Next Real World is not casting; Lindsay is hosting a show in Tampa

Matt looked into the fact that BMP is casting for the next Real World... (They aired a commercial for it on the last episode...) Well, apparently, they are NOT currently casting for the next season, but they are currently accepting tapes. This might be a double-edged sword for hopefuls... You won't exactly be lost in a sea of auditions, but you might not recieve the same attention if you did audition during an official casting time. It's your choice if you want to send in a tape.

And more news on Lindsay (Seattle) and her hosting gig in Tampa. Check out the article, here. Her show starts in August, so it's unlikely that she'll attempt a shot at the co-host position on the View again. Thanks to Amy for that.

Rachel is set to be a finalist for the co-host position on ABCs The View

Thanks to all the people who emailed in about this. On Thursday's episode of ABCs The View, Barbara Walters announced that the search for the fifth co-host is set to begin. And none other than The Real World San Francisco's Rachel Campos-Duffy is set to be one of the contendors of the position. If you remember, when the spot was vacated by ditzy, now TVGuide correspondent Debbie Matenopoulos, Rachel was competing for the spot against Lisa Ling, who eventually won the spot. FOXsports Lauren Sanchez was also in the running for the position. Rachel was highly rumored to be the one taking the spot, but eventually lost it to Ling. Now, she is favored in the race, and will be the first co-host to audition. She will be on the view starting September 2. She'll be on the View for several days and there are 10 to 20 other people vying for the spot. They will choose the winner on November 26.

Now, last time, the final eight candidates consisted of these three ladies, plus Seattle's Lindsay Brien. Lindsay recently moved to Tampa to jump at a chance of hosting a television show there. But it is unclear if she will return to co-host The View again. Brien wasn't selected into the final three because the co-host's thought she was too young. Now four years later, Brien may be able to join the pack as a more mature woman.

Last time around, the ladies heavily relied on viewer opinion to select their co-host. When the time comes, we'll give you all the information in order to cast your positive vote for Rachel.

But for NOW:
You can e-mail the co-hosts of the View and tell them how ecstatic you are that Rachel is coming back to co-host. A few words of wisdom here: Try not to mention the Real World/Challenges too much... Try saying a few words about her personality, her warmth, her likability... You can even say something about her relationship with Sean and their two children, Xavier and Evita. Or you can talk about her experience on TV, like her co-hosting a talk show in Wisconsin. Don't make too long or exaggerated. With that said...

Next season of the Real World may already be casting

Casting news... Last night, during the episode of The Real World: Paris... a casting commercial appeared. San Diego is said to be cast and set to film within a few weeks. However, there may be another season in the works, or another show. Nevertheless, BMP asked for tapes last night, and it doesn't hurt to try... Go to BMPs site for more information.

Tami appears in a Pier One Commercial with Kirstie Alley

A lot of people have been emailing about Tami (Los Angeles). Tami recently appeared on VH1s Inside the Real World, which was unusual, since Tami has never made a RW related appearance since the first reunion. Now, her Pier 1 commercials with Kirstie Alley are running heavily in certain areas (Thanks for the emails!) And now she's making other appearances. Last night, Tami appeared on the news/entertainment show Extra, detailing how her feelings would be similar to Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant's wife. If you remember, Tami was married to NBA star Kenny Anderson, and he had an affair during their marriage. In fact, Anderson is being sued by his mistress for not leaving Tami.

Sean will be in the ESPN Great Outdoor Games; Challenge will film in Telluride

According to Dave, Sean (Boston) will have a part in the ESPN Great Outdoor Games. People Magazine reported that Sean will be commentating on the log rolling competition, which he also did on his time on the Real World. The games air July 25-27 in Sean's hometown of Hayward, WI. If you remember, Sean caused a minor media blitz when Rachel (San Francisco) (his wife) announced he might run for office in Wisconsin.

I'm also getting official word that the Challenge will officially be in Telluride, Colorado. A preliminary confirmation list I have recieved is Montana, Elka, Veronica, Rachel (BTNY), Abram, Alton, Irulan, David (NO), Matt (NO), Laterrian, Sarah (Campus Crawl), Theo (Chicago), Rachel (Campus Crawl), Trishelle, Mike (BTNY), and Shawn (SAS).

That's it for today. Have a great day.

Rumors beginning about San Diego cast; Melissa is in Maxim Magazine

Sorry for the delay in the updates. There has been serious difficulties within the past few weeks. Hopefully, updates will become more frequent in the next few weeks. Well, there has been news here and there, but I wouldn't say anything to really "freak out" about.

Speaking of "freak", catch Janet (Seattle) in Disney's latest movie, Freaky Friday. She plays a doctor in the film. The movie stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Mark Harmon, and Lindsay Lohan.

San Diego is set to start filming at the end of July, the beginning of August. There is word buzzing about new castmembers. And also another piece of good news for the Real World... After The Osbournes rise as MTVs #1 show... The Real World: Paris has regained the top spot as MTVs #1 show, with Osbournes ratings steadily falling. Here's to another 13 years!

Melissa (New Orleans) is appearing in the August issue of Maxim magazine. Try to catch her. Thanks to several people who emailed that in. You can check her out at maximonline.com in the "Girls" section.

And to everyone who emailed links, I'm working on updating them. The mailbox is heavily backed up. Sorry for the inconvenience.
