Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus is certainly eager to move on from doing tween sitcoms. While promoting her movie Bolt, which hits theaters today, the 15-year-old singer-actress told E! News that she'd like to try her hand at reality television, specifically MTV's The Real World, the show that features seven diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships.
"I would want to be on a reality show like The Real World because I think that's crazy," Miley Cyrus told E! News. "Anyone who would do that has some serious guts."

The first round of MTV's The Real World online casting contest for season 22 is about to come to a close in a couple of days, specifically at 9pm ET/PT on Tuesday, November 11. The initial leg, which is called The Meet and Greet, gives hopefuls the chance to introduce themselves to the community while stating why they should be considered as a good fit for the show. Consequently, the top 50 percent will be moving to the next round, called Narrowing it Down, which kicks off on November 12 and will last until 9pm ET/PT Sunday, November 23. At this point, hopefuls are required to ask more questions to find out what sets them apart from the rest of the other applicants. You can read more about this in this previous article.
Read on to find out what's in store for the next round.

As BuddyTV reported late last week, The Real World is in full swing filming their upcoming 21st season in Brooklyn. The show has also begun casting for it’s 22nd season, with a location yet to be announced. MTV has been heading around the country, hosting open casting calls, looking for 7 new strangers to live in a house and have their lives filmed. Casting directors for the show have said that they’re looking for people who possess some of the following attributes: leadership experience, musical ability, seasoned travelers who speak Spanish, life saving skills (such as a lifeguard or ETM), and athleticism. Recently, MTV casting director Damon Furberg spoke to RealityWanted, a reality casting website, about what the network is looking for and how the average person can turn into the next reality star.

Season 21 of The Real World is currently filming in Brooklyn, NY. Though MTV has not officially released the cast list, the information has already been leaked onto the internet. The upcoming cast will reportedly include: a former pageant girl looking to become a singer, a dolphin trainer who once dated Anderson Cooper, a Mormon virgin who his housemates are looking to help become a man when they head out to the bars. It has been said that the Red Hook district of Brooklyn, where this season is being filmed, has not welcomed the show so the cast has instead been socializing and partying in Manhattan. Taking a page from Tyra Banks and America's Next Top Model, this season will also include The Real World's first transgendered contestant.

Last week on Real World/Road Rules, The Island, we saw how Abe desperately wanted to get voted off because of a phone call that told him his business was in grave danger. Dave on the other hand, whined more about going home because he missed some important people in his life. We guess that his story was more believable than Abe’s, so he was sent home, but he clearly asked the producers to give him a call if they were still interested in casting him for another season.
Recently, Dave blogged about his departure, spilling some thoughts on the challenges, his castmates and his experience on the island.

The 16th season of Real World / Road Rules Challenge premieres tonight 10pm on MTV. According to teasers, the contestants, 20 Real Worlders and Road Rulers are dropped off into shark-infested waters in Panama, the southernmost country of Central America that connects North and South America.
The Real World / Road Rules Challenge cast members will face off in Cocas del Toro, yet in an unexpected turn of events, MTV is promising that this season will be different - no free-flowing alcohol at will, no cushy house, and no challenges “that call for sneaky alliances,” which, on all accounts, have been quite the main attraction / turnoff (whichever way you look at it) of The Real World / Road Rules Challenge. Looks like things might turn into something akin to a booze-laden edition of Survivor.
