If it were me, if I were the guy (or gal) sitting up in my solid gold throne at MTV tower in charge of programming at sister station VH1, I'd have thrown myself from the roof by now. I mean, I've already given Brooke Hogan her own show, I'm responsible for both
Rock of Love and
Flavor of Love and their bastard progeny
I Love Money (which is really what this channel is all about now).
How can I possibly live with myself? Sure, I also brought the genuinely entertaining
Best Week Ever to fruition, and I keep sub-par comedians in regular work with all my stupid list shows, but haven't I done enough to the world? Isn't it enough that I took a channel named "Video Hits One" and turned it into a circus side show of money-grubbing whores and E-List celebrities trying to recapture what little glory they never really had? Apparently not, because VH1 is going to air a show in which
they follow Antonio Sabato Jr. around while he tries to find true love.

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.
So no
I Love Money on Sunday night? Wha-what? Pshaw! How can I do my awesome picture books without a new episode?
Okay enough complaining. After the jump, I'm going to discuss a show that doesn't exist (yet) in the VH1 skanktastic line-up:
Charm School: The Men of I Love New York. I've got a list of my fantasy cast.

This Wednesday let's do another picture book fairy tale. I'm learning a lot from
I Love Money. How about you? After the jump, I have a piece I call "12 Pack's Destruction, A Tale of Hubris." I'm not a betting woman, but I don't think anyone on
ILM knows what the term "hubris" means.

Today we'll talk about Rodeo who got eliminated from
I Love Money this past Sunday. The name. The guns. The bandanas she customized with a Bedazzler. The barbeque sauce.
I'm sad she got kicked off. She certainly could have used that money for some psychiatric evaluations. Let's talk about her demise after the jump. I'm doing another picture book.

Today I have some life lessons from celebreality. You readers know how grateful I am to VH1 for the many cautionary tales and moral exemplars it has provided me. I'll give you a few things I learned from
I Love Money and
New York Goes to Hollywood after the jump.
(And by the way, I think
I Want To Work for Diddy might be the sleeper hit of the summer. I included some life lessons from that show, too.)

"You need a therapist, not an assistant." -- Prospective assistant to Tiffany "New York" Pollard
Truer words were never spoken. VH1 has posted a
sneak peek of their new show New York Goes to Hollywood. The show, which premieres tonight at 10 PM, will follow VH1's reality queen on her journey to become a serious actress. In the series premiere New York hires an assistant, does a bootcamp workout, gets a clip reel together, and performs at a small theatre in front of high-powered managers.
By "high-powered," I mean managers who are friends with executive producers Cris Abrego and Mark Kronin.
Or by "high-powered," I mean people VH1 hired to sit in the audience, watch New York perform, and pretend to be managers.
I think the best part is getting to see her read a monologue. She a maid who just wants to catch her 6:30 bus home and not go outside and pick up dog doodoo.
The video is after the jump.

VH1 posted an interview they did with
Tiffany "New York" Pollard a few days ago and, get this, she wants to do Lifetime original movies. God help us all. When asked whether she would rather pursue comedy or drama for her blossoming acting career, she said emphatically, "Drama!" New York wants to play some "cracked out mom" and loves Lifetime originals. She added that she hopes to be a part of one of their movies in the near future.

After Sunday night's episode, I am reminded of the classic line from Steinbeck's novel, "The best laid plans of mice and men are often effed up by blondes with huge fake boobs and nasal voices." Or something like that. Or maybe it was from the Robert Burns' poem. But enough of this talk about low brow things like famous novels or poems. Let's get to
I Love Money.

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.
