More reality TV news after the jump:
The Times-Picayune's Brett Anderson reports that two New Orleans chefs will appear on the Food Network competition show Chopped, which is sort of like if there was a 30-minute show devoted to Top Chef "quickfire" challenges. The two chefs are Diana Chauvin of La Thai Uptown and Upperline's David Bridges. Read the full story here.
Normally I wouldn't recommend for anyone to appear on a reality TV show, because I'm pretty sure it could ruin your life. But this sounds pretty cool: an upcoming primetime series called Twin Towns, in which families in the U.S. temporarily swap lives with counterparts in the U.K., is scouting in New Orleans. You and your family could get a free trip to Liverpool! The show team is looking for families available to film between April 16-and June 31. If you're interested, email your information to twintownsus@knickerbockerglory.tv.
