Gold-digging and a smorgasbord of STDs are abundant in the upcoming VH1 reality series Megan Wants A Millionaire.
Rock Of Love and Charm School alum Megan Hauserman, who was famously attacked on television after a spat with Susan Osbourne, is back on VH1, the network that made her a reality star.

America watched as Megan had her heart broken by Bret Michaels on VH1’s Rock of Love 2 and then missed out on the money on I Love Money. But now she’s back with a vengeance to find both love and money with the goal of becoming the ultimate trophy wife. This summer, the power lies in Megan as she puts 17 male moguls to the test as they compete for her attention…These eligible, affluent bachelors will get the opportunity to show Megan what they’re really worth. The guys will compete in challenges ranging from a high stakes Las Vegas poker tournament to shelling out money in a charity auction in order to win a one-on-one date with their favorite arm candy.
Megan Wants A Millionaire premieres Sunday, August 2 @ 9/8c. Beginning Wednesday, July 29, fans can catch a sneak peek of the first episode on VH1.com.
E! “Living Lohan” Cancelled — “They Wanted Me To Fake A Pregnancy,” Dina Says
E! is no longer Living Lohan.
The network has pulled the plug on The Lohan Clan’s summer reality series after only one season. Dina Lohan used the show as a vehicle to break her 15-year-old daughter Ali into showbusiness and change the poor public image of her controversial family, but the matriarch stage mom claims E! had other plans.
“I only did the show to defuse the rumors,” she told Life & Style at the Nylon and Nike sportswear event on Tuesday. “And then they wanted us to do these crazy things, like my son cheating on his girlfriend, me faking a pregnancy. I was like, ‘No, no, no! They had ideas that weren’t conducive to our ideas.”
Nonetheless, Dina promises fans haven’t seen the last of the Lohans.
“We’re working with another network on another idea,” Dina revealed. “Yeah, not reality per se, but a realistic show.”
