Seriously? OMG! WTF?

A cast member on the MTV reality show "The Real World" was arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge Monday after police said she bit her boyfriend during a domestic dispute.Paula Ann Meronek, 25, bit her boyfriend several times when he refused to let her into their home at about 3 a.m. Sunday, police said.
"I think it was an argument that led to one thing then another," Cromwell Police Chief Anthony Salvatore said. "He attempted to keep her from the house. It got physical and we were contacted."Meronek graduated from Quinnipiac University in 2003 with the highest grade-point average in its business school, the university said. But MTV is marketing her as an unstable, relentless partier.The popular show, now in its 17th season, puts seven strangers together in an exotic locale — this time a Key West, Fla., beach house. A call to the show’s producer was not immediately returned.Meronek was charged with third-degree assault, which carries a potential penalty of a year in prison. She is due back in court Aug. 11. No lawyer was listed in court documents.Her boyfriend, John Alyward, was charged with disorderly conduct. The arrest was first reported by The Middletown Press.

What is with all the biting these days? 

She’s got a huge teen following, so it makes perfect sense that JESSICA SIMPSON has been chosen to co-host the 2006 Teen Choice Awards.
FOX announced on Tuesday that the 26-year-old singer will serve as master of ceremonies for the August 20 event, with a hosting partner to be revealed at a later date.
Among the categories that set this awards show apart from others include Choice Hissy Fit, Choice Rock Track and Choice Hottie, which Jessica herself is nominated for.
Jessica’s next album, A Public Affair, debuts August 29 and her upcoming movie, ‘Employee of the Month,’ will be in theaters September 15.

New York’s legendary club CBGBs is set to close on September 30.
The venue is due to relocate to Las Vegas in 2008.
CBGBs, which has been open for 30 years, is best known for housing many of the key bands who made up New York’s punk and new wave scene of the late 70s. Bands like The Ramones, Talking Heads and Blondie played some of their first gigs there.
However, according to the club’s founder Hilly Kristal, the venue has to close because of the soaring rent costs in New York.
Of the relocation to Las Vegas, Kristal said: "I am taking the bars with me, I am taking the stage – I’m taking the urinal that Joey(Ramone) pissed in with me. I going to take a lot of things – anything that makes this place CBGBs."
The club is set to announce its final live schedule shortly, and it’s expected to feature some of the performers who made the venue famous.

That just seems so wrong. I wonder if 3 out of the 4 Ramones are turning over in their graves over this news?

Outkast have announced they are planning to tour, but with only one member.
Big Boi, one half of the Atlanta duo, has said that Andre 3000 will not play live.
He revealed: "I will be going out down the road. My brother (Andre), he’s not doing this side of the fence, just chilling. But who knows what the future holds. We’re gonna see what happens, ‘cause we got the ball and it’s first down."
The last release by the band, 2003’s ‘Speakerboxx’/’The Love Below’, was composed of two solo albums by Big Boi and Andre 3000 respectively.
However, the band – as a duo – are set still to release ‘Idlewild’, the film and album, in August.
Discussing the subject of the film, Andre 3000 said: "It’s about this entertainer who at the top of his career just totally, completely stops doing it. He moves back to his hometown and teaches these five or six musically talented kids. Every show, we have a new song produced and performed by me and the kids, so stay tuned."
"The movie takes place in the 1930s, but it’s hip," he told MTV. "It’s a new musical…whatever you have liked about OutKast in the past, when you go to the movie theatre…you’ll be pleased. Believe me."
