Reality Roll Call

Rock of Love 2 contestant Angelique Morgan - aka Frenchy, is at the center of a major phone sex scandal involving a fan that caught her eye during a promotional interview while in the Big Apple. According to VH1’s Scandal List, Frenchy obtained the would-be boy-toy’s phone number and immediately called him to set up a midday tryst in a Manhattan hotel room. The call was inadvertently recorded and released to the media resulting in the star of October’s Charm School being called into the VH1 head office for a good tongue lashing.(But not the kind of tongue-lashing you’re thinking of).

As it turns out, Frenchy gave the producers of the show the impression she was headed to an interview but instead was rendezvousing with the lucky fan for a midday romp. The final decision on Frenchy’s star turn on Charm School has not been determined by VH1 honchos as of yet.

Who knew that all of these VH1 dating shows would have such spin off appeal? It seems like every time I turn around the contestants are showing up on some other show. There use to be a time where once your show ended you weren’t seen again until the reuninion, but not any more, the people make sure to keep busy.

This Thursday, September 25th the Flavor of Love girls will be face the Rock of Love girls on FOX’s new hit game show “Hole In the Wall.”

(Press Release)

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 16 — Rock star Bret Michaels tried twice to find love by filling a mansion with gorgeous women and having them compete for his heart. But after the final pass was handed out and the cameras stopped rolling, Bret’s picks didn’t work out. He and season two winner, Ambre Lake, really tried to make it work and although they still remain close friends, between his tour line-up and her work schedule there’s no time for a relationship.

“Bret has been very upfront and honest about how difficult maintaining a normal relationship may be for a touring rock star. He’s right, it’s absolutely an insane lifestyle and neither of us had the time to make it work,” stated Lake.

Now Bret is taking another stab at finding his perfect match in the ultimate rock and roller’s test … life on the road! “Rock of Love Bus with Bret Michaels” is set to premiere in early 2009.

Here’s a preview of VH1’s summer reality show, I Love Money, which features a lot of the folks who have amused us on Rock of Love, Flavor of Love and I Love New York. Although there are a few hook-ups, the goal is to be the last man or woman standing at the end of the series, and get paid for all your hard work and scandalous behavior.

Here’s rocker and Rock of Love star Bret Michaels’ new video for his latest release, Raine, about his daughter. You’ll get to see Bret all dolled up and prog-rock metrosexual, with his extensions blowing in the wind, and his eyeliner applied so perfectly it’s disturbing. But just so you don’t confuse him with a lady, he’s got a beard. It’s almost as if he’s afraid to be as pretty as he secretly wants to be.

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.

Reality show Rock of Love star, and Poison frontman Bret Michaels was named in a lawsuit that charges him and producers Mindless Entertainment with causing almost $400,000 of damage to the house used to film the VH1 show.

The newly constructed house used to film the dating competition show belongs to Ray Sahranavard, who permitted them to use the house for two months, with the agreement that nothing Mindless did during the filming would “cause any type of damage or any integral change to the plaintiff’s.” But apparently, Bret and the girls skanked up the joint to the tune of $378,269. Not only that, but Sahranavard’s lawyers allege that he was led to believe that they had an insurance policy to cover the damages, which was not true.
