Melissa (New Orleans) who has stepped out of the limelight for a couple of years has recently gotten married to her longtime boyfriend. Late last month, her and Justin Beck officially tied the knot. Melissa, who now goes by Melissa Beck, had the wedding in New York, but it seems that no Real World or Road Rules alum were in attendance. (Update: Coral (Back to New York) did attend.)

Melissa from New Orleans has recently posted on her website that she is enaged to the infamous J

If you visit Melissa's (New Orleans) website, you probably know that she has a boyfriend that she only refers to as "J". He's in a band. For a long time, no one knew who he was until Melissa posted a picture of him on her MySpace.

Anyway, Melissa recently announced on her webpage in a long, long, long post that she and J are engaged. The two have been living in Long Island for quite a bit of time and we congratulate both Melissa and J on their recent engagement!

Nothing new to report. Today marks the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. As unpertinent as the shows are to 9/11, Lori (Back to New York) fills us in, five years later about how she experienced 9/11. Her and Coral (Back to New York) actually made it out of NYC the day prior and headed to Boston. There, they met up with Melissa (New Orleans) who was scheduled to fly stand-by on Flight 11, but slept in. She also mentions how Julie (New Orleans) was actually enroute to the airport to catch Flight 11 also, but how she got into a fight with her boyfriend over the phone and turned her cab around to stay in Boston. Check it out.

New Orleans cast gives their thoughts about Hurricane Katrina

MTV recently caught up with some members of the cast of the Real World New Orleans to get their thoughts on Hurricane Katrina. Check out what they had to say here.

Melissa posts about Katrina; Keri, Blair, Theo have roots in the area

After Friday's post about Hurricane Katrina, the disaster seems to have reached more alumni than we thought. Melissa (New Orleans) posted her thoughts on the events over at her blog. She updates information about Lionel Milton, the artist friend who she made while in New Orleans who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina.

Also, we have received various questions about different castmembers who we didn't mention on Friday. Keri (Chicago) was thought to be living in New Orleans with her family. Both Blair (The Quest) and Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour) are also thought to have family and friends living in Louisiana and surrounding areas. Although we have heard no updates on these castmembers, we hope all is well.

To help with relief efforts, you can go to FEMA's website or the Red Cross' website.

Trishelle, Genesis, Belfort update after the devestation that is Katrina

As the devastation of Hurricane Katrina is becoming more apparent, especially in the city of New Orleans, many of you have been sending in emails, concerned about castmembers and their families. Specifically, people have been concerned about Trishelle (Las Vegas) and Genesis (Boston).

Trishelle (Las Vegas) who grew up and still has family in Cutoff, LA has said that her family is safe. Since the hurricane left many towns in complete devastating, most of her family has since relocated to Texas or West Louisiana. Although it took her two days to reach her family, Trishelle has had some trouble contacting close friends that live in the Biloxi, New Orleans and Gulfport areas. "It's very sad. I didn't have contact with my family for almost 2 days after the storm. I've received several messages from friends through text (I think they may get service every once in a while). All of the messages from my friends have basically said they are homeless, some of them trying to go to another state closeby to find a job and start to rebuild their lives." Our best wishes go out to Trishelle, her family and her friends.

Genesis (Boston) also grew up in Gulfport, MS, which was heavily hit by Katrina. Although Genesis wasn't believed to still be living in Gulfport, we have yet to hear word about her family in that region. We hope Genesis, her family and friends are doing OK.

Among trivial matters, people have been asking about the Belfort, the house used in the New Orleans season of The Real World. Although the house, which was located on St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District, is yet to be confirmed flooded, 80% of the city of New Orleans is underwater. The house was located only two miles from the Superdome, so chances are the Belfort was damaged during Katrina. Large parts of that area of New Orleans are known to have been flooded. However, the house may be unrecoverable amid reports on CNN, that some anticipate the increasing toxicity of flood waters will render New Orleans uninhabitable for anywhere from a year to a decade.

The best way to help, especially if you do not live close to the affected areas, is to donate to the relief fund. You can check out the Amazon/Google joint fundraiser to donate to the American Red Cross. If you want to help by donating or volunteering in other ways, you can check out the CNN Help Page or check out the Red Cross' website which offers ways to donate and volunteer with your local Red Cross chapter.

Landon opens a new website; Melissa, Trishelle, Mike, Theo, Coral appear on BONRS

Landon (Philadelphia) is the first castmember on his season to open a website. Check out landonlueck.net.

Also, Battle of the Network Reality Stars is premiering next Wednesday on Bravo. The show is getting a lot of attention in recent days leading up to its premiere. The show will feature Melissa (New Orleans), Theo (Maximum Velocity Tour), Coral (Back to New York), Mike (Back to New York) and Trishelle (Las Vegas) as a sideline reporter. Although initial reports had the four teaming up as their own "Real World/Road Rules" team, there are actually four teams of eight contestants, with each team vying for a $80,000 prize package. The classic format should have the cast teaming up according to their own network. However, this seems to be a problem as the show is overrun by CBS castmembers and has only one representative from UPN and ABC each. Other participants? Nikki McKibbin (American Idol), Ryan Starr (American Idol, The Surreal Life 3), Adam Mesh (Average Joe), Charla & Mirna (Amazing Race), Chip & Kim (Amazing Race), Jonathan & Victoria (Amazing Race), Richard Hatch (Survivor), Sue Hawk (Survivor), Mike Malin (Big Brother), Will Kirby (Big Brother), Evan Marriott (Joe Millionaire)... In addition to Trishelle, Omarosa (Apprentice, The Surreal Life 5) will be one of the several others doing the commentating.

By the way, TV Guide's reason not to miss the premiere episode? The collective cast teaming up to dunk Coral (Back to New York) in the water tank because of her "abrasive personality and tiny bikini". It airs Wednesday 9pm/ET on Bravo.

Side note: Melissa (New Orleans) makes mention of an incident that happened between her, Coral and Omarosa. It's a bit of a preview as she plans to update once the show begins next week with a brand new blog. Check it out here. And also, as always, The Miz will be updating you from his online Challenge diary, where he already promises drama and competition.

The latest Pit Stop in the Amazing Race was the site of the Battle of the Sexes; Coral, Mike, Melissa spotted doing a photo shoot

For those of you who are Amazing Race fans and caught the finale last night, you might have recognized the 11th pit stop in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Why is this Real World/Road Rules news? Because that hotel and villa was the site of Battle of the Sexes I. That's right, the Race had the Round Hill Resort as their pit stop for the 2nd to last leg of the race.

Also, I'm getting emails from several different people saying that they saw Coral (Back to New York), Mike (Back to New York) and Melissa (New Orleans) on Hollywood Blvd. doing a photo shoot. It's unclear what it was for, but it appears not to be directly related with the shows. More info to come on this soon.

Also, here are several different articles on the Austin season:
