2/3: “Top Chef” casting call Feb. 22 at Craft, Porsche Foxx denies involvement in fire
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bravo’s hit cooking show “Top Chef” is coming to Atlanta seeking season six contestants. Naturally, the show will do the casting at Craft, the restaurant run by Tom Colicchio (right), one of the judges on the show.
Be there between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. February 22. More info at www.craftatlanta.com
The series is having a strong season five, with ratings up 18 percent over season four so far. Last week, the show drew 3.2 million viewers.
Of the final six this season, Stefan has performed the best, followed closely by felow European Fabio, fellow baldie Hosea and intense Jamie. Hosea’s wannabe squeeze Leah has an outside shot. Least likely to win is bug-eyed Carla, who has been the most inconsistent.
- I’m awaiting to see what happened with ousted V-103 jock Porsche Foxx, who was at a townhome that went down in flames earlier today. She was being sought by cops this afternoon as a “person of interest.” She and her boyfriend were seen arguing while the fire was raging. At a press conference, she said she didn’t know the man and had nothing to do with it. She said she was home alone but her story changed several times during the press conference.
