DISASTERS

09.25.09 I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED

There is a show on VH1 called “Real Chance at Love 2,” and I don’t pretend to know what it’s about, but judging by the name and the network it’s about disgusting attention whores pretending to be in a dating competition in order to be on TV. But this is not the point of the story.

The point is that the women on the show were challenged to write lyrics for a song called “Animals are Awesome” and then perform it for their would-be paramours. And the result is beyond anything that you can dream. I was going to transcribe the lyrics for you here, then I stopped myself halfway through because I was like, “No, the world needs to experience this with their eyes and ears.” People, prepare to fall in love with pandas and tigers and elephants and, like, other animals.

Just to put this in perspective: if Ryan Jenkins stuffing the corpse of his wife into a suitcase and throwing it into a Dumpster after cutting off the fingers and removing the teeth after getting the marriage annulled because he originally met her in a Vegas strip club and married her two days later is VH1’s #1 reality TV story ever… this is #2. I’m not kidding. (extended, even more hilarious video below)

MEGAN HAUSERMAN

09.03.09 YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS.

hauserman

According to a Radar Online report, VH1 is giving empty vessel and murderer-magnet Megan Hauserman another reality show.

“VH1 is giving Megan her own reality show,” a source confirms. When ['Megan Wants a Millionaire'] was abruptly cancelled “they promised Megan her own show…that’s how they bought her silence.”

As for the show’s format, the source says it will probably move away from a dating-themed show and will unscripted despite Hauserman asking for a scripted show.

Dude, Ryan Jenkins did VH1 a favor. They had the perfect excuse to keep this hatchet-faced Barbie off the air forever, and they blew it. They didn’t need to buy her silence with a new show, they could’ve just strangled her, stuffed her in a suitcase, and tossed it in the garbage.

…too soon?

08.25.09 PAULA ABDUL GETS A NEW GIG TO SUCK AT

paula-abdul-mess

Paula Abdul has lined up her first job since leaving “American Idol” because she genuinely believed she deserved to make $10 million a year to slur nonsense in a drugged-up haze.  There was talk of her being on “Dancing with the Stars” in some capacity, but that didn’t happen.  And ABC replaced her on “Ugly Betty” with an actual actress because she demanded a private jet.  And rumors of her going back to “Idol” were quickly denied by Fox, because Fox is crazy but it ain’t stupid.

Anyway, you’ll have the chance to see Paula on basic cable when she hosts VH1’s “Divas.”

VH1 is reviving the “Divas” brand after a four-year hiatus. Performers include Adele, Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus and “Idol” winners Kelly Clarkson and Jordin Sparks… VH1 planned to announce the hire, but Abdul, true to form, leaked it on her Twitter account. “VH1 Divas” airs Thursday, Sept. 17. [THR]

I’m not being mean when I say Paula Abdul is absolutely horrible at what she does and shouldn’t be on television.  I’m just being honest.  I wouldn’t pay her $20 to wish my niece happy birthday at her birthday party.  She’s a GD train wreck crashing into a car wreck falling off a cliff and sinking a ship.  And that’s just not a safe thing to have at a children’s party.

POLICE BLOTTER

08.24.09 I THINK HE MIGHT’VE BEEN GUILTY

ryan-jenkins-suicide

The manhunt for Ryan Jenkins, the reality star charged with the murder of his ex-wife, ended yesterday when he was found dead in a remote Canadian motel, the victim of an apparent suicide by hanging.  Let’s go to the highlight reel:

Jenkins’ body was found in The Thunderbird Motel on a secluded road on the outskirts of Hope B.C. at the entrance to the province’s mountainous interior. His body was found in a room at the out-of-the-way motel…

[Ex-wife Jasmine] Fiore’s teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off, apparently to impede her identification. Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her…

Friends said Fiore was a model who worked mainly in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, doing gigs such as being bodypainted at parties… Court records showed Jenkins was charged in June in Nevada with a misdemeanor count of “battery constituting domestic violence” for allegedly hitting Fiore in the arm and was set to be tried in December.

