Jim Jones and Suge Knight get denied for their reality shows but Ray J somehow lands a deal with VH1? Yup. We gave our readers a sneak peek of “For the Love of Ray J” back in November 2008 and now Ray J and VH1 have officially announced the contestants as the show kicks off on Feb. 2nd.

Format of the show is similar to “Flavor of Love” and even includes Ray J given nick names to the girls like Cashmere, Cocktail and Lil’ Hood. Bets on who is the craziest. I’ll go for Lil’ Hood. You can see a profile of each girl at the official site.
