The Entertainer a.k.a. Frank and his MOM (Susan) of 'I Love New York 2' will be on The ELLE Word tonight @ 7PM Pacific/ 10PM Eastern.


Elle and I have no problem asking The Entertainer & Mrs. Susan tons of questions. Let's face it we are not mind readers. So how about you LISTEN IN LIVE and ask them the questions you want the answers to. They don't appear to hold their tongues back for anyone including Sister Patterson. So call in and introduce yourself and ask your question @ (646) 478-5101.

Tomorrow night on The ELLE Word, we have PUNK a.k.a. David of 'I Love New York 2'. Solace and her staff get to freakin' work. Y'all have work to do.

An Italian Qmoment!

Let's face it. Oh, I should face it. The Q. is most likely never going to get to sit down with Mr. Wise over a venti Macchiato upside down. However, it doesn't mean I don't want to hear or read what he has to say. One of my mother's main lessons was 'those who seldom speak are the ones who usually have the most wisdom to offer'. (Y'all know I don't have sh!t in the wisdom department to offer, right?) Solomon Wise may very well be one of those my mother was referring to.

Whether you love him, hate him or just are plain indifferent to him. One has to wonder 'how did he make it to the top 5'? I believe what the production didn't find dramatic and entertaining enough for reality television; New York found mysterious and sexy. Hell I could be wrong but pass the spitting incident why keep him? Someone had to be feeling the Miami Heat and we all can see it wasn't 51 Minds! Hell cause to be frank I saw more of Man Man and how long ago did he leave?

Well The ELLE Word did an interview with him awhile ago. And VH1.com posted an interesting interview with Mr. Wise that I believe sheds light on the talented young artist. Here is a lil' peak of what the 'I Love New York 2' stud had to say on his experience.

What was making you frustrated and unhappy?
The main thing was what happened with Pretty. And the questions that they were asking my ex. They were real disgusting questions. Questions that were too personal. I mean, I understand TV, entertainment. It’s reality, it’s funny, but some of this stuff is just overboard.

Like sexual type of stuff?
They were asking questions about my parents. I had stated to New York that my immediate parents aren’t available one of my parents is a disabled vet. She got real personal and said something to [ex-girlfriend Kia] like, “Is his dad cuckoo?” I just thought it was a little too personal. They were just trying to dig into stuff that they shoulda just left alone.

Mr. Wise of 'I Love New York 2' has plenty more to say. So go on now and click your way over to VH1.com to read the full interview.

A wise Qmoment!

Buddha_I_Love_New_YorkOnce again, I had the honor of interviewing another one of the "I Love New York 2" contestants, and also one of New York's favorites so far. Read this exclusive interview with "D", and find out a little bit more about them, that everyone doesn't always get to see on the show. This time, find out a little bit more about Buddha! But first, find out a little extra background info about him:

"I'm from Miami, FL. 'Buddha' was the nickname given to me by my deceased friend when I was 15. No one has called me that since his death when I was 17. I said that name in honor of him. He traded his life for mine."

1. How did you make it onto the "I Love New York 2" show?
I casted in Los Angeles.


2. Did you watch the first season of the show?
I didn't see most of the 1st season. I caught the last few episodes on one of those marathons.


3. If so, what do you think of the season as a whole, and watching her get dumped by her fiance at the reunion?
Honestly... I thought it was deserving of her but cowardly of Tango. Tango complaining about "watching her (New York) disrespect" him and his mother. I felt was a cop out for his ego being blown up due to the success of the show. If he thought New York was being dis-respectful to him and his mother he should of said so DURING the show and to her NOT afterwards when all his peers and 1000's of others confronted him about it. I think it was him trying to redeem himself.


4. Who do you think from season 1 you most relate to, and why?
No One. A couple of the people on that show were real individuals but none similar to me.


5. What were your feelings for New York before coming on the show; better said as, what did you think of her?
I thought she was a heart broken woman that truly needed love. My thought in getting on the show was to get to know the real Tiffany and see if we would work together for real NOT to "win over some chick on T.V."

Buddha_I_Love_New_York
6. What are your thoughts on watching the second episode, and seeing how New York was really feelin' you-in your bathing suit and at the date?

What I've seen thus far comes as no surprise to me. New York is VERY honest but Tiffany is VERY real. Relaying her feelings toward me on the show was a constant by both personalities. She was VERY nervous around me (something VH1 IS NOT showing as it might tarnish her "HBIC" status)... it was VERY flattering. Tiffany's a sweetheart... New York is the paycheck.


7. Was this your first reality tv show?, If so, what was it like seeing yourself on TV for the first time?
Actually this was my 3rd. I was set up on two blind dates by both Lifetime T.V. and B.E.T. however both women weren't my type so I said "NO MORE BLIND DATES FOR ME!!" Although I was offered another 6 afterwards. (Note, for those who do not know, Buddha was featured on BET's "Hell Date", and Lifetime's "Gay, Straight, or Taken").


8. Which of the guys from the house did you become "cool" with instantly?
Mr. Wise, Punk, Man-Man, & Midget MAC right off!


