Barely any time has passed since the dramatic conclusion of the
Flavor of Love: Season Two. Only a few weeks ago, we saw New York angrily make her exit, bits of her weave coming dangerously close to exploding with fury, after she got second place... again. Well, even after losing Flav (seriously, is he
that great of a catch?), she's gained a lot... in the form of a sweet spin-off deal with VH1 to do her own
Bachelorette-style program,
The Flavorette. I can't wait to see what kind of man is crazy enough to vie for her attention. By the way, has anyone figured out if New York is a drama queen extreme or just a really bad actress? She remins me of those theater-folk that try to do TV, but forget to leave their exaggerated gestures at the stage door.
As for Flavor Flav, he is still with his Season Two lady, Deelishis. He has a new album on the way. He is also about to
become a father for the seventh time. Oh yes. That's right. Some small, tiny being will soon be welcomed into this world with a smack on the bottom and an obnoxiously loud "YEAH BOYEE!". Flav hasn't said who the baby momma is, but she's a "shorty in Vegas". Good lord.

Every time I've tuned past Michael Eisner's CNBC show, I've thought the same thing: "As a talk show host, he sure makes a heck of a major studio executive." The former Disney CEO, to put it kindly, didn't conduct the most riveting interviews.
But maybe my opinion of him has changed. According to this
New York Post story, Eisner raked televangelist (and self-proclaimed
strong-legged) Pat Robertson over the coals during a taping of Eisner's show last week. In particular, Eisner took issue with Robertson's views on gay rights, his call to assasinate Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, and his view on whether or not Jewish people go to heaven. Robertson's PR people sent CNBC an e-mail expressing their disappointment with the interview, which was obtained by the
Post.
I'm surprised Eisner didn't challenge Pat to a leg-press-off. But it looks like he made Robertson quite uncomfortable, which is always the sign of a good interview.
