A Little Monday Afternoon Gossip

Real World

Enough curious links and salacious items wound up in my inbox over the weekend that I thought I’d simply share them here in this all-in-one TVgasm gossip post.

  • Reality Blurred had the wonderful privilege of seeing Real World: Austin couple Danny and Melinda talk at a local college (a joy I shared just three months ago). Danny unsurprisingly denies that MTV bought his wedding ring, and he also reveals that he just finished shooting a Real World/Road Rules Challenge down in Australia. Of course, when I met Danny at his Cal State Northridge “lecture,” he was so furious with his portrayal on the show that he promised to never ever EVER go on a Challenge. Funny how money and idiocy can change things. Most amusingly though, Danny then complains that he had to reimburse MTV $336.97 three times for repeatedly breaking a lamp in the phone area. Hey dude, here’s a tip. STOP BREAKING THE DAMN LAMP.
  • In other Real World: Austin gossip news, there’s this crazy rumor started by a blog called My Little Agenda that our favorite bowl-cut poseur Wes was mauled by a kangaroo in Australia. Insiders tell me that despite the highly detailed reporting, this is all a sham (don’t I sound very cool saying “insiders”?). But then again, I do know that Wes was a mysterious no-show for an interview at a certain TV show (that I work on) a few weeks ago. Maybe he was stuck in traffic. Or maybe he was ailing from a KANGAROO ATTACK!!!! I guess we’ll find out in time. No word, by the way, on whether or not the kangaroo has been dropped from Wes’s groupie drawer (probably not).
  • In case you haven’t already seen it, this person like totally heard some awesome gossip about Laguna Beach! Read it with a grain of salt, but enjoy anyway.
  • Our friend Perez Hilton went to Mekhi Pheiffer’s holiday party Saturday night where he met Urkel of all people. Of course, if you fly with the TVgasm crowd, you know that exactly one year prior to the day, Urkel was hangin’ out at B-Side’s birthday party on the Sunset Strip. He was really cool. As am I for bragging about it, natch.

    um, does anyone else not buy this crap about having to pay mtv practically $1000 for a damn lamp? granted, the crap they furnish the mansions are expensive, but im thinkin he had to re-imburse them for something OTHER than a lamp…im thinking, oh i dont know, an engagement ring?

    Kangaroos are gorgeous (wallabies are smaller and cuter) but they can be v scary when angered. They can balance back on their tail and gouge and slash you with their powerful feet.
    You really don’t wanna get too close to them.

    Here’s my question — if you have a house full of drunken buffoons, and if one of those buffoons keeps breaking the same $400 lamp, wouldn’t you either move the lamp, or buy a cheap knockoff?

    Were they worried about scene continuity??? Nehemiah’s editing *star wipe* could have fixed that.

    I watched the sh** they shouldv’e shown on overdrive and they talk about why they had to pay for lamps and other broken objects. They destroyed so much furniture (remember Wes’s little rampage of throwing stuff into the pool) that they forced them to start paying for stuff they destroyed.

    Yeah I met Jaleel White (Urkel) a few weeks ago when he gave a lecture at UF. Nice guy, but he acted like Family Matters was Shakespeare. When he walked out on stage he received applause (of course) and then said in a straight voice “Did I do that?” Auditorium wasn’t that big though. He started crying when he talked about the 9th season, resulting in quite a few snickers from the audience. Which led him to say “It’s alright, I can take it, I’m a real negro.” Eh.

    Happy B-Day B-Side. I hope I understood that. If my math is correct this salutation is in order. You make me chortle and guffaw with great regularity. Like every 92 minutes.

    since when did $336 become almost $1000?

    and by the way…..wes, you’re hideous and disgusting. and your personality sucks; you’re not even one of those guys that girls will meet and say “well, he’s not cute, but his personality makes him kind of cute.” i hope you read this.

    ugh. he’s so gross. i don’t know why he thinks so much of himself…just cause some whores wanted to get on mtv doesn’t make you the man.

    Uk, that makes me dislike danny even more. How is he gonna lie and say that MTV didn’t buy his ring. Why else would they mention the jeweler? Well, now that I think of it, maybe they gave him a discount if they mentioned the jeweler on air? I’d much rather believe that MTV bought the ring. ha

    i would be pissed if my boyfriend said this on tv.

    Danny said MTV did not pay for the engagement ring he gave Melinda. “I wish,� he said, adding later, “I’ll be paying that shit off the rest of my life.�

    hes acting like mel is a burden.

    um, carolyne… i think you’re a little confused….?

    anyway, i don’t know alikat…i don’t know anyone who LOVES paying a lot of money for stuff. i doubt he meant it like that; we don’t know how he said or if he was laughing, etc.

    i don’t feel buying christmas presents for people is a burden, but if someone else offered to spend the money….sure, why not?

    oh, and by the way, that last comment in no way indicates that i think this is a genuine relationship that will last…well, we’re all celebrity gossip lovers, so you know what i mean. lol.

    my point was that i don’t think danny was being a dick about it.

    I can see your point Lilu. He just gives me the impression of being that way so I think that is why I took his comment to be kind of mean. I definitely know that when reading something you can take it out of context so he could definitely be joking.

    I just dont like the guy..really only after the show. I guess his tan bothers me. hehe

    About a month ago I was giving a lecture at my old college and as I was leaving the student center, a massive amount of people were packed in line waiting to get into the main auditorium. I figured something REALLY big must be going on from the size of the crowd. I asked someone what was up and you can imagine my shock when the answer was “Urkel’s speaking.” WTF?! Urkel’s drawing this type of crowd?! I would have stayed but opted to go get dinner instead. I was dying to know what Urkel could be speaking about though.

    K so my friend gaby and I went to the RH4T running thing for Dieter. This is how it went. So MTV was there andthey kept telling everyone to scream as if Dieter had just crossed the finishline, when in fact they were just practice rounds. So anyway, as we heard the final cheering round, we ran back to get in line for the meet and greet, because obviously Roz was 10 times more important to see. So they announce Jessica first and everyone is kinda clapping kinda thinking go home.. no one cares. But anyway then ROZ came out andshe waved to my friend,it a very satisfying moment. We then continued to stalk her and finally got pictures with her! Gaby felt bad for Jessica (most likely because she had broken up or whined at every person there once or twice before) because no one was talkign to her, so she asked her to sign a piece of paper, she was really overjoyed by it and looked up saying YEAH! like no one had asked her that before.. but anyway, it waspretty intense.
