Craig Sumsky, owner of Philadelphia’s Cutting Edge Entertainment, isn’t surprised that his former employee, Brianna Taylor is part of MTV’s new season of “The Real World XX,” set in Hollywood, which debuts next week.

“Brianna was a very good singer, very talented, and very outgoing,” said Sumsky of Taylor who worked for Cutting Edge as a “party motivator” for two years while she was in high school.

Taylor stopped working for Cutting Edge two years ago, and Sumsky said he learned that she became an exotic dancer from Dan Gross’ column yesterday.

Taylor joins another Cutting Edge alum, Justin Guarini, of “American Idol.”

Sumsky still keeps in touch with Guarini and they get together when he returns to the area.

Sumsky said he’ll try to catch Taylor on MTV, but he doesn’t watch much television.
