A Chicago- based reality series inspired by MTV’s smash docu-soap Jersey Shore<\/em> is currently in the works. The O’Connor Casting Company is looking for twentysomethings to star in a Jersey Shore-type reality show based on Chicago’s South Side. All you have to do to apply is e-mail three recent photos and “a brief description of your awesomeness.” <\/em><\/p>\n

“We’re looking for characters,”<\/em> says O’Connor Casting President David O’Connor, who has already received more than 500 applications from hopeful would-be reality stars. “People with heart. The ideal candidates will be South Siders, 19-27 years old, who are “sexy, crazy, and fun Sox fans.” <\/em><\/p>\n

While Jersey Shore<\/em> has infuriated civil rights groups with its perceived stereotypes of the Italian-American community, O’Connor hopes to do Chicago proud with the proposed new spinoff: “We’re hoping it’s not an embarrassment to Chicago,” he told FOX News this week.<\/p>\n

The hard-partying cast of the breakout hit has encouraged a movement of TV producers vying to bring the world of GTL (Gym, Tan, Laundry) to the small screen. Last month, the co-creators of Russian with Love began pitching a Jersey Shore<\/em>-style show focusing on the lives of young Russian-Americans in NYC’s Brighton Beach community. <\/p>\n