9. What are your thoughts on Sister Patterson?

"Sister" Patterson admittedly is a voodoo high priestess. If you know ANYTHING about Priestess Patterson's religion she adheres to her beliefs with great accuracy therefore her lies and manipulations are not surprising in the least bit. DO NOT be fooled. What most people don't know is Voodoo is often considered a denomination of Christianity (Notice how he put "sister" in quotations).

10. Without spoiling the season, what can we expect?
Not surprising is HIGH DRAMA!! What is surprising is DEEP SUBSTANCE! In the beginning much of the show will be for pure entertainment purposes, but I suspect things will get much deeper as the episodes go on. Stay Tuned!!
-With Love, Buddha

Buddha_I_Love_New_York
Buddha advises you all to check out his website, www.buddha-verse.com, and to watch the rest of the season for even more surprises! Catch Buddha on "I Love New York 2" this Monday at 9 PM on VH1!

Hey, what's up? It's "D" here. I've been communicating with 'Cheezy', one of the 20 "I Love New York 2" contestants, and also one of my favorites from the 'mixer' so far. I had the pleasure of interviewing him with a few questions before the show premiered. Read below as we find out how he made it onto the show, what he saw in New York before-ward, and find out just a lil' bit more about Cheezy before the rest of the season airs...

1. How did you make it onto the "I Love New York 2" show?
I've always been a fan of New York and didn't think that many of the guys treated her the way she deserved last season. They thought more about themselves then her at heart. So I decided to write the casting agents a letter stating how she DESERVES someone like me. Someone smart, caring, and always willing to put her first. I guess they understood me, so I was called in for an on camera interview. After that I was flown to LA for a final interview. Next thing I knew, I was in a car with a bunch of random big dudes on the way to the mansion.


2. What turned you on about New York before entering the show?

ATTITUDE. I'm always up for a challenge. Tell me how you feel and tell it to me bluntly. She is real as can be and that's sexy. She also has amazing legs, and sure, I dig the boob job.

3. What previous characters from the previous season of "I Love New York" do you think you most relate to, and why?
12 Pack ALLLLLLLLLL the way!!!!!!!!!! Don't you see the resemblance?????


4. How is the mansion for the show like?

Mansion was nice. Open bar all the time and all the food you can eat. The backyard had a great view of LA and the jacuzzi was orgasmic.


5. Where are you from?

Cherry Hill, NJ. The clean suburban town sandwiched between Camden, NJ and Philly.

6. How did you feel, watching New York get rejected by Flavor Flav on Flavor of Love,TWICE, then getting her wedding called off and dumped at her own reunion?
I feel bad for any girl that gets her heart broken so much. But New York always puts so much effort and energy into her feelings, so you know she is always real. That's why it is twice as heartbreaking. Tango's excuse for breaking up with New York was lame. So she called her mom old....well.....she IS old??? If you were that in love, you would have worked it out beforehand instead of embarrassing your fiancee on National TV. I feel the guys she has seen thus far have not TRULY understood her, so I was excited to have the opportunity to change that.

7. Without spoiling the season, how'd you feel when you first saw New York in person, face to face?
I can steal Tailor Made's line of "it was like the first time i saw the Sistine chapel", but a Sistine chapel with a new boob job and a gold dress that screamed "i'm your trophy take me home". Needless to say, she was pretty breathtaking.


So, there you have it! A bit more from Cheezy himself. Digging the "breast aug" and is a nice person at heart, he's definitely what New York deserves! Catch Cheezy on the next "I Love New York 2" Episode this Monday at 9PM on VH1! Also, be sure to check out the first episode of Aurelius' I Love New York 2 Recap, the premiere of Season 3 of Aurelius' Video Recaps!


The Entertainer definitely appears to be a force to be reckoned with on episode 1 of 'I Love New York 2'. Besides being a very handsome Italian Stallion, he was the ultimate fan favorite with over 38,000 votes. The 'I Love New York 2' casting site was good to Frank. My plan is to be equally good to him tonight during our radio blog interview.

I'll be slipping my normal Cherry Coke & munching on my After Eight mints. Hopefully The Entertainer will open up to us; sharing his love of food, New York & crazy ex-girlfriend tales. The ELLE Word is the place to be @ 5pm Pacific/ 8pm Eastern Time. Sal (his almost as handsome younger brother) should be calling in to give us the stories; The Entertainer would rather leave in the past. LISTEN LIVE or JOIN THE CHAT BOX NOW, it's all up to you.


An entertaining Qmoment!

wolf_I_Love_New_York_2

midget_mac_I_Love_New_York_2I Love New York has its official debut tonight (9pm EST), and fortunately for you, you have the opportunity to speak LIVE to many of the guys selected and given the opportunity to woo 'New York'.

You cannot be a fan of the I Love New York series and miss tonight's radio show.
So; true fans of I Love New York will join host Gabrielle, TONIGHT at 10pm EST (7pm PST) to call and participate in this rare and special event.

Once again, join us tonight at 10pm EST on the Elle Word Radio Show to speak LIVE to cast members of I Love New York 2

It's getting down to the wire on the FlavorofLoveCasting.com site. My oldest sister & my firstborn are visiting from the Bay Area. So I don't have much time to waste my life away looking at my monitor. However, I managed to make time for the lovely LadyRap1. Lady Rap is a petite power house on the 'Flavor of Love 3' casting site. She doesn't have a specific team pulling for her. However, she does have loyal voters who continually drop votes for LadyRap1. During the interview, I got a chance to rap (chat) with this young women with the island edge. Here is what went down:

Where were you born & raised?
I was born in Newark, New Jersey. I've grown up in Essex County my entire life.

