Mark Wahlberg is reportedly concerned about co-star Christian Bale, who may be risking his health in an effort to lose weight for his role as a drug addict in the upcoming film The Fighter. "Christian is a method actor. If a role calls for him to look like a drug dealer, or he has to play someone who hasn't slept in a year, he'll go without food to look the part," says a source, "But the danger comes after he takes off that weight, and then eats everything in sight to put it back on for the next role. That kind of yo-yo dieting can be deadly. Mark and Christian are friends, and Mark is concerned about him." Hopefully this doesn't mean they're done, professionally. [ONTD]

I Love Money: Battle Of The Blondes

Tracie — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 14:00:00 EDT

The "Of Love" universe of VH1 (Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, I Love New York) is full of total skanks. Not to be completely judgmental, but let's get real here: the cast members make for good TV because they behave so badly. On last night's reunion of I Love Money, Megan, who wore a bikini for every scene the entire season and was hated by almost everyone in the house, was admonished by Heather, the stripper from Rock, and Pumkin, the cheerleading coach from Flavor, for being a "dirty, filthy, whore, skank." It's hard to tell where they draw the line, because Heather was wearing a stripper dress slit up the sides past her ass cheeks, and Pumkin has both a foul attitude and mouth. Oh, and Heather took the opportunity on stage to tell one of the cast members she'd slept with to "go home and learn how to make people come."

Rock Of Love's Heather Schools Us On The Business Of Reality TV

Tracie — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:00:00 EDT

Heather Chadwell is perhaps best known as the 30-something stripper on Rock of Love, then later as the most recent player eliminated on I Love Money. When she's not filming reality shows, she earns extra cash "hosting" at bars around the country. VH1 followed Heather around during one of these engagements in NYC, and she was super candid about how to have a "career" in reality television, how it is indeed a business, and how she amps it up when being filmed.

For The First Time In Reality History, Rodeo Has Difficulty Crying

Tracie — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:00:00 EDT

I don't really watch I Love Money to get involved in the competition but because I'd rather just kind of sit back and observe these people get drunk and make out and fight; it's kinda like reading a magazine but only looking at the pictures. But on last night's episode, the challenge was so good: The contestants all had to make themselves cry. They were allowed to use tools like onions, cigar smoke, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper, but one member of each team was restricted from using the tools and was only allowed to cry on command. Obviously, hilarity ensued. Clip above.

I Love Money: Big Boys Do Cry

Tracie — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:00:00 EDT

Due to the stress of competition and constantly having cameras in their faces, it's a common practice for reality TV contestants to cry — if they're women. But whenever a guy cries — like in the case with Mr. Boston on last night's episode of I Love Money — it can come off as kind of pathetic and hilarious. Wait…actually, we usually laugh when the women cry too. Never mind! Clip above.

I Love Money: Pumkin May Or May Not Have An Eating Disorder

Tracie — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 15:00:00 EDT

It sort of goes without saying that a lot of the cast members on these VH1 dating shows are kind of gross. Not because of how they look, but because of how they act. On last night's episode of I Love Money, Pumkin — the one who explained on the first episode that she's "a little ghetto" — decided that she needed to turn on the waterworks in order to win sympathy with Destiney, the girl who, ironically, would decide whether or not Pumkin would go home or stay in the game. Pumkin sobbed as she told Destiney that she used to have an eating disorder, and used to be a "big bitch." However, we're not that convinced that she's that good of an actress, so we're thinking that maybe there's some truth to her admission. Whatever the case, the plan worked, and she stayed. Clip above.

I Love Money Is The Root Of All Schadenfreude

Tracie — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:00:00 EDT

I Love Money, VH1's new show in which cast members from Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and I Love New York compete for cash, was pretty much everything it promised to be: Trashy, gross, awesome. In this clip, from the first episode, Pumkin, an alum from the first Flavor of Love — whose biggest contribution to pop culture, thus far, has been hocking a loogie on New York during elimination — says that if she wins the money in question, she will get boob job to fit in. This statement might be sarcastic, but it's questionable as to whether she has a grasp on how to even structure a joke like that. Anyway, this leads to a verbal altercation in which one girl calls her a "saggy boob sock." Also, Pumkin's nipple is exposed for pretty much the entire time. Classy!

Our Favorite Reality Dating Show Castmembers Return For I Love Money

Tracie — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 17:00:00 EDT

This is an extended trailer for the new VH1 reality show I Love Money, which features our favorite cast members (Rodeo, anyone?) from Flavor of Love 1 & 2, Rock of Love 1 & 2, and I Love New York 1 &2. It's akin to those Real World/Road Rules Challenges, and there's no point to the show other than to win money and stab people in the back. which is just about the perfect thing for all these reality "stars" to be involved in. The challenges are based on events that happened in the shows in which they first appeared, for example, there's a spitting challenge, like when Pumkin spit on New York, and a joust in match on a giant bed, from when Saphyri beat that one girl up five minutes into moving into the FOL house. I Love Money premieres July 6. Check out more Rodeo after the jump.

You have to sit through White Boy talking for a while, but the Rodeo segment is great:
