I Love Money: Pumkin Talks About Megan, Credits Spitting Incident for Fame
 Pumkin (Brooke Thompson) will always be known as the girl who spit on New York (Tiffany Pollard), which practically made the first season of Flavor of Love good for TV. At the time, Pumkin's failure to tell Flavor Flav about her past appearance on Blind Date led to her elimination at the end of the episode and during the elimination ceremony, a near-brawl occurred between her and New York when Pumkin claimed New York was an aspiring actress. New York, on the other hand, claimed that Pumkin was calling her out so Pumkin then spit in New York's face, and then ran away.
Two years later, Pumkin was cast in yet another VH1 reality series, this time on I Love Money. Unfortunately, people still associate Pumkin with saliva. And while that's an odd correlation, Pumkin doesn't seem to mind as she credits her spitting incident for her new found fame.

Brandi C. Talks About Her Elimination on 'I Love Money'
 On this week's I Love Money, Brandi C. tearfully announced that she wants to leave the show. Craig gave her a chance to think over this impulse but Brandi had already made up her mind. And so, she quit and her check was voided. While everyone seems baffled by her decision to give up, Brandi C. explains that it was all part of her game plan and the fact that her friendship with Megan means more to her than any amount of money.
“After I realized Hoopz was Paymaster, I had a feeling I'd be targeted just because I would be the easiest person to get rid of without pissing anyone else off. But Pumkin and Toastee turned on Megan and me that day. We were doomed,” Brandi C. told VH1 in an interview.

I Love Money: Preview of "Pole Riders in the Sky"
 On the previous episode of I Love Money, the remaining 9 contestants were still reeling from 12 Pack's elimination. After the shocking cut, Heather starts to feel distant from a long-standing alliance with The Entertainer. The challenge was a particularly disturbing one – the Spit Olympics – reminiscent of Pumkin and New York's fight on I Love New York. Heather was eliminated.
Touted as one of the most exciting and bizarre episodes yet, the 10th episode of I Love Money which airs tonight at 9pm on VH1, will see the money-lovers cling to stripper poles for dear life. Aptly titled “Pole Riders in the Sky,” this challenge becomes a matter of life and death as the loser of the challenge will be eliminated right there and then.

Hoopz on 'I Love Money': Lots of Hookups Going On
 “It's like a fantasy world. You're stuck mostly in a beautiful mansion; sometimes, like on I Love Money, on a beautiful island. You're trapped in a house with however many other contestants. This time (on I Love Money) it was boys and girls together. There were a lot more hookups going on.”
So said Hoopz, real name Nicole Alexander, who has moved with boyfriend and professional basketball player Boo Jackson to Blount County in Louisville, Tennessee.

I Love Money: Hoopz in Cover of King Magazine
 Winner of the first season of Flavor of Love and current I Love Money contestant Hoopz is gracing the cover of the latest issue of King magazine, which doesn't only feature her stunning body, but is described as one of the more creative covers in a long time. It shows Hoopz, real name Nikki Alexander, in a revealing two-piece bursting out of a transparent wall of plastic.
King magazine is a monthly men's publication that primarily targets the African-American and urban audience. It features articles on music, often hip-hop and R&B, as well as sports and fashion. There is also an accompanying interview for the cover model, who is always scantily clad. The magazine is supposed to be an answer to the proliferation of mainstream men's magazine that promotes “stick-figured woman” for its models. King leans towards the more curvaceous, full-figured models.

I Love Money: Chance Figures in Shay Buckeey Sex Tape

I Love Money: No More Reality Shows for Mr. Boston
 After a rather embarrassing exit from I Love Money, Mr. Boston says he has had it with reality shows. The nose-picking exhibitionist says he now enjoys being his goofy self as an accountant. That, of course, doesn't mean he'll forget and forgive 12 Pack for what he did, and for those “backstabbing b*tches” that are the girls of I Love Money.
“I think I'll probably be retiring from the VH1 reality shows now,” he said in an interview. “Mostly because I Love Money wasn't the most enjoyable experience for me. There's not much incentive to keep doing these shows. U nless I get my own show or something crazy like that, or I'm offered more money, this will probably be my last experience.”

 If his fans are to be believed, of course, Heat left I Love Money far too early than they hoped. Despite the abrupt elimination, however, the Queens, New York native still describes his I Love Money experience as “great” and “unbelievable.”
"It was unbelievable, really. I mean, it was great. I believe I was one of the better characters, in every aspect, from the visual to the comedy aspect to even the drama aspect. I brought a little bit of juice in each department."

'I Love Money' Brings in Ratings for VH1
 Looks like VH1's formula of bringing together contestants from previous reality shows Flavor of Love, Rock of Love and I Love New York has worked. The season premiere of I Love Money, which aired last July 6, has helped place the network on top of the ratings.
Variety.com reports that the reality show, which pits contestants from its previous seasons against each other for a chance to win a quarter of a million dollars, got around 2.3 million people watching its premiere. Coupled with another VH1 reality program Brooke Knows Best—which got a little under two million viewers—the network was tops among younger viewers, although the title of cable ratings leader still went to USA Network.
