Who Should be Cast on Surreal Life


Billy Idol
Dr. Will from Big Brother or one of the many cast offs.
Anna Nicole

Who else?

I believe that on the next SL, the ones who shold be in it are:

Nick Lachey: Because he is gonna make the house straight, what will make his castmates go nuts.

David Hasselhoff: He can be the funny castmate, the one who is always laughin and making jokes

Nicole Ritchie: She can be the party girl who stays up 'till late and says dull comments to amuse her castmates

Anne Hattaway: She can be the serious one, the one that is most liekly to be stressed, to begin a fight or to give up sonner; I can tell she is the one who can be in a trouble with another castmate.

Maggie Wheller: She is the squeezy one, who is always talking possitive and who can have a very high level of happiness but that it might change when she gets to know who her castmates are

Mickey Rourke: The intimidating one, who is always drinking and smoking but after all he will do well in the show

And those are for me the perfect characters to play a very outrage Surreal Life

Corey Hart is neither a has-been nor has he ever been involved in a scandal. I enjoyed him on the show very much!

reply

Have you seen Corey Hart recently? He doesn't need a scandal to be a has-been.

reply


"The point of Surreal Life is to cast complete has-beens or people involved in scandals but who have now become obscure. All of the people you listed are very successful and still working, particularly Fergie, Simon Cowell, and Tyra Banks. They are still at the top of their game and would probably never do the show. (And John Stamos will be joining the cast of ER next season). They usually cast people who are so desperate for work that they have no choice but to do the show."


Actually, I think the people who are asked to do the show are ones who have been deemed to have already contributed their signature events or actions to pop culture, regardless of whether or not they're still working.

For example, Jane Weidlen has been working ever since she left the Go-Go's, doing studio work, but she will never top being in the biggest-selling girl band in history. Da Brat, well, she won't ever do much of anything again, let alone sell platinum; but it was the fact that she was the first female rap artist to go platinum that got her in the show.

Considering that, I could see John Stamos on the show, because he most likely will always be Uncle Jesse in our minds, and that is what matters. Hammer will always be responsible for one of the worst fashion mistakes on the planet, Vern will always be Mini Me, and Vanilla Ice will always be Vanilla Ice, no matter how many drum sets he trashes. These people could get more work, and do very well in their work, but their "big load" has already been shot.



The gene pool could use a little chlorine......

reply

First of all, I'm reading lots of names that are actually really famous. In my opinion, this would dull the show down. What makes Surreal Life so great is that all these has-beens are doing whatever they can for just 1 season of glory. THAT BEING SAID, HERE'S MY LIST...

1) I think that NIA VARDALOS (FROM MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING) would kick ass, cuz she's kinda washed up and many people don't know what she's like when she's not acting.

2) AARON CARTER would be hilarious to watch. He'd be like the sleezy roommate, who had the occasional meltdown.

3) MARILYN MANSON is a GREAT idea. (Could you imagine the relationship between NIA VARDALOS AND MARILYN MANSON?!?! That would be really fun to watch)

4) RICO SUAVE would be weird with the rest of the castmates.

5) SHARON OSBOURNE would kinda be the Dr. Flo of the place.

6) KIRK CAMERON would be crazier than MARILYN MANSON. (I bet that if he knew Marilyn was in it, he wouldn't agree to do it)

7) TIFFANY AMBER THIESEN would add just a touch of spice to the season.

8) AND FINALLY, EDDIE MURPHY. He used to be on top of the world. Now, it's like he's watching from the sidelines. He'd be great to have around.

...and that's that...


reply

Those are all great, I know you've been wanting to have Nia Vardalos on for a long time now.
But I still think Eddie Murphy is way too big for the Surreal Life right now, look at his resum'e on imdb, he's got like 4 or 5 movies in the works.

reply

hmmm...indeed. scratch eddie murphy and add...ANN NICOLE SMITH. brilliant, i tell you! BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reply

Eddie probably wouldn't work, but I'd love to see his brother Charlie go on. That guy is hilarious. Now that I think about it, Dane Cook mixed with Mr. T, Charlie Murphy and Billy Idol would kick A$$. Add a couple of obnoxious female reality whores and we have a season 7.

