TV comes alive!
Alive with reality! As long as this strike lasts, that’s all we’ve got going on. Love it or learn to read.
But let’s accept the world we live in for the moment, and look at what we’ve got to work with in the next few months, thanks to the geniuses at VH1:
Brett Michaels keeps a penny jar in his pants.
Rock of Love 2
Brett Michaels again searches for love amidst a sea of novelty thongs and ratty hair extensions. In the previews he says “I know one of these girls is going to be my rock of love”. The only way to make this statement true is by believing that to Michaels, “rock of love” = “recovering incest abuse survivor with enough star power to remind people who I am for another 4 months.” Season 1 favorites Heather, Lacey, and Rodeo all make appearances - just like last year, but VH1 bought Brett a better weave.
Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant
Scott Baio does some stuff with some chick and blah blah blah, maybe robs a bank or punches a baby? I don’t care. How cute is he? I’d watch “Scott Baio is 47 and puts together a table from Ikea.”
Celebrity Rehab
The reality show we’ve all been waiting for. Dr. Drew (Dr. Phil must be so pissed) leads Daniel Baldwin, Brigette Neilsen, Chyna Doll, Jeff Conaway, Mary Carey, and Tom Sizemore through rehab. Wow, right? Wow. I really hope they have to put on a musical at some point in their “recovery”. In researching this (yeah, I do RESEARCH for you people) I found press releases for this show going back almost a year, with different cast lists attached. The only name always on the list was Chyna - that means that for the last year Chyna has known she needed to go to rehab, but held off for the cameras. Up next, Chyna Doll’s celebrity colonoscopy.
Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant and Rock Of Love 2 premiere this Sunday at 9 and 10pm, respectively. Celebrity Rehab starts this Thursday at 9pm. I did not get paid for this post, I am - perhaps - a chump.

In the picture of Brett with the ladies..he looks like a lady.
I am sooooooo hoping he asks Heather back in the house circa Flavor of Love 2.

Bret Michaels was awful in the 80’s..and he’s awful now.
They should have chosen another washed up pop rocker that has cultivated the “bandannas make the tears stop falling” look.
Remember the good ole’ days when men would have the decency to at least insult your intelligence with something that TRIED to resemble hair?
Hulk Hogan, Bret Michaels and Leif Garrett have lowered the bar.
No fun in watching Chachi assimilating into Fatherhood.
The fun was watching him trying to leave behind the alluring wild nights on the town with that toolshed Johnny V.
