Flavor of Love, quite possibly the trashiest celebrity hook-up show of all time, is still off the air. However, its star Flavor Flav is returning to television in order to
go back to high school.
If Flavor Flav really wanted to get his high school diploma, why does he need cameras on him to do it? Can't he just study and take the G.E.D.? What type of high school will he attend, public or private?
If he went to a public school, he'd be mobbed between every class due to his celebrity. Having him go to a private school might be better and would admittedly be funnier, but somehow I question if he could handle the coursework (of course, he has enough money to pay other people to go to class for him).
Somehow I see Flav being more like one of those students that smokes out back and tries to make it with one of the cheerleaders. After
Flavor of Love, would you want your daughter to go to the same high school as Flav?

Just when you thought everyone you knew, ever, had endured their 15 minutes on some reality show, you've been hoodwinked. It's no longer just the lady in accounts payable who you spotted on
Cheaters or your brother's friend whose family appeared on
Wife Swap. These days, it's low-profile celebs, too, who are seeking a 16th minute, and no longer exclusively via humiliation on VH1.

One of the first announcements to come out of NATPE is that
Flavor Flav will be hosting a television series spin-off of
Nite Tales: the Movie on the BET network. I have never seen the movie, but based on its general marketing and plot synopsis, I would peg it as an African-American version of
The Twilight Zone.
This would make Flavor Flav into Rod Serling. Flav is a scary-looking person (although he doesn't have Rod's ominous demeanor) so perhaps it's a good piece of casting. There have been a few attempts to revive
The Twilight Zone since its inception in the 1950's, including a movie and a couple of television series, and they've meet with less success as time progressed. Having a similar idea with a different name is probably for the best (unless that name is
The Outer Limits).
I wonder if any of the contestants from
Flavor of Love will have cameos?

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.

Lauren Conrad is like the Flavor Flav of MTV. That statement probably needs some explanation. Much like Flav's stardom has spawned spin-off after spin-off (with spin-offs of the spin-offs), LC is shining her light on fellow
Hills cast members. First, I reported that
Whitney Port is getting her own show and now...
The Hills co-star
Brody Jenner is getting his own spin-off called Bromance. The show, brainchild of Ryan Seacrest's company (thanks Seacrest), is a competition where regular guys come to Hollywood for a chance to be in...get this...Brody's entourage. MTV Senior VP of Series Development Liz Gateley says, "Brody is the perfect fit for this concept; he is the type of guy everyone wants to hang out with."
But wait, there's more. In each episode's elimination ceremony, the guys will gather in a hot tub for the news. Furthermore, similar to
Rock of Love and
Flavor of Love, the guys will participate in various competitions (i.e. skydiving and dealing with the paparazzi), go on group dates, and be rewarded with alone time with Brody.

Flavor Flav's search for the right woman will end in Paris next week. Sniffle. Hold on while I wipe the single tear from my eye. After three seasons of
Flavor of Love, VH1 has announced that next Monday's show will be Flav's last chance at finding love... well, his last chance on a reality dating show where VH1 casts a bunch of skanks for him to choose from. I'm already planning a
Super Skank Wednesday tribute to the glorious
Flavor of Love, the show that started it all. (Don't ask me to define what exactly it started. Just know that whatever was started, was started by
Flavor of Love.)
The season and series finale of Flavor of Love will air on Monday, May 19th at 9:00 p.m. ET / PT. In the words of Flav (a man never at loss for something pithy to say), the finale is sure to be "dramatical."
I put a clip from the finale after the jump for you enjoyment.

So I've been licking my wounds since the
Rock of Love 2 reunion. Ambre didn't break up with Bret on the show so we are awaiting the fate of
Rock of Love 3. Don't worry, people. They'll break up. Bret will be back with a new set of skanks and live will start again. In my "Serch" to find a replacement show for
Rock of Love 2, I found
Miss Rap Supreme. It's awesome. I highly recommend it. After the jump, I'll talk about
Miss Rap Supreme and the final three skanks on
Flavor of Love 3.

TV Squad's Fearless Leader,
Keith McDuffee, is in charge of meting out the free screener DVDs he receives from various networks. Sometimes the screeners are awesome -- complete season sets of popular shows or weeks-in-advance pilot episodes of hotly anticipated new series -- and sometimes, well, they are
not awesome.
At some point I made a joke that he seems to send me the worst of our screeners (I keed! I keed!) and Keith's response was to start sending me
every single bad screener offered to TV Squad. I'm talking the kind of programming they're currently showing at Guantanamo Bay.
Well, two can play at this game! I've decided that I'm going to review every horrible show Keith sends me. If I have to be tortured with the likes of
Queen Sized and
The Simple Life Goes to Camp, well then, you guys have to be tortured by reading about it. Sorry, it's only fair. Our first foray into Screener Hell is
Farmer Wants a Wife (Wednesdays 9 PM, starting April 30)...

SSW readers didn't see the shows. Then it's on to the fun part. I call it
"And In This Corner." It's a series of match-ups between
Flavor of Love and
Rock of Love girls past and present.
