Aussie Big Brother starlet gets Speed
Australian Big Brother star Krystal Forscutt lands Need for Speed ProStreet gig; one of only two women to feature in game.
While many contestants from the Australian version of the reality TV show Big Brother have sunk into obscurity, recent show evictee Krystal Forscutt has managed to keep herself in the public eye thanks to her growing stature as a men's magazine diva. Now Forscutt can add the games domain to her expanding resume, with the announcement that she will be one of the featured "flag girls" on EA's next Need for Speed racer.
Forscutt will join Japanese model Sayoko Ohashi as one of only two featured women in Need for Speed ProStreet, which is due to hit shelves in the US and Australia in the third quarter of 2007. Forscutt will be seen in the game as a flag girl who gets races started. She will also be featured in crowd shots, interacting with racers, and performing dance routines.
According to an EA Australia spokesperson, Forscutt will be the first Australian nonsports person to be featured in an EA game. Local EA reps put the starlet forward as a Need for Speed ProStreet model after she made several promotional appearances in Australia for NFS Carbon in 2006. Forscutt has already visited EA Canada Studios in Vancouver for character rendering.
Forscutt follows in the footsteps of other high-profile models featured in the Need for Speed series. Previous models have included Brooke Burke and Kelly Brook for NFS Underground 2, Josie Maran for NFS Most Wanted, and Emmanuelle Vaugier for NFS Carbon.
