On Sunday, April 3 "Strange Love"

Vegas. They arrive at the Hard Rock and discover a suite full of gifts. They go gambling and to a strip club, but they bicker over flirting with other people. Brigitte gives a guy chips. Flavor gets a lap dance. The next morning, they have breakfast in the room and then a couple's massage. They have a conversation about their relationship where Flav tells her that Mattia is only after her for her money. At dinner, Flav tells Brigitte to move to Vegas. He wants to have a child with her. They go gambling; Flav snaps at Brigitte (he doesn't like to be touched while gambling) and she goes to bed alone. He stays up and loses all his money.

Paris was born stinking rich. Nothing wrong with that. She's also beautiful, famous and a hell of a lot smarter than you think. But Paris' greatest skill is her uncanny ability to shock the pants off of just about everyone, including herself. From her infamous sex video to the mysterious bruises all over her body, the only thing predictable about Paris is her unpredictability. It's time to sit back and explore all the outrageous things that make Paris the kind of girl you can't get enough of.
