Hello, Hello! More alumni news!

Ever wonder what's going on with your Seattle crew? Well, Nathan has been recently spotted in a Ross commercial. Since the end of his Real World days and VMI, he's gotten the acting bug. Also, Janet is still on Channel One, the educational news program that Lisa Ling from ABCs the View appeared on. Maybe Janet will become the next Diane Sawyer?

And according to Melissa... she was not offered to pose for Playboy. We recently conducted an interview with Julie from her cast, who said that Melissa was offered and she might've have done it. Melissa commented that, "I am not posing for Playboy nor was I offered to and I wouldn't if I had been. I'll be keeping my tatas to myself :). I have zero idea why Julie would make that up."

That's it for tonight!

In more Lori news... Remember when Lori said something about doing a Yoga video, which made her body hurt at her website? Well, if you were looking for the video, this is it. It's called MTV Yoga and it is slated to be released November 26th (Just in time for Thanksgiving Sales)! It is hosted by Lori but is guided by a Yoga instructor named Kristin McGee.
This review was taken off off AMAZON:
Host Lori Trespicio is from The Real World. Instructor Kristin McGee is also referred to as "choreographer." The setting is a New York hotspot, and a cool DJ supplies the music. These are not promising signs if you're seriously into yoga, but MTV Yoga is surprisingly good. Advertised as a "faster-paced, upbeat" alternative to standard yoga workouts, the practice is actually quite traditional, based on the "vinyasa" (i.e., flowing series of poses) style. Beginning with several sun salutations, which are among the most vigorous sets of poses in yoga, it includes a variety of standing positions, lunges, twists, backbends, and so on. McGee knows her stuff, especially when it comes to breath instruction, the focus of any good practice; she also breaks down several of the more difficult asanas following the main 40-minute practice. The only real flaw is that not nearly enough time is allotted for warmup, but experienced yogis could do far worse than MTV Yoga.

Ever wonder about former Real Worlders and what they're doing? Well, one of the most elusive Real Worlders seems to be doing quite well for herself. Jacinda, the beautiful Australian model on the London season, recently finished production on The Human Stain, which stars Oscar-nominated/winners Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, and Gary Sinise. Jacinda who distances herself from reunions, challenges, and other reality television appearances, plays a young mistress to Anthony Hopkins, who in turn is battling a raging controversy, because he has been a black man posing as a white man. The film is set to be released in early 2003.

So, Lori from Real World: Back To New York got a new design, and she's got a new header too. And yes... She is dating Kyle from the Chicago season... But that's old news... (Yawn!) Check out her site at EverythingLori.com!

In Battle of the Sexes news, Lori did add a little commentary on the upcoming Battle. The following is taken from her site:
"Battle of the Sexes" is the Challenge of summer '02. It is scheduled to air January 2003. I'm really looking forward to this one, mostly because I'm not terrified of what the world will see. I think it will be fun-loving. Less action/adventure, more focus on group relations. I stayed out of trouble, which gave me peace of mind. Peace of mind = no air time, so you may not see me. I think what we see on this show will be as new to me as it is to you. I know a lot of shit went down when I was reading Prince of Tides and hanging in the girls villa with Anne and Ruthie (confirmation that Anne and Ruthie will be on the Challenge this year). I'm curious to see, and I'm so excited. Should be fun."
Check it out here. I think we're in for a good season of the Challenge this year.

And for those of you asking about Melissa's (New Orleans) beloved Princess Melissa, it will be back. Melissa recently took up a 9-5 type of job... something she hasn't done since the days before New Orleans. So, she probably doesn't have as much time to post daily on her website. But look for it to reopen January 2003 (she'll probably complement it towards the Challenge.) where we can catch more of Melissa's crazy antics.

Julie from Real World: New Orleans has said that on her website she will be filming an episode on the Blind Date today. She also said that her boyfriend, Gabe, doesn't mind "since I'm getting paid and all. It'll be cool." So she's going on a date with someone she doesn't even know, possibly meeting someone that she likes!? and what happens then? Buh-Bye Gabe? Or Move-over Blind Date! We'll see.

I also wanted to share this picture of Arissa from Real World: Las Vegas that has been popping up in my e-mail box: Click here to view it. That's all I have for now. Send news to me at newrwroad@hotmail.com.
