Well, no one ever said that finding true love was easy, especially for a chain smoking girl from the big city with a rep for being a major trash talker, but New York (formerly of Flavor of Love) is back and ready to pick up the shattered pieces of her nicotine stained heart and give the ol’ L word one more go. That’s right, she’s decided to weather the storm one more time, on I Love New York 2, coming soon to VH1.

So get ready to laugh and cover the kids’ ears because here we go again, folks - but this time it’s going to be different. New York is determined to find true love, but - after Season 1 – refuses to leave all her heart in the hands of the producers who failed her so miserably last time. So here’s what’s going to happen this time around: 5 contestants in her stable of studs for ILNY2 will be picked by her fans. “I think my fans know who’s best for New York,” she says. “They better not @#%^ me over!”

So America, now it’s up to you. Enter the competition or cast your vote. If you can get online, you get to play. Are you the ultimate reality star? Do you have the eye it takes to select the right dudes for New York? Could you be her man? If so, we need your help!

COMPETE FOR NEW YORK’S LOVE
Do you really want a chance to win New York’s heart on national television? Well, then you better get out the video camera and let us know why you’re better than those 20 knuckleheads from season one.

It’s simple, really. Sign up for the competition, check out the submission requirements, and get busy. Create a profile that sells YOU, pimp that you are. Create and upload an introductory video highlighting all your Mac-a-docious qualities, and include a few still photos of your fly self to complete the package.

There’s 3 Rounds total to determine the big winners. Each round has its own submission requirements. For instance, in round two, we may ask you to upload another video highlighting more of your finer qualities that are sure to attract NY’s attention. If you’re one of the lucky (profoundly deserving) contestants with the highest number of votes when the round ends, you move on to the next round. Oh, and tell everyone you know to vote for you. Cause, that’s how you win. We made up a few rules… but we’ll leave the breathtaking submissions and the voter lobbying power completely up to you.

Remember, unless you tell us why you’re ‘the one’, we’ll never know. And, in the end, 5 insanely deserving gentlemen will grace New York with their charm, their love, their compassion – and the 19 cameras that will probably follow them everywhere – as cast members on I Love New York 2.

VOTE
Do you have that ultimate eye for casting? Have you found your favorite ’12-Pack’ (or Mr. Boston) for this season? Here’s how to do it:

1) Register to be a voter.

2) Dive in to the ultimate collection of the most mind blowing, jaw dropping, and heart pounding contestant profiles you’ve ever seen. Who do you like? No, not for you, for New York. The quiet and shy guy, the meat head, the gangster with the club foot?

3) Vote for your favorite. And if you really want him to win, tell your friends to vote for YOUR favorite as well! He with the most votes moves on. Those with the least are losers before the show even gets started.

*Note – Voting is limited to 1 vote per person / per computer / per day - however, you can vote for as many different people as you want all day. If you have a favorite, come back each day and cast a vote for them. Also keep in mind that the votes reset back to zero for each round, so it’s important to support your favorites each round.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!
New York has given you the power to help choose her man (and taken it away from us, but that’s ok, we’re not mad. Well, our casting people are but they’ll find other jobs). So if you’ve ever said “Gee I’m the perfect man for NY” or “Hey, I know the perfect guy for NY” then now it’s time to get off your butts and shine for all the world to see. This is your chance to wow the masses with your brilliant personality and blissful demeanor, or determine the fate of some unknowing schlub who thinks he has what it takes to be a contestant on I LOVE NEW YORK 2.

NEW YORK NEEDS YOU!

In the latest installment of WWE.com’s Superstar to Superstar, The World’s Largest Love Machine, Viscera, takes a few minutes to have a rendezvous with I Love New York star – and Flavor Flav’s most famous castoff – Tiffany “New York” Pollard. What happens when two people with an insatiable appetite for love get together during the most romantic time of the year? Check out the following transcript of their conversation below:

New York: Hi!

Viscera: Word up, New York, baby, how’re you doing?

NY: I’m doing good, baby. So good to finally talk to you.

Viscera: Yeah, baby. So glad things are going real well for you.

NY: Yes, they are.

Viscera: How does it feel to have such a successful show? After being on Flavor of Love, to be on top of the world?

NY: It feels wonderful. I’m having the time of my life – it’s such a shock, surprise ending. I mean, who would have thought I’d have my own show and all, especially after the way Flav left me. It’s like a dream come true. It was negative, and now it’s a positive, and it’s just glorious living in the moment.

Viscera: You know Big Vis’ opinion means a lot in the world of love. I just want to say Flav did make a mistake when he didn’t pick you the second time around.

NY: Thank you. You know I get that from men, women and children. Even little old ladies tell me, “You’re so fabulous. I can’t believe he didn’t pick you.”

