Check out Celebrity Blog at VH1 for some juicy behind the scenes moments of Charm School: The Reunion. Rich Juzwiak interviewed some of the girls one-on-one, and wrote about a few things that did not make it to TV. [Read the full article] 1. "I really think she hates me. She never said one good thing about me ever," Brooke [Pumkin] continued. "It's not like I took [my prom 'date'] home and sucked him off and [censored] him. I'm a party girl." I'll say! Brooke added that the bright side to being dubbed the "whore of Charm School," is that her club-hosting gigs are numerous. 2. Upon approaching the dressing-room door, I prayed: "Please let her [Shatar aka Hottie] have brought Cash. Please let her have brought Cash." Cash is Schatar's dog, a papered Pekinese, whom, as she told me in my interview with her, is part Persian cat. I always wanted to meet a cat dog. 3. Shay [Buckeey] also mentioned the story that ran on MediaTakeOut.com last month, claiming that Larissa and Shay got into a knock-down, drag-out brawl at a club. "They're such liars! That story was totally false. I mean, I'm glad they said I won, but…" She was equally mystified by the rumor that circulated suggesting she was dating Andre 3000. "I mean, I would..." 4. "So, what's up with your porno career?" Saaphyri asked Jen [Toastee] who'd just joined the group, as casually as if she were talking about Jen's outfit. Jen explained to Saaphyri that she doesn't have a "career" per se and that the video that made the most recent controversy, Toastee Exposed, was a sex tape belonging to her former boyfriend that was being released without her permission. 5. Larissa's [Bootz] mother sprung up out of her seat, ranting that Mo could have "changed how this was depicted." I think she meant the series as a whole and I'm certain that she meant Larissa's behavior, but again I say: COME ON. It was amazing that she somehow believed that Larissa needed any help coming from editing when it came to looking bad. Did she not just watch her daughter, minutes earlier, rant, rave and call Shay a monkey, live and in person?

Are these people emotionally unstable before the fame, or does fame bring out the worst in these celebrities?

Where's PETA When You Need Them, Michael Vick?

MrsGrapevine — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 19:10:29 GMT

Federal agents investigating possible dogfighting searched property owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick on Friday. According to ESPN, A dozen cars and a U-Haul truck were parked Friday on property owned by Falcons quarterback Michael Vick in what appeared to be a second federal raid of the wooded site that has been the focus of a dogfighting probe. According to the documents, dog fights have been sponsored by "Bad Newz Kennels" at the property since at least 2002. State and federal investigators concentrated their search looking for dog carcasses allegedly buried somewhere behind the property. This of course was a follw-up, during the first round some pretty horrific things were found: Fifty-four animals were recovered from the property during searches in April, along with a "rape stand," used to hold dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified for dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting, the documents said. During a June search of the property, investigators uncovered the graves of seven pit bulls that were killed by members of "Bad Newz Kennels" following sessions to test whether dogs would be good fighters, the documents said. Now, I'm not an animal activist, but something tells me this is just wrong. I must add that Michael Vick is not indicted or named in the dogfighting probe. His property and estate are just under investigation. www.mrsgrapevine.com
