NEW PICS: MEET THE CAST OF THE 3rd SEASON OF VH1'S 'FLAVOR OF LOVE 3.' PREMIERES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2008.

VH1 has unveiled the third round of (Flavor of Love 3) thirsty-ass, pressed-ass, camera-hogging, windmill fighting women willing to work harder than Stevie Wonder at the Soul Train Scramble Board in hopes of becoming Flavor Flav's boo...well, at least temporary, seeing as thought there just might be a fourth season. Am I the only one wondering which wanna-be actress and soon-to-be aspiring video 'vixen' will be the first to bed down Mr. Flav? Yall know what they say, right? Beauty is only a light switch away. LOL! Look at that freaking face to the left!!! Is this the same face belonging to the man who Deelishis said broke her heart when he decided to get back with his 4th, 5th or 6th baby mama?

Anyway, check out the faces and aliases of the 20 girls who should not only receive a clock (cause Lord knows they don't know what time it is) but also be clocked dead in the face for putting themselves on national television to make fools out of themselves. As I perused through each girl's stats list, I thought to myself, 'this season may be just a wee bit better than the previous two. While there are some girls whose jobs hold such titles as waitress a.k.a. 'Hooters' girl and full time baby mamas, there are other women who actually have career-type jobs such as 22-year old 'Saint Lewis.' She not only works as a hair stylist...but she also happens to own her salon. And New York native, 'Bee Ex' who works as an IT consultant as well as a promotional model. Then you have 'Grayve', a 25-year-old real estate company owner from Holcomb, Mississippi. But what will definitely put a twist on this season's Flavor of Love is the set of identical twins, 'Thing 1' and 'Thing 2'

Flavor of Love 3 premieres Monday, February 11 at 9pm on VH1.


PEEP THE PICS OF THE NEW CAST BY CLICKING 'READ MORE AFTER THE JUMP!' ON THE BOTTOM LEFT.


FIRST ROW (LEFT TO RIGHT): Bee-Ex is a 30-year-old who grew up in the Bronx. She says that her upbringing gave her street smarts and made her a bit rowdy; Bunz is proud of the junk in her trunk, hence her moniker; DYMZ is a 22-year-old from Atlanta who comes equipped with the tired reality show catchphrase, "I'm not on the show to make friends."; 28-year-old El is also from Atlanta. She's a passionate Latina who describes herself as aggressive, rude, fast, and hyper.



+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

SECOND ROW (LEFT TO RIGHT): Grayve is a 25-year-old real estate agent from Mississippi, and she also tastes great when poured over turkey. At age five she changed the pronunciation of her name from "Yvonne" to "Y-Vonne"; Hotlanta comes from Georgia, of course. She claims she's intimidated by loud, aggressive people, which makes me think she's on the wrong show. This 27-year-old doesn't stand a chance; Ice is a part time DJ and a full time Hooters waitress in Michigan, which gives her that extra touch of class that Flavor Flav requires in his women. People often tell this 21-year-old that she looks like Paris Hilton, which is incredibly insulting; Myammee is, weirdly enough, from Georgia, for real. The 23-year old describes herself as a tomboy in a Barbie body who always has to get the last word in. Can you guess where she works? Hooters!


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


THIRD ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Peechee is a bit plus-sized, and also incredibly bubbly and upbeat; When she's not pulling Santa's sleigh, 26-year-old Prancer can often be found drunk and wearing sneakers with wheels in them; 26-year-old Houston native, Q-Tee, who certainly isn't one, wears a grill and has 13 tattoos; Rayna wants a man who is in touch with his spiritual side, which leaves me to wonder why the 24-year-old Chicago girl is on this show. She also works at Hooters, so I guess that explains it.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


4th ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Saint Lewis, who is from, um, Saint Louis, is a salon manager and party girl who is proud of the fact that she doesn't drink. The 22-year-old also considers herself a local celebrity in her Missouri town; 23-year-old Savanna is another Bronx girl. She'll lie, cheat, and steal to win Flav's affections if she has to; One girl who must have an interesting childhood trauma is Seezinz, a 25-year-old from Maryland, who says she's afraid of hair and intimidated by overweight people; 23-year-old Shore-Tee from Rhode Island, considers herself to be classy and beautiful.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

5th ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: 24-year-old Shy considers herself a "masterpiece." The Chicago native can sing, tap dance, rap, act, and model; When Sinceeer isn't holding the letter E hostage, the 26-year-old San Diego native is busy as a single mother of two; Thing 1 and Thing 2 are 26-year-old twins who hail from California. They finish each other's sentences, dress the same, and share the same laugh, which is totally creepy; 25-year-old Tik shouldn't be confused with the arachnid of the same name. After all, arachnids can't wear watches, and this Texan has over 60 of them in her obsessive collection.