Viscera: You are indeed fabulous, mama. I saw you on TV recently and I noticed you had two new additions to your body …

NY: [Laughs.] I think it’s a working plan.

Viscera: I just wanted to say it’s just more New York to love and it’s a good thing.

NY: It is a good thing. I’m having fun with the new additions. You know they’re looking really good right now. I’m filling out my tops in a new way, and I’m loving it. Those are the girls.

Viscera: So how does it feel to have so many men at your beck and call, wanting to be you, wanting to be with you and just wanting to make you happy? How does it feel?

NY: It’s by far one of the craziest situations right now because I get men coming on to me left and right. They’re like, “New York, can I get a shot?” I seriously feel like I can have a shot at any male on Earth right now. And they’re feeling me constantly right now.

Viscera: And if The World’s Largest Love Machine is feeling you, you can bet I’m sure every man on the planet is feeling you, baby.

NY: A lot of them are, and I’m loving it, too.

Viscera: So tell me about this little Chihuahua you have, and this palace you have the men building for her. How does it go?

NY: Yes, her name is Your Majesty and she’s my daughter. She told me one day, “Mommy, I want my own place.” I’m like, you know what, I’m going to make these guys build you a place. So I said, listen you guys look y’all come up with a design, let me see what you got, let me see your creative side. I wanted to see how strong these guys were who could measure and drill and do all that good stuff. They made the house. She picked what house she wanted. … It was cool.

Viscera: So at this point, are we down to the [final] Lucky Seven [contestants on I Love New York] yet?

NY: We are down to the Lucky Number Seven. And I’m so excited about it. When you tape the show like this, you kind of forget what you said and what you did. So, it’s cool for me to just kick back and watch the interactions with the guys. Myself, I can’t figure it out – I know the show comes on tonight – and if I’m not mistaken, there’s an interesting episode called “A.A.” And I’m just happy to see what is going to happen because you know I forgot. [Laughs.]

Viscera: I just want to say personally that none of these guys are worthy of you.

NY: I’m going to have to come meet you.

Viscera: You need to drop those chicken dinners and get with a winner.

NY: Oh, boy, yeah! [Laughs.]

Viscera: So is there anything you want to say to all our great WWE fans out there that I’m sure love you as much as I do?

NY: I just want to say thanks to all the wonderful WWE fans. It’s a pleasure to be on the Web site and give all my little point of views on the show and everything. Most of all, if you love New York, I love you back. If you hate me, I love you anyway. Thanks WWE!

Viscera: I think the people that claim they hate you love you the most, baby.

NY: That’s crazy because it’s the ones that claim they hate me are the ones that can tell me my every move – from the hat I have on to the way I twist my hair.

Viscera: Exactly. Those are the ones that won’t miss an episode. It was definitely nice talking to you. You are a gorgeous woman, and I wish you all the success in the world.

NY: Thank you. It was great talking to you. I feel like we’re old friends already.

Viscera: Absolutely. Hopefully, one day we’ll meet each other.

NY: We will. What’s your sign?

Viscera: My sign is Aquarius. Yours?

NY: I’m a Capricorn. No wonder we hit it off.

Viscera: Oh, it’s in the stars. Is that right?

NY: Yes, it’s in the stars, baby.

Viscera: Oh and guess what, I’m a breast man, too.

NY: Oh, so you must be loving the new additions.

Viscera: It’s much pleasure talking to you. Much pleasure.

NY: Same here. Thank you, honey.

So are you from Rochester or Syracuse?

You know what baby? Actually I’m from upstate New York, New Hartford New York. So that’s even farther up there. It’s past Buffalo, it’s cold, it’s just a weary little city.

And now you’re putting Upstate New York on the map.

You know what baby? Yes. I’m definitely putting Upstate New York on the map and I’m happy to do it.

You’ve been described as the “Grand Diva of Arbitrary Emotions.”

What? Are you serious?

Well that’s what it says on VH1.

Well you know what baby, I really don’t go on the ‘net that much because I don’t have that much time to do stuff like that. But if that is out there for me, you know I’ll take it. I’ll be that. I’m that then. Okay.

It’s all about the internet.

It truly is. I should be ashamed of myself but I’m not. I don’t really get online as much as I should but that’s a great title to hold.

What do you in your pastime?

In my spare time, I’m basically giving a lot of attention to my nails and my skin. I’m a real huge skin person. I’m constantly washing my face making sure it’s clear and clean and making sure my nails are clean. I’m just a big skin and nails person. I hope that doesn’t sound too weird but that’s what I do in my spare time — making sure that everything is on the up and up.

You save that for ‘Essence’ magazine.

What? (laughing loudly)

What was your life like before all of this television stuff? Were you an aspiring actress or something like that?

