Kyle (Chicago), fresh off the news that he will be the new addition to Days of Our Lives as Phillip Kirkais, will be appearing on ET on MTV next week to promote his appearance. Thanks to Julie for the news.

Apparently, Arissa, Trishelle (Las Vegas) and Katie (The Quest) will join the ranks of Beth S. (Los Angeles), Flora (Miami), Veronica (Semester At Sea), and Jisela (The Quest) as official Real World/Road Rules Playmates. The issue will be out in June, but is considered the July issue.

And yes, for everyone who has been asking for the past few months. Casting for The Real World 14 (It's unclear if Road Rules will continue on as well.) is now on. The deadline for casting tapes is May 12, so hurry up and go to BMPs Casting Site.

Also, some interesting news about Road Rules. It seems like there is going to be a crest involved (just like The Quest). However, its a different kind of crest. Anyway, the crest has some crazy design involved and each castmember has the option of getting the crest tattoo if at the end of the trip (if they make it that far.) It still functions as a "piece" and there are 12 pieces to the crest. It's sort of a Road Rules tattoo. The last cast to get Road Rules tattoos was Australia with Shayne, Chadwick, and Kefla getting the Road Rules sign and the Christina, Piggy and Susie getting their own individual tattoos.

MTV has put up the Road Rules: South Seas website...



Meet Abram, Cara, Christena, Dave, Donell, and Marybeth as they cruise through Tahiti, Fiji, and New Zealand. This is an adventure you won't forget! Go to the Road Rules website. Road Rules premieres May 26!

The article coming from NIU's newspaper stating that Trishelle and Arissa would be appearing in the June issue is not right. Apparently, both ladies did not show up in the June issue. Read the article that said they would. Anyway, apparently they won't even show up in the July issue...

Since news broke that TVGuide came out with pictures of The Real World Paris house... It has been scanned onto the internet left and right. For the most ready source of the pictures, go to Reality World TV. The house is quaint, nice and is a 1869 house, 30 minutes outside of Paris. The house has hints of the Back to New York house.

Oh, no... Them's are fighting words. One of the twins from the Real Cancun recently did an interview with TV Guide and one of them went as far as to call Trishelle a slut... Here's the article... On further notice, they say that they will pose for Playboy if the opportunity comes along.

And what have your favorite Battle of the Sexes girls done since leaving Jamaica? Well, two Filipinos of the show, Ruthie and Melissa are appearing on Fillipino-run clothing sites. That's right. Check out Ruthie and Melissa modeling off some duds at these sites. Tsinilas Clothing and Pnoy Apparel. Thanks to Nadia for that. (Note: Lori is also half Filipino... Sorry for the mix-up.)

Mohammed and Rachel (San Francisco) will be on tonight's episode of Street Smarts. Check that out if you have the chance.

Know how Trishelle and Arissa are set to be in Playboy's June issue. Well, Sarah Kozer is set to be on the cover of the June issue. Most likely, Hef and company will be pulling off some reality television theme for their June issue. Check for it soon.

We've been hearing that TVGuide has pictures of the Paris house... Is this true? Has anyone else seen these pictures?

And finally... Remember, Rebecca's (Seattle) singing career... Well, it seems the days of "Innocence" and hanging out with high profile stars like Sir Mix A Lot are not over. Rebecca has joined a band with none other than Matrix star Keanu Reeves. Reeves, who has his own band, Dogstar, has recently formed a band with Paulie Kosta, Rob Mailhouse, and Rebecca named "Becky". Check out their site.

And as part of Reality TV Week on Street Smarts... Rachel and Mohammed will be appearing on the show. Check your local listings. (Thanks to Jessica for that info.)

Ruthie, Ellen, Lori, Mark, Jamie and Colin are the final participants of Battle of the Sexes. Congratulations!
