Ray J
Gossip

Why does Cocktail have to play Ray J like this, yo?

In an interview with In Touch Weekly, the season one champion on For the Love of Ray J goes off on that show's star, accusing the amateur adult movie director of seeking attention over soulmates on his reality series.

Joanna “Cocktail” Hernandez also admits that Ray J broke her heart. Here are a few excerpts from the article:

On the end of their relationship: Things didn't feel right after the reunion. I tried to be his girlfriend, and then we went on tour and there were rumors that he was going to do season two. When I asked him about it, he said "no," but then I found out the truth. Ray did break my heart; this whole thing has been an emotional roller coaster.

Kissing a girl on camera? Ray J has been there, done that. He's just not accustomed to facing her while doing so.

Did Ray cheat on her with Whitney Houston? He didn't talk about Whitney at all, actually. I heard the rumors that he was messing around with her when we were together, but who knows whether that is true or not.

Does she still have love for Ray J? I care about him, and when I am around him, sometimes the feelings come back again. But I'm at a place now where talking about what really happened is allowing me to move on.

On season two of For the Love of Ray J: Ray doesn't have to go on a show to find love. It's about exposure and money.

Funny. "Exposure and Money" was actually Ray J's nickname for ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

It's hard to believe that just a few short years ago, before she was a household name, Kim Kardashian was just some rich girl getting tapped by Ray J.

Somehow, their sex tape catapulted Kim to stardom, while the R&B singer and sometime actor / rapper has mostly faded into the background. Mostly.

Ray J is back for another year of his self-titled reality dating show, For the Love of Ray J. Last season, Cocktail won Ray J’s heart. Then they broke up.

But why should that halt Ray's quest girl of his dreams? Just because things didn’t work out with Cocktail doesn’t mean it wasn't a blast for the man.

Come Monday, November 2, 19 classy women will be competing for the love and affections of William Raymond Norwood, Jr., a.k.a. Ray-to-the-J ...

Like last season, Ray J has nicknamed his potential playthings.

The finest girls from around the country have been summoned to his sex pad mansion in the Hollywood Hills and will be put through challenges, dates and eliminations to discover the ladies that are smart, funny and hot enough to survive the cut.

This is television at its finest. ABC should just sign Ray J as The Bachelor.

Here's a look at some of the aspiring women competing For the Love of Ray J 2. Our money's on Fettucini or Popper. But watch out for Heartbreaker ...

Poor, lonely Ray J.

Shockingly, Cocktail, Danger and the other suitors from the first season of For the Love of Ray J could not fill the hole in this rapper's heart left by Kim Kardashian.

Either that, or none of the girls would let him pound her on video.

But Ray J is not one to take rejection (or sex partners) sitting down! The aspiring singer prefers to get on top of his problems (and sex partners; seriously, we've seen the pics) in a proactive manner, as evidenced by the fact that he's signed on for a second season of For the Love of Ray J.

Attention, single ladies: This could be you! For the love of Ray J, and future sex tapes, apply for this show today!

The VH1 press release, announcing this monumental programming decision, reads:

As viewers saw last season, dating a hip-hip star is a full-time job which includes red carpet events, the paparazzi and handling all the crazy fans.  For Ray J, dating has never been an issue – it’s finding the perfect woman that can be harder than you think… especially when you’re a celebrity.

Since things didn’t exactly work out with his last girlfriend, Ray J is back to give love a second chance. As R&B’s most eligible bachelor, Ray J is determined to find a woman he can settle down with.

It's hard to believe that women named Cocktail and Tila Tequila don't get along.

But after the latter referred to the former's boyfriend, Ray J, as "her baby," and specifically said that she was dating the sex tape director, it's little wonder Cocktail takes issue with Tequila.

In a new video, the For the Love of Ray J champion is sitting on a bar, donning lingerie and sending a message to Tila: step the f$%k off! Watch below:

Tila Tequila is up there with Speidi in terms of her ability to generate publicity out of nowhere, which makes us wonder if that's all this latest rumor is.

The MySpace celebrity took to her blog this morning to declare her love for her new boyfriend - reportedly none other than fellow reality star Ray J.

A match made in celebrity gossip heaven if ever there were one.

Just last month, Ray J and Cocktail completed a poignant journey of self-discovery and romance on For The Love Of Ray J. But is this Cocktail already on the rocks?

Tila's blog suggests so. Check out what she wrote:

“My baby is Ray J ... and no man has made me feel so loved and so happy in such a long time. We really do love each other and I am so happy to have FINALLY met someone who treats me with respect and love. He is so sweet to me and makes me melt every time I see him. I love my baby ... so there you have it! Tila Tequila is officially dating Ray J!!! I think we make the cutest couple ... don't you?????”

She included a sexy video (below) she shot for her alleged new man, and then went on to plug their Twitter accounts, on which they both recently tweeted to each other lovingly. Does this reek of an enormous sham to anyone else?

Who cares, honestly.

Just check out Tila showing Courtneay Semel, Billy Corgan, some random girl and countless others what they're missing on in her alleged tribute to Ray J:

Sorry to break it to you, Kim Kardashian. But Ray J has officially moved on.

The aspiring singer and sex tape director selected a suitor on his VH1 reality show, For the Love of Ray J, last night.

Joanna Hernandez, known as "Cocktail" to viewers, conquered competitors such as "Unique" and "Danger" to end the evening with a champagne toast alongside her man.

Are Cocktail and Ray J really dating? She answered that question in a recent interview.

Cocktail is a part-time waitress from Sacramento. Prior to competing for Ray J's affection, she appeared on The Bad Girls Club and worked as social worker and a go-go dancer. A strange combination, indeed.

Most importantly for anyone that dares to date Ray J, Cocktail is not shy about her body. Does this mean the pair will live happily ever after? You tell us!

Will Ray J and Cocktail stay together?

For reasons beyond our comprehension, not everyone has been watching the VH1 dating series For the Love of Ray J.

The show features one-time Kim Kardashian boyfriend and sex tape director Ray J, as he eliminates potential suitors one-by-one and has them compete in challenges that Jason Mesnick can only fantasize about.

It's riveting television, often highlighted by the lewd antics and situations the series star finds himself in with contestants that go by names such as Danger and Caviar.

While still shots from the reality show may not be on par with Ray J's railing of Kardashian, they are entertaining nonetheless. To wit:
