Jose Canseco, Omarosa Join 'Surreal' Cast Mar 30, 8:10 AM (ET) By The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - VH1 has selected seven new has-beens to stop being polite and start trying to revive their careers on "The Surreal Life." The fifth season of the reality show, now in production, will premiere Sept. 4, the cable channel announced Tuesday. In the show, a group of not A-list celebs are taped 24 hours a day while living and playing together in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. The new cast includes "America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickinson, former slugger Jose Canseco, Sandi "Pepa" Denton of Salt-N-Pepa, Bronson Pinchot from "Perfect Strangers," Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth from the first season of "The Apprentice," British model Caprice and motorcrosser Carey Hart. The first two seasons of "The Surreal Life" aired on The WB before the show moved to VH1. Past cast members include Flavor Flav, Charo, Ron Jeremy, Verne Troyer, Vanilla Ice and Corey Feldman. --------------------------------------
VH1 has selected seven new participants to stop being polite and start trying to revive their careers on the reality pity party "The Surreal Life." The cable network announced the fifth season is currently in production. In "The Surreal Life," a group of definitely not A-list celebs are taped 24/7 while they live and play together in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. In this photo supplied by VH1, most of the cast gathers in Los Angeles, Monday, March 28, 2005. They are, from left to right; Carey Hary, "America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickinson, Sandi "Pepa" Denton from the rap outfit Salt-n-Pepa, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth from the first season of "The Apprentice," Bronson Pinchot from the old TV sitcom "Perfect Strangers" and British model Caprice. One remaining cast member, former slugger and steroid user Jose Canseco, didn't arrive in time for the photo. (AP Photo/VH1, Mark Mainz) ---------------------------------------------- Okay....I just gotta say, this promises to be crazy. I can only imagine The Apprentice's Omarosa and Top Model's Janice (the FIRST super model!) going at it. It'll be like having a house with both Rodan and Godzilla in it!

Dang it! I just realized that (in the title of this thread), I incorrectly said the next season starts on Sept 5, but it actually starts on Sept 4! Since folks see the title of a thread a lot more than every post inside it, it might be best to correct the date in the title....or some people might miss the premiere! Mods, can you change the "5" to a "4" in the title of this thread? TIA (I realize it's still a long time til September.....but I thought I'd point out the mistake anyhow!)

Andy Dick thrown off Surreal Life 5 set; Janice Dickinson scares Omarosa. Visiting the set of The Surreal Life 5, Andy Dick acted like -- get ready for it -- a dick. An "insider" tells Page Six that "producers and security had to wrestle him to the ground in order to throw him off the set. Andy was completely out of control." Dick was making a guest appearance; he isn't one of the five cast members. Page Six also reports that there was a confrontation between Omarosa and Janice Dickinson that involved a knife. According to the Post's account, "During a photo shoot with the whole cast, Omarosa became hysterical at the sight of Janice holding a prop knife, our spy said. Omarosa told Dickinson to 'back the [bleep] up with that knife,' causing Dickinson to taunt: 'Who wants a haircut?' Omarosa then exploded in a tirade of expletives, scaring the rest of the cast so much that they all left the shoot." Sadly, we have to wait until September to see all this play out on TV. http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/the_surreal_life_5/2005_Apr_15_dick_dickinson_omarosa

Here is a similar article that had one additional tidbit....about how Janice referred to Omarosa: SURREAL GOINGS-ON AT VH1 http://entertainment.iwon.com/celebgossip/pgsix/id/04_15_2005_6.html ANDY Dick was such a jerk during a guest appearance on VH1's "The Surreal Life" that "producers and security had to wrestle him to the ground in order to throw him off the set," said an insider. "Andy was completely out of control." The show's fifth season, which just wrapped, starred Jose Canseco, Sandi "Pepa" Denton, Bronson Pinchot, London model Caprice Bourret, and two other women who didn't get along at all — Janice Dickinson and Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth. Dickinson referred to the former "Apprentice" as "Omagrossa." <snip>

Not in my book. Janice is more like Simon on AI, Oma is cruel to ppl...the way she treated Nikki on Fear factor sealed it for me. I also think Oma is fake, Janice can be bitchy but she doesn't come off as a big phony.

I'm not a big Janice Dickenson fan, but she would never falsely accuse anyone of something as bad as racism, and she wouldn't whine and cry and pop pain pills if a little piece of plaster fell on her head.

...mind you, in the past, Janice didn't need plaster to fall on her head to pop pain pills!

So once again the Omarosa haters have fallen into the trap! Wonder why she keeps coming around? Cause she's the villian you love to hate which means you will watch to see if anything bad happens to her. Which is why she was on Fear Factor and how on this crazy show. And she'll be on more things, she's had a pretty long 15 mins of fame..for most reality show folks. Heck does anyone know what Bill is doing the winner of the Apprentice. Hey who's the person who won the 2nd season? Geez I forgot already.

Trap? That's not a trap....unless of course you can't stand her so much you want her to disappear. I don't enjoy a reality show nearly as much if there isn't a classic villain in it. This year's "Apprentice" is boring, just as this year's "Survivor" is. But Omarosa made "Apprentice" a LOT more fun....just as Johnny Fairplay did on "Survivor" a few seasons ago. The only villain on this year's "Amazing Race" is Boston Rob....which has also held my interest as I hope against hope each week that he gets eliminated in a most humiliating way! The first two episodes on last year's "Amazing Race" (with Alli and Donny, who got eliminated in the 2nd episode) made the whole season worthwhile for me! The best shows always have an evil "villain"....and Omarosa (by her own design) fits the bill perfectly! I really don't like her but I also don't care if she never goes away....as long as she's in a reality show cast, there is bound to be a great deal of tension and drama, which always adds a greater dimension to these shows! What would "Star Trek - TNG" have been without the Borg, or "A Christmas Carol" without an Ebenezer Scrooge, or "Alias" without an Arvin Sloan? They would all be too boring to bother with! I say, "YAY" for Omarosa....the villain we love to hate! Her being there isn't a "trap"....it's HIGH DRAMA!

I saw an ad for Dr. Phil's May shows and he is going to have Omarosa on his show and it appears that he grills her about her attitude. But May is sweeps month so she and Dr. Phil have to put on a good "show" for the ratings.
