Since she became a household name on Flavor of Love, I Love New York & New York Goes to Hollywood, Tiffany Pollard has been spending more and more time attending well publicized events. The most recent one was today when she was photographed at the Steve Olson’s Coming Out Party Art Show held at a private gallery.

She’s looking good these days, don’t you think?

Recently some photos have hit the internet of Pumkin from Flavor of Love and I Love Money with a man that is supposedly her fiancée. Well, according to some sources close to the reality star, the whole thing is a “publicity stunt” and she is not engaged.

In the picture, Pumkin is wearing what appears to be an engagement ring. When asked about the ring the unnamed source called it “a promise ring…if you even want to call it that.” Some people just can’t stand when the cameras and attention are not on them!

Becky Buckwild, veteran of both Flavor of Love and Charm School was looking good on the red carpet at the Really Awards. She now has her own radio talk show where she talks the dirt about reality TV.

On the season finale of New York Goes To Hollywood our girl Tiffany is put in quite a predicament. Chuck meets with her to tell her that the homely looking movie producer that she and her mother so adequately offended at Chuck’s house several weeks earlier, was offering her a part in a major film.

But there is just one catch…she must lose the New York persona altogether. Producer lady wants to hire Tiffany not the HBIC New York. Well, Tiff takes the script home and has Vos come over to go over it with her. But now that she is unattached, it seems that she has something else on her mind as well. She puts the moves on her acting partner:

This week on New York Goes to Hollywood, Tiffany is still dealing with the houseguest from hell…her mother. Except Lizza isn’t because she refuses to come back to work until Tiff’s loving mother hits the road. Can you blame her?

So after Sister Patterson spends a good deal of time screaming at Lizza on the phone to “Get here now!”, Tiffany gets a call from Chuck saying that she is going to sing background vocals for a group called Little Jackie.

First she has to go to vocal lessons with mommy dearest. The vocal coach has her doing some crazy stuff and she makes some pretty wacked out faces.

This week’s episode of New York Goes to Hollywood is by far the funniest yet. Tiffany’s agent Chuck gives her a call and tells her that she is booked for a Japanese commercial about an energy drink. The commercial is for free and may or may not air in Japan.

But Tiff is stoked anyway. She and Lizza decide that she needs to brush up on Japanese culture so they go off to do some heavy research. First stop: dry cleaners.

Check out the October issue of King Magazine to see Hoopz on the cover. They haven’t released the article that goes along with her appearance in the magazine, or any other pictures, but I bet she’ll have a lot to say about her fellow castmates on I Love Money and Flavor Flav.

This week on New York Goes To Hollywood, Tiffany actually gets a call from an interested manager with auditions already lined up for her. Talent Manager Chuck Binder sees Tiffany’s potential and wants her to sign to his agency. He sends her to a couple of auditions right away.

The funniest thing about this episode is the girl that always seems to show up at every audition that Tiffany’s up for. It almost raises the question: did they plan this because they knew how Tiff would react?

Well, the premiere of New York Goes to Hollywood aired Monday night on VH1. Tiffany Pollard AKA New York asked the channel to help her become a real actress so they agreed to set her up in a house for thirty days in Hollywood.

The show began with Tiffany interviewing potential assistants. After several interviews, including one where the interviewee says, “You don’t need an assistant, you need therapy.”, our beloved New York hires Lizza to help her reach stardom.

Flavor Flav is enjoying a new generation of fans, since doing three seasons of Flavor of Love. And the pioneer of the hip-hop sidekick persona brings that new fandom to his band Public Enemy, as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. According to Chart Attack, and the blogosphere in Québec, fans were rapping along and going nuts all night, as Chuck D, Flavor Flav, DJ Lord, and The S1W rocked the house in Montréal.

The band hit a snag, while entering Canada from the U.S. Professor Griff, and the band’s bassist and guitarist were not allowed to cross the border. Still, with just DJ and drums, they performed the album in its entirety to a grateful crowd.

Check out a little bit of the fun in this video:

I have to say, while it’s great that young crowds can relate to the issues in Public Enemy’s songs, it makes me sad that the same social issues are still relevant 20 years later. They really are legends who deserve a lot of respect for the stance that they take. If only we could just get it.
