Will the new Terrell Owens iPhone app really catch on?

om a Super Bowl appearance, to a sexually-charged skit on Desperate Housewives to his own reality show on VH1, Terrell Owens has never been shy in front of a television camera. With the upcoming release of his new iPhone application, the world should get even more FaceTime with the mercurial Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver.

On August 8, T.O. is expected to join teammate Chad Ochocinco, boxer Floyd Mayweather, and Minnesota Vikings defensive endJared Allen as the next in the growing number of professional athletes who are tapping into the iPhone wave with their own applications. Along with Twitter and personal blogs, athletes are using iPhone apps to bypass traditional media like television networks and newspapers to interact directly with their adoring fans.

“They feel more connected with the person rather than the athlete or celebrity image,” explained Owens, calling in during a break from Bengals training camp sessions in Georgetown, Kentucky earlier this week. “Whatever I can do to increase interest and create more excitement.” The free application, developed by Irvine, Calif.-based Rock Software, will include standard features like photos and video clips along with a running Batman and Robin gag with Ochocinco recently debuted on Twitter. Owens also uses the app to share and promote a few off-the-field interests.

“I’m into home decor, and there are a number of things I’m involved with like workout tips, dieting, and other things of that nature,” he said. “I’ll teach you how to dress and tie and tie.”

Off-the-field distraction?

After wearing out his welcome with zany antics in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas, Owens reportedly got a late start in Cincinnati after dealing with last-minute details getting his app ready for the Apple App Store.

While the Bengals may be the best football fit for the 36-year-old former All-Pro seeking one last shot at a Super Bowl ring, the defending AFC North champions also have at least a couple of players who are giving a thumbs up to Owens’ iPhone aspirations. In addition to Ochocinco, who last month followed up his iPhone app with a separate title for the iPad, backup quarterback Jordan Palmer (brother of star starting QB Carson Palmer) is a stakeholder in Rock Software.

Jordan Palmer and partner John Shahidi were unsuccessful in developing an iPhone app for Owens during his relatively quiet season with the Buffalo Bills last year. Might Owens have joined the Bengals for a better chance of getting his iPhone app out the door and promoted?

“Trust me,” Owens said between a couple laughs, “that had zero percent to do with me joining the Bengals. My joining the team had everything to do with winning a championship.”

Owens, who actually uses an Android-powered Samsung Galaxy smartphone, has his hands full with other priorities.

“I’m pretty overloaded with a lot to learn with this new offense,” he said.

There is no app, yet, for crossing the goal line in an NFL game.

Tiger's mistress Uchitel ditches 'Celebrity Rehab' for Malibu facility

Tiger Woods' No. 1 mistress Rachel Uchitel checked into another rehab facility after leaving VH1's "Celebrity Rehab," TMZ reported Saturday.

Uchitel reportedly paid $20,000 to stay at the unnamed transitional living facility in Malibu, Calif., for 30 days -- and picked the spot because it allowed her dogs to stay with her, according to the gossip website. Cameras, however, are not allowed.

The club hostess-turned-mistress, whose first fiance died in the Sept. 11 terror attacks, is reportedly already free of alcohol, cigarettes and pills.

Uchitel was previously reported to have struggled with alcoholism and an addiction to the sleeping pill Ambien -- which caused Donald Trump to withdraw his offer for her to join the cast of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" -- as well as psychological issues relating to love, sex and intimacy.

Even though Tiger Woods "mistress #1" Rachel Uchitel may be progressing well following her stay on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew", that doesn't necessarily mean that it was an easy stay by any means.

As a matter of fact, a source recently told Radar Onlinethat Rachel's time on the show was full of quite a bit of fighting -- particularly when it came to "the world's first supermodel" Janice Dickinson:

"[The two] "were practically at each other's throats from the beginning. They fought constantly, and Dr. Drew and the staff ultimately made the decision to separate the two as they were just being so disruptive to everyone involved. It was just way too much ego in one room.”

The source also added that Dickinson wasn't altogether upset that Rachel left the show following an emotional discussion of her father -- even if she ultimately came back.

“Janice was hoping she wouldn't come back, but Janice predicted that Uchitel would ultimately come back because she missed the cameras. It drove Janice over the edge that Rachel thought she was a celebrity. Both of these women are dealing with major self esteem issues, along with their personal addictions.”

The new season of "Celebrity Rehab" is reportedly set to debut in October -- or potentially even earlier. Are you looking forward to Rachel and Janice

Even though famed Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel recently graduated from "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew", she has decided to seek some additional treatment on her own.

