Oh, sheesh.  It looks like Megan Hauserman will be getting her day in the sun after all.

Following news that leading Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant Ryan Jenkins was accused of murdering his wife and then subsequently committing suicide, the Hauserman VH1 reality dating series was canceled.

Now, seems like the network and aspiring trophy wife are working out another deal.

RadarOnline.com has the scoop:

“VH1 is giving Megan her own reality show,” a source confirms. When the show was abruptly canceled “they promised Megan her own show…that’s how they bought her silence.”

As for the show’s format, the source says it will probably move away from a dating-themed show and will unscripted despite Hauserman asking for a scripted show.

Hmm… Sounds kinda shady, doesn’t it?  I suppose a VH1’s gotta do what it’s gotta do.

Totally not surprised that all it took for Megan Hauserman to keep quiet was the promise of another reality show.  That babe’s been on more reality shows than any publicity whore out there - Rock of Love 2, I Love Money, Rock of Love Charm School, Beauty and the Geek…

An un-scripted non-dating show, eh? What do you think the new one will be about?

OMFG!!!!  This is RIDIC.  This whole saga keeps getting crazier and crazier…

We reported last week that Megan Wants a Millionaire contestant Ryan Jenkins was wanted for questioning on the murder of his wife, model Jasmine FIore.  Flore’s body was found stuffed in a suitcase with fingertips and teeth missing.  Authorities believed he had fled for his native Canada.

Today, news broke that Jenkins was found dead in a hotel room in British Columbia after apparently taking his own life.  Such a surprising end to a twisted, twisted tale.

As mentioned, VH1 has pulled all episodes of Megan Wants a Millionaire off the air - in addition to canceling I Love Money 3, which had been taped and unaired, and reportedly featured Jenkins as the ultimate grand prize winner.

Wow.  This is such a PR nightmare for VH1.  You’d think they’d do detailed background checks on their contestants.  Imagine if Jenkins had won Megan Wants a Millionaire and Megan Hauserman had wound up in a suitcase a few months later!

OMG!  Just when I was telling everyone NOT to watch VH1’s Megan Wants a Millionaire, some majorly crazy news hits the fan!

If you’ve had the misfortune of watching the first three episodes of the show, you’d likely recognize Canadian investment banker Ryan Jenkins as one of the top contenders.  Today, news broke that Jenkins is wanted for questioning in the murder of his wife, 28-year-old model/stripper/Playboy representative Jasmine Fiore.

Fiore was found strangled and stuffed in a suitcase in a trash receptacle in Buena Park, California.  The local police department has issued an alert to the public to keep an eye out for Jenkins, lest he escape to this native Canada.

Ryan Jenkins (net worth: $2.5 mill - chump change!) is rumored to be a finalist on Megan Wants a Millionaire, though not a winner.  He supposedly went to Las Vegas following his elimination from the show, and met and married Jasmine Fiore a few days later.

To add craziness atop the craziness, TMZ reports that Jenkins also just finished participating in I Love Money’s third season - and won the $250,000 grand prize (net worth update: $2.75 mill), meaning he’d be appearing in every episodes.

VH1 has kept pretty silent about the whole shebang, even going so far as pulling all Megan Wants a Millionaire content off the Internets.  They did, however, just issue a statement.  Feast your eyes:

“Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on ‘Megan Wants a Millionaire‘, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family.”

Whoa!  I guess my prayers have been answered: I officially never have to watch another episode of Megan Wants a Millionaire again.  It’s a shame it had to happen this way - best wishes to the Fiore family.

Boy, I bet Megan Hauserman is PISSED her airtime’s getting cut!  Hopefully whichever millionaire she ended up picking is willing to buy her a new show.

Aw, HELL no!

I have no words.  Some 20-year-old dude (obviously) named Eddie (clearly) who lives in Estero, Florida (of course) got reality whore Megan Hauserman TATTOOED on his bicep!

Remember Megan Hauserman? You’ve been trying to forget her since you saw her on Rock of Love 2, I Love Money, Rock of Love Charm School, and Beauty and the Geek, with little success.  She’s been racing through your mind since you first laid eyes on that burnt-biscuit pucker a few years back on VH1.  You’re looking forward to her upcoming series, Trophy Wife, and you wish you had the net worth to date her.  Face it: you want a tattoo of her on your bicep, too.

Hey!  Megan’s cheek in that tattoo kinda looks like a crescent roll.
