‘Single Ladies’ Now Casting for Extras in Atlanta

Queen Latifah, producer of the hit VH1 show ‘Single Ladies‘ is casting for extras for the show’s upcoming season.

According to AJC’s ‘The Buzz’ columnist Jennifer Brett, ‘Single Ladies‘ which is filmed entirely on location in Atlanta, is seeking “super attractive, sexy, hot African American women ages 25-35 height and weight proportionate.” who are available Jan. 20.

If that’s you email three photos and your dimensions along with contact information to Singleladies2atl@gmail.com. Put “HOT” in the subject line.

They also need “high society matron types ages 45-60? who can work Jan. 23 and Jan. 27. These extras need glamourous wardrobes and a confident style. If that’s you email three photos and all your specs to singleladies2atl@gmail.com. Put “MATRON” in the subject line. Source

In plain English, this means you must be LSLH with an exotic look that isn’t typical of Black women. If you don’t believe me, show up on Jan. 20 looking like Shekinah from around the way with butt shots, fill ins nails and a head full of Yaki, and see what happens.

Obama, MTV Screens Out ‘Ugly People’ for Town Hall Meeting

According to Politico.com‘s columnist Ben Smith, MTV, BET and CMT are casting the audience for a town hall meeting with President Obama in Washington, D.C. next week.

The casting form, which can be found on this website, lists the qualifications for audience members.

While all the networks mentioned are seeking males & females, 18+ — only MTV requests a recent photo of potential audience members.

Seeking—Audience Members: males & females, 18+.

To apply, email townhallaudience@mtvnmix.com and put “Town Hall” in the subject line. To ensure that the audience represents diverse interests and political views, include your name, phone number, hometown, school attending, your job and what issues, if any, you are interested in or passionate about. Also, provide a recent photo and short description of your political views. Submission deadline: Oct. 14. No pay.

Ben Smith theorizes that MTV (and Obama) prefer an audience made up of pretty people who reflect MTV’s “Teen Spirit” idealism.

But I’ll take his theory a step further and say that MTV (and Obama) are seeking to control not only the ‘look’ of the audience, but the number of blacks in it also.

Kelly McAndrew, a spokeswoman for Viacom, which owns MTV, denies that MTV is screening out ugly people, blacks or Republicans from Obama’s Town Hall meeting.

“We’re just trying to get the broadest, most diverse audience possible,” she said. “We want to have divergent points of view – we’re not looking for a single-view audience.”

“We’re going to have a very diverse looking audience,” McAndrew said. “We want gender diversity, we want ethnicity diversity, we want religious diversity, we want political view diversity. We want diversity of all kinds.”

I’d be interested to know how many black applicants are turned down based on their photos.
