Salt 'n' Pepa

In case you don't follow VH1 news, they just announced the new cast for their Surreal Life franchise. Among the house guests (we'll ignore Jose Canseco for now) is Pepa from the late 80's/early 90's female rap duo Salt n Pepa (and Spinderella).
Really? Pepa?
Did they call Salt originally, only to have her turn down the part? I can't imagine that. What does Salt do these days anyway?
"Look, Pepa, you're our (muffled snickering) first choice on this project. We're all very (snort) excited to be working with a (louder snort) talent such as yourself."
In case you were confused, Pepa was the fat(ter) "blonde" one. They both peaked with that video with En Vogue (speaking of worthless ex-celebrities, please give a nice warm hand for En Vogue...). And if you don't remember Salt n Pepa OR En Vogue, then clearly you were not part of the generation of teenagers that used MTV's "The Grind" as low-grade pornography.

You've reached the bottom of the glass.
