by Jason Hughes, posted Dec 13th 2011 2:00AM
When he received an invitation to perform with Taylor Swift at one of her concerts, T.I. was conflicted. On 'T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle' (Mon., 9PM ET on VH1), he talked about how such an appearance might impact his "street cred."He was just days out of prison when Swift invited him to join her Atlanta concert. While he wrestled with a dilemma, saying, "The dilemma becomes street cred [or] Hollywood." He even went so far as to think about some people calling such an appearance "career suicide."
But T.I. decided to do it, though he was still cautious to make sure he kept it clean for this performance. "I could see the headline now," he said. "T.I. corrupts the minds of 20,000 youngsters at the Taylor Swift concert."

Leif Garrett's been battling substance abuse problems for years, which is why he took part in Season 4 of 'Celebrity Rehab.' However, he stormed out of the Pasadena Recovey Center, later telling 'The Los Angeles' Times that producers encouraged him to relapse for dramatic purposes.Last night Bob Forrest and Rachel Uchitel checked up on Garrett as part of 'Celebrity Rehab Revisited' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1) and things did not go too well. Garret told the pair that he'd been taking lots of painkillers following a serious motorcycle accident, and then he admitted dabbling in marijuana and booze.
That's when Bob criticized Garrett's "cavalier and laissez-faire attitude toward alcohol," which did not sit well with the former teen idol. Saying "I really do not appreciate it," Garrett walked out. Again.
Heidi Fleiss Shows Bob Forrest Her Brothel on 'Celebrity Rehab Revisited' (VIDEO)

Heidi Fleiss didn't come out of 'Celebrity Rehab' clean and sober and ready to start a new chapter in her life. So Bob Forrest was pretty skeptical when he went to the brothel she's currently running to check up on her on 'Celebrity Rehab Revisited' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1)."What do you think 'Celebrity Rehab' did for you?" he asked her. "Nothing?"
"When people ask me about it, I always say it was the best thing that ever happened to me," Fleiss said. Mainly, as she explained it, because she could finally see what a mess she was. So it almost sounded like the fact that she could see how bad she looked on television had more of an impact than any of the treatment she received.

Why should basketball wives have all the fun? These women proved that 'Baseball Wives' (Wed., 9PM ET on VH1) can be just as crazy and have just as much out-of-control fun. In fact, at a backyard party, Jordana proved that she's that girl.You all know the one. Get a few drinks in her and get her near a pool, and she's out of her dress and in the water faster than you can say, "She's gonna do it."
Jordana convinced Brooke to join her in the underwear festivities, saying, "What's hotter than two gorgeous girls jumping into a f****** pool half-naked?"
Emily Gives Kimbella a Revenge Toast on 'Love & Hip Hop' (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Nov 29th 2011 1:00AM
You have to admit, Kimbella kind of had it coming on this week's 'Love & Hip Hop' (Mon., 9PM ET on VH1), even though it was a low blow for Emily to show up with her friends to try and steal some of the joy from Kimbella's magazine cover release party. (She was featured on the cover of Black Men Magazine.)We want to know how long it took Emily to come up with her "heartfelt" toast. After pretending that she didn't realize it was a party for Kimbella, she then decided to toast. Remember, it was during toasting that Kimbella revealed she had slept with Emily's then-boyfriend. So what happened next was inevitable ... and clever.
"A toast to you Kimbella for making the cover," Emily said with a wicked smile. "You are the most qualified. You've had the most black men in you, including mine." Zing.
Bob Forrest Checks in With Nikki McKibbin on 'Celebrity Rehab Revisited' (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Nov 28th 2011 5:30AM
Former 'American Idol' contestant Nikki McKibbin has been one of the success stories of 'Celebrity Rehab' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1). So when Dr. Drew Pinsky and Bob Forrest saw her glazed eyes and slow speech in a video update, they were understandably concerned. Forrest made the trip to check in in McKibbin and see what's going on in her life.It turns out that she's being medicated with addictive prescription meds like Lithium and Ativan, which was a huge concern for Forrest. McKibbin said she'd been very forthcoming about her past with addiction, so it was a surprise that her doctors were putting her on these particular drugs, though she said these were to wean her off of other drugs.

Now you don't have to feel sad if you couldn't make it to Las Vegas for the iHeartRadio Music Festival back in September. Thanks to VH1, highlights from the 'iHeartRadio' (Wed., 10PM ET on VH1) experience made their way to our televisions.Featured performers included Carrie Underwood, The Black Eyed Peas, Steve Tyler, Nicki Minaj, Coldplay and others.

It was Gaga all out!
Somaya Reece Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction on 'Love & Hip Hop' (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Nov 22nd 2011 6:10AM
As a performer, one thing you don't want to have to worry about is your wardrobe. With everything else going through your mind, those clothes just need to stay in place and stay out of the way. Unfortunately, Somaya's pants didn't cooperate as she came out to perform her rap on 'Love & Hip Hop' (Mon., 9PM ET on VH1).Unfortunately, it was at an intimate venue as well, and the pants were cut in such a way that the fact they'd come unbuttoned and unzipped a bit was painfully obvious. And no, despite what anyone might have said, that wasn't supposed to happen.