Jermaine Dupri's father, Michael Mauldin, announced Wednesday (January 23) his plans to launch a label based on the popular Scream Tour, which was headed up by T.I. and Ciara last year under the banner Screamfest '07. Mauldin has also announced that R U The Next SCREAM Star? will be coming to a city near you in search of music’s next superstar. R U The Next SCREAM Star? is a national talent contest that aims to discover and establish unsigned artists; molding their dreams into reality.

When considering the enormous success the SCREAM Tour concert series has had and the amazing showcase from an A-list of performers, why not give undiscovered talent with extreme ambition a chance to shine? The Atlantic Records-distributed Scream Star Entertainment will also feature a revamped Web site, ScreamStar.com, which is set to include video highlights from each Scream tour, featuring the likes of Omarion, Ne-Yo and Bow Wow. Last year's monumental New York stop — which saw Jay-Z, Diddy and Kanye West join T.I. onstage — will also be included in the Scream Tour Anthology that's scheduled to go live on the site later this week. ...

Speaking of Kanye West, Dr. Jan Adams, the plastic surgeon who operated on the rapper's mother, Donda West, returned to CNN's Larry King Live on Tuesday to discuss the case more than two months after abruptly walking off the set of the show. According to The Associated Press, Adams said the fallout from West's death has impacted his medical practice "horribly ... it's almost destroyed [it]." West, 58, died at a Los Angeles-area hospital on November 10, a day after Adams performed plastic surgery on her, including a tummy tuck, breast reduction and liposuction. A coroner's autopsy report found that West most likely died of heart disease coupled with complications after plastic surgery, though an exact cause of death couldn't be confirmed. "The autopsy said what I expected," Adams told King, though he would not go into detail, citing patient-doctor privilege...

DIDDY IS STILL DIDDY; REP SAYS REPORTS OF THE MOGUL CHANGING HIS NAME ARE FALSE.

For some reason, I hate doing retractions, but in this case, I must. I guess Diddy just wanted to create a bit of a buzz before the new season premiere of Making the Band 4 Season 2: Battle of the Sexes, which is scheduled to air next Monday (January 28). Anyway, despite widespread reports that the millionaire media mogul had changed his (nick)name to Sean John, his rep clarified the situation to MTV News on Thursday (January 24). "Recent reports of a name change are totally false, he is still Diddy," the rep wrote. "He is currently in 'Sean John' mode as the upcoming Sean John fashion show is scheduled for February 8 in New York." Earlier this week it was reported that the 38 year-old rapper/mogul/actor had changed his stage moniker for the fifth or sixth time (depending on who you ask) since starting out in the music industry nearly two decades ago.

In the past, Combs has been referred to as Puff Daddy, Puff, Puffy and P. Diddy, before shortening it to Diddy in 2005.

SHAQ'S FINANCIAL STATS EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC; BALLER EARNS ABOUT $2 MILLION A MONTH; DOLES OUT $22 G'S ON MONTHLY MAID SERVICE & $1,500 ON CABLE..

WHAT KIND OF DISH NETWORK, COMCAST, DIRECT TV AND/OR ANY OTHER TV CABLE PACKAGE HAS YOU SHELLING OUT $1,500.OO A MONTH?!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE BARELY HOME, IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!! But I'll digress....for now.

