It’s Marcia, Marcia, Marcia when the fifth season of "Celebrity Fit Club" returns to VH1 next year with "The Brady Bunch" star MAUREEN McCORMICK among the eight celebrity weight watchers. "My daughter said, ‘Mom I think you should do it,’" Maureen replies, when asked why she agreed to appear on the celeb reality show. "For the past few years, I had been totally out of exercising, just eating and going crazy. I thought, ‘What a great opportunity to do something positive.’" Maureen, who admits she suffered from bulimia in her late teens and early 20s, is hoping to lose the 25 to 30 pounds she has gained since her mother died. "I have had a lot of hard things going on in the past few years of my life," she tells ET. "My mother was my best friend. It was really hard going through her illness with her. I have a brother who is mentally retarded, and about a month before my mother died, my father came to me and said, ‘I need to put DENNY into a home.’ That was really, really difficult." As for her eating disorder, she says it didn’t take place during "The Brady Bunch," but afterwards. "Back on the show, I could eat whatever I wanted," she recalls. "Things changed. I am 5-foot 3-inches. At some point I stopped growing, and it is harder when you are small. We never dealt with [eating disorders] on the show. I really don’t think EVE [PLUMB] or Susie [SUSAN OLSEN] were dealing with a weight issue." It was a fear of becoming very ill or dying that caused Maureen to stop purging. "I had some friends going through the same thing with me at the same time," she explains. "I am really stubborn and really strong-willed when I put my mind to something. When I do, I can say no and turn things around." Joining Maureen for the fifth season of VH1’s weight-loss series are TIFFANY, KIMBERLY LOCKE, DA BRAT, DUSTIN DIAMOND, WARREN G, CLEDUS T. JUDD and ROSS MATTHEWS.
David Carradine, Coolio, The Bachelor’s Andrew Firestone, pro-boxer Mia St. John, and Hef’s girl Bridget Marquardt find themselves on a remote island off the New England coast. Their mission: to find the ghost of a foreman said to have been killed in an accident. Tune in this Sunday night at 10 PM for some ghost action… VH1
If you have not seen this show, you have to check it out. It is actually really entertaining, plus it is fun to watch the celebs cry when they hear a ghost!!!

So as most of you know, I finally got back home from a "secret location" outside of the U.S. to shoot the final episodes of my new show "I Love New York".
VH1 has not determined an exact air date yet because of time slot issues. It is expected that the show will release sometime in mid-December and latest, early January. TV experts have already been raving about the show, and its been predicted to be the most watched show in VH1’s history!
Finally, for those who are new to the concept of the show, I will be the Flavorette, where 20 single men from all over the country will be competing for me. This show is NOT the same as Flavor of Love! Its a newer more updated concept with a couple twist involved.
Will I find true love & happiness? Will I ever find a man who can appreciate my flaws and my qualities?
I would feel sincerely blessed and thankful if everyone would watch my show. I promise it will extremely entertaining and you will find a lot of laughs and drama on the way.
Hey Friends,
