I found this article. Haven't seen it posted yet. It pretty much is saying "Yay for Mary!", who apparently is a girl from around this local newspaper's area that is going to be in the top 10. She looks like this: 
And here's the article:

*EDIT*
Apparently the link doesn't work. But that is the link from the article. It just doesn't link from different sites for some reason. Just search go here and it's the article about "La Comedia"

I just have this horrible feeling that whomever the MTV crowd ultimately crowns the next Elle Woods is going to be someone without the stamina to do this marathon role eight times a week, and will be missing performances by the second week. It's one thing to be able to do the role in rehearsals, but another thing entirely to do it onstage all the time.
Becky Gulsvig and Haven Burton had better be ready to go on a lot!

Posted: 2/22/08 at 1:04pmAnyone else think she looks a little old in that picture? Just doesn't seem like a cast member of LEGALLY BLONDE to me, much less Elle Woods.

WEll, on the upside, seeing more of Becky as Elle is never a bad thing :-P
I saw a piece in EW last week about Caridee English (one of the Top Model winner's) being hired to host a "new MTV reality show set to start in spring that's never been done before" and since she was at the MTV premiere, perhaps she is the host?

Oooh probably! But why Caridee?
And also - that girl DOES look too old.

Agreed.

Posted: 2/22/08 at 3:30pmWell, I hear Mitchell is bringing in some "ringers" in fear this will turn into another Grease disaster.

I agree! This is a disaster idea for a disaster show that's trying to stay open

Posted: 2/22/08 at 3:57pmI think she is really pretty as well. I think she looks a tad like Kristen Bell.

Posted: 2/22/08 at 3:59pmShe IS gorgeous. Just a tad on the older side, IMO.

Maybe not too old, but her look isn't right for the part. Basing that one ONE picture, of course, so hey...

Posted: 2/22/08 at 5:17pmI thought they were putting the winner of this show in the tour.

Posted: 2/22/08 at 5:26pm"ringers"...YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT had some of those in the first audition rounds in NYC, but they were cut anyway. Though some would say that La Austin and also the chick from the TMM tour ("Rocker Sandy") were ringers anyway.
just keep swimming along, don't rise to the....

yeah, i have to echo that whoever wins this shindig ain't gonna have a chance at surviving 8 shows a week.
I mean, hell, Bundy can barely do it and she's an established Broadway actress.

Posted: 2/22/08 at 9:16pmMany of you are assuming that tv viewers will call in and vote for their favorites on the LB reality show. That will not be the case here. This is not going to be anything like "Your The One That I Want".

Posted: 2/22/08 at 10:05pmGrease was not and isn't a disaster. It's still running despite some dire predictions, and making respectable grosses. Secondly, the actress pictured looks younger than LBB, who looked ages older than Reese Witherson, and it still worked out. Anyone interested could have auditioned.

Posted: 2/22/08 at 11:26pmI wasn't saying she was ugly, she just looks old. She's very pretty.

Posted: 2/23/08 at 2:35amI have a friend who is in the top ten. She leaves for NYC sometimes this week.

Posted: 2/23/08 at 11:13amHow does anyone figure this woman looks older than Bundy?

God, I hope this is more like ANTM and they film them in a house together.
I would watch that in a heartbeat!

Posted: 2/23/08 at 2:33pmYes, they are going to live on the floor of a hotel. It's going to be filmed exactly like the typical MTV reality shows as opposed to Grease, Idol...
