Real World Washington, D.C. Ashley Lindley myspace and twitter photos

MTV’s 23rd season of their Real World franchise launched tonight, this time in the nation’s capitol of Washington, D.C. As usual, the first episode featured a cacophony of memorable moments and characters as eight strangers from all over the country came together for the first time in the house they will be sharing for the next six months. There were religious debates, an outing of a homosexual, panda hats and an overabundance of flirting as Andrew, Ashely, Callie, Emily, Erika, Josh, Mike and Ty decided where they were going to sleep and who they were going to drive crazy.

Though there were some interesting characters present, the politically-charged hotness of Ashley Lindley from Houston, Texas seems to have garnered the most internet buzz immediately following the season premiere. The Portuguese hottie not only looked good as she talked about wanting to sleep naked, she also showed she was drama-ready and fully prepared to get in the thick of things, creating and sustaining the kind of drama this sort of show thrives on. She’s got attitude, religion and political fervor – that’s a recipe for some serious reality entertainment!

Top 5 Star Wars Jersey Shore trading cards

Ever wonder what the world would be like if George Lucas made reality television shows? Or if MTV made classic science fiction movies?

Me either. I have no idea why I did these. But, I DID! Here are some collectible trading cards from the alternate universe mashing up a galaxy far, far away with the boardwalk just across the river. It’s the world of Ewops, Tattoo-ine and partying at the Mos Jersey Cantina. A wonderful place where the stress of saving the universe over and over is replaced by the relative ease of hooking up with random hot Guidos and Guidettes over and over.

Though there are numerous beautiful characters and things from the offspring of Star Wars and Jersey Shore, I’ve managed to whittle it down to the Top 5, and here they are!

Did Hailey Glassman slice up Jon Gosselin’s apartment as part of a revenge plot?

Someone broke into Jon Gosselin’s New York City apartment, taking a bunch of crap and slicing up “shoes, shirts, luggage, bed, curtain, rugs and other furnishings” with a knife before spearing a note to Jon on his dresser referring to him as a “cheater” and signed with Hailey Glassman’s name.

VIDEO Teen Mom’s Amber chokes and slaps fiance Gary

MTV appears to have a male/female graphic violence double standard, censoring the now-infamous “Snooki Punch” from the airing of the episode of Jersey Shore, yet they had no problem with Amber violently pushing her fiance Gary into a corner by his throat and then slapping him while screaming the entire time. Could you imagine the outrage if the roles had been reversed – if Gary had choked Amber and violently pushed her into the corner and hit her?!?

PHOTOS Jersey Shore’s Mike Sorrentino ‘The Situation’ Myspace and high school yearbook pictures

Clearly the American television viewing audience was completely unprepared for the rawness of MTV’s Jersey Shore. Guido fever has swept through the media and the nation and though everything from rationality and moral decency have been tried as a vaccine, nothing seems to be working.

Spearheading the Giuseppidemic is self-proclaimed Guidette Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, whose wild antics and audacious personality led to the infamous “Snooki punch” cleverly used by MTV in commercials for the show, and then censored from the actual episode before airing.

Running a close second to Snooki is the Guidoest of the Guidos, the abtastic Italian Stallion known simply as “The Situation.” I’ve dug up some older photos of Mike, including a photo from his high school yearbook! (Yes, he always had those abs.)
