Websurferusa | Sunday, October 06, 2002 - 08:08 pm     According to http://www.marcellasreynolds.com/marcnews.html Marcellas is heading back to LA on Sunday and plans to have dinner with Lisa and Eric before Eric is heads back to Connecticut... Marcellas, Roddy and Eric were all approached by Playgirl ... but they all refused the offer. He also tells me that Chiara, Tonya and Lisa were approached by Playboy -- and Lisa turned down the offer, but Chiara and Tonya accepted. (22) |
Sonia | Monday, October 07, 2002 - 07:00 am     Websurferusa, I didn't have access to your link, but I thank you for give us those info about those pic offers some hgs received. I would be curious to know how much $ PB or PG offered to them. Shannon from BB2 also received offer from Playboy but she refused, considering the $ wasn't enought.

Ptomaine | Monday, October 07, 2002 - 02:52 pm     Jokers is doing a pretty good job keeping track of the HGs. Here's learning to fish: http://www.jokersupdates.com/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=hotspot Latest is on Chiara. |
Surini | Monday, October 07, 2002 - 03:39 pm     According to www.justchiara.com she did not accept the offer from playboy and neither did Tonya. Don't know if that's true or not, just says it on one of her sites. |
Woodpecke® | Monday, October 07, 2002 - 06:34 pm     We can see Tonya's ya ya's and coochie coo anytime we desire. I lack any interest in her clothed or naked. |
Iceprincess | Monday, October 07, 2002 - 06:44 pm     ROFLMAO I didn't pay to see them naked in the first place I sure as heck am not going to pay for playboy!!! LOL their pics are all over the net anyways. |
Denecee | Tuesday, October 08, 2002 - 09:39 am     Tonya is not the only naked HG on the internet. I saw Roddy (full frontal) and Amy & Chiara's breast. I only looked once as it's not really my thing, but it was the "I can't believe it, but I have to look" thing going on. I'm not a perv, but my husband probably wouldn't mind if I was.lol |
Ericzj | Tuesday, October 08, 2002 - 09:45 am     Chiara in a burkha would be fine with me. Less I see of her the better. |
Almatad | Tuesday, October 08, 2002 - 10:50 am     www.signonsandiego.com/news/uniontrib/fri/currents/news_1c4vine.html Aspiring stars have their reality rechecked at Belly October 4, 2002 WEST HOLLYWOOD – Mike "Boogie" Malin of "Big Brother 2" gives an understanding hug to girlfriend Chiara Berti of "Big Brother 3," at Belly, the cocktail lounge he co-owns and where Gabriel Cade of "Survivor 4" is a bartender. Seems like you already know the patrons knocking back drinks. Castaways and cast-offs from "Survivor," "Big Brother," "Temptation Island," "Real World" and "Road Rules" regularly come here, sometimes to fixate on a big-screen TV flickering their reality shows or "Fear Factor" and "Dog Eat Dog." "Belly is like the reality halfway house," says Mike, who was evicted from the "Big Brother" abode in August 2001 after 33 days. "People have high expectations after they get off a show that they're going to have a Hollywood career. But the opportunities aren't there. They come to discuss how to parlay their 15 minutes of fame or they come to drown their sorrows because they're only going to get their 15 minutes of fame." He's the resident reality shrink. "Right now, I'm trying to help Chiara through it. I know what it's like to go from a nobody to a quasi-celebrity." On this night at Belly, there's a "BB3" finale party, and most of those back-stabbing booted houseguests are breathlessly babbling about agents and deals and taking Tinseltown by storm. No matter what the CBS show wants you to think, these exhibitionists have had head shots and acting resumes in their drawers for years. (For example: Josh Feinberg, "the waiter from Long Island," is really an aspiring L.A. actor who did extra work on "Ali" while waiting tables at the Dodger Stadium restaurant. Before "BB2" made him famous, Mike had a credit on the TV series "Jack & Jill.") "I have a deal on the table for a lifestyle, travel and fashion show," enthuses Marcellas Reynolds, just hours after "BB3" wrapped. Although some ex-reality stars have landed cable TV or local DJ jobs, the reality is few reality players make it big. Colleen Haskell of the original "Survivor" somehow snagged a co-starring role in the Rob Schneider comedy, "The Animal." And Will Kirby, the boyishly cute Miami doctor who won the half-mil on "BB2" a year ago, is the host of NBC's upcoming reality show "Love Shack." But Will had less luck selling a fraternity reality show he conceived or a medical thriller screenplay co-written with Mike. The bonded "BB2" buds, though, will soon open an Italian restaurant-bar in the chic Melrose area. And Will also has plans for an L.A. medical clinic, which will focus on his favorite cause: making men look and feel good. "We'll be doing a lot of Botox, a lot of Viagra, a lot of Propecia," he says. Suddenly, a bubbly blonde at Belly – which is designed to look like "the inside of a genie's bottle" – leans over and kisses Will's cheek. "That's Jennifer from 'Love Shack,' " he explains. He identifies with this contestant on his dating game. "Reality TV is a pathetic attempt to get your life validated by strangers. You wouldn't go on a show unless you have mental problems." Who would've thunk it? "I love attention," he gleefully says. This accounts for the Post-Traumatic Reality Show Stress Syndrome. Millions of flies on the wall have been watching you for weeks; for "Big Brother," there's also a 24-hour Web feed. There are Internet fan club shrines in your honor, and mountains of lovesick mail: Will even got half-naked photos from a 76-year-old woman. Strangers hug you at airports and stop you on the street for autographs because it's not as if you're a bona fide celebrity and off-limits. Chiara was mobbed outside a Hollywood supermarket, while Charlize Theron strolled by unaccosted. The TV experience and aftermath is so weird, Chiara says, she can only