Now let's discuss another reason why some celebrities feel they need to broadcast their lives to the world. One reason could be that a celebrity has been out of the television industry and wants to come back. They may need the money, want to reclaim their fame or prove that they are not a one hit wonder. VH1 is really advocate about trying to restore a celebrity's fame. Some shows that they have produced have been:
- Rock of Love (Bret Michaels)
- Flavor of Love (Flavor Flav)
- Breaking Bonaduce (Danny Bonaduce)
- Celebracadabra (various celebrities i.e. Kid from Kid -n- Play, C. Thomas Howell)
- Celebrity Fit Club (various celebrities i.e. Da Brat, Screech, Angie Stone)
- Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew (various celebrities i.e. Brigiette Nielsen, Seth Binzer)
- Hogan Knows Best (Hulk Hogan)
- My Fair Brady ( Chrodtopher Knight from The Brady Bunch)
- Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant
- The Salt-N-Pepa Show
- The Surreal Life (various celebrities i.e. MC Hammer, Verne Troyer, Vanilla Ice, Emmanuel Lewis)
Let's look at Flavor Flav a little closer. Flavor Flav was a rapper with the group Public Enemy starting in 1984. One of his biggest hit single was "Fight the Power." His last hit and potentially the end of his career was in the early 1990's. His reality TV show debut was in 2004 with The Surreal Life on VH1. A spin-off show then started to broadcast his love relationship with Brigitte Nielsen called Strange Love in 2005. In 2006 he stared in his own show to find the perfect his perfect love, Flavor of Love. Was he successful?
YES!! Flavor of Love had three seasons. And from that show, I Love New York and Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School debuted. He has blown up more now then probably of his whole career in the 80's and 90's. If I had to rate his comeback, I would give it an A.