What's your favorite childhood memory?
My mother taking us back to her countries. Visiting Haiti and the Dominican Republic was a wonderful experience. It's different from America. You know American kids are more about technology. It's a totally different way of life. It makes you appreciate being raised in America. At the same time it was an enriching experience to know where my mother comes from.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Vanilla with sprinkles, I love the pure taste of it. Strawberry is good too.

Vanilla is a first. Can you cook?
Actually no. She laughs. When I was around 9 or 10, I could cook. I'd make chicken and rice. I lost it. My mother cooks for us all of the time. Makes sure we are eating right. So, I've gotten lazy and spoiled when it comes to that.

What talents would you like potential voters to know about?
Well I rap. I can draw very good. However, my ultimate talent will hopefully be winning Flavor Flav's interest and eventually his heart.

Do you think your rapping will hinder or help you in your attempt to win Flavor Flav's heart?
Well I would hope it would help. We have common ground. We have something in common. We share a love of Hip Hop. However, I don't plan on going into the house talking about it. This isn't an audition or interview. My wanting to be there is about having a chance to meet a man I am very attracted to. It allows me to find out if we will actually mesh, as I think we will. I am into Flavor Flav. Also, I'd like to take the time to clarify the name LadyRap1. Lady Rap has been my nickname for a long time. The funny thing about it R.A.P. are actually my initials. (She shares with me her actual name.)

Have you watched seasons 1 & 2 of 'Flavor of Love'?
Yes, I have. I love the shows. I absolutely love it!

Name your favorite cast member from each season? Why?
Season 1, I most definitely have to say New York. Yes, I know. She's crazy. She is also believable. I really think she was there for Flavor Flav. She made me watch due to my wanting to see what she'd do next. Her exaggerated personality is a can't miss. Season 2, Deelishis was my favorite. I saw that Lishis was there for Flavor Flav. It was all about him and their connecting. She also helped with weeding out the phoneys.

Name your least favorite cast members from each season. Why?
Red Oyster was weird to me. She wore red all of the time and was dull. Something was just not right with her. Let's see season 2, I'd have to say Like Dat. We are both from New Jersey which is cool. I don't think her and Flavor Flav were compatible. I think her 'Flavor of Love' appearance boiled down to something fun for her to do.

Name a scene that you'll never forget.
She laughs. I don't think America will ever forget this scene either, Pumkin spitting on New York. If she had spat on me it would've been a whole notha' ending. She laughs.

Why do you want to be in the 'Flavor of Love 3' mansion?
It's not that I want to be in the mansion. It's my way of meeting Flavor Flav. It's my chance to get to know him. It's my best opportunity to meet him. If it my stepping stone to see if we click like I believe we will, I'll take it. Family and friends don't understand my desire to be with him. However, it's about what I want. My potential for happiness. A lot of people judge my the exterior. I use to. Now I am more into a person's personality. Flavor Flav seems to have a good heart and great personality. That is what turns me on and I find that the most attractive quality. He's cute to me.

On the FlavorofLoveCasting.com site there is a lot of accusations of cheating and name calling, basic negativity. Have you experienced the negativity?
Sure I have. But I don't have time for eThuggin' & Radio Blogging backstabbing. You do you. I am going to do LadyRap1. And I am about doing Flavor Flav. Get at me in the house not on some site hiding behind your monitor.

Well let's (w)rap this up. What would you like our readers and potential voters to know about LadyRap1?
I am genuinely in this to meet Flavor Flav and have an opportunity to build a relationship with him. I am feeling Flavor Flav. I am not in love with him. I have love for him. And I am looking forward to seeing if we have a chemistry to take it to another level.

Well I definitely wouldn't mind watching you win Flavor Flav's heart on 'Flavor of Love 3'. Thank you so much for allowing me to talk to you. And I look forward to our radio interview tonight on The ELLE Word.

That's right folks! Tonight LadyRap1 wants to answer the voters questions on The ELLE Word @ 7pm Pacific Time & 10pm Eastern Time. Call in # (646) 478-5101 and ask her the questions, I didn't. LadyRap1 will be live & ready to answer all, while almost all. (LOL!) Don't miss what should be a very interesting Blog Talk Radio Show.

Earlier today @ 4pm Pacific & 7pm Eastern Time DZ's Talk Show is having a 'Flavor of Love' recap show. 'Flavor of Love 3' is coming in January 2008 (tentatively), Damien will recap the previous seasons of 'Flavor of Love' & touch on how the spin-offs all started. Get ready for a walk down memory lane of spits, arguments, balcony pushes, shoe throwing, yelling, pooping, and hot iron threats? YEEEAAA BOYEEE!!!

A down to the wire Qmoment!

While you all know I spend quality time over at flavoroflovecasting.com. I am a good ole voter over there. The true star voters over there are Debbie, GnaD & EspitF. I 've come across some interesting and awesome candidates for 'Flavor of Love 3'. Some of them want to get their shine on, let's not bullsh!t anyone. But there are some who are serious about meeting William Drayton Jr. They truly want to win his heart. I believe PeachyChrista is one of those individuals clockin' Flavor Flav's heart big time.

