VH1 announced this week that the network is bringing back The Surreal Life for a seventh season, over 15 years after the reality series last aired. Among the cast members are NBA player Dennis Rodman, Malcolm in the Middle star Frankie Muniz, adult film star Stormy Daniels, actress and comedian Kim Coles, makeup artist Manny MUA, R&B singer August Alsina, actress and former WWE superstar CJ Perry, and Tamar Braxton. Our first impression of the haphazard trailer is that we’re going to see a lot of a nude, tattooed Dennis Rodman, Stormy Daniels has a doll named Susan that seems to freak out Rodman, and it comes out on Oct, 24. The standout of the motley crew seems to be Braxton, so who is she?
