Atlantans keeping it reality
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A quick recap of Atlantans in three reality shows:
* Jay McGee of Roswell was voted off “Make Me Wanna Be a Supermodel” on Bravo, mostly because he failed to impress in front of the camera. Casey Skinner of Dunwoody, also up for elimination last week, made a great comeback, doing well on the runway.
* Atlanta fitness trainer ShaNay Norvell will compete for $100,000 Feb. 18 on NBC’s “American Gladiators” after winning a close battle last week. The difference: her ability to stay on a platform during the “Joust” while Krush beat her with a big stick.
* Diana DeGarmo and other participants in CMT’s “Gone Country” watched as the show turned into “Being Bobby Brown” redux as Brown drank too much, slept-walked, declined to corral horses at Gretchen Wilson’s ranch and refused to spit watermelon seeds or fling toilet seats in a goofy competition.
GLAVINE’S 16TH

Tom Glavine jokes with heart transplant recipient Lexi McCullough, 6, and Kristin Power of the Georgia Transplant Association during Glavine’s 16th annual fund-raiser for the GTA.
Buzz walked over to the Georgia Aquarium on Friday night to attend Tom Glavine’s annual spring training fund-raiser for the Georgia Transplant Foundation. After three quick plates of couscous and other various apps, we ventured into the Ocean’s ballroom to check out the action, which included casino tables, some more grub and tons of collector items up for bid. One of note: a baseball signed by famous Oriole manager Earl Weaver with one $50 bid — next to the name Tim Hudson. Hudson and Glavine were joined at the event by fellow Atlanta Braves Jeff Francouer, Brian McCann and John Smoltz. Smoltz was even called out during the live auction for tinkering with — and possibly breaking — a pyramid display of signed baseballs, including one used in Glavine’s 300th career win. Glavine posed for photos with fans and played others in a game of pool, which took place within 10 yards of the circling Beluga whales. This was the 16th annual event for Glavine.
