The reality world was first introduced to Pumkin in 2006, when rapper Flavor Flav gave California native Brooke Thompson the nickname on the debut of VH1's Flavor of Love. Out of 20 hopefuls, it all came down to Thompson and two other finalists, who duked it out in the name of love for the multi-millionaire star. Since her infamous spit-filled face-off with always-dramatic New York, Pumkin has appeared on a slew of reality shows including Friend or Foe, Street Smarts, MTV's Next, The Soup and Celebrity Eye Candy to name a few. Most recently the buxom platinum blond returned to VH1 to learn a thing or two about proper etiquette in Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School last spring. Keep up with the latest Pumkin news on our blog.

I love ... intelligence, the love of my life, my puppy dogs, my family, my friends, my fans, chicken, coke zero, gum.

I hate ... New York, dumb, fake bitches, arrogant guys, broccoli, sushi, cigarettes.

Why did Flavor Flav call you Pumkin?

Flavor Flav called me Pumkin because I am as sweet as pumpkin pie!

How has your life changed since that show? Are you glad you did it?

My life has definitely changed a lot since being on Flavor of Love. I cannot really go anywhere looking like a hot mess because I always run into fans who want pictures with me, and you better believe they put it up on MySpace! I have also had trouble finding a "real" job because it can definitely be a distraction. However, I would not change it for the world. I love being Pumkin and I love entertaining the viewers.

Are you still in contact with Flavor Flav?

Are you serious? Would you be?

What was going through your head when you spit on New York?

That is a tough one. I really don't know what I was thinking. I was so fucking mad, and I knew that the contracted stated not to physically touch anyone, so I tried to find another way to get back at her besides violence. It definitely was not my proudest moment, but hey, it was fucking entertaining, and she deserved it!

Have you seen her since the show or talked to her?

I ran into her at the FOX Reality TV Awards, and she was fucking trashed and decided she wanted to tell me how much she really appreciated how entertaining we were — she basically kissed me, and we made up!

You mentioned something about new show you filmed in Mexico — what can you tell us?

I have to remain tight-lipped right now, but it definitely is going to be a great show! Aww shit, if you wanna know more sign up, and chat with me!

What is the best part of being a reality celeb?

The perks. Free clothes, VIP access to any club, paid appearances, traveling. It's fucking awesome!

And the worst?

You never can go anywhere without someone noticing you. And it's not that I don't like that. But, sometimes you just wanna go to the store with no makeup and your hair all messed up, but I definitely can't do that anymore.

If you could chat with one celeb, who would it be?

Britney Spears! That girl is a fucking mess and I love her! She does such a great job staying in the spotlight, and I think the media is way too hard on her.

Favorite lunch spot?

Yardhouse

Most wild thing a fan told you?

Oh, wow! A fan approached me and was like "Hey Pumkin, I am your biggest fan." I said, "Thank you," and then she went on telling me she knew everything about me ... and she truly did! It was a little creepy. Someone she knew the streets I used to live on and the schools I went to and all this crazy shit! YIKES!

Do you have a latest obsession?

Text messaging! Love it!

Who or what motivates you?

I am my biggest motivater. I push myself really hard to be the best I can be, and I am my biggest critic.

Is there a reality show would you absolutely *love* to be on?

The Real World! I would love to be on a show where I could not get kicked off of!

What would life be like if you had never been part of the Flavor of Love?

I am not really sure. Probably pretty fucking boring!

What's your next move?

Keep watching!!!!! You have not seen the last of Pumkin!
