'Philadelphia'

This is the drastically edited story of seven attention-deprived 20-somethings, picked to live in a freaking palace and have their lives taped, to find out what happens when people stop having dignity and start getting real ... drunk.

After running out of cool cities to occupy, MTV's The Real World is back for its 15th season in good ol' Philadelphia.

And what would The Real World be without a cast of extreme stereotypes?

Boring -- that's what!

So, this season we have: Melanie, the easygoing California chick; Willie, the fabulous gay guy; Shavonda, the hottie with a boyfriend; MJ, the Southern, possible homophobe; Sarah, the sexpot with implants, and Landon, the meathead.

But wait! There's a twist! The coming out of sensitive Karamo makes it two gay men in the house!

Perhaps to compensate for the all-straight cast from San Diego? Perhaps a cheap way to get ratings? Who cares, it's scandalous. I'll watch it!

Oh, and want to hear something funny that sort of involves PSU? According to the Smoking Gun Web site, an "extremely belligerent" Landon was arrested at the University of Wisconsin-Penn State football game in 2002.

For harassing, of all things, a police horse.

Considering the massive amounts of alcohol readily available in Philly, something tells me it's gonna be a great season.
