GENERAL: 'The Real World' Brooklyn, our odds

The Observer breaks news that the Real World is coming to Brooklyn! Uh. Here’s our odds for where the house will be located—MTV has been tight lipped thus far.

2 to 1: Williamsburg. Undoubtedly Brooklyn’s coolest neighborhood, at least if your’re 14, live in Pensacola and listen to Armor For Sleep.

5 to 1: Ft. Green. If you haven’t read a number of real estate trend stories, FG is an ethnically diverse nabe that is BLOWING THE EF UP. One downside is the lack of public transportation, but when has that ever inhibited the roommates from driving to the club.   

10 to1: Carroll Gardens. Please. God. No! (Multiple staffers may or may not live there).

20 to 1: Park Slope. If there was ever going to be a way to transform this hood’s rep from stroller city it could be to plop the seven strangers on the corner of 9th Street and 7th Avenue. Never gonna happen.

50 to 1: East New York. SoHo was sorta rag tag when the series started filming in 1991. But not East New York rag tag. —Matt Rodbard

THEATER: Tony noms announced!

The nominees for the 62nd annual Tony Awards were announced this morning by previous winners David Hyde pierce ("Curtains") and Sara Ramierez ("Spamalot"). While there weren't a ton of shockers, there were a couple of the requisite surprise snubs (not even one nomination for Debbie Allen's all-black revival of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" or the star-studded "The Country Girl") and it looks like June 15th's ceremony will be one hell of a show, with tight races in several of the categories (leading actress in a musical, perhaps?).

While we're not playing favorites, we're pulling for LuPone and the rest of the "Gypsy" gang to take home the seven awards they were nominated for. Especially director Arthur Laurents, who happens to be in his 90s...probably not so many nominations lingering in his future. For a full list of nominees and all the Tony news, vids and info you could ever want, click here.
