'STRANGE LOVE' 'Surreal' couple will star in series
NEWSDAY
Get ready for the newest Couple of the Year:
Public Enemy's Flavor Flav and Danish dominatrix-like movie queen Brigitte Nielsen.
The pair will star in a new VH1 reality series, "Strange Love," set to debut in January. The two entertainers are part of the third season of "The Surreal Life," which is currently airing on VH1.
While taping "The Surreal Life" -- the program in which a gaggle of has-beens, never-weres and D-listers share a home -- Flav and Nielsen had a brief romance that was televised on the show.
The 10-episode "Strange Love" will follow the relationship as the two meet each other's families. There will also be an episode in which the couple travels to Las Vegas, where they will run into a 25-year-old bartender named Mattia Disse. Who's he? Only the guy to whom Nielsen reportedly is engaged.
Nielsen is in the middle of a divorce and was previously married to Sylvester Stallone. She is known for her role in "Red Sonja," as well as her performance as a tough Russian woman in "Rocky IV."'
