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.

If Porsche does not know about the fire and was not at the location? If she doesn’t know the man involved, or know about the neighborhood, then how did the neighbors get her name?

Don’t worry Porsche, I was a “person of interest” myself out in Gwinett a couple of years ago but was able to hush it up.

Porsche obviously has problems. There is just too much suspect activity around her. It should be very easy to prove whether Porsche knew these people or not.

I agree. I don’t believe Ms. Foxx either. I think eventually the truth will come out.

Something funny is going on here. I don’t understand how several witnesses can place her at the scene but now they say it was someone else. If she was there I would think that charges will be following soon. Time will tell.

Porsche, Please go somewhere and ” sat down” while you still can. Ask O.J about testing the system. Former ATLian.
