TV's 'America's Biggest A**hole' casting in Boston

A just-for-men version of Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club" hitting reality TV? Yep. Casting scouts for the new Spike-TV reality show, "America's Biggest A**hole," are on the hunt for those who "have the charm of Vince Vaughn, Denis Leary and Stiffler rolled into one."

Ouch.

The crew over at Boston Casting is holding an open casting call 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, July 13 at Boston Casting located 129 Braintree Street in Allston. They're also hosting auditions 6-9 p.m. Wednesday, July 15 at Red Sky located at 16 North Street in Faneuil Hall. Bring a photo and bio to the open calls.

According to the posting here, contestants will "win cash, fame and respect for their ability to say what mere mortals could only dream of saying."

Not sure if you qualify for reality TV's so-called "A" list? Ask yourself this: Even though some people think you're hysterical, do you happen to piss a lot of people off?

Boston's Whitney Collings kicked off 'Bad Girls Club'

As previously reported in Loaded Gun, Whitney Collings did get the boot on the Tuesday, March 10 episode of Oxygen's "The Bad Girls Club."

However, she didn't go down without a fight.

Collings, a Salem State biology major from Lynnfield and a barmaid at Felt in Boston's Downtown Crossing, had her gloves on during a live session on Oxygen's TweetOverse during the broadcast.

A mix of alcohol and tension turns ugly when the cast of “Bad Girls Club” makes a run for the border in a surprise trip to Cancun, Mexico. The girls back up Collings, who gangs up on Meade. It’s a move that escalates into a full-blown street brawl ... which gets Collings kicked out of the house.

After a close call with the Mexican police, Collings is apprehended for pulling Meade's hair. This is how we do it in Boston? I don’t think so.

Her response to the Amber Meade smackdown? "Hey, I was holding back. You're lucky I didn't crack her face with my fists. Amber deserved a hair-pull and a kick-down," she tweets here. "I mean you would do the same if a drunk blonde came after you with a f****** shoe!"

The local, who claims to have a background in boxing and was allegedly raised in the oh-so-mean projects of Boston, continued her non-stop assault on blonde party girl Meade since the first episode.

However, it's not the last we'll see of the local troublemaker. The Ambers, the Fab Three and even expelled members Kayla, Ailea and Whitney, reunite for the first time together since production wrapped five months ago (taped on Wednesday, March 11). Perez Hilton hosts the reunion show airing Tuesday, March 31.

Similar to her reality-TV peer Luke Verge from "Bromance," the Lynnfield local watched the episode as it unfolded at The Place, 2 Broad Street in the Financial District.

Will Whitney Collings get the 'Bad Girls' boot?

Whitney Collings, a Salem State biology major from Lynnfield and barmaid at Felt in Boston's Downtown Crossing, had her gloves on throughout the third season of Oxygen's "The Bad Girls Club."

The local, who claims to have a background in boxing and was allegedly raised in the oh-so-mean projects of Boston, continued her non-stop assault on blonde party girl Amber Meade since the first episode.

But will she follow in the shoes of Ripsi Terzian, the infamous poor little rich girl from Watertown who was kicked off in the second episode of season one of "Bad Girls" after a violent drunken tirade?

Based on the last episode of “Bad Girls Club,” odds are good that Collings, a.k.a. “Boston,” will get the “Bad Girls” boot on the Tuesday, March 10 episode.

A mix of alcohol and tension turns ugly when the cast of “Bad Girls Club” makes a run for the border in a surprise trip to Cancun, Mexico. The girls back up Collings, who gangs up on Meade. It’s a move that escalates into a full-blown street brawl ... and reportedly gets Collings kicked out of the house.

A Loaded Gun source says Collings and her housemate Ailea Carr are expelled during a chaotic house meeting in response to the bloody street fight in Mexico.

This is how we do it in Boston? I don’t think so.

However, it's not the last we'll see of the local troublemaker. The Ambers, the Fab Three and even expelled members Kayla, Ailea and Whitney, reunite for the first time together since production wrapped five months ago. Perez Hilton hosts the reunion show airing Tuesday, March 31.

Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club" held a preliminary casting call at the Liquor Store back in April 2007 while filming the season finale of "Bad Girls Road Trip" featuring players from season one.

Felt barmaid featured in Oxygen's 'Bad Girls Club'

Whitney Collings, a Salem State biology major from Lynnfield and barmaid at Felt in Boston's Downtown Crossing, had her gloves on in the premiere episode of season three of Oxygen's "The Bad Girls Club."

The local, who claims to have a background in boxing and was allegedly raised in the oh-so-mean projects of Boston, had her hand in a house revolt against blonde party girl Amber M. on the popular reality show.

All talk and no action? We'll have to wait and see.

Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club" held a preliminary casting call at the Liquor Store back in April 2007 while filming the season finale of "Bad Girls Road Trip" featuring players from season one.

There's no doubt Collings will represent Boston better ... and hopefully longer ... than Ripsi Terzian, the infamous poor little rich girl from Watertown who was kicked off in the second episode of season one of "Bad Girls" after a violent drunken tirade.

Does she get the "Bad Girls Club" boot?

‘Bad Girls Road Trip’ in Boston


Few people know this, but I worked as a production associate on the season finale of “Bad Girls Road Trip” when it filmed in Boston last April.

After watching the first season’s episodes unfold--you know when poor little rich girl Ripsi Terzian drinks a helluva lot of Tequila and goes psycho on her roommates--I was somewhat apprehensive to join the crew when I got a call from the producers.

Ripsi was kicked off the show, right? Not exactly. In the Boston finale, Ripsi returns and she has to deal with some unfinished business.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a season finale of a reality show without some manufactured drama. My first task on the set at their hotel in Needham was to purchase booze for the girls for what everyone was calling “the party bus”--i.e. one of those broke down trolley cars with music and a disco ball.

The booze budget was around $500 for five girls. Hmmmm, interesting.

Everyone was talking about a smackdown that occurred the previous night at a club in Boston. Here’s how Zara colorfully describes the drama in her letter on Oxygen.com:

“Out of nowhere two bitches started to dance with us and they were ugly bitches too. We walked away and they got offended and all of a sudden…. The rhino attacked us. I closed my eyes and said, ‘Oh Fuck.’ I closed my eyes and started swinging. Ripsi had one of the bitches hair and the other bitch had my hair. All of a sudden we were dancing and that became a rumble on the dance floor with 7 bitches started to fight the two of us. While fat ass Leslie sat on her ass watching and rat faced Aimee sat on a bench watching too, Ripsi and I got attacked.”

I was somewhat apprehensive to be near this Ripsi chick. Of course, guess who we had to pick up and escort to the casting session at The Liquor Store? Yep, demon beast Tipsi Ripsi.

At first, we couldn’t find her home in Watertown. Of course, her response when we phoned her was, “it’s the biggest house on the street.” Ripsi was right. We found it.

She was dressed in what looked like a black Chanel cocktail dress—and was actually stunning in person. She talked about how she initially caught the eye of the show’s casting director after a girl-on-girl catfight outside of a restaurant in Harvard Square.

Meanwhile, the bad girls were boozing on the party bus as it slowly trekked from Needham to Boston. The vehicle kept breaking down … which, of course, means more time for the ladies to get drunk off their asses.

We drop Ripsi off on the corner and she meets up with the girls under the disco ball. The scene at The Liquor Store gradually devolved as the evening progressed. One of the girls—Zara I think—decided to take a permanent marker and tag the mirrors in the ladies bathroom.

The bus headed to a swank restaurant in the Back Bay area. Truth is, Ripsi didn’t do a repeat of the violent, drunken outburst we witnessed on the second episode of “The Bad Girls Club.”

After all is said and done, Ripsi won me over ... well, in that “Flavor of Love” meets “Jerry Springer” sort of way.

Anyway, catch the Boston season finale tonight (10 p.m. Tuesday, July 24) on Oxygen.
