TV ROUND UP: THE REAL WORLD “HOLLYWOOD” CAST / ALICIA KEYS ON ‘THE VIEW’ / CLASH OF THE CHOIRS
Friday, December 21, 2007

The Real World just wrapped up on its twentieth season taping of the new Hollywood cast and here is half of the confirmed cast members. Now of course, all 5 were not originally in the house - Britini and Nick were later added to the cast after 2 houseguests ended up leaving for whatever reasons.
One glance of all of these good looking black folks, and you would think College Hill was moving to MTV. According to the Vevmo Real World forum, the cast of this season’s real world are aspiring actors, models, and etc.
ALICIA ON THE VIEW

Alicia Keys stopped by The View this week and spoke on Jamie Lynn Spears and her pregnancy. She was quoted as sending this message to the young teen:
“I think that maybe she can use this opportunity to talk about the ways that it’s really important to have safe sex and it’s difficult [for teens] to refrain and restrain but it’s really important because it changes your whole life.”
Right on Miss Keys. Mary J. Blige and John Legend were also quoted on congratulating Spears and giving wise words of advice.
CLASH OF THE CHOIRS OVER

Yep its over and I felt kind of sad that Miss Patti couldn’t take this one. Nick Lachey and his choir won the $250,000 for a charity of his choice. Though I felt Patti and her choir was more raw with it, all contestants come out winners and will still receive funds for their charities.

Dang CL thanks for ruining the suprise that some housemates would be leaving the show prematurely, lol. Nevertheless, I dont think it has been this many black people on Real World since the Vegas cast. I’ll be tuning in.

“Mary J. Blige and John Legend were also quoted on congratulating”
Please tell me this is a misquote. Why are they congratulating her?!?!? She is a 16 yr old about to have a baby. With that attitude, teen pregnancy will continue to raise.
Yes! I think Patti’s choir should have won too. But they were all good. I’m glad they were ALL rewarded.

I am shocked (and glad) that they have more African Americans on The Real World this season. Usually they have one or none. I’ll be watching when I can. I wonder if any of them will make it to The Real World/Road Rules shows…….

So I take it it’ll be the lowest rated RW in a long time with all the color this season. We all know MTV don’t like anything dealing with color.

I was going to say the same thing. But if you look, it says the pictures are ” only half of the cast”. It’s still more Blacks than every before though.

This is the sexiest cast on The Real World in a long time……..I am a fan again. About time MTV. I remember when it was only one token black person.
I saw Alicia on The View….she held her own. She can do no wrong.
Poor Kelly, cant get shit right……LOL! But congrats to Nick……I guess.

RW only has 7-8 (8 I think) people per season. So these 5 are more than half the cast. There only 2 or 3 people left.

Congrats to Team Cincinnati!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I slept through most episode of shows, all of the choirs sounded okay between me coming in and out of a comatosed sleep.
I really want to say WHO THE FUCK CARES about the Spears clan. This happens around the world on a daily basis. But now this trailer trash skallywag chooses to go out and lay down with a man, unprotected and pops up pregnant………..now ppl want to give a damn! And the baby daddy should be charged with rape as well. I vaguely heard that he was 18 and she’s 16, isn’t that considered by law as RAPE!!!!!!!?

Wow that many Black faces on Real World? They ususally have one or maybe 2 per season, so 3 at once is very schocking.
I wish ppl would speak their minds on the Jamie Lynne situation and stop tryna sugar coat it. Her little fast ass shoulda been on birth control.
How the hell can Nick Lachey’s choir beat PATTI LABELLE’S??!! Are you serious? lol

I don’t understand what the big deal is about the young lady getting pregnant. A culture has been created in this society where a child is supposed to be an annoyance or a hindrance as opposed to a blessing (Psa 127:3). I’m not advocating children to have children, but she is pregnant and she has decided to keep the child, so what is the point of the negativity? The only excuse that can be used is that she’s not mature enough to cope with the responsibilities that come with raising a child but that’s where her family is supposed to assist her. In addition to that, money is not an issue for her. Honestly, a closeted lesbian and an Illuminati shill like Alicia Keys should be the last person to give advice about child-birth or child-bearing. “Women” like her and Beyonce won’t be pregnant until they get into their late thirties and then they’ll have “twins” like all the caucasian, Hollywood, in-vitro test dummies that they aspire to be like.

Miss Keys looks very nice in Red. Those were very wise words that she gave Jamie Lynn. I had my son when I was 15 and I was so ashamed of being pregnant that I didn’t tell anyone. My mom finally took me to the doctors when I started to “show” at 7 months. So I applaud Jamie Lynn for being brave enough to tell her mother early on.
I’m 27 now, and my son is about to be 12 and I don’t know what I’d do without him!! Everything happens for a reason. I managed to finish High School and College and now I mentor teenage girls. So Jamie Lynn can definitely make a positive out of this.
P.S. Patti’s Choir REALLY should have won!! I tried to vote, but I couldn’t get through :(.

Its sad that the last 3 or 4 Real World cast had either 1 or no African American faces. I think that they (the casting directors) noticed the premise was starting to get a little played out, kinda like what Top Model is turning into…What “real world” has no black or hispanic,chinese, or whatever else in it? Where are the storylines that deal with racism, sexism? I stopped watching before “real world london” , and I’m an avid fan. I hope these negroes dont clown, for real… I dont have time to be explaining the do’s and dont’s of Black people to my white coworkers the next day.

