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.

Welcome to

I Love Money,

I was left rather disappointed with
I Love Money this week. Another one of my "Fantasy
I Love Money" picks went home leaving me with a whopping 140 points. And I was planning on writing a big tribute to Megan's demise but NO! She's still there.
I was so annoyed with
ILM that I started watching
New York Goes to Hollywood again. The show still reeks of artifice with New York going to a nail salon to study Japanese culture or thinking "break a leg" means that the person wants to do her physical harm. However, by the fourth episode, Sister Patterson has entered the scene and is saving the show with her outright rudeness and over-the-top behavior.
So I decided to pit the two women I love to hate against each other for a Vs. piece. This Super Skank Wednesday I give you:
Megan Hausermann Vs. Sister Patterson, The Battle of the Hateful Shrews.

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.

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...

Fans of skanktastic television will love this news. Kim Kardashian and her ass, both stars of E!'s
Keeping Up with the Kardashians, are
launching a line of perfume. She announced this news on her blog, which, by the way, is one of my favorite blogs. It's wonderfully delusional and self-congratulatory.
I'll indulge you in a sample, "It has always been a dream of mine to start my own perfume business, since I love to mix fragrances together and come up with new and different scents! I hope you understand my
total excitement as I let
you, the readers of my blog, become
the first to know that I am creating my own fragrance!!!" I love the emboldened words and gratuitous use of exclamation points.

VH1 diva Tiffany "New York" Pollard is back this summer for another chapter in her celebreality life.
New York Goes to Hollywood premieres in August and will follow your favorite H.B.I.C. as she leaves Tailor-Made behind and tries to make it in Tinsel Town.
To rev up for the new show, VH1 put together a
set of promos that have New York acting as classic Hollywood characters. She plays Dorothy from
Wizard of Oz: "Toto, where the f*ck are we?" She plays Marilyn Monroe in that classic scene where the blonde starlet walks over the sidewalk grate. However, New York uses the breeze from the passing subway car to dry her nails and her nether regions. Whatever works, right? Finally, New York plays Forrest Gump and imparts some wisdom about life and chocolates.
The videos are after the jump. All three are stupid and unfunny. And all three prove the New York's new show is going to be a blast. Check it out and let me know what you think.
New York Goes to Hollywood premieres August 4th at 9 p.m. ET on VH1.

There's been a lull in trashtastic programming lately. I'm stuck watching
So You Think You Can Dance (some of the those Latin ballroom costumes are a little slutty) and
Secret Diary of a Call Girl (scripted skankiness). I long for VH1 to start their summer of skanktacity. We got a little taste last night with the
I Love Money casting special. Check out my review after the jump.