Where were you born and raised?
I was born in Van Nuys, California. I grow up in this area all my life.

Are you a 'valley girl'?
I am like totally a valley girl. I totally live near The Galleria. (The Galleria is a mall. It is the life force for all valley girls.)

What's your favorite childhood memory?
My dad reading to me or telling me wonderful stories. He use to tell me stories of when I was younger. He 'd make my younger years seem like a great adventure. He is no longer with us. He passed away when I was 20.

It must've been tough for you.
Yes it was. A miracle happened at his memorial service. He gave me a sign. I know he is alright. I was living with him at the time. It was hard because you are dealing with your grief & loss. And you have to grow up faster. I had to support myself, stop going to college and get a full-time job. I am not complaining it was just a hard time. I miss my dad til this very day.

I totally understand. Would your dad approve of you attempting to win Flavor Flav's heart?
She laughs. No. My father wouldn't approve of any man more than five years older than me. (Christa is 27.)My mother is more relaxed. She also has a great sense of humor. So she can appreciate a man like Flavor Flav. So my wanting to meet and date Flavor Flav doesn't bother her in the least bit. My mom understands me and is very supportive.

What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Chocolate, peanut butter & bananas.

WTF?! That sounds gross! Get out of town.
She laughs. You know Cold Stone Ice Cream. I order chocolate ice cream mixed with peanut butter. They put sliced bananas on top. It is soooooo good. You have to try it.

My stomach is turning. But now that I think about I have a daily love affair with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Can you cook?
I can totally cook. However, I am a full-time student now. I am eating food out of boxes and microwaving a lot.

Congratulations on going back to school. What's your major?
Thank you! My major is psychology.

Any other talents potential voters may want to know about?
I can fit into a dryer. (Yes folks as in laundry dryer.) I can say the alphabet backwards in 3 seconds. I am always smiling. I guess my best talent would be my ability to always turn a negative into a positive.

Recite the alphabet backwards.
Zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba. (3 seconds flat)

Wow, you are like totally talented! Have you watched seasons 1 & 2 of 'Flavor of Love'?
Yes, I am like totally a 'Flavor of Love' fan. While my friends needed to be home for 'Sex in the City' or 'Will & Grace'. I had to be home for every episode of 'Flavor of Love'.

Name your favorite cast menber from each season of 'Flavor of Love'.
From season 2, Deelishis was my favorite. I think she carried herself well and remained true to herself. Deelishis wasn't involve with a lot of the trouble. She's a good woman and held her head up high. She has class. Season 1, New York was my favorite. I know shocking but I think she was truly there for Flavor Flav. She loved him. Season 2, 'I Love New York' & 'Charm School' my opinion has changed of her. She was my favorite definitely for 'Flavor of Love' season 1. I think Flavor Flav was really into her. However, he didn't pick her because he is looking for a woman who can let go and have fun. I think Flavor Flav wants a woman who is willing to get her hair wet. I have no problem getting my hair wet. It excites me to see the sparkle in his eyes when his is into someone. I want him to have that sparkle for me. (Like the sparkle you like shared with Clifford?!)

You are like totally serious about like getting your man. LOL. Name your least favorite from each season of 'Flavor of Love'.
From season 2, Bootz because she seemed to cause a lot of trouble. I have to admit she stepped up her game. Quanda I know you like her. I am going to have to say Pumkin. I believe she was there for television and not Flavor Flav. The spitting incident was immature. Her behavior on 'Charm School' wasn't impressive either. I sit in judgement of no one. I know we are going to see 5 seconds of someone messing up instead of an hour long heart felt speech. I don't judge anyone. I just have an opinion based off of snippets of their moments in the house. Oh and you have to include this in the interview. I like totally love Goldie. I thought she was true to who she is. I think she's funny and I love her 'After the Show' commentary. (She is like totally like not like lying! She will turn a negative into like totally like into a like postive.)

What scene will you like never totally forget?
I thought it would be Pumkin spitting. But it like has to be when Sumthin dropped a bomb on the floor. I mean that was really something. It was unforgettable and Flavor Flav couldn't forget it either.

Why do you want to be in the 'Flavor of Love 3' mansion?
I want to meet Flavor Flav. I am enamored with Flavor Flav. I want to see that sparkle in his eyes in person. Flavor Flav is a good man. Through all of his success & stresses in this life, he keeps his senses. He isn't afraid to be different. He is who he is and makes no apologies about it. He has an adventurous spirit. He intrigues me.

D@MN you have it bad for Flavor Flav! You are serious!
Yes, I really want to meet him. I believe I am perfect for him. I'd compliment him. I am what he's looking for.

*thinks about fainting Before I let you go, I noticed you've made a pledge to Aid Health Inc. based upon the number of votes you receive. What's this about?
This has been a humbling experience. So many people have been supportive of my dream to meet Flavor Flav. Honestly I was simply moved by all the love and support from strangers. I am a service oriented person. I have a great respect for those who pledge their time & money to charities. Yes, I want my dream to come true to meet Flavor Flav. I also believe my dream can turn into something bigger and help others. It's my way of paying it forward the support others have given me. There is a young woman named DEJAH. She is one of three candidates for Queen of Fantasy Fest. I wish to support her in her venture to become queen. She is such a great role model in any leadership role. I will donate through her and encourage everyone else to support AIDS Help Inc. through her web page. Last year, the six candidates raised a total of $170,000!!

