I’m not exactly sure who handles casting at ‘The Real World,’ but they should get a raise, an Emmy and any other accolade you can give a casting director. This year’s show features the best, most disturbed, cast of all-time.

There is a stripper, a former meth-addict and someone with an arrest warrant issued for them. Oh, that’s all the SAME PERSON! It just gets better from there.

You also have Joey, a roid-raging alcoholic who has a problem with drugs. Ratings GOLD! There is also a S
outhern girl who is a total racist and doesn’t even know it and then perhaps the best cast member of all time in Greg, the winner of this year’s viewer’s choice for roommates, he doesn’t even care that he is on the show. It is awesome.

In this week’s episode, Joey gets drunk, destroys the house, threatens all his roommates, cries and then gets sent to rehab with Dr. Drew from ‘Loveline.’ Only in Hollywood.

In case you missed it, here is what you need to know about each cast member:

Joey: Alcoholic and avid weightlifter now in rehab for addiction to everything. Cries a lot.

Kimberly: Made famous for saying things like ‘let’s not get all ghetto.’ Resident racist is clueless.

Dave: So far the most normal of the bunch.

Sarah: Good girl recently admitted an eating disorder. Destined to cheat on boyfriend soon.

Will: Wedding DJ trying to make it in Hollywood. Seems like a good guy.

Brianna: Stripper recently returned home after a bench warrant was issued for a fight she had with her boyfriend in Philadelphia

Greg: Viewers choice refers to people as ‘peasants’ and women as ‘associates.’ Greatest cast member of all-time!

She proved that on yesterday’s ‘View’ when she jumped in on ‘Higher Love’ with Steve Winwood. My bet is he never goes back and that there were thousands of cats lined up outside after the show.

Check it out on the web site for ‘The View’ under ‘Whoopi’s duet.

All that is required is an e-mail address (you have one right?).

Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are set to appear in an upcoming issue.

This of course creates the immediate need for a launch party in L.A. And that means you can expect a video camera to document the night. Here you go as the Kardashian sisters, reality TV stars in their own right, talk about the magazine as Francis lords over them eerily on the red carpet.

Second, in the interest of full disclosure, I've been fist-pumping to Miley's song "See You Again" for a while now without ever knowing it was her singing. Oopsies. My bad. Great song, though. Seriously, it's an awesome club song. Watch a YouTube concert video at the end of this post. (I challenge you not to fist pump to the beat.)

Third, I'm still of the belief that the photo taken by Annie Leibovitz wasn't worth all the hullabaloo it generated across this pop culture world of ours. Don't teenagers spend their entire teen years trying to look older than they really are anyway?

Fourth, the most upsetting thing about this entire situation is how people are saying Miley Cyrus is washed up now and it's time for Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato to replace Cyrus as the next tween queen.

Have we really reached such a tragically subterranean level in society that we are now searching for the next young teen girl to corner the tween market?

I understand child stars have been around for a long time (just peep this photo gallery for proof), but this seems way worse than the days of Zach and Kelly on "Saved by the Bell" or Schroeder and Bateman on "Silver Spoons."

Now, we wait for a young teen marketed to preteens to do something some parent in a position of power disagrees with and exploits publicly, then we pounce on them and look for a fresh start and a drama-free clean slate.

It's one thing to do that with adults who are accustomed to such things? But now it's time to mess around with young teens like they're 30-year-olds?

Wow, are we really that sick?

P.S. Here's that "See You Again" video we promised.

The better thought is this: "Why didn't I go to Mulcahy's, a relatively small music venue, compared with what Bret Michaels is used to, to see this stop on his 'Rock of Love' tour?"

Michaels sold out the place Thursday night. Inside was jam-packed, even more crammed than the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, the most popular drinking night of the year. And the dude can still turn out a killer performance. Opening with "Talk Dirty to Me" and closing with "Nothing but a Good Time," Michaels was full of energy. The crowd was amped from the start, highlighted by the women's undergarments that made their way through the air and on to the stage before Michaels even started the show.

He went from playing electric guitar to acoustic guitar to some crazy harmonica solo to introduce "Your Mama Don't Dance." You haven't lived until you've seen and heard Bret Michaels perform "Every Rose Has its Thorn" followed by "Fallen Angel."

Poison hits aside, Michaels covered "Sweet Home Alabama," one of the first songs he learned to play, he said, and "Knockin on Heaven's Door." He also played a few cuts off the new album, "Rock My World," in stores June 3.

In a venue such as Mulcahy's, you get a more intimate feel for a concert. This isn't Jones Beach or Nassau Coliseum, which no matter how close your seats are, you still feel the expansiveness of the venue. (By the way, Michaels and the rest of Poison play Jones Beach on July 30, with Dokken and Sebastian Bach on the undercard.) Michaels worked the crowd well and took full advantage of the intimate feel, stopping to address the crowd, having a dude in front of the stage to take close-up pictures with fans' cameras for them and passing a beer to a fan in the crowd.

As for the crowd at Bret Michaels concert, you get three types of people:

1) Poison fans
2) "Rock of Love 3" wannabe contestants
3) Cougars

And there are quite a few that fall into more than one of those categories.

Get your fill of Michaels when you can now because it's being reported that he and Amber are happy together and Richie Sambora is stepping in for "Rock of Love 3."
