Remember that episode of Real World: Hollywood when Will told Bri that she needed to ditch the tongue ring in order to jump-start her singing career? Well, it turns out, he was wrong. Ever since she collaborated with Alex from The Calling, Brianna's music has been on the up and up. We saw her light up the stage at Canal Room last month, and now the reality star-turned-chart topper has gone and scored herself a top twenty iTunes hit. (Tongue ring and all).
Anyways, check out the video to "Summertime" here -- and if the track sounds familiar, that's probably cause you already saw her laying it down on this season's Real World.
I already showed you some of my behind-the-scenes reunion pics but there's a whole lot more where that came from. And since I have the short-term memory of a goldfish, I figured it would help to keep a handy-dandy diary of my stint hanging out with the Real World: Hollywood cast. Here's a day in the life of a reunion-crasher.
9:00. Wake up, brush my teeth, remind self that in less than 2 hours I'll be hanging with the RW Hollywood-ers. Mentally prepare by re-watching "Let's Not Ghetto" scene and pretending to make myself cry.

As I told you last week, I had the distinct privilege of hanging out with the Real World: Hollywood cast before/after the taping of Saturday's live reunion. Here's some of what I learned from chatting up the roomies in the Green Room before the show.
• Will can sleep anywhere. At any time.
• Sarah could seriously put an eye out with that engagement ring (or should I say "engagement bling?")

Cancel your plans, lock your doors and turn your cell phone ringers to "silent" mode! Because tomorrow afternoon, the only place you're gonna wanna be is at home, watching the Real World: Hollywood cast gather round for the very first time since the cameras stopped rolling. And even better? The whole show is coming at you LIVE. Which means, you'll get to see Bri's "Aw, hell no!" face (and Will's crocodile tears) in real-time!

How do you end a season that had everything from group sex to fake tears to life-and-death struggles with alcohol? Apparently, with goodbye hugs, the return of an old friend and, of course, a good old-fashioned street-fight.
And this finale was a whole lot more than tearful farewells and gratuitous close-ups of the housemates' empty rooms. Kim was forced to reevaluate her lifelong dream of becoming an entertainment reporter, Bri was forced to start the painful process of letting go and Dave was forced to borrow the girls' cosmetics bag to cover up his big ol' shiner.
But what did you guys think of the finale? Were you sad to see the Real Worlders go? Which of the roomies learned the most/least about themselves over the course of the season?
In case you hadn't noticed, we happen to be extremely partial to lists around here. And since we've already hit you with What We'll Miss Most About RW: Hollywood, Real World Superlatives, the Most Quotastic Moments From Cancun, the Best/Worst of Joey's RW Run, our All-Time Fave Bri Moments, and, of course, the RW ABC's we figured it was time to put our love into numerical perspective and say goodbye. (Let the countdown to tonight's season finale begin!)
10: The number of times I watched (and re-watched) the scene where Will makes himself cry by staring intently at his own reflection while daydreaming about wasabi.
9: The total number of Real World: Hollywood cast members this season (that's the original seven strangers who were picked to live in a house together, plus latecomers Nick and Brittini)
8. The number (on a scale from 1-10) that best describes the awesomeness of JoJo's bedazzling gun-shaped belt buckle.
7. The total number of guests allowed in the Hollywood house at any given time. (See: the "Let's Not Get Ghetto" incident).
6. The number of roomies who promised to wholeheartedly support Joey and his newfound sobriety.
5. The number of roomies who couldn't even go 24 hours without ditching Joey for a wild (drunken) night on the town.

With only one day until the Real World finale, I'm preemptively mourning the loss of my fave Hollywood gang. And since I haven't enjoyed a RW season this much since Stephen bitch-slapped Irene back in Seattle, I figured I'd let you know what makes each of these castmates so damn special.
Bri: No one knows how to put on a show quite like Bri. Between the singing, the stripping and the time she traumatized Sarah by getting freaky in the next bed, Brianna's always been a consummate performer. Bri, I'll miss your showmanship.
Joey: Sure, Joey had a bit of a rocky ride this season, but he also had his share of heartwarming moments. Like the time his boys surprised him with a sentimental goodbye gift: a trip to the nudie bar! Oh, Joey. I'll miss you and your big heart the most of all.

On last night's episode of Real World: Hollywood, the roomies somehow made it all the way to Cancun and back -- and between all the girl-on-girl fighting, the cheating, and the "I Miss Janelle" orgy, everyone found time to weigh in with their two cents. Check out the first edition of Quotastic RW Moments and stay tuned for more later on today.
First up: Nick inadvertently overshares about his pre-teens, then Sarah and Kim clash with Bri by bringing up the taboo subject of her brush with the law.
"She got her rocks off and then she was done...I haven't worked that hard since elementary school." --Nick, after his one-night stand. (Seriously, which school was this kid going to??)
"You all got to help me out with this. My thing is, if I kiss everyone here, including you two, then it's okay." --Will, propositioning Dave and Nick
"Um, not really. Not in my book." --Nick, not interested
"Cause it was just, like, a friendly rooomate thing." --Will
"Well, since you're being real friendly, wanna tickle my b@!!%?" --Dave Read more...
