Last night as everyone watched the Flavor of Love Season 3 Reunion, Flavor Flav revealed that he was not going to continue his relationship with any of the ladies from his hit VH-1 reality show. He chose “Black” and “Thing 2″ as his last two women. It was obvious from the beginning that his attraction to “Black” was purely physical. On the reunion special she claimed that she had serious feelings for Flav, but we all debate if she had him on her mind purely to further her modeling career. “Thing 2″, this season’s winner came across as someone who genuinely cared for Flav. However, Flav pulled a trick out of former Bachelor Brad Womack’s bag and turned away the very women he lead on. In the final elimination ceremony he spoke of how the two had so much in common and he could truly see himself settling down with “Thing 2″. So, what happened? Apparently Flav reunited with his 7th baby’s mother once again and he even proposed in front of all of the contestants. Really classy Flav, going by his track record its hard to imagine the relationship lasting. The lights will go dim for Flav just like they did for Brad Womack after the stunt he pulled last season on the Bachelor.

She was especially thrilled to see big sister Britney who hadn’t visited Kentwood for over one year. Jamie Lynn is due sometime in June, no one has revealed the gender of the baby and it was not obvious since balloons at the Serenity mansion were pink, blue, and brown. Jamie Lynn’s fiance’s family plans to have a baby shower, sources say this could be a smoke screen for a shot-gun wedding.

Nick Hogan got off easy for his charge of felony reckless driving and driving under the influence. As many of you may recall he got into a near fatal car crash in August of 2007, read all about it here. As a result of the accident Nick had superficial injuries and his best friend John Graziano will never be the same. The family of John Graziano appeared in court last week and recommended that Nick receive 1 year in jail. Instead Nick will face 8 months in jail, 5 years of probation, and 500 hours of community service. The judge was pretty generous considering John Graziano will be a vegetable for the rest of his life because of Nick Hogan. In the courthouse the Hogan family tried to soften the blow by making excuses but that didn’t help their case once John Graziano’s family made their statements. We all are waiting to see how this event will effect the image of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

In yesterday’s court proceedings the judge admitted he’s quite impressed with Britney Spears‘ progress. We would all hope that she would make progress under the supervision of Mama and Papa Spears. Britney will be granted a few visitations a week and overnight visits are coming up next. Everyone is anticipating that Britney will regain 50/50 custody. Before granting Britney 50/50 shouldn’t she be living independently? The sad part is that Britney maybe able to eventually regain custody but she will never be able to restore her career. She’s at the point where no one will take her seriously, even if she changes her image. Her time has past and she should enjoy all of the money she has made and try to stay free of alcohol and drugs for the sake of her children.

America’s favorite friend looks like should could have replaced ex husband Brad Pitt with a bigger star- John Mayer. Everyone thinks of John Mayer as a funny looking frumpy dressing guy. Due to his track record with women, he’s become one of the most sought over men in Hollywood. We’ve seen him with some of the hottest A-listers Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Jennnifer Love Hewitt, Minka Kelly, and its rumored he even shared a lip lock with blogger Perez Hilton! Out of no where photos start surfacing of John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston. We are all hoping it works out after the way she was treated by Brad Pitt. Everyone is hoping that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston stay together, but judging by his track record with women it doesn’t look too good for our favorite friend.