Tell The 'Flavor of Love' Blogspot reader more about AIDS Help Inc.
AIDS Help, Inc. is a non-profit community-based organization. The charity provides case-managed health care, housing, food, counseling, referral and support services for HIV-infected residents of Monroe County (The Florida Keys). They also conduct health education and HIV risk reduction outreach programs aimed at reducing the impact of HIV infection throughout Monroe County. It's an outstanding charity.

Sounds like AIDS Help Inc. is dedicated to improving the lives of persons suffering with HIV. Alrighty, Christa I think we are like totally done. Anything else you'd like to share?
I like totally want to meet Flavor Flav. He is totally an awesome guy. I am like totally adventureous enough for him. Quanda thank you so much for interviewing me.

No worries, we Cali girls got to stick together. It's like the totally like the most like right thing to like do. *grabs car keys to drive to Cold Stone

Like chocolate ice cream mixed with like peanut butter then like put like sliced bananas on top... like gag me with a spoon. (Oh my God, like I just totally remembered my Whiteboy interview. He likes Stone Cold too.)

A valley girl Qmoment!

Dallas was a fun interview. She is witty, bright and unbelievably funny. Dallas has no fear of VH-1 or 'big brother'. Dallas is who she is and makes ZERO apologies for it. She has a dark sense of humor that The Q. enjoys. There are jokes within her answers. I hope you all pick up on them. (And if you don't... so sad, too bad.) Dallas is a character, no doubt about it. Let the interview begin!

Where were you born and raised?
Houston, Texas. No, I wasn't named after the city Dallas nor a porn star. I was named after a person. (Got to love her, one less question to ask!)

What's your favorite childhood memory?
Wow that's a hard question. I'll tell you in 2 weeks. Actually, I don't have any.

Do you believe blonds have more fun?
No. Our society and the media likes to promote that blond & blue-eyed is the beauty aesthetic to shoot for. It's not. There is all sorts of beautiful women who aren't blond or blue-eyed. Blond isn't the be all and end all of beauty. I'm not blond and I have lots of fun.

What's your idea of fun?
Getting shit faced, being me, (watching) old movies, fashion shows and getting free sh!t.

Free sh!t is always good. Share with our readers what your experience was like during the 'Rock of Love' casting.
Really funny, I knew I was going to be on the show. They were acting like I was the second coming of Jesus. Afterwards, I packed my bag. I had to take this step.

Your thoughts once you arrived at the 'Rock of Love' mansion?
The furniture was filthy and used. The food seemed used too, as if it had been sitting there for 4 months. Considering I was the negro of the show, I should be thankful. They didn't beat me.

Give me a minute Dallas to get it together. You are killing me. Tiffany threw a racial slur at you. Did you think about taking her out?
No. She drank the entire time. She looked like she's in her 40s. I pity her. Whatever she called me didn't make a difference in my life. Who cares? I am not a n!#$er.

Fair enough. Are you thinking about joining PETA anytime soon?
Maybe, possibly I'll wear my fur coat. I should've packed 3 suitcases instead of 2. I could've packed my fur. We're in America. I'll wear leather, fur and eat meat. I am not Hitler or a publicist. I think there is a desire to promote an image that black people are evil. You would think by now people would be smarter and tolerant. I eat cheeseburgers. I am not raping babies, eating babies, raping animals & then eating them.

Okay that cancels out my beastiality question. I viewed Lacey and you get into a physical altercation, care to elaborate?
She continued to touch me for an hour or so with me telling her 'Don't touch me.' She kept on pushing me. I think there is a stereotype of sassy, black girl who will fight. Whoever's idea it was... I wasn't willing to cater to fulfilling their stereotype. I was conscious of my environment. I've had dreams of beating and degrading her (Lacey) for the entertainment of my future grandkids.

Did you make any life long friends in the house?
No, but the casting director is cool. I like Sammie. For the most part I don't like those 'smoke crack on your head hoes.'

You want me to include this in the interview?
Sure.

Explain your experience in a nutshell in the 'Rock of Love' mansion?
I was the most adult in the room. There was a lot drunkenness, no self respect and cliches. Things done out of stupidity. Basically individuals should've slowed down and stopped drinking.

You mentioned shoving fists up @sses. OUCH! Would you care to elaborate?
I don't receive anal play on me. I do it (fisting) because I'm talented. I really don't have a fetish.

What are your future goals and aspirations?
I want to be the black Marilyn Monroe. I want to be rich but not famous.

One more question, there is a lot of negativity on the message boards about your looks. Care to share your thoughts on the situation?
I don't care. I look like Naomi Campbell. I have more than looks. I have personality and a genius I.Q. I know who I am.

Alright then we're done. My fastest interview ever! By the way, I love the skull & cross bones dress. Where do you get those cute halter dresses?
I love Mexican clothing stores. They have the cutest clothes and good deals. The skull & cross bones dress was $8.

A quick Qmoment!

