I Love New York 2/I Love Money 2 star George “Tailor Made” Weisgerber has a funny post up at Asylum that details two self-imposed weeks without excessive grooming. He went from “weekly MANicures (buffed, not polished); biweekly haircuts, pedicures and mini-facials; and monthly chest, eyebrow and underarm waxing” to just “generic brands of soap, antiperspirant and toothpaste,” and lived to tell about it. Can you imagine: life without the necessities? This is Walden all over again.

Best of all, of course, is the pictorial evidence of his breakdown in hygiene (I won’t spoil it for you by posting it, but it’s in the post). He says he looks like a hobo, but I think he’s more on the 15-year-old-who-hasn’t-yet-been-introduced-to-razors tip. [Asylum]

Ask your average schlub what VH1′s most celebrated body part is, and he’d tell you “boobs,” thanks to the sea of silicone this network has sailed on for the past three or so years. But times are changing! Repeatedly, VH1′s reality programming has shown love for feet (and the men who love them), boldly venturing into an area of kink that few networks would. (In fact, the only bit of resistance to feet in recent memory was Flavor Flav’s break down over Grayvee’s offering of pigs’ feet on Flavor of Love 3. And Flav is…you know, Flav.) With this week’s premiere of Let’s Talk About Pep featuring toes that “taste like meatloaf,” we thought it was time to collect the instances of foot worship that have helped give this network a leg up on its peers:

Yesterday, we received an email that was bizarre both for its content and syntax (it included a lot of arbitrary spacing, as in: “Siste r Patte rson is looki ng for talen ted peopl e that can sing , dance and play all types of music”). Did you get that, by the way? New York’s mom wants to start a band for no apparent reason! Just a whim! And you know how whimsical this woman can be! Below is the full text of the email with the spacing fixed (but nothing else so you can really soak up its essence):

Hello World, Sister Patterson is looking for talented people that can sing , dance and play all types of musical instruments to be a part of her new vocal group. You must be willing to travel, and be very flexible with scheduling. Legal to work in any situation. Pass a back round check. If you are addicted to any kind of drugs, alcohol and or medication please don’ t bother. This will be Sister Patterson’s group! and if you can’ t take her being the leader stay home! We are not sure when this group will start but please stay ready. Do not call or write Sister Patterson about how talented you are, or who you have song with in the past. You must be able to come to all rehearsals even if this means moving from your home town. please send a video to Sister Patterson’ s myspace page. She would love to see if you have what it takes to be a part of her new singing group, please include all of your home info and phone number on the video.

God Bless.

Even if nothing comes of this band, and even if this email is a total hoax, it’s seriously the most entertaining thing we’ve seen this week. That alone makes it all worth it.

You may or may not know that Ezra “Buddha” Masters, the man who was a Tailor Made away from winning New York’s heart on I Love New York 2, occasionally appears on the erotic cable series Zane’s Sex Chronicles. In the clip below, our boy keeps the skin in Skinemax, baring his butt in a sex scene at around the 2:27 mark. This video seems to have been recorded off TV via camcorder, but it is clear nonetheless. That is to say his full moon shines bright, so this NSFW…unless you happen to work in an underwear factory.

Note, that video’s been deleted, but you can catch Buddha’s Zane reel below. No more butt, though. :(

It shouldn’t surprise you at all that VH1′s eternal H.B.I.C., New York, has less-than-kind things to say about former I Love New York 2 contestant Punk‘s engagement to the gay-icon-in-the-making diva Jennifer Hudson. But what may surprise you is why she’s wary about the pairing — it basically boils down to her suspicion that Jennifer is Punk’s personal gay icon. She recently told In Touch:

“He’s really loving being Mr. Jennifer Hudson. I think he’s loving the lavish things she brings to his life, he’s seeing the world due to Jennifer’s success. [But] can you love this person if they lose all of this tomorrow? She needs to find out. I just hope people are marrying each other for the right reasons…It’s a mixed match, it won’t work. He’ll be in her shadow like Al Reynolds was to Star Jones, like Stedman Graham is to Oprah…When we were in Miami together, he didn’t even try anything [on me]! Maybe I wasn’t his type, maybe I wasn’t big enough for him.”

The true test, of course, will be Punk’s response to this, if any. If it’s catty, New York really might be onto something. [Defamer]

Last week, we presented New York on the record talking about her breakup with I Love New York 2 winner Tailor Made. Tailor Made, in turn, has spoken out with his perception of what went wrong. As he told SOHH.com:

“We’re just very different people. The same things that I’m very attracted to in her are the same things that made a relationship with her difficult. She’s very emotionally volatile, very passionate, which is great but at the same time that can present a challenge in a relationship. We’re good friends. She’s definitely a sweetheart but I just think we weren’t very compatible. I still wish her the best and I think she’s going to be very successful with her acting career.”

So there you have it: irreconcilable differences. That’s it? For something involving New York, this seems decidedly non-dramatic. It’s almost a let-down. We’ll get to watch their breakup play out this season on New York Goes to Hollywood. Fingers crossed for broken dishes! [SOHH.com]
