So you know how 8 girls from the show did, Playboy? So, you may be thinking... Well, what about the guys? It seems that Playgirl has been trying to actively recruit male castmembers of The Real World and Road Rules to do a pictorial in Playgirl. Of those who has been offered is Mike (Back to New York). It is unclear on WHO has been asked, but they've been looking for people since Veronica, Jisela, Flora, and Beth first posed.

In her June newsletter for her fan club, Trishelle (Las Vegas) reveals that both Katie (The Quest), Mike, and Coral (Back to New York) will be taking part of the new challenge this summer. Now, Trishelle, Katie, Mike, and Coral will also join Theo (Chicago) and Matt (New Orleans) in this summer's Challenge. To join the fan club, go here.

And joining the ranks of former alumni like Trishelle, is Mary Beth (South Pacific). Yes, Mary Beth is posing for Playboy. She actually revealed this information on the casting special for South Pacific, but you can see her page at Playboy here. Trishelle, Katie (The Quest), and Arissa (Las Vegas) will all be appearing in a summer edition of Playboy. Veronica (Semester At Sea), Jisela (The Quest), Flora (Miami) and Beth S. (Los Angeles) all posed in Playboy last year. Thanks to Jason for that.

The Real World: Paris book comes out on November 30. Thanks to Tiger for that information. You can preorder it right here.

For those of you worried about Melissa's site being gone for good... Don't worry. Melissa's website recently ran out its lease over its domain and the site was temporarily down. The domain was updated a few days ago and should be up and running soon!

Two last names are out from the new casts: Clyde "Ace" Amerson and Abram Boise. To see the compiled list of all cast members from both The Real World and Road Rules go to IMDB.com and do a search on The Real World or Road Rules.

Meet (from L to R) Adam, Mallory, Ace, Leah, Chris, Christina, and Simon: The cast of The Real World 13: Paris



Some info on who's sharing a room: Ace and Christina will be sharing a room. Chris or CT (as he is called on the site) and Adam will be sharing a room. Mallory, Leah, and Simon will be sharing a room. And they also have an interesting part of the website called The Real World Personality Quiz. They basically give you your own bio as if you were a castmember. But they also equate you to one of the Paris castmembers. And who are you most likely to hook up with and fight with. Very interesting.

OH MY GOSH! They posted The Real World: Paris site. Check it out. Also MTV is now running promos on the show.

Kristin at E-Online also had to say this about this season of Road Rules:

"It actually starts next Monday, May 26, I believe. And it sounds juicy--lots of drama and tension and yes, voting off. As some of you know, I was in New Zealand about a month ago and did a week of Road Rules with five other reporters--including a mission. You can see me in all my reality-TV glory (and humiliation) on E! News Live Tuesday and Thursday at 7 p.m., on E! And the next upcoming column will have the lowdown on my trip, the new cast and everything you don't know about Road Rules.

And she also mentioned that the Real Worlders will be working as writers for a travel guide book on Paris. And she mentioned that every single person in the house is single (except for Simon who found a boyfriend shortly before coming on the show.)

Shane and Rachel (Campus Crawl) just introduced the world to the cast of Road Rules: South Pacific... And now... they reveal a bit of information... Not one, not two, but three people will be kicked off Road Rules this season. This means that Road Rules: South Pacific will match The Real World: Los Angeles as the biggest casts. (They both have nine castmembers.) The reason why three people are being kicked off is because the way that production set up the game this year. Once the group fails two missions, they HAVE to kick off a fellow castmember. There are no individual prize missions, just one final handsome reward. Looks like there will be major nudity, tension, and a potential fight (between Donnell and Abram) You don't want to miss this!

Road Rules XII
South Pacific
Tonight at 10:00pm ET

Watch as Abe, Cara, Christena, Dave, Donnell, and Marybeth get chosen for the trip of a lifetime.

And today is the last day to turn in tapes for Real World 14. All casting calls have been announced (ending in early June in Riverside, CA). Go to the Casting Page to see all dates.

Kit (USA Tour 1) will be taking part in ABCs hit daytime talk show, The View. She will co-host this Wednesday with the four regular hosts. To see airtimes, go to The View's Website. There have been other Real World/Road Ruler types who have actually went to co-host that show. Lindsay (Seattle) actually tried out for the spot left empty by Debbie Matenopolous. But once they tried her out, they deemed her too young. Rachel (San Francisco) actually made it to the finals with two other women, but eventually lost the spot to the now split Lisa Ling. Kit herself works at FOX where she is a correspondent for the news magazine, The Pulse and were she used to be co-host of Celebrity Journal. She's now married.

For those of you looking for information about the Real World 14... Well, it seems like they're doing this season a tad bit early. This season will be filmed in August of 2003. This is a bit early on the schedule for BMP. The only season to be filmed in mid-year like this was Chicago, when Bunim-Murray tried to avoid the wintery-windy season by having it in the summer months instead of winter. Usually, BMP films each season of the Real World beginning in January through March. This can give a hint to the locale that they are choosing for next season. An unfavorable place for Season 14? BMP will most likely announce the spot in an official press release, but many people think it will be a Texas city this time around.

And also, want to see a picture of Mallory from Paris? Valerie sent us a link of Mallory at the Iowa State soccer website.

The Real World Gnome is getting pictures like crazy. If you haven't signed up for MTVs postcards from the Gnome... go to MTV.com and do it. There's interesting pictures like an exterior shot of "the Real World Chateau". There's more promised to come!
