Megan Hauserman gets another reality show after murder derails last one
Megan Hauserman, the stupid, entitled, self-righteous star of the now-scrapped reality show “Megan Wants a Millionaire” is getting a second chance at infamy. Megan’s show was taken off the air when one of its contestants, Ryan Jenkins, went into hiding after his estranged wife’s body was found in a dumpster. Jenkins was eventually found dead of an apparent suicide and the show was canceled. Megan then had to resort to staged bikini photoshoots to get a little press.
Radar is reporting that VH1 has given Megan a different reality show in which she’ll star, as a kind of consolation prize to losing her show to a murdering contestant. (Radar states in this story that Jenkins was the supposed winner of Megan’s dating show, but this is the first time I’ve seen this claim and I don’t think that’s true. According to previous reports, Jenkins won the meta-reality show contest “I Love Money 3”, and from what I could tell he wasn’t even in the top two on “Megan Wants a Millionaire.”)
With one of her romantic frontrunners Ryan Jenkins accused of murdering his wife before later committing suicide, Megan Hauserman of VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire” is getting her second chance at reality TV after the network understandably cancelled the show. RadarOnline.com has the exclusive details of her new deal and why the network decided to give her another shot.
“VH1 is giving Megan her own reality show,” a source confirms. When the show was abruptly cancelled “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.
Hauserman is not a stranger to controversy. She was the Charm School contestant whose behavior incited Sharon Osbourne to slap her in the face.
The premise of her show with Jenkins had her vying to be a trophy wife. He supposedly won.

I guess we can’t expect much more from VH1. They have contractual obligations to Hauserman. The question remains whether they will try and change the format of their creepy exploitative reality shows after this terrible wake up call. We heard from their casting agent that she hired probable murderer Ryan Jenkins for the show after he hit on her in an elevator in Las Vegas. The requirements for these shows involves having no shame. It’s kind of inevitable that they’re attracting the dregs of society. Maybe the good news in this story is that Megan is gettnig some kind of non-scripted reality show. Does that mean that the days of people taking a dump on the stairs for ratings have ended? Surely Megan will pull her own stunts to get attention, whether someone prompts her or not.
Megan Hauserman is shown on 7/31/09, 7/13/09 and 8/28/07. Credit: WENN.com
