I emerge from my HBO-induced haze with some reality show casting news.
Hello, I’ve briefly resurfaced from my tide of HBO-viewing. To compound my TV addiction, a co-worker gave me 24 Season 1 on DVD because he was “worried” that I didn’t have anything to watch this summer. I didn’t think I’d like this show with its “action in real time” conceit, but I’m finding myself strangely addicted, as I hide from my roommate (“I refuse to watch that show”) and covertly feed my growing Jack Bauer crush.
But I have removed myself from television long enough to surf …ah, er… television websites. Yes I’m pathetic, kill me now. Well, actually, wait until the series finale of Battlestar Galactica please.
Some news to share:
Casting Call: FOX will premiere season seven of American Idol next January, and in anticipation has announced its slate of auditions to find the next singing sensation. The first audition will be in San Diego on July 30 at Qualcomm Stadium, followed by several other cities including Dallas August 6; Omaha August 10; Atlanta August 14; Charleston August 18; Miami August 22; and Philadelphia August 27. Specific requirements for the San Diego audition include: participants must be 16-28 years old as of July 28, 2007 and eligible to work in the U.S. Certain restrictions apply, so it's advised to visit AmericanIdol.com for all audition rules.
And, for some ick-factor, Donald Trump is teaming up with Fox with a new reality project in development called Lady or a Tramp where party girls sent to charm school and then evaluated on their progress. So...
Casting Call: Casting for a new network reality competition series is looking for younger women who are 18-30, love to party and full of attitude. The premise of the show is to take these rude and crude party girls, and with proper etiquette training turn them into Ladies. If this describes you or someone you know, send an email with name, age, contact numbers, a detailed description of yourself or the person you are nominating and why they would be great for the show and a photo to Brenda Della Casa at creativelolita@gmail.com.
OK, back to Jack and HBO.
