New York's Kevin will not be running for Congress in newly created district

Besides Sean (Boston), another castmember has thrown their hat into the political circus. Kevin (New York) ran for Congress in Brooklyn.

Kevin now and then.

Kevin (New York) challenged Ed Towns as recently as two years ago. Ed Towns recently made the news when he announced that he would retire at the end of his 15th term. Kevin will not be running for office, but he did comment on the situation.

I think it’s a great day for Brooklyn and New York City politics,I think it’s a great day for Brooklyn and New York City politics... It definitely represents, finally, a shifting. And we are proud of where we come from, because even though we are proud of where we come from, we see the world a little bit differently than the older guard of black leadership." Kevin is still an active part of the Brooklyn community.

Real World New York's Kevin is running for Congress once again

Kevin (New York) who is party of the group of the first set of Real Worlders is running for Congress. Kevin put up a new website where he'll be running in a congressional district in Brooklyn. The district is heavily Democratic, so he'll have to challenge the incumbent congressman who has been in office for several years now.

Kevin also has the distinction of being the oldest Real Worlder ever. Kevin was the oldest of his cast and older than any of the other subsequent castmembers.

Good luck to Kevin!

Eric Nies will be the next alumni to be a part of the Celebrity Paranormal Project

The last we heard of Eric Nies (New York) was that he was training a sumo wrestler in preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. That was shortly after Battle of the Sexes 2 aired, which he won.

Yesterday, to our surprise, he showed up on the promo for Celebrity Paranormal Project, the Fear-like series which brings together celebrities to investigate paranormal sites around the United States. Tonya (Chicago) recently filmed an episode of the show.

Eric will be joining celebrities like Nicole Eggert and Ernie Hudson to investigate paranormal activity next Sund

ay only on VH1's Celebreality. If you're a fan of Eric, don't miss it.

Andre's band, The Andre Comeau Band, has album available at iTunes

Andre (New York), who is part of that group of alumni that we don't hear much, is in a band called none other that the Andre Comeau Band. They've been together for about two years and they recently released their latest album on iTunes. So, if you were a fan on Andre (New York) in his Real World years, check out his new stuff.

Also, his band is on MySpace. You can preview the music there and check out his latest appearances in the Los Angeles area. Good luck to Andre and his band.

Road Rules is looking to be redesigned for a new day at aMTV; Kevin will be running for Congress

Yeah, we messed up, yet again. So that makes two mistakes in a season that we were pretty much dead-on the entire time. So to the hundreds of emails that came in, demanding for an apology or basically telling us that "We suck"... Yes, yes, we do. We get spoilers in all the time and even coming from the castmembers themselves, they're sometimes wrong. So, yes, we apologize for our second Gauntlet blunder.

So in an attempt at redemption or making everyone's day a little better, there's some news on Road Rules (finally). Ever since being put "on hiatus" by MTV, when they didn't pick up Road Rules for additional seasons (but never canceling it), the status of the series has always been up in the air ever since. Over at BMP's new launch site of M Theory Entertainment, a shoot-off of their main production company, they are mentioning that they are re-tooling the series in an attempt to get it picked up by MTV once again. The re-tooling? They're going to add a little fan interaction into the series. No word on how exactly this will be done, but the last time Road Rules was re-tooled, Jisela (The Quest) was the first person to be voted off the series as a result. The Challenge also has yet to be picked up for another season after the upcoming Fresh Meat Challenge, but don't expect the Challenge to be put "on hiatus", as the series still picks up respectable ratings.

And Kevin (New York) is running for Congress. Yes, Kevin will be running in the 10th Congressional District in Brooklyn, New York, vying for a seat in the House of Representatives. Although his campaign is in its earliest stages, you can check out his website at KevinPowell2006.com.

Kevin gets into a fight with a reporter from Stuff Magazine

The New York Post is reporting that Kevin (New York) got into a brawl with a writer from Stuff magazine recently. Check out all the details here.

