Pumkin News

Try as she did, the lovely, misspelled Pumkin couldn't work her magic with the great Flavor Flav on the reality TV smash Flavor of Love.

But boy, she sure can work the photo booth at the Del Mar Fair in San Diego County. For just $5, you can get your picture taken with her.

You San Diegans reading this at home - what the heck are you waiting for? Go down there! Pumkin will even autograph it, too! No extra charge!

And you thought there was no life after reality TV quasi-fame. If only we could get Jennifer Toof thrown in for an extra $10...

We can't get enough of former Flavor of Love girl Pumkin.

The news that she's taking part in I Love Money this summer has set our reality TV-loving hearts on fire.

Before we see Pumkin on that train wreck of a show, though, we swear we've seen her on CNN recently. Perhaps we have her mixed up with someone else, though.

Here's a look at Pumkin, but doesn't she look a lot like...

Ah, Pumkin.

Just writing the strange nickname of Brooke Thompson brings back great memories of the Flavor of Love and Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School contestant who stood up to Tiffany Pollard in a battle for Flav Flav's heart.

In the end, each lost. Or maybe they actually won.

Either way, here's a photo tribute to the reality TV star known as Pumkin:

Stop staring at Pumkin nude photos for a minute and pay attention: In a recent interview with Curve magazine, Brooke Thompson (aka Pumkin) talks about life on reality TV shows.

Oh, and what it's like to be attracted to both sexes.

Do you identify as lesbian or bisexual?
I consider myself bisexual. I am attracted to both sexes. Women are beautiful and men are gorgeous. However, I connect more with women. When I kiss guys I just do not feel the same vibe. There is minimal connection.

When did you first think that you might be queer?
In high school I dated guys and was the typical cheerleader who always dated the star football player. But it just never felt right. I had so many guy friends but I never really connected with them. It was when I finally followed my heart that I found true love. She knows who she is.

Has your being in the media spotlight made dating difficult at all?
I think it has been a challenge for the girls I have dated since the show because I do get a lot of attention, mostly from men. It has changed my life in a way because everywhere I go people want pictures or autographs or just to say that I am their idol for spitting in the bitch's face!

How has coming out changed your life?
I think it has become more challenging. My friends don't care either way, and a few of my family members are cool with it. My mom, on the other hand, hates it. But, at the end of the day, you have to make yourself happy and live your life the way you choose to.

Do you expect it to have any effects on your career?
I don't think so, because before Flavor of Love I was the same person as I am now and I had no problem with appearing completely straight on the show. I hope that is does not hurt my career. Hollywood is so accepting. I do not think they care what you do on your own time as long as you are good at what you do and keep the viewers wanting more.

So do you plan to continue working in reality TV?
I love reality TV... I am what they call a reality TV whore, meaning I audition for everything, not meaning that I'm an actual whore!

Any plans to break into mainstream acting?
I am open to that as my next move. I love reality television, but that's all I know at this point. I would love to branch out into movies eventually, but right now I am just trying to extend this 15 minutes of fame I have been given. Pumkin might remain as a memory, but America has not seen the last of Brooke.

I've read that you never had a deep romantic interest in Flav. Do you think that's true for other contestants on the show as well?
Flav is an amazing person. He is so much fun to be around and has such a positive outlook on life. He is a sweetheart and an all around great person. But tha's where it ended. The difference in our upbringing made it hard for me to understand what he was saying half the time.

Each and every girl on the show had a motive for being on Flavor of Love. Out of the 20 girls, I do think there is one who went there for Flav and only Flav. Whether it be to further a modeling career, or to break out into acting, each of us had our own motive. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Stop thinking about Pumkin nude for a minute.

Instead, ask yourself which celebrity this Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School contestant looks like. According to the vixen's MySpace page, there are a few possibilities.

Leading the way are a pair of young beauties: Hayden Panettiere and Amanda Peet. Then again, the former is 17 and the latter just had a baby. So you may not wish to associate either with Pumkin at the moment.

Tara Reid and Anne Hathaway also resemble this reality TV star, at least according to this unscientific study.

But is there any famous female not included on this list that ought to be?

Ever wonder what became of suitors from I Love New York that got the boot before the season finale? No?

Well, we're gonna tell you anyway: Mr. Boston went on to date a former Flavor of Love contestant and a current member of Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School. That's a big shock, we know.

But DC Livers of Black Press Radio spoke to Mr. Boston about his time on I Love New York and his relationship afterwards with Pumkin. While the two are no longer dating, here are a few facts Mr. Boston relayed about himself and this oddly named ho bag:

• Pumkin is into threesomes*
• Pumkin knows what she's doing in be
• Mr. Boston has a "mild case of OCD
• Mr. Boston is seeing a hypnotist to help him stop picking his nose
• Mr. Boston is well endowed
• Tiffany Pollard gave Whiteboy her number
• Whiteboy got punched out the night before the Reunion Show*

The asterisk (*) indicates things that may or may not be true. But Mr. Boston assumes them be the case.

When you're a low-rent reality TV star and looking to make a name for yourself... you damn well better look good. After all, no one's going to make you a trophy wife or give you a million bucks based on your brains or personality. Well, Survivor is a bit different. But whatever.

Here's a few reality TV fashion highs and lows from the past week ...

Pumkin (Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School)

Yes, the incorrectly spelled "Pumkin" revealed last week it was her right to fight! However, showing her back side and revealing what kind of undies she prefers? Yeah. This is a fashion don't. Keep your panties hidden, babe. Mo'Nique would surely concur.

Schatar (Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School)

Look. Ladies. If we are going to try and impress Mr. Winery himself, don't you think you should wear heels that you can actually walk in? Seriously, girl. Lose the heels, try flats. Do something. So you can walk. God.

Amber Alchalabi (The Bachelor)

One way to insure you will be getting a rose: go on a solo date, jump in a hot tub wearing a cute little bikini and shake that thang! Obviously, Andy Baldwin wants to hit that piece. Therefore, this is a fashion "do." Amber Alchalabi might not receive such a positive response from her home town, though.

Yau Man (Survivor)

Another fashion "do," as you don't have to be Jeff Probst to know that a hat is a must-have item on the islands.

Yau Man knows how to rock that hat, which is one of the reasons for his success in Fiji. He is always cool, calm and collected on Survivor - more so than the just-departed Mookie - and there's no doubt that this stylin' and practical head accessory has something to do with it.
