TVgasm Recaps

Want to be a reality star but afraid that you're too old to do The Real World? Fear not! The Real World producers have given you a second chance with Summer Share. The ABC show is looking for men and women over twenty-one who want to spend their summer vacationing on man-friendly Fire Island, which means for some lucky strangers, they'll get to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting... a little less polite. C'mon, it's Fire Island, not Vegas. Even the ABC execs have called it "frothy." Nevertheless, it should be fun times, and since I'm sure there are worse ways to spend the summer, check out the casting call in NYC this weekend.

Saturday, May 6th
10 AM -- 5 PM
@ DIP (whatever that is) -- 416 3rd Ave.
New York City, NY 10016

The bleeding heart blue state liberals in Hollywierd are determined to put the gay into weddings across America.

In what is destined to become the gayest show ever, and I don't mean gay as in homosexual, I mean gay as in retarded (thanks Sarah Silverman), New Line is currently casting for wedding singers to compete in the appropriately titled Wedding Singers. It is a paid competition where the winner gets a "cash prize."

The casting is posted as follows:

Male or Female / 21 to 99 / All Ethnicities

New Line Television is casting a TV pilot called "Battle of the Wedding Singers" in which two wedding singers go head to head at a real wedding reception. The bride, groom and guests determine which singer is the best! If you are interested or know someone who is, please respond. From lacasting.com.

It's tough to tell whether this is a desperate ploy to get a piece of the American Idol action or shamelessly promote the over-budget musical The Wedding Singer, also financed by New Line and based on the movie of the same name. Either way, I predict a fun opening episode followed by a few more crap episodes which will likely get yanked off the air and played "exclusively on the internet"—which, until networks figure out how to better utilize it, is just a graveyard of failed shows, such asCBS's Innertube.

I digress; if you aren't cute, young or particularly talented enough for American Idol and feel like ruining a couple's special day, be sure to check out lacasting.com for your chance to be America's Greatest Wedding Singer, which is kinda like being someone's favorite herpes sore.

In our never-ending quest to make sure that there is plenty of trashy television for TVgasm readers to enjoy, we thought we would throw out a note or two about a couple of productions that are now in casting. This first is called Bad Girls from Bunim/Murray, the people who brought you the suckiness of Danny but sort of made up for it by embarrassing him in Fresh Meat. Bad Girls wants to take six bad girls from around the country, send them to Los Angeles to live together, and film the aftermath for all of us to enjoy. If you are somebody you know would be interested, you can find more information at the Bad Girls casting page.

The second casting call is for another edition of The Biggest Loser. Although it was a moderately successful in its first two season, the show kind of stuttered with its "Special Edition" series. This time around, they are specifically looking for judges, teachers, lawyers, chefs, firemen, policemen, active seniors, and ex athletes. Interested people should contact BiggestLoser4casting@hotmail.com for more information.

Is there any better way to spend a summer day than sitting around in Inglewood, waiting for your chance to look like a fool in front of millions? FOX has announced the audition schedule for the American Idol audition tour, starting with Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 8th. Although we rarely have the courage to travel south of I-10 (I officially refuse to call it The 10, the Santa Monica Freeway, or the San Bernadino Freeway starting now), at least we don't have to travel to the 626, 562, or the 909. Therefore, TVgasm will make the journey and cover the action at the Great Western Forum. If you can't make it to LA in August, make sure to check out the full list of locations where you can get your picture taken with Ryan Seacrest, oh, and try out for American Idol as well.

In our latest casting call, we'd like to alert TVgasm readers to a few chances to become reality starts. The first is an opportunity to get your inner PopoZão on. Bunim/Murray is teaming up with VH1 to look for the next great Hip Hop artist. The auditions are this Saturday, July 22nd, so if you are planning on being in the vicinity of Santa Monica, CA and can flip the gift with the rest of them, you should stop on by. If anybody has a rap about Big Brother, Hell's Kitchen, Project Runway, or The Hills, make a video on we'll feature it here. For more information on the audition, visit Bunim/Murray and select the casting page.

For those of you who might not be in Los Angeles, or can't sling the rhymes or even know what that means, how about showing off your puppies? No, really, if your dog is between 4 and 8 months old this September, Kaos entertainment wants you to show them off. Click here for the full details and list of audition locations. Thanks to TVgasm reader derder for the excellent example of puppy cuteness.

This tidbit comes from the most reliable source ever - Umnata's very own mother - Foxy Roxie! If you knew my mother you'd be extremely tickled by the fact that a) she reads TVgasm religously and b) e-mailed me to tell me she has some "scoop". She has got it on good authority (she works in the area) that the finale of Rescue Me is being shot in Bayville, NY on August 2nd and they are currently in the area looking for extras! I don't know the exact location of the shoot, but Bayville is a very small town on the North Shore of Long Island - so it shouldn't be too tough to find! Anyone who has the guts to take on the Ladder 62 boys or finds the shooting location let me know here. In the meantime, I've provided this map of Bayville with potential stalking points. If you're in the area stalking stop by the Bonanza stands for the best Italian Ices in the world. Seems as though Lost isn't the only show that knows how to put a map to good use. Enjoy! And thanks mom!

In our never-ending quest to make sure a TVgasm reader winds up as a cast member on a reality show, we present you with the latest casting news, courtesy of The Real World AND Fresh Meat 2 (that's right, Fresh Meat 2). There will five -- count 'em, five -- open calls this week across the country (or at least, the Eastern half of the country): Iowa, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, NYC, and DC. This could be your chance to be the next Tyler or Svetlana or... Jose (assuming you're a house plant).

So make us proud and become the newest reality star (then promptly report right back to us). Go get 'em, Tiger!
