Fame grows on trees

Once again, I am reminded how truly little celebrity I have in this world. And once again, I have Real World alums (ie, guys and gals who were picked to live together in a cushy pad and have their lives taped) to thank.

This time, it is two of the members of the Las Vegas cast, which featured the most drunken debauchery in the history of MTV. These 20-something reality lovebirds, Irulan and Alton, have launched an online dating service to help lonely hearts who want to "come out a winner in love" ostensibly hook up in hot tubs as they did on TV.

So, if I get this right, these Real Worlders go to college (sometimes), get on an MTV show, scream at each other and get wasted, gain lots of popularity, then continue to come back on other MTV reality shows, scream at each other and get wasted, then get paid lots of dough to appear on college campuses and talk about, you know, grown-up stuff like screaming and drinking.

And these two gush on their "Make Love Happen" site, with heart-felt testimonials, reminders about living in Las Vegas' Palms casino -- all while taking on really important questions and issues:

We’ve been asked by so many people: How do we do it? How do we stay together? When did we know that we found love? We decided to help other people find love like we did by giving them the chance to find their true love and soulmate through makelovehappen.com. This website can almost guarantee that you will find someone to love and be loved right back if you take the steps that we did and feel the way about your loved one like the way we feel for each other. You’ll for sure come out a winner in love.
