Actor-turned-teacher Tony Danza has been forced to relocate his educational reality TV show from New York to Philadelphia, after school board officials in The Empire State vetoed future episodes of the upcoming series.

The 58-year-old actor earned a degree in history education from Iowa’s University of Dubuque before launching a career in acting in the 1970s. Danza recently inked a deal with A&E to spend a year teaching 10th grade English.

The 23rd installment of The Real World has descended on DC — and Washingtonians are having a cow. Read the rest of this entry »
Uh-oh…Not everyone is leaping for joy over MTV’s plans to bring its drama-packed reality series The Real World to little ole Washington.
One resident of the city’s upbeat and gay-friendly DuPont Circle neighborhood — where the Real Worlders will be shacking up this summer — has created an online community (theantirealworld.blogspot.com) as a gathering place for those who loathe all things reality TV-related — at least where their neighborhoods are concerned.
“MTV’s newest season of “The Real World” is being filmed 20 feet from my house. This blog will chronicle the pain and annoyance they put me through as well as the heckling my friends and I plan for the newest crop of “real worlders,” writes the disgruntled neighbor updating The Anti Real World Blog.

MTV is hiring staff in the Nation’s Capital — prompting speculation that the next season of the network’s long-running reality series The Real World is on its way to Washington.

MTV has ordered four more seasons of its aging reality hit The Real World.
The order will extend the 17-year-old docudrama–centering around a group of strangers living under one roof-to 26 cycles.
The current season of The Real World: Brooklyn will air its finale on Wednesday. Producers are presently shooting the series’ next cycle, The Real World: Cancun, which is set to premiere later this year.

MTV has oked a twenty-first season of it’s reality drama, Real World. This time the action goes down in Brooklyn, New York. Real World 21: Brooklyn, New York will premiere in early 2009.
It looks like even those closest to Donald Trump are not safe from his catchphrase, as he has fired his long time Apprentice co-star Carolyn Kepcher, saying that the fame was going to her head.
“She became a prima donna,” said one insider. “Being on ‘The Apprentice’ went to her head. She was no longer focused on business. She was giving speeches for $25,000 and doing endorsements. George has been around a long time. He’s seen everything. He didn’t get excited even when women on the street started screaming when they saw him on his way to work. But Carolyn took it very seriously. She thought she was a freaking movie star. Trump told her what she had to do was take some time off and spend it with her family, and then get another job.”

Travis Barker of Blink-182 filed for divorce from his beauty queen wife yesterday. The unlikely couple has been documenting their relationship on the MTV reality show “Meet The Barkers” since they were wed. Two months shy of their second anniversary, they are breaking things off.
Travis and Shanna managed to spawn twice in less than 2 years. Travis is seeking joint custody of Landon (age 2) and Alabama (age 8 months). Shanna also has a 7 year old daughter, Atiana, fathered by boxer Oscar de La Hoya.
Suspicions swirl around the reason for the sudden split. Could Travis finally be fed up with the inane names Shanna gives children?
