JWoww):</b> I worked at a nightclub in Long Island. We held casting calls all the time. They were casting for a VH1 show called Paris Hilton\u2019s My New BFF and\n my best friend wanted to be on it so bad. He kept trying out, and I was\n like, \u201cListen, try out at my club one night. I\u2019ll try out with you.\u201d \nThey called me a couple weeks later \u2014 \u201cWe really think we would love you\n for this Number One Guido show.\u201d</p><p><b>Ronnie Ortiz-Magro:</b> I\n had a shore house with my friends already in Belmar. I was out one \nnight, doing whatever I do \u2014 I guess being a creep, if you wanna say \n\u2014 and a lady approached me. She was like, \u201cListen, you fit the criteria \nof somebody that we\u2019re casting for a show. Would you like to try out?\u201d \nThen I did a video audition. Of course, I acted like a complete crazy person. Took my shirt off, fist pumped. You know, what we do best \u2014 acting like maniacs.</p></blockquote><p>I was gonna tag this 90s90s90s but a 2009 debut doesn\u2019t count as \u201clong 90s\u201d by any definition</p><p>be aware that this is a promo for a reunion series and things in blogs you recognize framed as \u201coral histories\u201d are promos in 2018 publicity<br/></p>"}
