More "Flavor of Love" News

Following up on this week's earlier news from the bizarro world of Flavor of Love... it seems that final-3 contestant (and launcher of the "spit heard 'round the world") Pumkin has become a victim of her own fame (or should I say infamy???): she was fired this week from her job as a substitute teacher in the Bakersfield (CA) school system.

On Monday of this week, Pumkin (real name: Brooke) was informed by the Kern High School District that her services "were no longer required." It seems that school officials felt that her celebrity status as one of Flavor Flav's also-rans was "distracting" students. Supposedly, the school in which she had most recently been teaching has already been dealing with students "sticking their heads into her classroom" just to get a look at the one-time nemisis of Flavor of Love's New York, and thus school officials feared that things were only going to get even crazier.

Come on - like YOU wouldn't be doing the same thing if this woman showed up as a teacher in YOUR school!


REMINDER: The Flavor of Love Reunion is scheduled to debut on April 2 at 8:00pm on VH1. Please set your TiVos accordingly.

Arrested Update

Recently you read in this space that beloved comedy Arrested Development would be back for 26 new episodes, courtesy of a two-season pick-up by premium service Showtime.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but there may be one slight complication to Showtime's plan: creator Mitch Hurwitz HASN'T SIGNED THE DEAL yet!! Supposely, he's having "second thoughts," citing the exhaustive workload associated with producing a show such as Arrested. Hurwitz has until June to pull the trigger, as the cast's holding contract will expire then.

Come on, Mitch: Showtime has delivered the contract, and will likely pony up whatever cash you're looking for. SIGN THAT DEAL!!!
