"Joe Millionaire" - Fixed? (Possible redundancy)
MSNBC ^ | June 18, 2003 | Jeannette Walls

“Joe Millionaire” star Evan Marriott continues to talk trash about his TV-arranged romance.

Marriott has been doing the talk-show circuit in Canada, where, according to one source, he suggested that the show’s producers urged him to pick “winner” Zora. “He said he wasn’t really attracted to any of the contestants,” according to the source. “He was hot for one of the production people. But the producers wanted Zora.”

And in an interview, the former construction worker had some not entirely kind words for the woman he “chose.” “After the show, we spent two days together,” Marriott told Canada’s National Post. “She had gotten five necklaces, a hope ring, $500,000, and I had chosen her and she still showed me no affection. I was like, ‘Help a brother out!’ Even after the show, she was still uncomfortable and said she still felt weird about the whole thing.”

Sarah, the show’s runner-up, tried to contact Marriott only once, he said, after she posed for Playboy. “She tried inviting me to the party for the magazine,” he said. Marriott declined. “She did that to launch her career. But I’m doing all this for the money.”

We were surfing last night and happened upon a show (on Fox, I think) that was called something about Not Celebrity Lookalikes.

It was a hidden camera show that featured people that looked like celebrities doing pranks, such as "Madonna" and "Janet" getting into a cat fight in a restaurant. The women playing M and J were really good! It was hilarious.

Then they had this Bubba lookalike going into a video shop with his secret service and hitting up the clerks to get porn tapes for him. We really did laugh.

They had a good Anna Nicole lookalike, too. She did a very funny sketch.

The producers seemed to go out of their way to dig up sleazy gold-diggers for the Joe Millionaire show.

Ha! I think they'd have to dig pretty hard through the applicants to come up with one that is NOT a gold-digger.
