Reality Roll Call

R&B singer, Brandy’s brother and Kim Kardashian’s sex tape partner, Ray J will join the ranks of Flavor Flav, and Bret Michaels in his public search for temporary love and a career boost via VH1. His dating show will kick off sometime in 2009, and it should be interesting since he is significantly younger than both Flav and Bret. It should be entertaining to see how he handles the off-the-wall situations that he will certainly find himself in on the show.

According to VH1:

He may be one of the most infamous playboys in hip-hop, but he still hopes to find that special woman he can settle down with … and VH1 is going to help! The “Sexy Can I” singer is getting his own dating show in 2009, and producers are already looking for smart, attractive women over 21 who think they can handle the drama of celebrity life.

Sometime earlier this year Comedy Central did a Roast for Flavor Flav, star of reality show Flavor of Love, and participant in The Surreal Life and Strange Love, and some other totally embarrassing sitcom. Comedian Kat Williams was the host of the roast, and he has been doing a bit recently where he talks about the overt racism and Flav’s take on it.

This video has strong language and liberal use of the N-word, but it is funny. Especially if you saw the roast, which was also funny.

Finally, VH1 has come up with a spinoff of their “love” reality shows that totally throws the, “Are you here for me?” question out the window. This summer the cable network will be launching their new show, “I Love Money.”

Honestly, we all knew that everyone on Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and I Love New York was not there for love. It was always a joke when Flav or New York would suddenly suspect that a contestant was not “there for them”, because everyone was there to boost their careers, or at least get recognized on the street and asked to host parties.

According to Variety.com, former contestants of Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and I Love New York will be competing in a series of reality show competitions, not for fake tv love, but cash prizes. The show has already been filmed, and the casting special is set to air on July 6th, and the series will debut on July 13. Carmelo Anthony’s baby’s mama and VH1 Flavor of Love reunion host, Alani “La La” Vasquez will host the show.

When is New York located on the West Coast? When Tiffany Pollard pursues her career in Hollywood. VH1 has extended Tiffany’s fifteen minutes of reality show fame by following the pursuit of her acting career in a new show called, New York Goes to Hollywood.

The show, which starts filming by the end of the month will show viewers New York as she tries to make the big time as an actress in L.A. However, according to BuddyTV, VH1 is having a bit of trouble casting the drama queen’s manager, and getting celebrities to do cameos. The 10 episode show will cover the span of a month.
