New York is back and Flav has no hair
Flavor Flav calls them the Fantastic Five; and VH1 just calls them ‘Money…
The Fantastic Five are VH1 money spinners, Flavor Flav, Tiffany ‘New York’ Pollard, Bret Michaels, Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry.
The five, along with producers, Chris Abrego and Mark Cronin, sat down with USA Today to discuss their lives as stars in the reality television world over a bottle of Hennessy. (Who do you think ordered that?)
Here’s an excerpt…
Q: Can you find true love on a reality TV show?
Knight: “Don’t look for it on a reality show. I don’t think you can really expect to find it.”
Curry: “Where else are you going to find it?” (Knight and Curry, who was the first America’s Next Top Model winner, met on The Surreal Life 4. They will soon celebrate their second anniversary.)
Pollard: As for TV suitors, “there are going to be people who show up there solely for television purposes. But as the group got smaller, at least for me, I started to see genuine feelings. I think love can work on television, in the laundromat, anywhere.” (Pollard got engaged to New York 2 winner Tailor Made. What’s happened with that relationship will be revealed when Hollywood premieres in August.)
Flav: “I went through three seasons of Flavor of Love, 65 girls. For everybody, there is somebody. … (But) you can’t get discouraged just because you don’t find what you want out of 65 people. Maybe 66 might be the one.”
Michaels: At the show’s start, “I was very open. When every girl’s asking me, ‘Are you looking for love?’ I said I don’t know if I’m looking for love. I’m looking for someone I can really like a lot.” As the field is winnowed, “I become very close to them and it comes down to something, when I’m going all over it, I’m going, ‘Daisy has a smoking hot body. Kristy is beautiful but she’s an emotional wreck — and still married.’ That didn’t help. Ambre, for me, was the one I felt most connected to in every physical, emotional, on every level. And I really left there thinking something great came from it. Whether it lasts the test of time …”

Another thing too just to let you all know sometimes the reunion be on ITUNES a hour before it aired. Learn that secret last year.
flava flva Giving the Supreme Court judges rap nicknames I was sitting in my hot tub, flipping through the latest issue of The Source, The Bible of Hip-Hop Music, Culture and Politics, when my personal assistant Fai’sha said there was a Supreme Court Justice on the line for me.
“Which one?” I asked. I ain’t gonna interrupt some serious chillin’ for a junior justice like Samuel Alito.
“It’s the Chief,” Fai’sha said, brushing her apostrophe off her forehead.
“Okay, I’ll take it,” I said. With the possibility of a Democratic administration for the first time in 8 years, I got to keep the lines of communication open. I built up a lot of judgin’ experience on “Flavor of Love”, and I could end up bein’ a dark horse nominee for an open seat on “Da Court”.
FF: “Hello?” I said in a blase tone. I didn’t want to seem too eager.
JR: “Flav, it’s John Roberts.”
FF: “Heeey J-Boy–what you been doin’ with yo’ bad self?”
JR: “Oh, a little of this and a little of that.”
FF: “Stayin’ out of trouble, my man?”
JR: “Flav, every case we decide, somebody gets upset.”
FF: “I know what you mean. Every time I dropped some girl from Flavor of Love, she’d get all pissy with me.”
JR: “Ain’t that just like a woman? Listen, Flav, I wanted to ask you something.”
FF: “Go ahead and axe.”
JR: “It’s getting close to the end of our term, and I’d like to reward the justices with something special.”
FF: “A neck clock like mine?”
JR: “No, I was thinking more of a personal rap nickname.”
FF: “That’s cool.”
JR: “Well, actually, no. I understand in order to get one you have to go through a gang initiation, get a tattoo, maybe pull off a brutal carjacking.”
FF: “If you want to have any street cred, yes.”
JR: “Well, that’s going to be somewhat difficult.”
FF: “What you mean?”
JR: “We are officers of the highest federal court of the United States. It would be . . .”
FF: “Unseemly?”
JR: “Precisely.”
FF: “J-Boy, I got the answer for you. Go to rap star name!
JR: “What’s that?”
FF: “It’s the premier on-line Rap Star Name Generator.”
JR: “Really?”
FF: “Yep. Just type in ‘Ruth Bader Ginsburg’ and out comes”–here I paused while I went on-line and tapped on my laptop–”Queen G-Lady”.
JR: “Super,” the Chief Justice said. “I know she’s going to love that monicker!”
FF: “Flav knows how to please the la-dies!”
