The girl who used to calm down crazy talk show guests involved in major drama will now be putting those old skills back into practice. It has been announced that Ricki Lake will be taking over as host of VH1′s Charm School after the departure of not-so-charming or mannerly Sharon Osbourne (who was accused of pulling a contestant’s hair).

According to VH1, this third installment of the show will focus on taking the girls from Rock of Love and Real Chance of Love, and helping them to improve through selfless acts. That�s right! The girls are doing charity work!

Not that this gives the show any kind of credibility, but in a world where everyone is so worried about ourselves, it’s nice to see a show teaching people to help others.

VH1�s VP of programming couldn�t be happier about the changes occurring, saying, �We are thrilled to have Ricki spearheading this new take on Charm School. Our audience knows her, loves her and respects her. And Ricki certainly knows a thing or two about taking big, loud characters and bringing them to a place of new emotional understanding.The transformation of the women on the show is always an interesting journey to watch, and the new twist on this season should bring the entire experience to a whole new level.�

I might actually tune in… for one episode.
