Friday Afternoon Cheesecake: Hoopz' Next Career Move

Remember Hoopz from Flavor of Love? Don't worry; apparently being one of Flavor Flav's girlfriends (?) isn't the career death knell you'd think it would be. Hoopz will be featured in a photo spread in the October issue of King magazine.

::sigh:: And yes. We have pictures, and there’s even a video with bursting balloons...

Flavor Flav: Lost His Virginity at Age Six, Played With Boogers Much Later in Life

We all the Flav from Flavor of Love (and some of us even remember Public Enemy), but what makes the man behind the giant clock necklaces tick?

Complex interviewed Flavor Flav, about shit-on-crackers, boogers-on-burgers, and how Flav lost his virginity at age six…

Brigitte Nielsen To Go Under The Knife For New German Reality Series

Did we mention she’d be awake the entire time, as well? Not that it’s a surprise: once you’ve made out with Flavor Flav and gone to rehab on television, what else is left to do?

Of course, Brigitte claims she has a higher purpose in airing her cellulite removal, and we kind of believe her (she was so cute without makeup in Celebrity Rehab): "The secrecy in Hollywood is annoying.

Bryan Christian has worked as a writer for Epicurious, GenArt and ID magazine; a web producer for WWD and Condé Nast; and a cameraman for his friends. He's married with roommate and lives in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.

He's the coauthor of The No S Diet and author of The Year in Weird, along with hundreds of magazine articles. He lives near the beach in Los Angeles, just like the gang from Three's Company.

Nicole Ankowski has lived in Ohio, Oakland, and on the high plains of South Dakota, but is now proud to call Brooklyn home. She wrote for alternative weekly papers in the first two states, and tried to learn Lakota in the last. (The vowels can be tricky.) She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
