In what is surely the greatest combination of flavors since you got YOUR chocolate in MY peanut butter, two of your favorite Celebreality superstars just made some sweet music together. Literally.
TMZ reports that Flavor of Love star Flavor Flav joined Rock of Love star Bret Michaels on-stage in Dubuque, Iowa (of all the places!), for a killer version of Public Enemy’s 1990 Top 40 smash, “911 Is A Joke.” As you’ll see from the (admittedly crappy*) video above, Flav started the jawn off a capella style, but then Bret and his band joined in with some ferocious instrumental backing, at which point everyone in the audience got up and then got, got down.
What do you guys think? Should Flav and Bret go out on tour together? Or should they stick to romancin’ the ladies?
We’ve got a few court-related updates to share with you about some members of the extended VH1 family. As you may recall, Celebrity Rehab 4 star Jason Davis was arrested back in January for heroin possession some 24 hours after appearing on the CR4 reunion show. Well, Davis appeared in an Orange County courtroom earlier today and plead not guilty to felony heroin possession charges, as well as to two other minor drug charges. A trial date has not been set yet, but if convicted, Davis could serve up to three years behind bars.
Meanwhile, Rock Of Love 2 star Megan Hauserman was finally asked to enter her plea in a Miami courtroom today in connection to her April 2010 arrest on DUI charges. Rather than press her luck with the judge, TMZ reports that Hauserman struck a plea deal with prosecutors that will allow her to avoid jail time in exchange for six months of probation, 100 hours of community service, a suspended driver’s license and a $1,000 fine.
I’ll just be up front about it: I love Rock of Love girls so much that I’d be willing to open a retirement home for them (if I ever find myself with an excess of cash). It would be an investment in self-perpetuating entertainment. In the meantime, getting to see them on VH1 again via Rock of Love Girls: Where Are They Now was a little slice of satisfaction in itself. Since I’ll never, under any circumstances pass up the opportunity to talk to a Rock of Love girl, I figured I’d take advantage of this opportunity and get a few of them on the phone to help flesh out their on-air updates.
Below, Angelique, Brandi C., Megan, Heather, Rodeo, Marcia, Farrah, Ashley and Brittaney Starr (who wasn’t featured on the special, but contributed to this piece, anyway) talk about daunting transition from reality TV to actual reality. They give their thoughts on Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It, share whether they’ve found happiness and reveal what they’re doing to feed themselves. Who’s bartending? Who’s back at the strip club? The answers may surprise you, but then again since it is Rock of Love girls we’re talking about, maybe not.
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…
Antonio Sabato Jr., revealed that his head is shaped just as perfectly as his abs when he sported a freshly shorn dome at the Fox Reality Channel’s Really Awards on Tuesday in Los Angeles (the show is set to premiere Saturday at 10/9c). The VH1 set attended in droves — what other event gives them the opportunity to be rewarded by their on-air behavior? Check the gallery below for red-carpet shots of attendees Megan Hauserman, Daisy De La Hoya, Rock of Love Bus‘ Ashley and Farrah, I Want To Work for Diddy’s Poprah, Glam God‘s Vivica A. Fox, Rock of Love 2‘s Aubry and Adrianne Curry.
Posted above is an extended interview from the taping of Bret Michaels‘ Behind the Music (premiering Thursday at 9/8c). In it, he talks about his time on Rock of Love – why he initially passed when offered the show, how his dynamic with the girls turned out to be way different from what he expected, and what the show taught him about “traditional” dating. A big chunk of the episode is devoted to Rock of Love (including interviews with key people from the show’s past), so don’t miss it when it premieres Thursday. In the meantime, you can check out even more clips from Bret’s BTM interview sessions, in which he covers topics like his upcoming autobiography, Poison’s early days of getting paid not to play and his “love hate relationship of Biblical proportions” with C.C. DeVille.
Remember how when Megan was booted from Rock of Love 2, she just stood there and stood there and stood there and Heather looked at her like, “Why are you just standing there?” And then she stood some more? Yeah. Well, that scene (relive the magic here) scored her a trophy at last night’s Fox Reality Channel Really Awards for Favorite Awkward Moment. The awards won’t broadcast till Oct. 11, but Megan gave us the inside scoop on what to expect:
“I don’t know if anyone else won. I know Whiteboy lost. Brandi C., and Mary Carey came up to accept with me. It was the first award of the night, I said, “It didn’t happen like that, it was editing, but f*** it, thanks for the first award.” Then Brandi said thanks to Mark [Cronin] and Cris [Abrego] and VH1. They opened the show with me so that gave me pride. Then we all celebrated with several cocktails.”
And clearly, they weren’t the only ones. Check out shots of VH1 staples like Heather, Chance, Real, Danny Bonaduce, Daisy De La Hoya, Hottie, Smiley, Saaphyri, Buckwild, Chyna, Poprah and others in the gallery below:
Once again, the lovable, English-mangling Rock of Love 2 contestant Angelique (aka Frenchie) is taking it all off, but probably for the first time, it’s in the name of art. Frenchie has a cameo in Stripped, an upcoming documentary chronicling the making-of photographer Greg Friedler‘s new book, Naked Las Vegas. High art: ooh la la!
The film’s trailer can be viewed at the official Stripped site, but consider this your warning that it’s packed with full-frontal nudity and unconventional beauty that some may find…well, disturbing. Seriously, Frenchie is, like, the most normal person we see with her clothes off and you know that’s really saying something.
Below, you can check out a censored version of Friedler’s before-and-after shot of the reality cum porn star.
Rock Of Love 2‘s Daisy De La Hoya claims she’s “just friends” with Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, but, according to E!, their friendship might have some hardcore benefits.
Earlier this week, TMZ posted footage from the Rock of Love Bus auditions that were recently held in New York’s otherwise supposedly classy section of the Hamptons. What ensued was pretty much what you’d expect: discourse on boobs, bandannas and Bret. When one girl looks blearily into the camera and says, “I’m not the perfect girl. I’m an alcoholic,” she is soooo speaking our language.
