Here's a funny bit of pop culture trivia. Guess which rock star and famous rapper are switching wives for the reality television series Celebrity Wife Swap?
None other than the Twisted Sister singer Dee Snyder and that skeezy little rap star Flavor Flav. Remember him? He's the guy who bedded six foot blonde actress Brigitte Nielsen. The one who wears the huge clocks around his neck like un-timely bling?
Dee Snyder was the man with the long blonde kinky curly locks who frightened the socks off Tipper Gore. He actually is a good guy who lobbied hard for the music industry when she was trying to get rock-n-roll music banned from shelves or made inaccessible to minors without parental advisory content warnings.
EW reports:
One of the great imponderables of the world will soon be answered: What would happen if rapper and reality TV barnacle Flavor Flav and one-time Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider swapped wives? EW has learned exclusively that Flav and Snider will appear on an as-yet-unscheduled episode of Celebrity Wife Swap, ABC’s midseason spinoff of its reality TV hit Wife Swap.
Snider has four children with his wife of nearly 30 years, Suzette. Flav proposed to his current wife Liz on a 2008 reunion episode of Flavor of Love.
Only thanks to Hollywood culture would something this outrageous ever happen in real life.
Will you be watching?
As for the projected success of the episode, it is highly likely that most people would rather catch an eye full of chronically drunk and stumbling Snooki on Jersey shore. At least that is reasonably funny and they cast of Guidos and Guidettes just kicked off their fourth season.
Watching Flavor Flav during a prime time television hour seems like a giant waste of time for network moguls to be airing. All things considered, most of the demographic who watches the show Celebrity Wife Swap are unlikely to be old enough to remember Dee Snyder for his political activism or to listen to Flavor Flav's music.
But the show could be funnier and more eye opening than it seems. Housewives everywhere are already feeling sorry for Mrs. Snyder, wife of Dee.
