Premium Rush, Davin Koepp's action packed summer blockbuster in which Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a bad ass bike messenger, hits theaters this weekend. But nevermind that guy that everyone's already been talking about, because also in the cast is the gorgeous Jamie Chung. We first fell in love with Chung back in 2004, and it wasn't in a film role. No, our former cover girl first graced our televisions as a cast member on the 14th season (San Diego) of MTV's The Real World.
So, if you will, allow us to tell you a story. It's the true story of 10 sexy women who were picked to live in a house, have their lives taped, and who found out what happens when people stop being reality stars, and start being actresses.