relate to former prisoners of the "BB" house, which is what attracted her to Mike. "I have my good days and my bad days," she admits. With no Hollywood bites, she may return to her real job in marketing. Sean Rector of "Survivor 4" – an aspiring actor who appeared on "Roswell" before joining the tribe – can commiserate. He's back to teaching middle school in South Central Los Angeles. "Most reality stars are broke celebrities," he says. So reality bites. But don't tell that to the latest flood of fame-seekers, like Roddy Mancuso, a "writer from Morristown, N.J." according to "BB3." Roddy was actually a struggling screenwriter living in L.A. for the last two years. Before going on the show, he sold a script for an indie psychological thriller and now he plans to star in it. Roddy is outside Belly, rattling on about this and an offer to pose in a hunky-guy calendar, when Monica Bailey, who was banished from the "BB2" house a year ago, sashays by. From the sidewalk, a male fan shouts, "Monica, you look gorgeous!" The one-time candy store manager flashes an Oscar-worthy smile. So far, Monica has done health-and-fitness spots for a New York TV station and voice-overs for a PBS special. But the scheming houseguest who ate only peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for days on end wants most to do a one-woman play about her life. "They say 15 minutes. I say 15 years," she confidently says. Then, she saunters up to the bar at Belly – for a reality check. |
Costacat | Wednesday, October 09, 2002 - 07:21 am     FWIW, I already posted a link to the above article -- and there is a current thread discussing it. See the thread titled Aspiring stars have their reality rechecked at Belly. I posted the information on Friday, the day the article appeared in my local paper. |

Laluna | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 04:17 pm     From a Tabloid... Big Bro 3 contestant loses girl to brotherly lover Thursday October 10, 2002 Oh, brother! We know being stuck together in a house for up to 11 weeks on Big Brother brings people close together. But what you probably didn't know until now is that the busy "Bs" have been cross-pollinating between Big Brother shows! Roddy Mancuso found out the hard way. The beefcake was one of the stars of the recently finished Big Brother 3. Not only did the guy lose the $500,000 grand prize, getting booted out three weeks before the finale, but now comes word that he lost his sweetie as well. To make matters worse, he lost her to a kindred spirit of sorts, because she took up with Big Brother 2's conniving houseguest Mike "Boogie" Malin. One more detail: The romance with Boogie bloomed while Mancuso fought to stay on the hit CBS reality series. Triple-ouch, baby! Some viewers may remember how Mancuso fell hard for Big Brother 3 cohabitant Chiara Berti, 25. By the second week of the show, they were making out. Hot-to-trot Mancuso was talking endlessly about his crush on Berti, and the cameras that keep a never-blinking electronic eye on the house caught him trying to coax her into taking showers with him. In time, however, scheming houseguests managed to get looker Berti out Aug. 22. Enter Boogie, 32, a veteran of Big Brother 2 and the co-owner of L.A.'s trendy nightclub, Belly Lounge. Just so happens that the Left Coast-based staff of Big Brother hang out at the watering hole when they get off work. As soon as she was kicked out, that's where Berti went, sources tell Confidential's Jennifer Pearson. And it was love at first sight! "The day after they met, Boogie was wining and dining Chiara all over the place," the source says. "You could tell she really dug him. "While her supposed squeeze was fighting for his life on the show, Chiara and Boogie were nightclubbing, shopping and spending thousands of dollars in Vegas." Boogie's no stranger to Big Brother lovin'. He made fans gasp when he proposed to fellow BB2 contestant Krista Stegall on TV. The couple have since split up. Mancuso, meanwhile, was evicted from the show Sept. 5, and immediately tried to track down Chiara. Of course, Mancuso, a New Jersey-born writer who now lives in L.A., showed up at Belly. Harsh words were exchanged between him and Boogie, and Mancuso was eventually kicked out of the bar. Berti returned to New York, where she works as a marketing rep. At first she was, I'm told, a little confused. Both Mancuso and Boogie were calling her daily for long-distance flirtations. It would have been nice if the Big Brother audience got to pick for her, but she did it on her own. "After careful consideration, Chiara finally decided Boogie was her guy," another Big Brother snitch says. "She flew back to L.A. Sept. 25 for the Big Brother 3 finale and wrap party, and she made it clear to everyone at the party that she was with Boogie. Roddy was sulking in a corner and scowled whenever he saw Boogie, but finally accepted her choice." Brotherly love? No way, Jose! http://entertainment.yahoo.com/entnews/st/20021010/103426200009.html |
Shortnsweet | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 04:46 pm     What a bunch of horse pucky! They took a few "facts" and turned it into a story. |
Zachsmom | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 04:50 pm     LOL..this guy is watched a different show than I did!!! LOL.. |
Woodpecke® | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 04:56 pm     Bad fiction. |
Woofy | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 05:16 pm     Has anybody noticed how boogey STILL inserts himself whenever possible in Big Brother? He really wants to be the star. |
Draheid | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 05:36 pm     Perhaps Boogie and Shapiro will colaberate on the next one. Then they'll use B/S Productions for the moniker?  |
Nmbeach | Thursday, October 10, 2002 - 06:24 pm     I agree Zachsmom, this guy definitely watched a different BB3 from me. Wonder if he got as many facts wrong about what happened after the show? |
