OMG! This is like so awesome! 

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? 

Since Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry started opening up their lives to the world with the VH1 reality show "My Fair Brady," they admit they constantly question their decision. "When the cameras were around, we were like, ‘We made the worst decision. What were we thinking?’" says Knight, who acknowledges that being on TV together has had a tremendous influence on their relationship. Sometimes it’s felt destructive, he admits, "but we’ve been able to persevere and be on stronger footing as a result of it. Looking back, it’s helped accelerate our bonding and our relationship." As for Curry, "I come from a very large Italian family, and I’ve never in my life been given the opportunity to have privacy, so for me, it’s not a problem. What’s the difference between 500 people in my family knowing and telling all their friends and everybody else and the world knowing?"
 
With the couple currently in discussions about another season, they say fans can’t get enough of their lives, and constantly want to know if the show is for real. "I would say that 99.9 percent of our show is real, but if we’re being extremely boring, then the producers will say something," responds Curry. "We’ll be filming at home or at a restaurant and they’ll come up and say, ‘Talking about the fungus on your feet is great, but why don’t you talk about this issue that you’re having?’"
