good life out there. That’s why I cried at the end. Everyone’s like, ‘You didn’t even like him!’ I’m like, ‘I’m leaving a pretty mansion in California! I’m not going to be pampered anymore!’ That’s why I was crying, man.”

Well, at least she got something out of it. [Entertainment Weekly]

From Lily Allen to Naomi Campbell, there’s been a rash of public bouts of drunkenness this summer. But if you watch all 10 video clips above, you’ll discover that nobody gets drunk like a celebreality celebrity.

Myammee’s interview in King has finally emerged, and the kicked-off cutie lashes out at the man who dumped her because “he was scared for his little life.” Zing! It’s short and sweet, and we’ve got highlights below.

• On being kicked off the show: “Flav kicked me off over some bull. He was scared of the dude who called up saying I owe him a stack and [that] he’s gonna blow up the house. It wasn’t because [Flav] wasn’t feeling me; he was scared for his little life and everybody else’s.”

• On the money drama from the show and how she earns her dough: “I don’t owe nobody nothing… A thousand dollars is nothing. I make that in two days working at Hooters. I’m probably making more money at Hooters than the strippers—not the big booty ones.”

For more of Myammee mouthing off, check out her chat with King HERE.
