Welcome to
Super Skank Wednesday. This is where I celebrate the awesomely skanky people on the following shows:
I Love Money,
Charm School,
New York Goes to Hollywood, and
The Surreal Life. Basically, I'll discuss the skankalicious shows that make
VH1 the network it is today.
Today, we'll pay homage the star of
I Love Money: Mr. Boston. Who knew this awkward guy from Bean Town would have hotties like Megan Hausermann saying "He's growing on me" and tough guys like White Boy wrapped around his finger.

Okay, guys, you may want to sit down. I've got some bad news. There really is no good way to say this, so I'll just come out with it: Another couple who found "love" on a reality dating show has broken up.
I know, I know. It's simply unbelievable. This time, the unlucky duo is
Bret Michaels and
Ambre Lake, from
Rock of Love 2. How could it not have lasted forever? There was a
mud pit involved, for Pete's sake.
Luckily, Michaels and VH1 aren't letting this little setback stop them from trying again for love and sweet, sweet, ratings.
VH1 has just announced that there will be a Rock of Love 3 -- with a twist.
Rock of Love Bus is set to premiere on the music channel in early 2009.
For more information about
Rock of Love Bus and why Bret and Ambre called it quits, follow me after the jump.

VH1 is calling this t
he best interview ever; Flavor Flav of the network's hit franchise
Flavor of Love talked to
Complex Magazine.And you won't believe what he said. Here's what you
never wanted to know about the rapper-turned-reality-superstar:
1. He made another kid eat dog poop. It was revenge for the kid making Flav eat his own booger.
2. His favorite possession is a Coo-Coo clock from Switzerland. It has a little Flav that comes out and screams "Yeah Boy!" when the big hand strikes three.

What do you do if you're dad is a wrestling icon, your mom is a cougar dating a man the same age as you, and
your little brother is in jail for reckless driving? You get
your own reality show, of course. And who's reality is more messed up than Brooke Hogan's right now? She's surprisingly the most normal of that bunch.
Her new show,
Brooke Knows Best, premieres this Sunday July 13th at 10 p.m. ET / PT. That's right after
I Love Money!
I've got a sneak peek at the first episode after the jump...

Hopefully, the hip-hop mogul will get one on VH1's
I Want To Work for Diddy premiering this summer. Apparently, Diddy's staff is not doing their jobs. He was almost
snubbed from his own party this weekend. He hosted a bash at Lily Pond in the Hamptons and almost didn't get in because the club was at capacity with over 1,000 people ready to get drunk and crunk with the rapper.
The artist-formerly-known-as-Puffy was denied his grand entrance (a three car procession of Cadillac Escalades). The fleet was forced to turn around and the
Making the Band host had to go in the back door. Once he got in the club, the DJ turned off the music for fifteen minutes while the V.I.P. room was readied for his highness. That will show everyone a good time. Don't do the grand entrance. Just turn off the music and make everyone wait so you can get settled.
See, if he only had a good assistant... Hopefully, he'll find what he's looking for on his new
VH1 show.
I Want to Work for Diddy comes out in August.

VH1 diva Tiffany "New York" Pollard is back this summer for another chapter in her celebreality life.
New York Goes to Hollywood premieres in August and will follow your favorite H.B.I.C. as she leaves Tailor-Made behind and tries to make it in Tinsel Town.
To rev up for the new show, VH1 put together a
set of promos that have New York acting as classic Hollywood characters. She plays Dorothy from
Wizard of Oz: "Toto, where the f*ck are we?" She plays Marilyn Monroe in that classic scene where the blonde starlet walks over the sidewalk grate. However, New York uses the breeze from the passing subway car to dry her nails and her nether regions. Whatever works, right? Finally, New York plays Forrest Gump and imparts some wisdom about life and chocolates.
The videos are after the jump. All three are stupid and unfunny. And all three prove the New York's new show is going to be a blast. Check it out and let me know what you think.
New York Goes to Hollywood premieres August 4th at 9 p.m. ET on VH1.

There's been a lull in trashtastic programming lately. I'm stuck watching
So You Think You Can Dance (some of the those Latin ballroom costumes are a little slutty) and
Secret Diary of a Call Girl (scripted skankiness). I long for VH1 to start their summer of skanktacity. We got a little taste last night with the
I Love Money casting special. Check out my review after the jump.

The fifth annual
VH1 Hip-Hop Honors will be taped on October 2nd at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom. The show will premiere on VH1 the following Tuesday, October 7th. The honorees and performers will be named later this summer. Last year's celebration paid tribute to A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg, WHODINI, Missy Elliott, the film
Wild Style and Teddy Riley and Andre Harrell for New Jack Swing with appearances by Mos Def, LL Cool J, Salt-N-Pepa, Ne-Yo, Ciara, Eve, Chris Rock, Busta Rhymes and others.
Of the show, Tom Calderone, Executive Vice President and General Manager for VH1, says, "Our
VH1 Hip Hop Honors has grown into one of the most anticipated events in the hip hop community, drawing legends from back-in-the-day to the hottest stars of the genre today."
But before the network fetes the innovators of hip-hop, VH1 will tape the 3rd annual
Rock Honors on July 12th at the UCLA campus. This year the network is paying tribute to The Who. Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and The Flaming Lips will perform.

Now, that
Nick Hogan is cozied up in a new cell for his prison sentence,
his father might be joining him. VH1's Matthew Muro is reporting that Linda Hogan, the Hulkster's estranged wife, wants to send the former pro-wrestler to jail for not paying his portion of a Las Vegas condo, a property worth 4.2 milion dollars. If Linda gets her wishes, Hulk Hogan would be put in Pinellas County Jail in Florida, the very same jail that holds his son.
VH1 offers the following as reasons why Hulk has not paid his bills: "Is he short on cash? Probably not. Is he planning to hit the slammer intentionally to protect little Nick? No way. Or could it be that he's trying to cut off Linda's cash flow so that she can't lavish any more gifts on her 19-year-old boy toy? Bingo!!"

Judging from the amount of hyperbole being used each day on
The Drudge Report, it appears that the nation
might be sliding into an economic downturn. While a lot of you might be worried about this, I'm completely confident that the current presidential brain-trust will solve the problem and
in no way will it lame-duck its way through the next seven months, leaving the economy's problems for the next poor schlub who gets elected.
So while most of the big media outlets focus on silly, soon-to-be-solved problems like "the economy." I've moved on to bigger and better things. In fact, I believe I have found the number one problem facing the next president and some practical advice on how he might be able to fix it. This is a problem that affects democrats and republicans, the rich and the poor, the old and the young, the black and the white. I'm talking, of course, about...

Miss Rap Supreme,

Notice how I've changed my introduction? I almost added
Living Lohan and
Denise Richards: It's Complicated but I realized that would compromise my integrity. I did, however, watch both of those shows Sunday night. I'll tell you about them and the finale of
Miss Rap Supreme after the jump.