Seriously, yes I was. I was an aspiring actress. And I still am. Basically nothing has changed since the show except the recognition. Now when I walk down the street I’m easily recognized. I mean that’s the only thing that has changed in my life.

Who is Tiffany Pollard and who is Tiffany Patterson. You’re referred to one or the other and I’m confused? What’s the difference between the two of them?

Well you know I am here to set the record. Tiffany Pollard P-O-L-L-A-R-D, that’s me. That’s my last name and that’s who I am. Tiffany Patterson is basically, uh (pause) well I could tell you how that went about; My mom and my dad aren’t married. My mom’s last name is Patterson but I’m carrying my father’s last name. That’s the name I grew up so that’s my real name, Tiffany Pollard.

It just got a little confusing with all the names. I thought they were aliases. I was about to say you got more aliases than Jennifer Garner.

(laughing) That could be a little confusing.

Now tell me about this show. What will make this show different from ‘Strange Love,’ different from ‘Flavor of Love 1′ and ‘Flavor of Love 2′?

The thing that makes ‘I Love New York’ stand out from all of those other shows is that fact that I am really — I’m not saying that Flav wasn’t now, but there have been times when he said he was looking for a real good friend– me, no, no, no I’m looking for my one and only. I’m really looking for love. Everything was real on his show too but the thing that stands out the most is that I really got to know these guys on a personal level. When I say that I don’t mean intimately, I mean more so asking them questions that Flav didn’t really ask on an individual level. But for me, I’m really looking for a man. Not a friend, a guy, but a man — a real man in my life.

Well what exactly are you looking for outside of just “a man”? What qualities were you seeking when you were filming this?

That’s a great question. When we were filming the producers they wanted to know what was my type, in terms of looks. For me, I don’t really have a type when it comes down to looks.

Well after you pined for Flavor Flav, you obviously don’t.

(scream) You know what, I ain’t even going there with you. I’m going to leave that alone.

I love Flav and I think he’s hilarious. But come on.

He’s styling, he’s cute and everybody (pause) is beautiful in their own way. But [for] me, my type is someone that meshes well with my inner being — someone who can deal with the fact that sometimes I have my days when I’m problematic and sometimes I’m going to have my days when I’m going to be on his side. Someone that can definitely take me on as a whole. That’s what I was looking for.

So it’s not a physical thing?

Oh, absolutely not. Looks never mattered to me.

Oh okay because you have a motley mix of guys on this show — from the rooter to the tooter.

You know I had to do it like that.

So how long did the show take to produce?

It took about a good three and a half [weeks], I’ll say.

So it’s going to be packaged. And how many episodes are we getting?

You guys are going to get ten luscious episodes.

Now I read an interview with you and you said that a woman wanted you to urinate in her drink so she could be like you?

Oh God, yes. Oh my God (screaming). It’s funny that you brought that up because I guess these interviews really do get posted, chile. Yes she did. Yes she did really do me like that in the bathroom.

Where were you? What kind of bathroom was that?

Oh my God, you know New York is always getting her party on. I was clubbing. I don’t know if they want me to give them a plug so I’m not going to say which club I was at… you know it was in crazy ass New York City.

And then you responded to her that she would have to pay you money to do that for her, but I want to know what would be the price for you to do that?

(laughing) Let’s just say that her purse wasn’t able to hold all the money that I was looking for in order to have to do that.

Oh okay. So we all watched your evolution on the television. On the first season, I liked you on the first season. Then you came back and then you were like thin…I was like what did she do to herself? And then we see these new photos of you and you’re a bit bustier.

Okay.

So tell me about your physical transformation?

Oh absolutely (giggles). I’m not going to say that I’m the Oprah Winfrey of dieting but I do happen to fluctuate a lot with my weight, and Season 1, that was me, lets say 20 pounds heavier than I usually am. And then on Season 2, I came back on the real thin, thin, thin side because I don’t know when to quit. And when something’s going good, I keep going. And that was definitely too small, too thin for me. So right now I am a bit busty and I guess all of my weight is going to my bust line and I’m not mad at it either.

Did you get plastic surgery?

I sure did. And? I’m just playing baby. I get along with the twins right now. And we get a long fine and we look really good in out little blouses and stuff, so yes I did, I got my breast done.

The reason why I ask that question is because you have this presence on camera that kind of exudes a confidence. So, knowing that, most confident people really don’t feel they need to enhance themselves unless they have a deep driving emotion about it. That’s why I wanted to make it a point to ask you about your recent endowment.

