Re: RW1: Where Are They Now? (People Weekly Extra)

Let's see, who from RW's had kids?

Julie (the one mentioned in the article, and another in '04)
Tami (two girls, who I think are child "mactresses" [model/actresses])
Rachel & Sean's brood
Pam & Judd's son
Jacinda (but since she's distanced herself from the show, I doubt she'd want her kid involved)
Irene (season 2) had a couple (a son and another one, I'm not sure)
Brynn (either has two sons with another baby on the way, or one son with a baby on the way)

...and many others I can't think of at the moment. I know Melissa from New Orleans and her husband are trying---her blog has gone from funny accounts of Shorty and Mercy to a boring "I wanna be a mommy!" blog. (Not knocking motherhood, but some women seem to only identify themselves as mothers and live vicariously through their kids, as opposed to having their own identities, hobbies, goals and ideas outside of motherhood.)

There is nothing boring about any of her blogs, she is freaking hilarious whether its about Shorty and Mercy or it is about her wanting to have a baby. But I will give you this, I miss Shorty and Mercy stories...I so wish I could hang with them for a day, LOL.

Oh wow, I didn't know they visited, to be honest I missed the majority of that season, But I instantly loved Melissa because she looks just like one of my very good friends (only difference is my friend is about 5'8" or so and she is hispanic, but they still have the same complexion color)

It was from "The RWNO You Never Saw." I heard a rumor their scenes were cut from the actual show because Shorty and Mercy kept talking to the cameras. I have no clue what the truth about that is.

I think Eric really just has a lot of issues. If you read the blurb from his 2001 update I posted upthread, it said that he was going to commit suicide by slitting his wrists, but a message from above [me paraphrasing] stopped him. I think he's now on "a path of enlightenment." Eric was sensitive back on RW, but he was never this issue-laden.

But I think he works with a youth-empowerment program now, which is a plus, so I can't knock him for that.

And Andre? I actually found he has updated photos on his IAmOnMTV page:

MTV's The Real World | Andre Comeau

The other season 1 pages there weren't created by the actual cast, but probably by interns who work for MTV. The only picture for Julie's is the same one I'm using here (which was easily found online) and only mentions her first son, and the photo for Heather's is pretty old. That actually goes for a lot of the older RW casts---the photo used for Rebecca from Seattle was that of porn star Rebecca Lord, not Rebecca Lord from RW. Those interns did not do their research.
