where are they now?: the first seasons of mtv's real world!

Looking back, the casts of Real World have changed quite a bit... and I don't just mean by growing older. BUT... that's what we're here to look at right now. How they've aged and what they're doing with their lives [assuming they didn't ruin it on MTV].

The first New York and New Orleans seasons, San Francisco, Los Angeles.... we're going way back here.

Amaya from Hawaii, who looks completely different, is now a coach for aspiring TV hosts. I need to holler at her.

Dan from Miami got arrested for masturbating in a theater, and now has an online blog. The tux is just a look.

Jon from Los Angeles is now a pastor in Florida.

Eric from New York- Just turned 41! And has been on all sorts of shows. 

David from Seattle has the title "Vice President of Promotional Revenue." Okay, big shot!

Genesis from Boston is running her own graphic design business in Cali.

Danny from New Orleans is still cute, and that's all that matters. Well, and I wish he became straight.

Jacinda from London was in a couple movies like Bridget Jones and Poseidon!

Irene from Seattle actually tweeted me the other day! She's doing a podcast/blog called "No One's Listening" and wants all the ladies to not shave in December, since guys don't in November.

Jason from Boston has his own casting company.

Judd from San Francisco married his costar Pam, has two kids, and now works for DC Comics!

Leah from Paris looks the exact same, but has a kid these days.

Kelly from New Orleans married Scott Wolf! And have two kids! They probably made great babies.

We all know what Mike the Miz is up to... I just wanted to post this ridiculous picture.

Kevin from New York- has published TEN books and ran for Congress three times.

Montana from Boston looks the exact same and is an acupuncturist.

Matt from New Orleans, another online blogger with a wife and kids.

Norman from New York... an independent film producer

Nathan from Seattle, who apparently hasn't been seen/found since 2008.

Rachel from San Francisco and Sean from Boston [below] got married and have SIX freaking kids. Hi full hands.

Puck from San Francisco- he's been arrested and on TMZ a lot.

Randy from San Diego is now a DJ in Massachusetts... and hopefully doesn't always look that douchey.

Teck from Hawaii was apparently in Van Wilder, Lincoln Heights, and NCIS. I woulda never recognized him.

Tami from Los Angeles- You may recognize her from Basketball Wives, too.

Kat from London is a TV producer and actress, but not any major titles. 

Neil from London is still in England, as a researcher. 

Melissa from New Orleans, also an internet blogger and has a baby.

Sharon from London is a film composer and singer/songwriter.

And [creepy] Lars from London is now a DJ in NYC!

So I guess you can do something with your life beyond more reality shows and jail time after being on the Real World! Or... you can run a blog... or have a really normal life with a bunch of kids.

Also, can I just point out that way back in the day, they weren't focused on picking the hottest/most perfect roommates?! Can we get some more of that without a ton of haterate, or is that too much to ask of 2013?

If you wanna find out about more Real Worlders [a lot who have been seen on recent Challenges], head over to toofab or NY Daily News.

watch etv: the final day in new orleans for mardi gras

It's been exactly a month since we got back from New Orleans, and I have the final video of our adventures there.

This one is probably the biggest clusterf*** of nonsense of them all, and probably the most deliriously drunk you'll ever see me on public video. You wanna see me get more wild? Come to one of my club nights.

The story of Bobby's disappearance, parade footage, and how vuvuzelas can be used as vibrators are just some of the things in this here video.



Weird we got, that's for sure. Still can't believe people made out with the cowboy cheerleader dude. He was completely by himself all weekend, by the way. Never saw him with any friends. What a creeper.

Now the countdown begins for next year. Goal: Get a balcony. All I gotta do is prove to the boss that it's worth it....

I love my job.

watch etv: our second day in new orleans for mardi gras

It's time to experience another day with us in New Orleans for Mardi Gras! It was our first full day there, we woke up with Red Seas [you'll see how ..awesome.. they are in the video], saw a battle of high school bands, pole danced on protesters, got up on a balcony, and of course, saw plenty more boobs.

I wanna say this was my favorite day, but how can I pick a favorite?! They were all very different but equally as nuts! Here... see for yourself!



Watching that back I'm STILL pissed at Bobby for just disappearing for HOURS and not answering his phone until he felt like it. What a dick.

I'll still have one more video to share next week, so get ready! It covers all of the aspects we haven't yet!

[And hopefully you didn't miss video #1 or the pictures...]

watch: ellen practices with the new orleans saints

JUST when I thought I might beat Ellen at something, she won... again.

On her show today she practiced with the New Orleans Saints. She kicked, threw, and even tackled. I think the very beginning and her outfit are the best parts, though.



Damnit she's great. I'm crying in laughter right now!

And if you wanna know what I mean by "I thought I might beat Ellen," stay tuned. Video coming soon. It's good to be back in Redskins Country.

pictures of abandoned new orleans make me sad

A while back I saw a bunch of pictures of the New Orleans Six Flags now that it's been abandoned for over five years and it broke my heart. Now there's a compilation of 70 of the most heartbreaking photos of New Orleans that is really more empty than most of us know.

The census results showed that it's the most "left" city in America- losing 29% of its population in the past 10 years. When I went down for Mardi Gras, it seemed okay. These pictures show a more heartbreaking side, though.

WHY CAN'T THEY JUST FIX EVERYTHING UP REAL QUICK?!
I mean... I understand why they can't, but all of this stuff going to waste is really, really depressing. The schools and theme parks get me the most.

I wish I knew what to say right now.
