Mike will appear on the fourth season of WWE's Tough Enough

Mike (Back to New York) has been chosen as one of the fifty finalist on WWE's Tough Enough 4. Strangely enough, a reality television star was selected as a finalist for another reality tv show. Three seasons of Tough Enough have aired on MTV. This season, Tough Enough is part of Thursday night's Smackdown. Mike will compete in a two-day final this weekend in Venice Beach for one of the eight spots on the show. The winner gets $1 million and a WWE contract. Good luck to Mike and we wish him all the best! Click here for the article. Thanks to Jason for that information!

Philadelphia house is still in its original Real World state after filming ends

Here's an update on the Philadelphia house by a recent visitor:

"On a recent trip to Philadelphia, I went down to the Old City section of Philly to do some sightseeing. The house, which is on Third and Arch, is only three or four blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. The neighborhood looks kinda seedy, especially down the street on Third. However, the house still looks beautiful and is in its Real World state, without all the lights. The flower boxes are still present and there are still some sort of furnishings in the loft. You could see plants through the windows, but all the drapes were drawn, so it was impossible to look into the house. The sign in front of the house, including the bus stop have both been replaced. You can't really tell it was a Real World house, except for the people who snap photos of it every once in a while."

Real World 16 may be in Atlanta or Washington DC

The Bert Show, which once counted Lindsay (Seattle) as one of their hosts, has announced that The Real World will film its sixteenth season in Atlanta. Check the link here. They say that the projected location is in a high-rise condo in Midtown. Up until now, Washington DC has been considered a popular choice amongst fans, with a false "house sighting" in the Adams Morgan section of DC. No official word yet from Bunim-Murray, who has been known to through a curveball at times. (Most recently, many thought Season 13th would have been filmed in Atlanta, but Paris was chosen.)

Steven is sent home for slapping Shane; Shane hooks up with Nick

Here's some more information on Battle of the Sexes 2. Highlight to read:

Apparently, Steven (Las Vegas) makes it relatively far in the Challenge. He's very close to making it to the final three. However, an incident occurs in which I'm told Steven "accidentally" slaps Shane (Campus Crawl) and some sort of a huff is made about it. It's unclear what exactly happens or if Steven gets voted off or is sent home, but it has something to do with his hitting Shane.

Speaking of Shane, supposedly he and Nick (Xtreme) did have something going on during filming. However, it's supposed to be well-hidden and away from the cameras. So we might not even see any of it.
