iRH: Hi Bobbie! Welcome to iRealHousewives, how are
you?
BB: Great, Thank you!!
iRH: How were you approached to join “Ex-Wives of Rock”?
BB: LorraineLewis
contacted me a few years back after seeing me on Do It for the Band: The Girls
of the Sunset Strip, saying she and her two partners, Lisa Brucker and Peter
Mervis had an idea about ex wives of rock stars and if I would like to meet to
discuss interest. I agreed, and we started brainstorming on the idea
iRH: Were you ever hesitant of being on a reality show?
BB: No, not at all it
sounded like fun
iRH: Is it true that the show filmed a few years
back before being picked by a network?
BB: Actually no, the
sizzle or pilot was shot a few years back then was shopped to networks within a
year Tricon picked it up in Canadaand sold it to Slice. Then we actually
started filming in 2011 the last six months the actual episodes we had
originally filmed and had an earlier premiere date but after editing started
Tricon really felt strong about the show and saved it for the sweeps in fall
when all the new shows came out
iRH: How much has your life changed since doing the
show?
BB: Not extremely but
somewhat yes, let's say for the better certainly, and optimistic that will
continue, hopeful it will.
iRH: I know the show first got picked up in Canada USA
BB: OMG! I cried! I
screamed I jumped up and down, I was so thrilled!!
iRH: On the show you mentioned you used to date
Tommy Lee (Athena’s brother). How did you and Tommy meet?
BB: I met Tommy through
Sharise and an old roommate I was working with in Miami Miami California
iRH: Before being on reality TV you were a model
and a video vixen in the 80’s. How were you discovered as a model?
BB: I was in the Miss Teen
USA pageant and was second runner up and my question was "What did I want
to pursue?" and I said modeling. The next day I got some calls from
prospective agents etc. out here and made arrangements to come meet with them
and make some life decisions.
iRH: You are mostly known for being the “Cherry
Pie” girl on Warrant’s “Cherry Pie” music video. How was your experience
filming that video?
BB: It was a lot of work,
long hours, but fun, everyone was very cool with me and I only got irritated
with the director, due to disagreements on what I was willing to shoot. Overall
a good experience in every aspect, that video changed my life
iRH: How does it feel to be known as the “Cherry
Pie” girl by fans till this day?
BB: I’m very flattered
always, I love my fans. I get a lot of shit too, people comparing me to my
former glory, and truth be told that's hard to compete with. That was over 20
years ago come on!!
iRH: During filming the music video you meet your
now ex husband, the late Jani Lane
BB: Jani was mostly sweet
and mild mannered until he drank. He was very intelligent and creative, and
gifted. He could be arrogant and smug too. But anyone who met him couldn't say
anything bad about him, for when he was sober he could be close to wonderful.
iRH: How does your daughter feel about you being on
the show?
BB: My daughter supports
whatever I do mostly but she's a very private person as well as my whole family
and not so eager to participate
iRH: Will she make an appearance on the show?
BB: I’m not sure I’ve
asked but not sure
iRH: I know your writing a book about you're life.
When can we expect your book to be released?
BB: Keep watching that's a
secret for now, but not too much of a wait, and sooner than you'd think. I
promise to promote the ever living crap out of it as soon as I can though
iRH: I must say the show is fun, entertaining and
very refreshing to watch compared to other reality shows. Do you watch any
reality shows, if so which ones?
BB: Well thank you so much
I appreciate that, glad you like us. I don't really watch that much TV, I do
however like Cock'd Gunns, I think it's hysterical
iRH: In your own words what makes “Ex-Wives of
Rock”different from other reality shows?
BB: The difference I think
is clear, we're four women who have known each other for twenty or more years
and have remained friends, not four strangers put in a house or faking bonds.
What we have is genuine and sincere and you can't fake or force what we are.
Also it's completely unscripted everything you see is completely truthful and
as it happens. We don't deny the audience anything. And that sometimes can be
great or setting ourselves up for serious ridicule and harsh commentary, but
you cannot deny it is not real, down to the core.
iRH: Overall did you have fun doing the show?
BB: I absolutely love it!
Our entire team, Tricon, the girls, the crew, and the creators, we are like a
tight knit family we love we fight we communicate, and I get paid to spend time
with my friends and family, you cannot beat that!!
iRH: I know you can’t give out much but what can we
expect on the remainder of the show?
BB: It's just about to
start getting good, that I can promise you. You will be taken on an emotional
rollercoaster ride till the last second of the last show. You will laugh your
ass off and cry your eyes out and beg for more...I promise. At least that's how
I feel when I watch it.
iRH: Tell my readers why they should tune in to see
“Ex-Wives of Rock”?
BB: First and foremost it's
an entertaining show, nothing fake or forced and you will get to know us, no
matter how unappealing or shocking we may be. People expect something and get
the complete opposite, but you realize we are all just regular people
struggling just like everyone else in this world and we're the same making
mistakes, being imperfect, looking foolish, and acting a fool (laughs). It's a
wild ride, we put everything into it to share with anyone who watches.
iRH: Any upcoming projects that you can tell us?
BB: Keep watching is all I
can say for now sorry
iRH: Anything you would like to say to your fans?
BB: I absolutely adore my
fans, we all do, and we feel a personal connection to all of them as we try to
interact with them as much as we can. Thank you for watching and all of your
support we love you!
iRH: Thank you Bobbie for doing this interview!
Have a great day!

doll. kisses.....bb
