Depending on your feelings about "The Real World: Brooklyn," the blogger behind Driven by Boredom is either the luckiest or sorriest guy on New York's nightlife scene this month.
After seeing cast member Chet Cannoncanoodling with Whitney Thompson, he bumped into the reality show stars-in-the-making at another rock show, this time at Public Assembly in Williamsburg:
Once again"The Real World" has snuck into my life to see another friend's band. First it was Semi Precious Weapons and now its Shiragirl. This time I did some apologizing to the cast for the drama I may have caused them particularly Chet Cannon and Scott.
Chet wanted me to make it very clear that he is not engaged, and both of them know this sort of thing comes with the package of being on TV. When it is all over Chet is going to get a job in finance and Scott hopes to make it as an actor.
At least they were having fun in Brooklyn this time!
The cast members of "Real World: Brooklyn" have been spotted again in Manhattan, and a tipster sent us this report:
I was partying at Hawaiian Tropic on Saturday nite and guess who was there... None other then "Real World: Brooklyn!" They seem really cool. Someone I know was talking to them and T-Pain was also there.
MTV reality shows: From Hell Square to Times Square!
So maybe the reason the cast members of "Real World: Brooklyn" keep hanging out in Manhattan is because no one in their neighborhood of Red Hook actually likes them!
Says one local:
The whole operation has been pretty low-key, and they haven't bothered us much. That's because everybody in Red Hook is saying "no way," and shutting the door on them.
Filming is slated to continue for another couple months before the show--which we probably won't even need to watch by then--debuts in January 2009.
It was a veritable reality show love-fest at the Semi Precious Weapons Fashion Week Party at Rebel in Manhattan Monday night: "Real World: Brooklyn"'s resident Mormon skaterboi Chet Cannon got cozy with ANTM's Whitney Thompson.
More of the cast was also in the house, dancing it up in the front row before partying with the glam rockers.
After an outing to Manhattan for lunch at a scene-y spot, the "Real World: Brooklyn" cast is making an effort to explore its eponymous borough. The latest reported sighting had the kiddies enjoying the always-happening Prospect Park:
If you saw a bunch hipsters in Prospect Park being followed by cameras, it wasn't your imagination, it was "Real World: Brooklyn."
Sidewalk cafes are big this time of year in New York, but wouldn't the less-trafficked streets of Red Hook be a more pleasant place for an al fresco lunch than a bustling corner in Chelsea? Not if you're filming The Real World and want a cool shot!
The cast was seen lunching Tuesday at still-sizzling Cafeteria, which New York magazine once praised for its people-watching:
You're sure to run into someone you know, or at least recognize from US Weekly.
The real question is why the cast wasn't at Delicatessen, the brand new SoHo spot from the same owners.
