First Trailer for The Real World DC
MTV has posted the first trailer for The Real World DC on its web site. It includes a number of establishing shots of our fair city (including, inexplicably, an intro featuring President Barack Obama exiting Marine One to the tune of the Civil War-era song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," aka "The Ants Go Marching," ... maybe the producers confused it with "Hail to the Chief"?), and there are a couple of fun scenes showing...

The Real World Leaves Town
Photo by Andrew Wiseman Tips started rolling in Tuesday afternoon: cast members of The Real World D.C. were spotted variously loading luggage into large SUVs and driving off, or being filmed slowly walking away in dramatic fashion from their Dupont neighborhood house. NBCWashington.com has since filed this interview with the show's executive producer, who confirmed that after four months, the Real Worlders have at last left the District. In the run-up to the cast's...

Real Worlders Fight for Rights Real Americans Get
Two Real World D.C. cast members at a DC Vote event in July. When The Real World D.C. cast came to town a few months ago, we heard that they'd be doing what so many folks in the city do -- working for a number of non-profit and advocacy organizations. Noble as that is, we wouldn't have necessarily guessed it likely that they'd be working on any local causes. But it turns out, they...

Cast Members Arrive at D.C. Real World House
As we noted in Go Home Already, the cast members of the Real World house officially made their way to their new Dupont Circle home today. And I was not the only "reporter" waiting for them on the corner of 20th and S Streets NW. There was videoblogger elizabethany and her friend, along with self-proclaimed soon-to-be blogger Martin, who was keeping us informed of all the latest RWDC news (presumably via tweets from #RealWorldDCNEWZ), and...

Real World Cast Reportedly Arriving
A tipster just texted that the D.C. Real World cast appears to be arriving as we speak -- she reports seeing a blonde girl with a suitcase walking through Dupont Circle, looking clueless and being trailed by a camera crew. Of course, there have been apparent dry-runs previously, but this one could be the real deal, and the RealWorldDCNewz Twitter feed reports similar sightings. Yikes?...

MTV Finally Confirms What We All Already Knew
Photo by Andrew Wiseman.We've already had numerous looks at the Real World D.C. house, but MTV just today got around to actually confirming that an upcoming season of the long running reality show will in fact be based in Washington in the house in Dupont Circle. “The charged atmosphere of Washington D.C., the center of our country’s social and political change, will provide an electric setting for this next season of ‘The Real World,’...

Interior D.C. Real World House Photos Reposted
Looks like someone took it upon themselves to re-post all those interior shots of the D.C. Real World house on Picasa. We're not sure who did it and the labels indicating what each room will be used for are gone, but go ahead and check 'em out in case you missed the chance after they were pulled down yesterday. In other Real World updates: we've heard crews were moving some furniture into the house...

Photos of the Inside of The Real World D.C. House
Photo by James Calder Quick, click over to this photo gallery full of interior shots of the D.C. Real World house at 2000 S Street NW/1734 20th Street NW (the corner building does appear to be two addresses fused together) before it gets taken down. An alert tipster found it by merely Google image searching for "2000 S. Street" and sent it in to DCist. In the photo gallery, you can see rooms inside...

Could The Real World Finally Make it to D.C.?
Here we go again: The Real World may finally (or dreadfully) be coming to Washington. We know, we know. Rumors circulated three-and-a-half years ago that MTV was scoping out property in Adams Morgan. We warned you then it probably wouldn't happen, it didn't, and the bars of Adams Morgan were better for it. But Bunim-Murray Productions, which currently produces The Real World for MTV, is reportedly looking for activists and politically minded people to cast...

Morning Roundup: Fenty Wins Edition
What a night, eh Washington? If you're like us, you were up late listening to Kojo and Jonetta break down the election results as they came in on WAMU. Our favorite moment of the evening came just before 10 p.m., when Mayor Williams told co-host Jonetta Rose Barras she was crazy to suggest that anyone believed he had waited too long to decide if he would seek a third term. For the record Jonetta —...

"Keys" Me Goodbye
Once again, DCist Three Stars alum Hello Tokyo has invaded network television. Back in February, their single “Radio” was chosen by Animal Planet as the theme song to a mini series on horseback riding called “Horse Power,” with several of their other songs used throughout the rest of the show. Now MTV has noticed this local talent, featuring their song “Kiss Me Goodbye” on the premiere episode of The Real World: Key West. Fellow District...

Sometimes We Just Heart Fluff
DCist has been sent some unsubstantiated celebrity sightings from this weekend. We put our fact checkers hot on the confirmation trail, but really, celebrity sightings are more intriguing gossip than serious journalistic news, so we've decided to go straight to you, our eyes and ears on the ground. So dish already. Here are the details as we know them right now: On Saturday, the D.C. Office of Motion Picture and Television Development hosted an open...

Ask DCist: Filming in the District
A few weeks ago, I was walking by the Bank of America building across from the Treasury Department and noticed a film crew set up. Searching the Internet didn't reveal any info about who was there, though I did find a link at the DC film site telling me about three more TV series that are going to be doing occasional filming in the District. But what I want to know is where I can...