According to a new report from TMZ, Uchitel has checked herself into a "transitional living facility" in order to help kick her habit of drinking, prescription drugs, and even smoking. She is also reportedly paying a cool $20,000 in order to stay at the Malibu facility for 30 days. (Then again, considering that Uchitel's reported payout for silence on the Tiger affair was somewhere around $10 million, she certainly has the money.)

While on Dr. Drew Pinsky's VH1 show, Uchitel is believed to have battled a number of emotional issues -- and also to have clashed with model Janice Dickinson. Since filming for the show only spans a short period of time, many alum often find themselves checking into an additional facility.

Are you happy that Rachel may be able to now kick whatever habit is plaguing her?

Culp

VH1

Fort Wayne’s Elizabeth Culp, third from left on the couch, is one of 24 weight-loss contestants on “Money Hungry.”

A local mom is in the thick of a battle over thickness on a new VH1 reality show called “Money Hungry.”

Actually, the battle is technically over, but completed episodes of the show have just started airing Mondays at 9 p.m.

So let’s talk about it as if it’s all happening in real time.

Fort Wayne’s Elizabeth Culp is one of 24 weight-loss contestants living in a Los Angeles house on the show, which is a far cry from anything that Jillian Michaels hosts or has hosted.

In “Money Hungry,” 12 teams have each put $10,000 into a pool with the understanding that the winners (meaning, the team that loses the greatest percentage of overall weight) take all.

But this isn’t the sort of show in which a drill sergeant screams the pounds off. In fact, the house is continually filled by VH1 saboteurs with junk food, Culp says.

“We walked into the house and there was a popcorn machine and a vending machine full of candy,” she says. “And the cupboards were stuffed with every kind of junk food imaginable.”

In addition, Culp says, gofers are always on standby.

If there’s a kind of food that the contestants want and it isn’t already in the house, she says, the gofers will get it for them.

Weekly challenges eliminate contestants “Survivor”-style.

“It’s a different kind of competition,” Culp says. “The choices are for the competitors to make.”

“Money Hungry” took Culp away from her Fort Wayne family for two months.

She cannot, for obvious reasons, disclose the outcome of the show.

Culp says she auditioned for it because her attempts to lose weight up to that point had always ended in failure.

“There’s no bigger accountability than being on national television,” she says.

Culp says her husband, Dave, has always supported her in all her endeavors.

“My (husband has) been wonderful,” she says. “He’s my biggest cheerleader. He has always loved me regardless of what size I am.”

Culp is perhaps best known locally as the co-owner with her husband of “Poop Happens,” a pet waste removal service.

Elizabeth Culp grew up in Portland, Ore., but she and her husband moved back to his hometown of Fort Wayne for good four years ago. So enamored did she become of Fort Wayne that she even moved her parents here.

“I love it so much,” Culp says. “We’re had the opportunity to buy our own home here, which on the West Coast is not always a realistic thing for a family to try to do.”

6 Gauge: One of my friends have told me that I should def try out since I love me some blonde hair big ass titty strippers...Being a stripper ,singer of band, owner of a business as well. It seem like a thing that all i was missing was a hottie with a body. So I said what the hell at worst case it would possibly help my band out in the long run so fuck it,






VH1access: Were you really into Daisy? Some of the guys on the show that I spoke with were not even into her.
6 Gauge: She def is a lil hottie but after winning the 1st challenge and getting the 1st date it seemed as if there was lil to no connection. She seemed very distant with me for the most part so of course being in the house full of alcohol and crazy mutha fuckers we just had fun and i tried to make a connection but she just never made the time. We have spoken since the show and she is just more of a friend even though she was shitty towards me last time I saw and pretty sure she hates me but it id what it is. As I said before my life will go on. She had an opportunity to get to know me and has since the show has aired.






VH1access: You told me on twitter that your current girlfriend cheated on you with your friend.
6 Gauge: Yeah I have been dating a girl since the show that I thought was a real down to earth cool fun chick.  All that gets outta hand though being a singer of band and being on TV. She really hate the 6 Gauge thing and girls coming to shows and wanting me to sign their tits oh well. So she decided to sleep with someone I have known for years first night and he knocked it out "BSR" (beat skeet retreat) I called him and he told me what really went down and of course she denied it until I told her I already heard from him. So now I am back from the block looking for another girl and man it is crazy wild ya know.






VH1access: VH1 should give a dating show.
6 Gauge: I def would be interested in doing a dating show man it is crazy how girls change after the time and the light wears down and they tired of watching me at shows , being in clubs, the whole 6 gauge thing ya know... hosting parties  of 15k people with my buddy DJ Silver during spring break and across the country. If the cameras followed me around through all the tours we do man it would be insane.
