Call her a "Witch with a B" and she'll graciously accept the title.

Ask her about her "recent endowment," she won't flinch.

Talk about her mother and she'll tell you what to do!!!

Of course, I'm referring to reality TV's most popular personality (as of late), the unforgettable Miss New York -- the small town girl with the big mouth, the big heart and the (new) big boobs who brought the drama to Flavor Flav's record-breaking VH1 romp 'Flavor of Love.'

She's stepping out on her own with her eagerly anticipated spin-off show 'I Love New York' debuting Jan. 8 on VH1.

That is her --indeed-- in this photo on the left, sporting the afro and looking like a cross between Millie Jackson, Macy Gray, Buckwheat and Lawanda Page (Aunt Esther).

I tell you, you gotta love a gal with gall.

I got up, close and personal with the potty-mouthed diva to kick the ballistics. Because we hit it off so well -- and carried on-- the interview will be broken up into two parts. Here's how Part One went down.

So are you from Rochester or Syracuse?

You know what baby? Actually I'm from upstate New York, New Hartford New York. So that's even farther up there. It's past Buffalo, it's cold, it's just a weary little city.

And now you're putting Upstate New York on the map.

You know what baby? Yes. I'm definitely putting Upstate New York on the map and I'm happy to do it.

You've been described as the "Grand Diva of Arbitrary Emotions."

What? Are you serious?

Well that's what it says on VH1.

Well you know what baby? I really don't go on the net that much because I don't have that much time to do stuff like that. But if that is out there for me, you know I'll take it. I'll be that. I'm that then. Okay.

It's all about the internet.

It truly is. I should be ashamed of myself but I'm not. I don't really get online as much as I should but that's a great title to hold.

What do you in your pastime?

I'm my spare time, I'm basically giving a lot of attention to my nails and my skin. I'm a real huge skin person. I'm constantly washing my face making sure it's clear and clean and making sure my nails are clean. I'm just a big skin and nails person. I hope that doesn't sound too weird but that's what I do on my spare time -- making sure that everything is on the up and up.

You save that for 'Essence' magazine.

What? (laughing loudly)

What was your life like before all of this television show? Were you an aspiring actress or something like that?

Seriously, yes I was. I was an aspiring actress. And I still am. Basically nothing has changed since the show except the recognition. Now when I walk down the street I'm easily recognized. I mean that's the only thing that has changed in my life.

Who is Tiffany Pollard and who is Tiffany Patterson. You're referred to one or the other and I'm confused. What's the difference between the two of them?

Well you know I am here to set the record. Tiffany Pollard P-O-L-L-A-R-D, that's me. That's my last name and that's who I am. Tiffany Patterson is basically, uh (pause) well I could tell you how that went about; My mom and my dad aren't married. My mom's last name is Patterson but I'm carrying my father's last name. That's the name I grew up so that's my real name, Tiffany Pollard.

It just got a little confusing with all the names. I thought they were aliases. I was about to say you got more aliases than Jennifer Garner.

(laughing) That could be a little confusing.

Now tell me about this show. What will make this show different from 'Strange Love,' different from 'Flavor of Love 1' and 'Flavor of Love 2'?

The thing that makes 'I Love New York' stand out from all of those other shows is that fact that I am really -- I'm not saying that Flav wasn't now, but there have been times when he said he was looking for a real good friend-- me, no, no, no I'm looking for my one and only. I'm really looking for love. Everything was real on his show too but the thing that stands out the most is that I really got to know these guys on a personal level. When I say that I don'tmean intimately, I mean more so asking them questions that Flav didn't really ask on an individual level. But for me, I'm really looking for a man. Not a friend, a guy but a man, a real man in my life.

Well what exactly are you looking for outside of just "a man"? What qualities are you seeking when you were filming this?

That's a great question. When we were filming the producers they wanted to know what was my type, in terms of looks. For me, I don't really have a type when it comes down to looks.

Well after you pined for Flavor Flav, you obviously don't.

(scream) You know what, I ain't even going there with you. I'm going to leave that alone.

I love Flav and I think he's hilarious. But come on.

He's styling, he's cute and everybody (pause) is beautiful in their own way but me, my type is someone that meshes well with my inner being -- someone who can deal with the fact that sometimes I have my days when I'm problematic and sometimes I'm going to have my days when I'm going to be on his side. Someone that can definitely take me on as a whole. That's what I was looking for.

So it's not a physical thing?

Oh, absolutely not. Looks never mattered to me.

Oh okay because you have a motley mix of guys on this show -- from the rooter to the tooter.

You know I had to do it like that.

So how long did the show take to produce?

It took about a good three and a half [weeks], I'll say.

So its going to be packaged. And how many episodes are we getting?

You guys are going to get ten luscious episodes.
