But they now have a legion of unwitting new fans thanks to Trey Songz.

Good morning, Washington. Happy October, and happy new fiscal year. A noticeable drop in temperature this weekend reminds us it’s not too long before we’ll witness a noticeable shift in hues. Some may mourn the loss of warmer days but nearly all of us can look forward to approaching shades of autumn. What the new fiscal year will bring is far less certain.

Golzar Amirmotazedi The producers of MTV’s The Real World D.C. say a lawsuit filed by a local woman who appeared on the show is “totally without merit.” On Wednesday, we reported on the lawsuit, filed by Golzar Amirmotazedi, 22, against The Real World D.C.. Amirmotazedi claims her appearance on the show constituted an invasion of privacy and has caused her emotional distress. She’s asking for $5 million in damages. Bunim-Murray Productions, the company behind…

Golzar Amirmotazedi, who is suing MTV for her depiction on ‘The Real World D.C.’ Part of the fun of pretty much any installment of MTV’s long-running series The Real World is the interaction between the roommates and the locals of whichever city the producers chose for that season. There’s bound to be drinking, making out, fighting and maybe even sex — all of it caught on camera. Everyone knows this by now. But one…

We’ve been through 14 episodes of house drama, personal crisis and growth, multiple dinners at Buca di Beppo, one visit to the ER, and enough Wicked Liquid to scar a lifetime of memories. And it all happened within a four-block radius of the now infamous Dupont Circle townhouse, spare the stray trip to one or two other spots in our fair city. I couldn’t be happier it’s over. No, really — I’m spent. It’s…

Well, we’re down to seven roommates and just one episode. It’s been a wild ride, and if you need to catch up before it’s all over, check out our detailed re-caps to date. Below the jump, we meet Mike’s boyfriend, Ty gets a little frisky with an older woman and the roommates are overcome with a sense that maybe they should do something of value before the season’s over….

That’s four episodes down of The Real World D(upont) C(ircle). Last night’s installment of the long-running reality show was chock full of material, so let’s get straight to the bullet points, below the jump. (If you need to catch up, here are our recaps of the premiere and episodes two and three.)…

The premiere was OK. The second episode quickly went downhill. And the third installment of The Real World D(upont) C(ircle)? Just be thankful if all you have to know about it is my summary below, delivered once again in bullet points. Real World XXIII: Washington DC – MTV Shows Ty and Emily are somewhere between hook-up buddies and the house’s first relationship.OMG they had sex.OMG Ty called what they have a “relationship.”OMG Emily is afraid…

Last week’s premiere of The Real World D(upont) C(ircle), was marginally tolerable. That tolerance quickly wore off with yesterday’s episode. The highlights, such as they were, bullet-point style: Real World XXIII: Washington DC – MTV Shows Last week, we thanked the show’s producers for painting the walls of one of the house’s rooms with the D.C. flag. But last night, we noticed that the same room has three prominent pictures of the Statue of Liberty…

MTV has posted the first trailer for The Real World DC on its web site. It includes a number of establishing shots of our fair city (including, inexplicably, an intro featuring President Barack Obama exiting Marine One to the tune of the Civil War-era song “When Johnny Comes Marching Home,” aka “The Ants Go Marching,” … maybe the producers confused it with “Hail to the Chief”?), and there are a couple of fun scenes showing…