Judah you are right about Jamie Lynn but what you say about Alicia Keys and Beyonce is completely false and very ignorant. Its funny to see how someone can be so intelligent in one are but so foolish and full of hate in the other. I think people need to ease off the Spears family and save their judgements for themselves

i’m glad MTV got it together, because this season of Real World, there are NO black people. I was frustrated. I mean normally, they follow a type cast of at least one black guy, a gay guy, some blond party girls, and a sensible and sheltered conservative type. The real world sydney just sucks. and yesss…boo boo in the pic next to the black and white….YESSSSS!!!!! I like…
Uhm, I just want to say that I watched Clash of the Choirs, because I love Kelly, and when she got excused after the first night, I was not happy. But on everything that’s real, I think Miss Patti got robbed, and even though it was for charity, it’s still not right. If any one else watched the show…did you see that Patti dipped off the stage while everyone else was up there celebrating with Nick? She walked off mad. LOL, oh well that’s still 50G’s that her charity didn’t have before.
…I love Alicia!!!

About The Real World…I remember when the last College Hill was on (the one where they had the big fight)…MTV played all of those rerun episodes….Maybe it was some type of test…Maybe they wanted to see the amt of ratings they would get by having an all black or mostly black cast…That and the Las Vegas cast was probably one of the best seasons (half black cast)…They even brought them back for a reunion mini season…I don’t think the new all black cast is a coincidence…
Second, about Jamie….I think that it just doesn’t have to do with her age but having Brittney Spears as a sister doesn’t help…Over the last year or two, look what she has been through with the media…

to Judah about reminding us all that the birth of a child is a joy. Let’s not forget that childbirth is a miracle in itself regardless of the circumstances, however I can’t agree with that “other” you said. I believe that was the most unecessary thing I’ve heard this week… thanks Mike (#30)

@30
Whether or not I’m “correct”, “incorrect”, “ignorant”, or “intelligent” has nothing to do with you and I agreeing or disagreeing with each other, lol. The only way that I could be “wrong” about Alicia keys or Beyonce is if their actions prove me wrong, not your own weak, vain opinion. I was using them as an example of what “acceptable” behavior regarding childbirth is in this day and age. I really could care less who’s lesbian or who has children.

We all know the outcome of an all black cast on Real World. MTV alone is known for it’s sex, liquor and lots more sex when it comes to Real World so having an all black cast makes no difference. Shit will get raunchy and stink up the place.

Dang Judah, what did Beyonce do to deserve all of that, lol. Yall be on her crucifying that girl. And she ain’t did nothing but sing, dance, and do her. Oh well, I’ll leave it like that, I’m a fan, not a stan, so I don’t want to get into a big cyber war over her, lol.
#38, I agree. And actually Vegas was one of the most popular seasons. For better or for worse, black people make for good entertainment. So I dont think ratings will suffer at all. I think white’s will tune in, and for those who don’t, the extra black people that will tune in will make up for the difference. I personally like real world anyway, regardless of whose on there, and I actually like the Australia show. I think the muslim girl and her opposers keep things interesting though. For those who are concerned with images of black people on TV, just tune in to one epsisode of the RW and you’ll see that “others” cut up just the same.

When ratings are going down, tv execs always thrown black folks into the mix before the ship finally sinks. MTV is no different.
Nick’s choir was better than Patti’s, but I must say Patti ripped it with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
My only comment on the Jamie Spears thing is that they’re making too much of it. I know one thing, if her boyfriend was black, he would have been under the jail being that he is 19+ while she is 16 (probably younger when they started having sex). A black boy went to jail for getting a blow job from a white girl but we know how America has its double standards.

i see you ladies are already going crazy over the guy next to the cutie with the black and white picture. and im pretty sure that he’ll be the one thats gay lol. im glad Real World is stepping it up as far as casting because this many blacks haven’t been on since RW New York when there was Coral-Malik-and Nicole. But now theres 5 im so happy! But i still think that next season it needs to be whites-blacks-hispanic-asian-and middle eastern people on the show! Then its a real world lol and it will be interesting to see how everyone gets along.

Never anything personal. It’s just an observation. It’s not important enough to be personal. It’s only worth commenting on because these black “celebrities” are too stupid to understand that they’re being used to regurgitate doctrines to move the people towards a certain mindset.

But dont yall see what they’re trying to do on mtv. They see all the shit that goes on in the Flavor of love , I love NY and college hill . They want some of THAT kind of drama becuase they want those numbers. They aint slick thay are trying to capatolize on whats hot they aren’t progressing. Fuck mtv.

Personally, I think that the only reason why MTV is bringing a lot of black folks on the “Real World, is only for one reason…….. DRAMA AND RATINGS!!!! They know that with a black cast their will be stupidity, ignorance, and drama. And what do people like to watch? IGNORANCE AND DRAMA!!! Come on people! Let’s not be happy that they are putting more black people on the Real World. They are doing just like VH1 has been doing for years……. making a mockery out of black folks!!!! Now this will be another show that I will be embarressed to watch.
And Im tired of hearing about Jamie Lynn! Get over it! She’s pregnant…… AND?????????????

People in general are tired of the Real World putting on people because of their looks the first four seasons of the Realworld was not like that and those were the best.
For those who are saying that MTV is racist umm BET and MTV are owned by the same damn people. SO yeah VIACOM is racist.

MTV thought process- damn real world ratings have been declining dramatically the last really popular one was The real world las vegas and the reason it was hot was probably not vegas but the fact that half the cast was black i honeslty cant draw the line between high ass ratings and having a larger amount of blacks on the show but there obviously is a correlation sheet they even had a las vegas reunion show u know they really know what the audience likes
damn the spears family really make fame and fotune look really bad i mean look at all the problems, Horrible parenting, bad decisions concerning marraige and people u sleep with ala KFED, brits vegas wedding, i really hope their story turns out ok but right now it aint looking so good
