Where Are They Now?
Grooch | Tuesday, May 21, 2002 - 10:46 am     Cartoonist still drawing on 'Real World' experience By Terry Morrow, News-Sentinel television writer May 17, 2002 * REALITY SHOWS DO CHANGE LIVES: Eight years after appearing on "Real World: San Francisco," cartoonist Judd Winick still gets comments about the show. Winick and I were in a bar at a Marriott in Philadelphia last weekend when a fan approached and said out of the blue: "You should have taken a baseball bat to Puck." Winick smiled, and the fan went on his way. Winick is used to hearing such comments by now. Funny thing, though, is that Winick at this point would be surprised if they ever stopped. Puck was a housemate of Winick's on the MTV reality show. In fact, he was one of the most colorful "Real World" participants ever. He and Winick seldom got along. Hardly anyone in the house got along with Puck, a bicycle delivery boy who rarely bathed and always mouthed off. This was also the cast in which housemate Pedro Zamora died from complications brought on by the HIV virus. After the show ended, Winick went on to write a graphic novel called "Pedro & Me," a comic book-like telling of his life and how he met Zamora. Winick has also been very active in AIDS benefits. The Brooklyn-born Winick, now 32, also continued his relationship with "Real World" housemate Pam Ling. The two married a year ago and live in San Francisco. Professionally, Winick has become a very successful comic book industry talent. He writes and draws the independent strip "The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius." There is talk of turning "Ween" into a big-screen movie. For DC Comics, he is the writer of "Green Lantern" and pens the adventures of the X-Men spin-off team "Exiles" for Marvel Comics. "If you aren't reading the 'Exiles,' then you are missing the most fun comic book out there," Winick says with a smile. "I am having more fun consistently with that comic book than I am any other." "Exiles" centers on a group of time-displaced mutants who have to correct history in order to work their way home. Yes, he knows he is mercilessly ripping off the concepts of TV shows such as "Sliders" and "Quantum Leap." For the majority of the public, Winick is still that guy from "The Real World." In a previous interview, Winick said "The Real World" was "a lifetime ago and 10 minutes ago. ... "We had a much different experience than anyone else has ever had (on 'The Real World'). It was the hardest experience of my life, but I would not have traded the experience I had on it for anything." |
Grooch | Friday, May 24, 2002 - 09:05 pm     I saw someone post on another board that Julie (BB1), Syrius (Boston) and Julie (I think) (New Orleans) are in the new Emminem video. Has anyone seen it? |

Seamonkey | Saturday, May 25, 2002 - 09:37 pm     And somewhere on this board that Elka and Walter broke up and she moved back to Texas. It won't be me who sees the emminemenema video |
Serate | Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 02:43 pm     I liked Julie and Julie [don't think I watched Boston], but I won't watch or listen to Enema. |
Angelnikki | Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 05:53 pm     it was puck, syrus, and julie from rw new orleans on the new eminem video "without me" and btw i happen to love eminem i think hes funny and enjoy his music. |
Angelnikki | Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 05:54 pm     btw, julie looks a little different cause her hair is very dark rather than blonde and pucks hair is long and he looks nasty as ever. |
Seamonkey | Sunday, May 26, 2002 - 10:11 pm     Sorry, Angel.. still doesn't lure me into watching.. I can't think of much to laugh about. |
Serate | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 03:33 am     *agrees with Seamonkey* |
Seamonkey | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 10:53 am     I wouldn't go out of my way to watch anything including Puck anyway, so this is just double yuck.. sorry the Julies have stooped to this low level in their search for "fame". |
Angelnikki | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 06:14 pm     i dont watch cause i like puck(i dont) i watch because i like eminem. it took me awhile to figure out who was in the video to begin with. in the video eminem takes one of his cd's out of a kids hands and shakes his finger and points to the parental advisory sticker on the cd. he knows his music isnt for kids. but i like the beat of his music and feel he has a right to speak his mind. |
Seamonkey | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 07:37 pm     He has a "right".. and I have a right to despise him and NOT listen to him beyond what it took to know what he was about. Shaking his finger, oh yeah.. like he gives a flying f.... about kids.. that is just to get them to buy the cds.. And yes of course, your right to listen to him, subsidise him or whatever.. but I'll take different lyrics with my beat, thanks.. |
Seamonkey | Monday, May 27, 2002 - 07:39 pm     Oh of course there is always Stephen from RW Seattle, who after being voted off of the recent RW/RR challenge show, was arrested on several charges in Los Angeles.. so where he is now is incarcerated or on parole, I'm guessing. |
Spramp | Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 05:28 pm     People Magazine reports that Scott Wolf (of Party of Five) is dating Kelley from Real World New Orleans....(guess Dr. Peter is out of the picture). |
Danimom | Thursday, August 15, 2002 - 05:03 pm     I was Melissa, from New Orleans show, today in Los Angeles. She was in Rite Aid. Man does she look different! Hair is shoulder length, curly, and full. She was dressed, shall we say, in not a tremendous amount of material. Basically, her clothes were see through. She was with a guy, seemed to be a love interest, not that they were doing anything, just in the way they were with each other, body language and all that. Does anyone know if Melissa is from Los Angeles? |
