You probably don't remember Faith faith from the first episode of Rock of Love. Pretty and sweet-voiced, she didn't make herself known by humping Bret, playing with her boobs, bickering with the other girls or general drunkenness. Until now (at least in the last case -- we're still holding out for a nipple tweak).
The unaired clip below features Faith tipsily stumbling around the house with no other girls in sight (maybe they'd all passed out at this point?). She cheerfully threatens us with a good time ("Do you want a reality? Seriously?") and then delivers, going from pleasant to belligerent over the course of the mesmerizing 6-minute clip. The highlight comes a suddenly camera-shy Faith demands that a crew member stop "promoting" her. "Do you have any insanity to you? Do you have any humanity to you? Is that collaborative to you? It is." It would appear that ain't bitch no bad enough to step front in her face, either.
Anyway, this clip reiterates two things that we already knew: 1) Drunk girls rule. 2) Rock of Love could very well be the reason that television was invented. Enjoy.
Scott Baio is 45, single, and most importantly, talking about it. The veteran sitcom actor and notorious ladies man (with Pam Anderson, Erika Eleniak, Nicole Eggert, Nicolette Sheridan, Brooke Shields, Denise Richards, and Heather Locklear all taking up notches on his bedpost), is set to make his foray into reality programming when Scott Baio Is 45...and Single premieres Sunday, July 15 at 10:30/9:30c. The yin to a show like Rock of Love's yang, Baio is a more introspective dating show that probes into the psyche of a star who just can't seem to commit. We talked to Scott about the state of reality TV, getting older in Hollywood, how it sucks to be called Chachi 30 years later, and why you won't catch him getting his prostate examined on TV. Our loss? Find out!
The premiere episode of Rock of Love with Bret Michaels debuted today on VSPOT (its network premiere will be this Sunday, July 15, at 9/8c), and oh my god, is it amazing. But don't take our word for it (since we do, you know, work at the company responsible for the show): below are two clips from the premiere so you witness the craziness yourself. The first segment provides the show's set up (basically: a house full of rocker girls with big boobs and long blonde hair are vying for the affection of a rock star dude with...long blonde hair) and introduces you to said girls and said rock star (that'd be Bret Michaels of Poison fame). The second clip below shows just how rowdy the party gets as Bret mingles with all 21 women that are competing to win his rock of love. Keep an eye on Tiffany. She's extremely special.
Some other notable things about this show:
As the latest entry in the Flavor of Love universe, Rock of Love is where things come full circle. See, Flavor of Love was basically conceived and played out as a parody of The Bachelor -- a huge part of its appeal was the inherent ridiculousness arising from the fact that a gaggle of women were gagging over Flavor Flav, who doesn't exactly live up to the standard of male beauty, to say the least. It is, however, conceivable that women would fawn over Bret Michaels, who's been a sex symbol throughout his career. And so it happens: you can tell that most of the girls on Rock of Love are seriously into him, meaning that there's a straightforward dating show at the heart of Rock's wild exterior. And it's all the more absurd for it.
Case and point to that last statement is Bret's objective (stated in the top clip above): "Rock and roll is an insatiable bitch goddess. But I love her. And I'm just looking for that one woman in my life to participate in that threesome."
You'll notice that the first segment does not feature Bret handing out nicknames to his potential girlfriends in the style of Flavor of Love and I Love New York. With a Rodeo, a Dallas, a Raven, a Kristia, a Tawny (Tawny!), and two freakin' Brandi's (two!), these girls don't need any help with their names.
This show is, quite simply, a prolonged exercise in extreme human behavior. It's amazing on a scientific level. Rock of Love looks you in the eye and threatens you with a good time. How many other shows can lay that claim?
Hit VSPOT for the rest of the premiere episode of Rock of Love.
Our interview with Shay picks up right where the reunion left off -- Shay gives us the exclusive word on what went down when the cameras stopped rolling. Find out what was said, who cried and all the details of her reconciliation with Larissa. It's true: Shay and Larissa are "cool" again. Shay also gives us the lowdown on coming close to winning Charm School and how she is extending, in her words, her "15 minutes."
I spent an entire day with the girls of Charm School. No one spit at me. No one cursed me out. And even though I was in and out of dressing rooms, I didn't even catch a nip slip. These girls have really come so far!
Put on your big girl boots and follow my journey, after the jump...
Don't forget that the Charm School reunion airs Sunday at 10/9c on VH1. We had an exclusive, all-access pass to the show when it filmed last week and while we don't want to spoil any surprises, rest assured that beef girlgoesoff was definitely on the menu that evening. With almost the entire cast reassembled, explosions were just waiting to happen -- these girls may have been forgiven for their Flavor of Love behavior, but none of them have forgotten how to hold a grudge. In fact, the clip below, which was shot after Charm School wrapped but before it aired is a nice little preview for the bickering that goes down. In it, you'll see Larissa segregated from the rest of the group -- that's foreshadowing if there ever was.
After the jump, check out a photo of the reunion set.
It's time to get Buckwild...-ish. After the jump, a slightly reformed Becky talks about New York, MySpace beef with Larissa, learning everything she ever needed to know from Saaphyri, being branded the "blackest white girl" and how her road to self-love was not very bumpy at all, actually.
Below are a few extra scenes that you didn't see in the Charm School season finale. In the first, Shay, Becky and Leilene all talk about not winning the competition. That they don't curse, spit or throw tantrums could only mean one thing: these ladies have come a long way in the charm department. In the second, Saaphyri gives her thoughts on her victory. Toward the end, she expresses her need to wrap up the interview so she can go celebrate -- what kind of wine goes well with cherry-flavored Lip Chap?
After the jump, the extremely gracious first runner up of Charm School and self-described "MILF" talks about life after stripping, the fate of her deal with Dean Keith's agency, her kids, her confrontation with Brooke and how her grilled cheese sandwich is tasting these days.
