All About

The Surreal Life

Shantae Harris (a.k.a. Da Brat)

AGE 30

WHO? Notorious hip-hop artist

CAREER HIGH POINT Went platinum with 1994's Funkdafied

FUN (?) FACT Appeared as a backup dancer alongside Mariah Carey in the 2001 box office flop Glitter

'SURREAL' MOMENTS Wants to move out of the house when she sees she's living with a former Brady. Moves on-again/off-again Go-Go Wiedlin to tears. Moves to the couch because former wrestler Laurer ''was snoring so damn loud you woulda thought Chewbacca from Star Wars was in our room.''

'SURREAL' QUOTE ''I told my manager I didn't want to be in the house with any has-been people.''

ADRIANNE SAYS ''Brat's from my town [Joliet, Ill.], so we felt a little J-town connection from the beginning. It's not the nicest of towns. I'm glad I wasn't in her firing scope, if you know what I'm saying.''