One of the most important and challenging things for any recovering addict is staying clean once they get out of rehab. 'Celebrity Rehab' chronicled their time within the treatment facility, but with 'Celebrity Rehab Revisited' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1), we got to see the staff checking in with former patients out in the real world to see how they're faring.Head Counselor Bob Forrest got Jaimee Foxworth to agree to a drug test, but didn't tell her it would go back 90 days. It was an extra check to make sure she'd been able to stay clean, and the results came back fantastic. No marijuana, sleeping pills or any other drugs that they could detect.
Kelly Clarkson's 'Unplugged': What You Won't See on Television
by AOL Music Staff, posted Nov 17th 2011 2:00PM
When VH1 invited AOL Music to the taping of Kelly Clarkson's 'Unplugged,' of course they jumped at the chance to attend. So on a cold and rainy autumn afternoon, AOL Music trekked across lower Manhattan to join a very excited audience made up primarily of the 'Mr. Know It All,' singer's biggest fans. The energy in the crowd was frenetic to say the least, and when Kel finally took the tiny stage, she almost got a standing ovation before singing even one note. But sing she did, treating the audience to a sampling from her current hit CD, 'Stronger,' as well as a few gems from the past.Before the very special episode airs tonight, Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8PM EST, AOL Music is giving you a taste of what to expect from KC's triumphant return to the small screen, and a few awesome off-camera moments the channel likely won't be airing.

'Love & Hip Hop' (Mon., 9PM ET on VH1) kicked off its second season with a special hour-long installment, so they could be sure and catch every nuance and angle of Chrissy laying the beat down on new castmember Kimbella.At a gathering where Emily broke the news that her relationship with Fabolous was through. It was Kim's decision during this to reveal that she'd been sleeping with the rapper while Emily was pregnant with his baby that elicited the response.
Emily looked almost numb, but Chrissy came unglued. "The audacity of you to think that it was okay to do that to somebody was just blowing my f****** mind, and I lost it," Chrissy admitted later. "It was not my finest hour."
Randy Jackson is Giving Celebs an 'Aptitude Test'

Can you imagine what life would be like if Kim Kardashian wasn't a reality celebrity? Somehow, the thought of her being anything else is terrifying, but 'American Idol's' Randy Jackson is on a mission to find out.Jackson, who teamed up with Shed Media, has created 'Aptitude Test,' a one-hour series for VH1, where each week celebrities get the chance to see what might have happened if they never had their big break in Hollywood. After retaking their high school career aptitude tests to determine their suggested occupations, the celebrities will then disguise themselves and undergo on-the-job training before revealing their true identities to their bosses and co-workers.
Female Stripper Heats Up Jackie's Bachelorette Party on 'Basketball Wives LA' (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Sep 13th 2011 1:03AM
Things got a little weird on 'Basketball Wives LA' (Mon., 8PM ET on VH1). It's not weird that strippers were invited to a bachelorette party, per se, though the inclusion of a female one is a little different. What makes it strange is that this is Jackie's bachelorette party.It's weird for two reasons. For one, this is Jackie's 16th wedding. At what number do you start skipping the bachelorette party? The girl's been married 15 times already ... hey, maybe she just likes bachelorette parties and weddings.
The other reason is the season-long hate-fest the women have been slinging toward Draya for her past as a stripper. If that is such a horrific thing to do, and worth putting her down and judging her so harshly all the time, then how could you invite some to your party?
'Celebrity Rehab': Bob Discovers Steven Adler Lied About His Sobriety (VIDEO)
by Jason Hughes, posted Sep 12th 2011 3:42AM
Sex, drugs and rock and roll is an expression almost as old as rock music. For Steven Adler these things may be too interconnected for him to successfully tour with his band and find sobriety, as we saw on 'Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew' (Sun., 9PM ET on VH1).When Dr. Drew's Head Counselor, Bob Forrest, stopped in to check on Adler, he was disappointed to find the former Guns N' Roses drummer was still smoking marijuana, and apparently on a daily basis.
To emphasis the severity of Adler's addiction, Forrest asked, "Why couldn't you just not smoke pot for a day? That's what I want to point out to you. You knew I was coming here."

Reality shows love their dramatic twists, and never is it more dramatic then to throw one at the contestants in the final episode, which is exactly what happened on 'Famous Food' (Wed., 8PM ET on VH1). But on the way to that moment, we learned that Vinny doesn't take constructive criticism well.He stormed off before the announcement of the winner. His ego got so out of control, he started telling judges Mike Malin and Lonnie Moore of the Dolce Group about how he's a movie star and they should have some respect.
Who knew that being a big-time movie star with a Screen Actor's Guild statue in your house means you know everything about the restaurant business?