Thank God Kelly doesn't talk remotely like the Barbie Twins a.k.a. Brandi C. & Kristia.

Chicago, Illinois.

Wow, you are a tough woman surviving all those winters. What's your favorite childhood memory?
Yes, the winters are rough. I've been saving up to move. My favorite childhood memory would be, eating whatever I want. As an adult, I have to watch what I eat to maintain my weight. (I watch what I eat too. Right before I shovel it down my throat, as if it's my last meal.)

kelly-rock-of-love
Are you a natural blond?
I was born a blond. When I was around 5 or 6 year old, my hair started to get darker. So, I became a brunette.

Do you believe blonds have more fun?
Definitely, blonds have more fun. I've been a brunette and redhead. *laughs Blonds have a lot more fun.

What's your idea of fun?
I enjoy going to clubs and dancing. I am up for most stimulating activities. I like bike rides and long walks.

Do you exercise to maintain your figure?
I'll do sit ups. I am not big on exercise. I'll do pilates but I am not consistent. (She doesn't regularly exercise and can work a red bikini! I should kill this beezy.)

Share with our readers what your experience was like during the 'Rock of Love' casting.
It was fun. I have to say it was my best audition ever. The casting team asked questions that were funny and made you feel so comfortable. I only knew it was a rock star from the 90s. When I saw Bret Michaels I was surprised and happy.

How did you feel when you arrived at the 'Rock of Love' mansion?
I felt good. I also was not feeling my best. I wanted to change my outfit. It's uncomfortabe to know someone may be looking you up and down and you are not feeling your best. First impressions are important.

What did you think when you saw Bret Michaels?
Bret Michaels is so sexy. I was thinking, 'OMG, I want you so bad!' *We both laugh.

Were the other women nice or standoffish?
They seemed very friendly and genuine.

rock-of-love-kelly-munroeWas there a particular female who was extra friendly?
Heather was really cool. Of course I was there to hopefully connect with the rock star. It would've been also nice to make new friends with some of the women.

When you were asked to stay behind what were you thinking?
I had a bad feeling. My stomach started to turn. You know it was a new experience to me. I didn't want to be singled out so early. I just felt something was not right.

What were you thinking when Big John announced your tour had ended?
I was shocked and hurt. I couldn't believe it. I was already feeling a little insecure. It was just not a good experience. I was happy to see Bret because I've had a crush on him since I was 8 years old. I wish I had an opportunity to see if we had a chemistry, a connection.

Have you watched the 'Rock of Love' sneak peek on VH-1's V-Spot?
Yes. I missed out on the chance to meet a great guy and have lots of fun.

What women are you liking that made it into the 'Rock of Love' mansion?
Heather of course, we sat next to one another. She is really a nice woman. Also I like Cindy a.k.a. Rodeo. She is beautiful. She seems like she's going to be the voice of reason in the 'Rock of Love' mansion.

How do you feel about Tiffany begging her way into the 'Rock of Love' mansion?
It was definitely a smart move. She took a chance and it worked. She's in the house. I would've loved to be in the house. However, I have a different personality and don't see myself doing what she did. I also signed a contract and had concerns.

What's your opinion of her questionable behavior after receiving Big John's mercy?
Wow, he gave her a second chance. She could very well be a nice person. On the show she is a train wreck. Tiffany comes off as obnoxious and rude. I don't know maybe she is behaving in that manner for shock value. If I had gotten a second chance I'd be on my best behavior. *laughs Maybe that's why I went home. I was too boring for reality television.

Do you wish you had knocked on the door and begged for entrance into the mansion?
Kind of, I have mixed emotions. That's a hard question. I've could've tried harder to stay but I didn't think I had an option.

How do you pay your bills?kelly-vh1-the-rock-of-love
Trade shows, promotional, runway and print modeling pays a lot of my bills. I am also a receptionist part time.

What are your future goals and dreams?
Professionally, I would love to pursue acting. I am also considering going to college and majoring in Fashion Merchandising. Personally I'd like to meet my soul mate. *giggles And have my fairy tale wedding.

Tell me what you would want in a soul mate.
Of course I want a man who shares my sense of humor. A guy who can make me laugh. He would have to be goal oriented. He'd have to have the ability to maintain his own lifestyle and a car. Definitely a guy who is down to earth and not full of himself. I would like him to appreciate and respect me. (D@mn, appreciation and respect ... how lovely!)

Well Kelly we are done, anything else you want the readers to know?
Well I was highly disappointed not making it into the house. I imagine it wasn't meant to be for me this time. I am alright and moving forward. VH-1 could've done things differently. However, if they had, I would've never made it on the first episode. So with that said, I am thankful to VH-1 and 51 Minds for giving me a chance. The good far outweighed the bad. Everyone keep on watching 'Rock of Love'. I know I will be watching to see all of the good times and drama I missed out on. *We both laugh.

A refreshing Qmoment!

buckwld-saaphyri-charm-school

The word on da street is Gabrielle T is the next big thing on Internet Radio.
Our girl's interview with Saaphyri (technical flaws and all) was the 5th most popular show of the week and today's interview with Hottie is the featured Show of the Day.
All the proof can be found here...

