Calling all culture vultures …
Wanna be famous? Wanna win $250,000? Yeah, we thought so.
If pop culture is your specialty, we’re about to make your day. VH1 and Entertainment Weekly will be in town Feb. 9-10 casting for the second season of “The World Series of Pop Culture.”
Put together a team of three, then log on to the VH1 Web site to sign up. Slots are limited, so don’t delay.
The Austin teams will duke it out Feb. 11 — Quick: On their self-titled sitcom, Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney work as bottle-cappers at what Milwaukee brewery? — and the winners will be guaranteed a slot on the show. Taping is set for March in New York City, so clear your calendars. Runners-up will also have a shot at advancing.
Not sure what you’re getting yourself into? You can check out a mini-marathon of shows from the first season starting at 3 p.m. Christmas Eve on VH1.
And, in case you’re wondering, Laverne and Shirley worked at the Schotz brewery … but you already knew that, right?
