The Beantown Bloggery

I'd prefer if we as a state didn't get sucked into the swirling black hole of despair that I find Jersey Shore to be, but it looks like it's inevitable.  They're casting for a new, similar show set in MA.

A Jersey Shore spinoff is in the works called Wicked Summer, which will take place in the sultry climes of Beantown rather than on the sandy beaches ringing the land of GTL, E! News learned Monday.  "Jersey Shore is its own groundbreaking series," says Doron Ofir, the casting director for both shows. "Wicked Summer is being developed more as a docusoap."

But just because the setting is heading north, don't think the subject matter is going highbrow.  "We're giving Massachusetts the chance to show the world why Bay Staters have got the hottest girls and proudly buff guys who believe in God, family, politics, sports, beer and partying!" Ofir says.

The open casting site for Wicked Summer says that producers are looking for "blue collar, hard working, harder partying, tough talking, damn good looking Mass natives from all over the state."
