Reality trainwrecks to come

Just when you thought MTV's Real World couldn't plunge any deeper into a banal orgy of underage drinking and, well, orgies, this news comes out -- next season, The Real World is hitting Mexico. Cancun, to be exact. The show (can you believe it was interesting once upon a time?) has been on for 22 seasons now, which would make it almost too old to appear on itself. Expect even more than the usual share of obnoxious, drunken antics and random, skanky hookups. Because what happens in Real World: Cancun, certainly won't stay in Real World: Cancun. Especially if it's gonorrhea.

Meanwhile, over at MTV's trashy sister station (yikes), VH1 announced Monday a new show to debut next summer following the offseason life of Terrell Owens, the poster boy of everything that's wrong with the NFL. No title yet (hmmm, Tool Academy is already taken), but the series will feature Owens' publicists and apparently only friends— Monique Jackson and Kita Williams — who will work as “matchmakers and therapists” to help him straighten out his personal life. You may be heartened to know that Owens has fired his last publicist, Kim Etheridge, who told police Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pills, which lead to an early-season soap opera in 2006. With T.O.'s reputation for self-destruction and a bi-polar mix of self-adoration/self-loathing, a visit to Dr. Drew might be a better fit.