I tried to get a quote from her this morning but her publicist said she's making appearances all day and can't comment. (smh at the attitude a little success brings)

That said, I am positive she's appreciative of all the support she's had from you (the common people) and her celebrity guests, Onix, Somethin, Trends, Quanda, Wood, Mr. Boston, Mr. New York and Saaphyri.

Saaphyri blew me away with her interview. I didn't like her that much and my recaps reflect that; but I was wrong, clearly.
She's definitely my choice to be the winner of Charm School (but that can change in a hurry)

Now that Gabrielle is established we need to dominate the BlogTalk radio Top 10.
All our friends' shows need to be there (Buckwild's, Quanda's and Licious', Aurelius' and Aanand's, Jeff's and Steve's)

But, before you dash off to listen to those podcasts (repeated listens do count) you might want start your day straight, with a read of Q-gasm's interview with erotic model Ms. Deja.
I know it has nothing to do with Charm School, I Love New York or Flavor of Love, but aren't you curious to learn why my name came up?
Hmmmn.

An extract from the interview:

Do you think Schatar is a liar or does she believe what she says?

I think the woman is delusional. She has been lying for so long and so well that she just believes her stories. Sometimes it becomes ingrained. You know, bipolar disorder combined or the wrong drugs and there you go: it's over. But you know, this isn't the end of the world. I'm not going to kill her for this. I don't hate her for this. But, yeah, I am a little pissed. But whose fault is it really? I chose! But damn. I got bamboozled.

Read the entire interview

What does Schatar have to say about that? You might just hear it for yourself this Tuesday on The Elle Word.

shay-charm-schoolHow do I know?
I heard her say as much in yet another fantastic DC Livers interview on Black Press Radio.

I am tired of trumpeting DC Livers skill at extracting emotion from her interviewees so I won't do that again. But just know, if you can spare 30+ minutes of your time you'll hear Shay 'Buckeey' Johnson's thoughts on New York ("she's fake") Chance, Real and Tango.

She addresses the issue of the assumed friendship with Larissa (Bootz) and reveals the person she considers a friend from her time on Flavor of Love 2 and Charm School.
But it's much more than that because she opens the door to her life and explains why she is who she is...
Lots of emotion in this interview and on this thirty minutes alone I have to say she is one of my favorite girls from the Flavor of Love series and spin-offs.

Reminder: last evening Elle spoke to Onix in a live podcast but that deserves an article of its own.
Good morning everyone.

Onix-Heat-I-love-New-YorkYet another interview with guys from the I Love New York cast ragging on 'New York'. This time it's William 'Onix' Lash and Jason 'Heat' Rosell throwing their behind-the-scenes stories at us...

It's a fun interview although the quality isn't the best.
Click here for the BlogChat Radio interview with Onix and Heat

charm-school-like-dat-darraDarra (Flavor of Love 2, Charm School) talks to DC Livers of Black Press Radio and speaks about her job in pharmaceutical advertising, the corporate following of the VH1 shows, her 'weight-not-a-problem' and the feather incident.

Once again, Darra proves herself to be an incredibly classy woman and of course DC Livers is as good an interviewer as you'll ever hear. But at times Darra came across harsh; but that's just me.
Maybe it's just her natural confidence; because she is so much more accomplished and articulate compared to all the other women on these shows.

Moving on, I can't wait to hear DC interview 'New York' because she seems well equipped to reveal the real Tiffany Pollard.
And speaking of, the I Love New York 2: You Cast it Special was on last night and it was terrific. New York really is ready-made for television.
Anyways, I'll probably write about the Cast It special later tonight; or maybe I won't.
Until then, why not listen to DC Liver's podcast interview with Darra of Charm School (there is an opportunity to download as well)

Remember to click on 'I agree. Let me enter', then proceed to the podcast titled 'Charm School star Dara a.k.a. "Like Dat" comes clean about her feelings for Flavor Flav'

Rico-mugshotAs we reported, exclusively; Rico missed the Reunion Show because he was incarcerated on a charge for driving while licensed revoked.
Subsequently, in her final article for The Blogspot, Quanda made the argument that he was forced into breaking the law because his father was experiencing chest pains at the time (Rico's dad suffered a heart-attack recently)

I can understand that...maybe he could have placed a call but I would probably have done the same. And in fact I have been arrested for the same charge.

That said, Rico agreed to be interviewed by DC Livers at BlackPressRadio.com and he addresses that issue and his experience on 'I Love New York'.

new-york-criesWe heard about the casting call for I love New York 2 but we wrote nothing about it because...well just because.
But, last night the second series was confirmed via an advertisement run between segments of Episode 3 of Charm School.

It was expected, but not so soon, I'd think. But who's complaining?
At the very least, it means we are gonna be around for a few more months to cover the stories and lives of the characters on the Flavor of Love and it's spinoffs.



The 'I Love New York' Reunion Show Missing Link

For the record: I love VH-1 and 51 Minds. Do not punish the messenger. And if I must be punished ...could Kuba be the one to spank me. He is such a cutie. I promise to call him 'Big Daddy K'.

