Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen shocked the world when the two found "love" on VH1's reality TV show 'The Surreal Life.' Flav, the legendary hype man for Public Enemy, who'd once made his living telling young hip-hoppers: "Don't believe the hype!" seems to have forgotten his own advice. Brigitte, on the other hand, was married to America's favorite action hero Sylvester Stallone and had all but fallen off the face of planet pop after the two separated. So it came as no surprise when Flav and Brigitte found their respective careers resuscitated when their steamy and bizarre interracial union was spun off into the appropriately named show 'Strange Love.'

As the world watched in shock and awe (and horror, for some loyal PE fans), there was one question that went through all of our minds: are these two for real? Well, since Brigitte got married to Mattia Dessi immediately after the show ended, we all know the answer to that. But there were some things that we didn't know, and that's why we had Karu F. Daniels make the call. Listen to how it all went down.