Yes. And if I can just rebuttal real quick, that is so amazing because I am one of the most confident women that I know besides my mother. The reason why I really went and got a breast job was because, onceagain, I was tired of my weight fluctuating in that area… I was so sick of it. I was like ‘Hey, we gotta make this a permanent busty type thing.’ That’s the real reason why I really got my breasts done. It wasn’t really because I wasn’t happy with what God gave me. I was just tired of him giving it to me and taking it back on certain days.

That’s funny. That’s cute. So is Flavor going to be on this new show?

Oh boy (laughing). I think I’m going to have leave that one alone. But you know Flav and I are great friends and anything is possible.

Is he a part of the production team since this is a spin-off of his show?

… Not that I know of. I would say that if he’s a part of the production, I didn’t know about it. They kept that a secret.

So what happens to you at this point, where are you in your life today as far as the acting pursuit, and your romantic entanglement at this point?

I like you. You’re a funny guy. I love it. I love it. You just said something and I’m not going to tell you what you said but that word you just used… I’m just going to leave it alone. Oh my God. You have insight. I just want to tell you that me as an individual I am so content, I’m so happy, I’m proud, I’m pleased and I cant think of life going any better for me than it is today. I’m excited. I’m ready to take off and I have taken off before the show and I will take off before the show?

Have you been drinking today?

Drinking?

Drinking liquor?

As in water, and Iced Tea and as in Diet Coke, yes.

What’s your favorite alcoholic beverage?

(screaming) I am not a lush. Not everyday. But I love my vodka and Red Bull.

What kind of cigarettes do you smoke?

You know what baby, I try to take it so easy on those cancer sticks …but I do smoke Newport 100s.

Why do black people like Newports so much?

I think black people like Newports because we like the most bang for our buck and Newports are the strongest cigarettes out there so we’re …going to get the strongest cigarettes that exist. I’m sorry but that’s the way we’re going to do it every time.

What’s your favorite color?

My favorite color is black.

When is your birthday?

January 6.

So this [was] a big weekend for you?

Absolutely. Yes.

What’s your favorite type of cuisine?

Oh my goodness. I’m going to go with stuffed crab artichoke dip, lobster dip. I love seafood.

Who’s your favorite designer? Do you have one?

I love Michael Kors. That’s mom’s favorite designer. You know, whatever she loves I love.

Your mother wears Michael Kors!?

Yes. She loves that man. She can’t stay away from him.

Oh my Lawd. What does she do for a living — besides wreak havoc?

(chuckle) You know I’m going to call her after I get off of this phone. You know I’m going to tell her. She’s a flight attendant but before then, her dad and her mom spoiled her so she gets whatever she wants.

Yeah. I think that’s what drew me to her. She has this whole aura of entitlement.

(screaming) YES!!!

I love that. I don’t know why I’m drawn to it but it fascinates me.

Oh my God, I’m so going to tell her when I get off of this phone.

So did you ever want to be a flight attendant?

Oh God, no. I said if I go up in the air like that every single day it’s going to have to be for a good reason and it’s not going to be to take people to their destination. No. I would never want to be a flight attendant. But my hat is always off to my mom because I love her so much.

I want to interview her.

I got a pen and paper right now. I will deliver her to you.

She’s amazing to me. I think she’s over the top. You guys needs to doa ‘Laverne & Shirley’ or something. You guys on TV spells spin-off. I want to see a Miss New York doll. It’s like a cottage industry. How would you want to expand your brand?

Well right now I’m thinking in terms of jewelry. I’m working on a jewelry line. I love my bling, sexy lingerie, stuff like that, of that nature. Stuff that women can celebrate themselves with. Not only women but men too, men love jewelry and lingerie too.

Now a lot of those ‘Flavor of Love’ girls have done those magazines like ‘FHM’ and ‘King.’ Please tell me youre going to be doing them?

Well, you know I did do a little spread in ‘King’ about two or three weeks ago, that’s coming soon. I also did ‘Out’ magazine.

‘Out Magazine’?

I sure did.

What are you trying to tell me?

What? That I have love for all. That’s what New York is trying to tell you.

Have you ever had a lesbian relationship?

What? (screaming) I don’t know about you but I will tell you straight out that nobody can put it down like a man!!!

Well, it’s 2007 so I think anybody as wild as you are can be down for anything. I definitely didn’t mean to offend you with that type of questioning.

Oh no baby, I’m not offended.

Now some people say that you come off a bit mean. Do you think that? Some people say they were rooting for you and then it just got a little crazy when your mother got into the picture and you kind of lost some people there.

Well, a lot of people can’t take a strong armor. I’m a strong armor. My mom is the strongest armor I know. I’m not a mean women. It’s just that there are times when I’m going to let my presence be known and my opinion be felt, so no, I’m not mean. I’m just straight to the point.

What is your drug of choice?

Oooh my goodness. Money. I love it.

I love that. See, you’re a pro.