Alright that was a submissive moment. It happens once every 5 years. On to the subject at hand; Where the heck was Pootie? Did we not want to see him again? I did. I mean he stood toe to toe with that Wig-A-Beast. And he didn't flinch. He kept her mansion straight by cooking and cleaning. Pootie stole 12 Pack's graph and gave a memorable 'Potential Earnings' presentation. Then he did the ultimate for the 'I Love New York' viewer ...he did a swan dive down the stairs. (This by the way is Quanda's 3rd favorite reality television moment.) Thanks to a person who shall remain nameless (for disrespect), I discovered Pootie on mySpace. Pootie had no airs about him. He was ready for the readers of the 'I Love New York' Blogspot to hear his take on reality television. All
bullsh@t aside, many think Pootie is crazy. Quanda doesn't and I respect that he is a Chi-town brother who listens to the beat of his own drummer. And in Q. fashion f@ck what anyone else thinks ...it's Pootie's World. And in his world he can do and say what he pleases. Enough typed ....the interview begins.

Who is Pootie?
Pootie is loosely based off of a character in the movie 'Pootie Tang'. He was a good looking cat who had a positive thang goin' on. However, 'The Man' tried to turn him into a negative individual in order to make $$$. And LaMonty was in a dangerous situation with that contract I signed. Which basically gave VH-1 the power to edit, defame me in anyway to make their paper. I want people to know there is more to me than what they saw on 'I Love New York'.

How does LaMonty make a living?
Baby, I am a brick layer. I work on high raises. I work on scale $29.50 per hour. I also model, act and do stunt work. I've been in 'War of the Worlds', 'Ghost & Demons' and 'Prison Break'.

Tell me a little more about LaMonty.
I can be very humorous. I am black and Puerto Rican. I am 31 with no kids and single. I am looking forward to a future in the entertainment industry; modeling, commercials, stunt work and acting.


Single ...huh? How are the ladies treating Pootie?
The ladies have always loved me.

Tell me a little about what you brought to 'I Love New York'.
A real man is what I brought to the show. I am a man who cooks and cleans. I know how to maintain a home. Whilst VH-1 is playing making it look like 12 Pack was throwing it down. It was Pootie who got the barbecue going. T-Weed and I were the ones who got the list together of the groceries and supplies we needed. I hooked that cue up. I made shrimp, pasta, corn on the cob ...it was all good.

What happen during the 'Potential Earnings' presentation?
Somebody need to check her and her mother. Omarosa was real. But them two....

What's up with the dive?
Man, I was trying to make good reality t.v. But instead it scared the producers. They called the ambulance and all this extra stuff. Worried about Pootie suing them. How can I sue them ...I've done signed my life away for a year. I can't sue them! I was trying to be entertaining and make great reality t.v.

How was dinner with Sister Patterson?
Man, I am a steak and potato guy. Why you going to take me to a soup and sandwich place? I don't want no d@mn soup and sandwiches.

What's up with you leaving?
Truth be told ...the producers coming at me telling me I am the realest person there. They tell me to go lay down and rest. Then they play me ...having me asked to leave. But all the time, I 've had enough and they beg me to stay. That' s the real situation.


Ummmmmm...Pootie we stepping into some controversial territory. You sure you want to go here?
Controversy? *He laughs. Sue me...I am broke right? You get nothing from nothing.

I asked you earlier what you brought to 'I Love New York'. Now I need to know what brought you to 'I Love New York'.
I didn't audition for 'I Love New York'.

What?
You heard me. I auditioned for FOX UPN's 'The Player'. They called me to ask if they could pass my audition tape to VH-1. VH-1 was casting for a new dating show. I said sure. VH-1 starting calling me for 'The Flavorette'. And I was told it was Hoopz who we were competing for.

D@mn! ( And he ain't the only one folks!) Did you find New York attractive?
I didn't find her attractive. Hoopz is more my speed. It was an opportunity to be on a show.

Not too long ago in a King Magazine interview, she said the 'winner' had a two inch penis. Any thoughts on that?
I am not one to be commenting on another man's dick. My question would be was it 2 inch soft or hard? Just shows her true character ...

For real huh? What's up with all the suitcases?
Man, I had some outfits. I have some suits you wouldn't believe. And of course I had to bring the gators. I had a pair that Tango wanted. I couldn't let them go ...they my 'Tango' gators. You remember during the presentation I mention it cost me money to get there. That's the money I spent for my extra luggage. VH-1 wouldn't pay for it. But they making a show paying us $100 per day while they raking in the dough. $250 for the 'I Love New York' Reunion Show appearance. ( D@mn ...I should've hit Whiteboy up for a drink or two and a midnight snack.)

*Laughing Pootie you are definitely too much. What was it like living in the 'I Love New York' mansion?
It was a danger zone. You have New York, Sister Patterson and Chamo staying on one side of the house. You in there with guys you don't know. And you know they have that placed wired where they can hear the sound of your shit dropping.

Are you going to be at the 'I Love New York' Reunion Show?
No they didn't invite me back. But they keep calling about some d@mn counseling. I want them to leave me the hell alone. You know what Quanda that contract binds me to get approval for any other projects I want to do. But when I have an opportunity, they take weeks to get back at me. You can't get back to me about me getting exposure and building my future. But you want to call me about some therapy. Go on with that bullsh@t!

Pootie this interview nervouses the hell out of me.
Baby, VH-1 is about reality t.v. Our reality is God's vision.

You have just shared a Qmoment way overdue!