Are you being serious? Eddie was just nominated for best supporting actor.

i wrote this months before the Dreamgirls pheonmenon/nominations. My bad.

macho man,,in surreal life?now thats worth the tv time alone.especially since hes been calling out hogan for a while.did a hip hop cd dissing hogan.pulled a milly vanilly on stage on one ocasion.he could debate on why hes a bigger movie star than hogan.savage had a minor role in spider man 1 as bonesaw.the movie made millions while hogan has dozens of movies made out but not even its biggest fans would suck up them movies.

Gary Coleman, although I doubt he'd agree to do it.

Jaleel White (Urkel on Family Matters), another one I'm not sure about. On his trivia it said anti-drugs and alcohol, however, it didn't say whether he was married on his trivia nor has kids.

Ones from earlier I saw and agree with:

Lisa Bonet, I think she'd be a great one. She was also known for being wild when on the Cosby Show, which is why they wrote her off and gave her another show (A Different World).

Alicia Silverstone

Bobby Brown

reply

Someone from music : Boy George

Someone from comedy : Carrot Top

Someone from tv : Jerry Mathers ( the Beaver )

Someone from Canada : Kevin McDonald ( Kids in the Hall, for that matter any of the guys who would like to be on it , would be great !! ), Shaun Majunder

Someone from Britain : Lee Evans ( very funny comedian ), Robin Leach ( Life's of the Rich and Famous )

Someone else from music and nastalgia : Bowser ( from sha na na )

Lots more, but Can't think right at the moment.. more to come ...

Angie Dickinson was on Surreal Life? Are you sure? Or do you mean that dinosaur 'first supermodel' Janice Dickinson? (There is an actress named Angie Dickinson but she must be in her late 60's by now).

If you meant Janice--I couldn't agree with you more.
She is such a train wreck.
I was just watching an episode with her in it earlier and she takes the cake for nutbars hands down.

By the way, I grew up in a Canadian prairie town named Brandon.
Spooky...

Sorry it took me so long to see this.

Everyone makes mistakes. Most celebrities are brain dead or on the way.
Poor, poor widdle Paris Hilton waiting for the sheriff's to cart her to jail right now.
Janice has another modeling show now and she must be on opiates--she's not nearly as mental as she usually is.

Brandon, Manitoba is right. I'm sure there are a couple of others Brandons here as there is a London and a Paris. You have an Ottawa and a Paris and a London down there somewhere, too.

I haven't read the responses after yours but I bet you got some flack.
Never mind--I like you.

Witchy

"... smarter than you look. Of course, you look like a retard."

reply

Now that you've brought up this topic, I'm so sick of Paris Hilton.

So she cries cause she can't get out of a 23 day sentence?!?!?!?!?!?!

That's *beep* pathetic. OMG, 45 more days! Oh no! I think that 20 years is much better! (Sarcasm if your dumb).

Honestly, she cries after getting caught drunk driving was it? I mean don't drink bitch. Especially when people (Paparazzi) want to take your picture.
But the worst is, she cries because she has to spend another half a month in jail! Oh too bad princess, now you can't party, get smashed and get screwed by guys... Relax bitch, you can go back to being a spoiled rich slut with nuthing better to do very soon. Unlike those other women in there. Some of them won't free for many many years.

And to top it all off, she even gets her own perks in jail! Cell phone, privacy & seperation from the other prison birds! I really think Daddy Hilton shouldn't have paid for those perks. I think he should have paid them to NOT to give her any perks. Now it's time she gets what she REALLY deserves. No money!!!* And she should have gotten ass whoopings to but DAMMIT, it'll never happen.

*Not to mention no butler, no slutty friends, no cars, no congigal visits etc. And a nice dirty ass toilet for her to go in. (But the toilet will probably be all nice & clean with some pink feathers around the seat).

reply

Did you hear what she said to Baba Wawa? 'I have to stop pretending that I'm dumb.' What a manipulator! She also said she was calm as they carted her off to the hoosegow. Calm as a raving mad lunatic!

