After 11 weeks and innumerable hangovers, Bret has finally found his rock of love in Jes. Good girls rule!
After the jump, Jes talks about her attraction to Bret, what it's like to date a man who's more than 20 years her senior, letting her guard down and what it was like to be one of the few sane people in a house full of crazies.
As Rock of Love draws to a close, we take another look back on the moments that rocked our world. The catfights. The cackling. The urine. The booze (and booze and booze and booze). The aerosol. The ill-advised tattoos. The meth-scratched faces. Yep, it was a special show, indeed.
Our Top 10 Rock of Love Moments Countdown starts after the jump...
As you know, Bret likes to rock, and so did his show. Our look back at this decidedly awesome first season of Rock of Love begins with a retrospective of its songs, its greatest hits, if you will. We've collected and uploaded our favorite Rock of Love original recordings for your cackling pleasure. Many of these have an outsider-art ethic, thanks to the nature of one episode's songwriting challenge -- sometimes non-musicians who are put on the spot and forced to write a song make the best music of all.
And then there are those who took the initiative to create their own sounds. Who could forget Magdalena's phone-sex ode to "Brettay," or Rodeo's rhapsodizing about that mythical rainbow of never-ending love? We've also included the show's theme song (hey, did you know that Bret Michaels will let you touch his backstage pass? Do you understand how amazing that is? He'll let you touch his backstage pass!) and a special message from Tiffany, which, while technically not a song, is still music to our ears.
Remember Tiffany?
How could you not? The woman who introduced the world to the phrase, "Don't threaten me with a good time," has moved from one rock star to another: VH1's own Tiff makes a cameo in R. Kelly's new video "Rock Star." Watch it below and see if you can spot Tiff (hint: she's in the bus sequences on the left of the screen -- she's wearing a pink corset, which, of course she is!):
After the jump are some screen shots of her cameo:

A slew of I Love New York 2 Casting Special extras have hit VSPOT, and the personalities involved are so big that it's shaping up to be a hell of a season. Flavor of Love / Charm School graduates Goldie and Shay "Buckeey" Johnson curate the spots as the producers travel to Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and New York in hopes of finding men to compete for New York's affection. Along the way, you'll meet an Asian dude who goes by the name of "Big Johnson," a self-professed "partying Indian," a man who describes himself as "hood and a homeowner," a father-son team, a guy who claims that "body and joint manipulation is my specialty" and a rather curious fellow who goes by the name "Mr. Bojangle" (no S!), looks like Sisqo and claims that New York "mentally called him" to the audition.
Below, check out one of the clips featuring a thirtysomething virgin and a retired male exotic dancer. Both are pleading to be on the show and both are as portly as they are entertaining.
The I Love New York 2 Casting Special airs Monday, Oct 1 at 9/8c on VH1.

"It was all a dream! I used to read Word Up! magazine! Salt-N-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine," go the immortal first lines of the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy." But if you're old enough to remember Word Up! in its heyday, you don't need Biggie's words to remind you that the image of Salt-N-Pepa alone could represent an entire genre of music. And if you don't know, now you now: Salt-N-Pepa are living icons. The duo's spicy brand of sass helped bring hip-hop to the mainstream in the '80s, and their sense of humor, tangling flows, brazen independence and unmistakable consciousness kept it there into the '90s. They persevered in a genre that was and is disproportionately male-dominated, not despite their femininity but because of it. They weren't just the first female rappers to show the world that women could be a force in hip-hop, they were the best.
I got to spend some time with Cheryl "Salt" James Wray and Sandy "Pepa" Denton at Salt's house on New York's Long Island last week, as they shot promos for their upcoming reality show, The Salt-N-Pepa Show, which premieres Oct. 15 on VH1. While Cheryl's house teamed with family members laughing, talking and eating, Salt-N-Pepa did their thing as veterans whose years in the entertainment industry date back over 20 years. They are nothing if not seasoned.
If you saw the preview for The Salt-N-Pepa Show that we posted a few weeks ago, you know that the fact they're in the same room together (and often these days!) is a big deal. After years of estrangement and changing attitudes (for one thing, Cheryl intensified her spirituality), they've finally reunited. For me, it was an even bigger deal: I grew up loving these women and getting the chance to talk to them was an unbelievable opportunity. It was all a dream, indeed. Toward the end of their busy day, Cheryl, Sandy and I gathered around Cheryl's dining room table to talk about their show, their music, hip-hop and so much more. Part 1 of our exclusive interview with Salt-N-Pepa starts after the jump...

If you hate Lacey, the interview below will probably make you hate her even more. Regarding her time on Rock of Love as the self-appointed "puppet master," she is, in a word, unapologetic. If you love Lacey, however, please leave your full name and phone number in the comments -- I'd like to evaluate you psychologically.
Kidding! I'm sure you won't believe it, but Lacey's nice as can be on the phone and in person, and articulate to boot. After the jump, she talks about pre-show scheming, being compared to New York, animal rights and Heather's allegation that she thorned Bret's rose, if you get what I'm sayin' (and I think that you do).
Last week, we were reintroduced to the joys of drunk girls. This week, Rock of Love reintroduces us to the joys of catfights.
Catfights amongst free weights, no less. This show really, really loves us.