Everybody knows that Shaquille O'Neal earns is paid $20 million a year by the Miami Heat. But where does all that money go? Thanks to his pending divorce, Shaq's monthly budget is now on the public record. Extra has obtained Shaquille O’Neal’s financial affidavit as part of his divorce files, which reveals he earns a whopping $2 million a month. In the court papers, it states that the basketball star not only spends about $22,000 per month on maid service, he also pays $1,500 per month for cable television and $17,000 per month on clothing. The documents also state that O’Neal spends over $23,000 per month at gas stations (which I can truly understand with today's high gas prices!), $6,730 on laundry and dry cleaning, $2,305 on pet care, $1,620 on music and magazines and $110,000 on monthly vacations? TO THE HELL WHERE?!!

And here's what really puts the lid on the jar: The $114,946 that's listed as "miscellaneous (personal)" -- for us common folk, miscellaneous can be anything from lunch money, feeding the meter, catching a cab, buying groceries, getting your car washed or even pampering yourself--whether it's shopping for a new pair of shoes, treating yourself to a movie or a new DVD, getting mani/pedi once every two weeks...you know...that's how we common folk spend our miscellaneous funds--but for folks like Shaq, I'm willing to bet the backyard (or is it farm?) 'miscellaneous,' could easily mean having a little 'pocket' money to drive up to the Benz dealership and cop a S600 series coupe without having to have to write a check for it. Lucky, wealthy bastard! LOL! It must be nice!

RUMOR OR REAL: SUGE KNIGHT AND PIRU GANG MEMBERS BANNED FROM COMPTON?

Seeking to further curb criminal activities, Compton has asked a judge to ban individuals identified as members of the Mob Piru street gang -- including rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight -- from congregating in a northeast neighborhood. Using a strategy employed by other crime-ridden communities, the court order would be the first gang injunction in a city with a long history of battling street gangs. Authorities contend that the Mob Piru gang has terrorized the neighborhood for years, with buying and selling of drugs, discharging firearms, robbing and assaulting residents and by creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.

For the last two years, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department gang task force has worked to get gang members off the streets with aggressive enforcement of immigration, housing and parole violations. "We've done it without an injunction," said Lt. Paul Pietrantoni, who heads the task force. "We have the lowest murder rate in 20 years in Compton. The injunction is just going to give us one more tool." But the proposed injunction is expected to be controversial because community leaders and others say it opens the door to police harassment of innocent residents. Knight, who is listed as a defendant, dismissed the injunction as "a publicity stunt."

"This is crazy," said Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records. "I'm a 42-year-old businessman, not a gang member. I don't even live in Compton anymore...This injunction names people who are already in jail -- and at least one guy who is long dead."

Henry "Hendog" Smith, who is also named in the injunction, was shot to death in 2002, according to news reports. Mob Piru members have gained widespread notoriety for their alleged links to Knight and Death Row Records, once home to some of rap's biggest names. But sheriff's officials say the gang is on the decline. The injunction would ban the estimated 200 members of the gang from congregating, carrying guns, using gang gestures, spray-painting graffiti, fighting or drinking alcohol in public and staying out past 10 p.m. Violators would be subject to arrest on misdemeanor charges, which could bring a $1,000 fine or up to one year in jail.

YING YANG TWINS TO VISIT THE DR. PHIL SHOW TO DISCUSS (OR DEFEND?) THE ISSUE OF WEARING SAGGY PANTS IN PUBLIC.

The issue of urban youth donning their sagging pants in public will be discussed before a nationwide audience. Community organization Hip Hop Government (www.hiphopgovernment.org) has expanded its "Pull 'Em Up" billboard campaign to additional cities in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex and is taking the campaign national. The organization's co-founders Jay Scroggins, Damon Wofford, and Chris Williams have been invited to appear on Dr. Phil's talk show, which will bring the anti-sagging campaign to a national audience when the show airs later this month. Dallas Deputy Pro Tem Mayor Dwaine Caraway, the Rev. Al Sharpton and rap duo Kaine and D-Roc of the Ying Yang twins will also make an appearance. I don't even think I want to watch that episode! LOL!

The featured guests were invited to discuss the controversial topic of whether government should regulate the way people wear their clothes and will also discuss hip hop artists accepting responsibility for the effect of their music and lyrics on the hip hop culture. "We are excited for the opportunity to address issues that concern our culture," expressed Williams. "Too often, when members of the hip hop community are in the media, it's for something negative. It feels good to know that we are being invited because we are recognized for our positive contributions to the community."