Man oh man.  I hate to take death lightly but this is the greatest blog story EVER.  Here’s a list of the elements of this story, starting from square one: Reality TV. VH1. Playboy model (Megan Hauserman). Strippers. Playboy model (Fiore). Vegas wedding. Marriage annulled. History of domestic violence. Strangled to death. Fingers cut off. Teeth removed. Body in a suitcase. Suitcase in a Dumpster. Identified by breast implants. Escape to Canada. Motel. Suicide. Hanging.

That is amazing.  It’s like a Mad Libs of every joke I’ve ever told.  The only way this could have been better is if he had hanged himself while masturbating.  And there was a cat dressed as a police officer investigating.

MEGAN WANTS A MILLIONAIRE

08.21.09 FINGERS CUT OFF, TEETH REMOVED

ryan-jenkins-millionaire**hands suitcase to valet** “Take my wife… please.”

The Ryan Jenkins-suitcase-Dumpster Photoshop gets work for the third consecutive day, as police have formally charged the reality star with the murder of bikini model Jasmine Fiore.  In case you’re late to the saga, Jenkins was a contestant on VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire” who reportedly went on to win “I Love Money 3,” which has yet to air.  He met Fiore in a Las Vegas strip club, married her two days later (it was later annulled), then she showed up strangled to death in a suitcase found in an Orange County Dumpster the day after he reported her missing — and also a day after she was getting texts from an ex-boyfriend.  Full story here and here.

Phew.  That’s a lot of back story, but I always enjoy re-telling it.  Anyway, here are the new developments:

A police lieutenant said Fiore’s fingers and teeth had been removed, and prosecutors have asked that Jenkins be held on $10 million bail when he is found.

Authorities in Washington state said a man matching Jenkins’ description was seen boarding a boat bound for a remote area where it is possible to walk into Canada [Jenkins is from Alberta].

Yeeeeeee-ikes.  **avoids eye contact with Canada, backs away slowly** That is some twisted stuff right there.  I mean, it’s messed up enough to strangle someone to death, but you can at least be like, “Okay, crime of passion, it happens sometimes when people’s darker sides escape.”  Removing the fingers and teeth of someone you murdered with your bare (or possibly gloved) hands?  Dude, that takes a sick mind and an iron stomach.  Uh, or so I would assume.  As always, the lesson to be learned here is: always have a pre-dug grave in an isolated spot, just in case.

08.20.09 SUCKS TO BE YOU, VH1

ryan-jenkins-millionaire

In the wake of the news that “Megan Wants a Millionaire” contestant Ryan Jenkins is wanted by police for questioning in the murder of his wife Jasmine Fiore, VH1 has done everything in its power to pretend he never existed, pulling all “Megan” content from its website and removing the show from iTunes.  Kind of a bitch move, VH1.

But wait, there’s more.  Jenkins was also convicted in 2007 of assaulting his girlfriend at the time.  Oh, and on the night of Fiore’s murder, she received a text message from an ex-boyfriend.  TMZ says:

At some point in the evening, Fiore texted Robert Hasman, a former boyfriend with whom she was involved before meeting Jenkins.

We’re told Jenkins not only knew of Hasman, he was upset Hasman had been communicating with his wife while Jenkins was in Mexico shooting a reality show. We’re told Fiore texted Hasman on Friday night, saying she was going to travel to Las Vegas to see him.

Later that same evening, we’re told Hasman received another text from Fiore’s phone that just said, “suck it.” Police are exploring a theory that Jenkins may have seen the text Fiore sent to Hasman and then fired off the “suck it” message out of anger.

WOW.  This is a horrible, horrible story… and yet totally fascinating.  Further F-ing up VH1’s world, TMZ also uncovered that Jenkins was also a contestant on the recently-wrapped “I Love Money 3″ — and he won the $250,000 top prize.  I’m thinking they can make that check out directly to his defense attorney.