Site experiencing problems; Norman opens a website

Blogger wasn't uploading correctly for the past few days. Anyway, for the time being we are able to update. Just a small note: Visit Norman (New York) on his website at http://www.normankorpi.com. He talks about the Gauntlet.

Jisela gets the boot from Road Rules; Teck, Nathan, Beth, Syrus, Ruthie on the Wedding Video; Rumored cast of Chicago

Poor little Jisela... She got the boot. Read our episode guide of that episode and the latest Real World episode where the kids work and Lori sings:

Also, we got some more news. Dane and Chris are still working on the column for Norman's movie the Wedding Video. They are still working hard and we're looking to bring that to you soon. We got encounters with stars of the movies, and people including Teck (Hawaii), Nathan (Seattle), Beth S. (Los Angeles), Syrus (Boston), and Ruthie (Hawaii).

Also, I've been emailed like 1,000,000 corrections of the names of the RW Chicago! Here's what I have so far: Theo, Lars, Kyle, Chris, Tanya, Ariel, Nora, and Cara. As you notice, there are four guys. It has been reported that two cast members, one male and one female, have left cast to appear in RW12, which is rumored to be in Philadephia, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas or Atlanta. They reportedly chose to leave after the protesting and murders at the house.

In reality TV news, I urge you to check out the new shows. Murder in Small Town X is probably the best new show you're not watching! Well, at least in terms of reality. It's a really well put together show and has a lot of good elements. Spy TV and Fear Factor can get a little tiring. It's just the same thing over and over and over. Cannonball Run 2001 was good... For about 5 minutes. It really needed a lot more to run on. After the first episode, it seemed to lose its gas. BMP is also coming out with two new reality shows and a reality MOVIE. The first show, which is premiering soon on FOX, is called Love Cruise. It's kinda like Temptation Island, but they vote people off. It looks good. Also, they are casting for a new show set to premiere on the WB called Lost in the USA, which is a wannabe Road Rules. The movie is called The Wedding. Details are still sketchy about the last two at this point. New shows to watch for: NBC's Lost and CBS's The Amazing Race. Those look to be really good, but don't expect them to have an impact like Survivor. Also, Big Brother 2 seems to be dwindling down with only Monica, Hardy, Bunky, Nicole, and Will left in the house. Personally, I want either Nicole or Monica to win, but everyone knows it's either going to be Hardy or Will. And if you haven't heard, Survivor 3: Africa is running into problems with the protests of using the Shaba Reserve to film the show. The show is already halfway through, and should premiere soon. Survivor 4 is currently casting.

Eric is hosting a show on ABC Family; Frank has a cameo in American Wedding

Sorry for the lack of updates within the past few days. It's been difficult to get updates on the blog lately. I again, apologize for the inconvience. There has been some interesting news submitted by people who visit the blog.

Eric (New York) seems to be reliving his old days as the host of the Grind. Nies, who recently appeared in both Battle of the Seasons and Battle of the Sexes, will host a new show on ABC Family called Dance Fever. Thanks to Tom for that information.

And joining people like Jacinda (London) (The Human Stain, Ladder 49) and Janet (Seattle) (Freaky Friday), Frank (Las Vegas) will be making a small appearance in the movie American Wedding, the third installment of the American Pie series. When Michelle and Jim get married, Frank somehow gets thrown in the mix as a "Gay Bar Back"... We don't know either... Thanks to Den for that.

The handsome reward for the Quest is a Suzuki; The Wedding Video is coming from Norman

Hey! New Road Rules news! Seems like the handsome reward is going to be an automobile of some kind. We're still unclear about what it is (motorcycles, etc.,). But we are 100% sure that the new handsome reward will be of Suzuki model! Just a little Road Rules news for ya!

Also, Dane just told me that he and Chris are sorry for the wait and they are still working on the article for the Wedding Video. We didn't forget about that! That's just about it, y'all! Have a wonderful day!
