Be Brittany Andrew’s Bitch
Are you man enough to succumb to the whims of the all-dominating Miss Brittany Andrews? Well, if you believe you are, this is the chance of a life time to become Brittany’s Bitch.
Brittany Andrews in association with Old Pueblo Distribution is holding the contest of all contests, “Be Brittany’s Bitch” at the 2005 AVN Adult Expo in Las Vegas.
The winner will be brought to Las Vegas, all expenses paid with a special invite to the convention as Brittany’s Bitch. This entails actually having Miss Brittany escort the winner by a leash and dog collar into the show to join her in signing autographs. Now here is where the true fun begins, she will be standing on (trampling) the winner the whole time that she is signing autographs up to four hours a-day!
The lucky winner will worship Brittany all day on the convention floor succumbing to all her nasty whims, from licking her boots to who knows what she thinks up…. The winner will not be allowed to walk anywhere without Miss Brittany “walking him”. She will lead him around by his “dog collar” that he will proudly wear with the leather outfit Miss Brittany has picked out for him.
Once again, this winner will be at Brittany’s Beck and Call. Brittany is bound to showing off her skills as the premiere dominatrix without crossing any lines that would make this illegal according to local and convention laws. But what happens afterwards is all up to Brittany, I can’t state that all this will end with the show doors closing…
For you to be considered for this contest, you need to write a short note to us explaining why you deserve to be “Brittany’s Bitch” Also, if you have any ideas on what you would like done to you by the all-encompassing Brittany, please let us know. All entries need to be received by December 1st, 2004. To be considered, please give us your mailing address, email address and phone # so we can alert you to winning.
Write all entries to contest@opdistribution.com and we will be announcing a winner in the first week of December, 2004. Read more here.

About the new season
The new season started September 13th. The house has moved from Chicago to Los Angeles (Hollywood Hills area).
Here's more:
"Starting Over" is, well, starting over — and has added former talk show host Iyanla Vanzant as a "life coach" for the show's move to L.A. this season.
Vanzant, who hosted "Iyanla" for Buena Vista back in 2001, joins Rhonda Britten as the life coaches for the second season. Rana Walker was the other life coach last season, when "Starting Over" unfolded here in New York on Ch. 4.
Also new to the "Starting Over" team this season is Stan Katz, a Ph.D. who's got over 25 years of experience as a clinical/forensic psychologist and has co-authored several self-help books about relationships and abuse.
He'll be a regular presence in the house, helping the six "Starting Over" women — Josie, 21; Towanda, 30; Sinae, 18; Jennifer, 21; Deborah, 46; and Kim, 46. They beat out over 3,000 women who auditioned for season #2. The new season of "Starting Over" premieres Sept. 13.

Real World San Diego News
A 22-year-old woman claims she was sexually assaulted at a converted commercial building being used as a production studio for the MTV show "Real World" in San Diego, court documents revealed Tuesday.
The alleged victim told police that she met the suspect, identified as Justin, after consuming several mixed drinks at a Broadway nightclub the night of Nov. 14., according to a search warrant in the case.
Justin, said to be an acquaintance of a male "Real World" cast member, offered the woman a drink, which she drank, according to a search warrant obtained by authorities.
The next thing she knew, the woman said, she woke up at 10:30 the next morning on a bed at the production studio/residence on North Harbor Drive -- thinking that someone had had sex with her while she was unconscious.