This woman has set the wheels in motion for her inevitable destruction. She will drive under the influence again because she feels entitled. Almost from the time she staggered onto the scene she has been embroilled in one scandal after another; from sex tapes to flashing her naughty bits as she exited a car. She has given thought to no one but herself.

Her parents should be plenty mortified.

Yet, I WAS suprised at the violence of the reaction by the public to this latest fiasco.

Witchy

'Oh, oh--I can't stay in jail--I have to get a Brazilian wax, I have a hangnail, Teacup misses his mommy and has threated dogicide if I'm not released soon and they don't have my personal brand of 19 layer, gold-plated bum wipe in here. Conditions are so inhumane! I know--I just won't go number 2--that'll show them' WHAT ABOUT MY HAIR EXTENTIONS????? I CAN'T SERVE TIME WITHOUT MY HAIR EXTENTIONS!!!!!).

Her sister Nicole--on the otherhand-- has been suprisingly normal.

Ok who said the pope? Like the pope will ever agree to do that. Would Bill Clinton be a bad idea? I think it would be a good idea...

reply

The british woman who is popular over there in England. Her performance name is Jordan, I think. She has a show on E! right now called Katie&Peter. I think she should be on there. People make her seem to be a bitch but I think she is a sweet and caring mother. She just has abnormal looking boobs. lol

I also think Kevin Federline or Britney Spears should be on there. They both are *beep* ups. Either of them would be fun to watch and laugh at.

I see almost everyone on here want some American Idol star. Well, I think Clay Aiken is a perfect person for the Surreal Life house. He seems like a funny guy and a nice personl. If he is gay then he is gay. So what!

&Ian Bernardo from American Idol casting. lol He was interesting and fun. :)
I wish I was part of the working crew with puting the new cast together.

LMFAO WHOEVER WROTE "THE POPE" IS A GENIOUS! Imaging the pope being on the surreal life!? HAHHAHA

He'd have an entourage of 15 cardinals, 7 nuns, several dozen Swiss guards, a hairstylist, a personal chef, an aide de camp and a masseuse.

That would be hilarious.

But hey, Janice Dickinson brought along a make-up artist and a hairdresser and she's just a screwy aging gasbag.

"... smarter than you look. Of course, you look like a retard."

reply

Hey, they could all have fun trying his gowns and hat on!

(Boy, I'm going to HELL for that one)!

Of course, they'd have to bring his throne...

Why in the Hell Would Nick Lachey or Ashlee Simpson go on the Surreal Life!?

You must be seven years old, because that is ridiculous, they are huge stars! Ashlee's last cd sold 3.5 million cds worldwide, her previous sold 7 million cds worldwide, Lachey is still huge as well and sold cds more than his annoying ex-wife! If anyone should be on here throw Joe Simpson!

and if the choice comes between Ashlee or Jessica

THROW JESSICA IN! ATLEAST WE WILL NOT HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT HER FOR A GOOD MONTH OR SO!


I think New York should be in it!

1) John Stamos - classic, he was on a family show (so yes he was has-been) but he's trying to come back with a big show! so that would be a great season.
2) Kirk Cameron - hello? a heartthrob who went all religious king on us!!!! you know he's gonna have something to say about everything. if i was living in a house with him, keep him away from or the claws may come out if he says something to me that i don't like!
3) Zachary Ty Bryan - where has he been? and it would fun to have him in the house.
4) Cyndi Lauper - fun lady that could have a good time, yet still be like a motherly figure.
5) Jamie Foxworthy - yes the one who was Family Matters, yet got dropped from the show.
6) Sasha Mitchell - here's someone who we don't know too much about either since the show (he was on step by step).
7) Tatyana Ali - she would be a fun castmate too.

well that's it, oh and i think I should be on it too. because i would like to know how these stars are really like in real life, and see if they are different than people stereotype them to be.

The perfect castmate would be....................
