Rarely do spin-off’s and sequels best the original. However ‘Love & Hip-Hop‘s Hollywood edition is re-writing all of the rules.

Royally ratchet, the addictive series is making a serious beeline for the top-spot with its sizzling storylines.

Now in its fifth season, the show returns to VH1 next Monday (July 23rd), and an action-packed super-trailer has been unlocked to whet appetites.

‘Love & Hip-Hop’ veteran K. Michelle makes her Hollywood debut and, as you’ll see below, makes waves from the get-go. Her story arc appears to center on the removal of her derriere implants and relationship drama between returnees Lyrica Anderson and A1.

Also back in the mix are the likes of Ray J and Princess (who gear up for the birth of their daughter), Teairra Mari, Nikki Baby, Moniece, Bridget Kelly and Safaree. As reported, social media sensation LaBritney has joined the cast too.

Its somewhat abrupt end after 8 seasons in 2008 left many hoping for a movie to tie-up all the loose ends.

Over the years, key cast members have expressed interest – as has creator Mara Brock Akil, who was quizzed on the subject by Wendy Williams.
