Whether you like it or not, MTV’s The Real World is rolling on. The mother of all reality shows turns 21 with its upcoming season, currently filming in New York. The people at newyorkology.com caught a glimpse of the new cast members leaving their home at the Pier 41 building in the Red Hook district of Brooklyn. According to the Michael Martin Agency, who reps many cast members after their stint on television is over, there looks to be 8 cast members instead of the usual 7. The cast appears to be mostly white and Martin thinks he even spotted a gay cast member in the crowd, which would be nice since Hollywood didn’t feature any gay cast members. That still didn’t stop the girls from making out with each other, though!

After a very explosive season including the customary lying, cheating, fake tears, coed car brawls and so much more, perhaps it's time to check what The Real World Hollywood guys and girls have been up to.
According to MTV, Will is back in Los Angeles and is starting his music career. According to him, The Real World failed to portray him as a DJ. So far, he'd been doing the rounds in North America to pick up deals and even sell tracks and produce. He said he and Janelle broke up six hours after production wrapped up. He then dated several Real World girls and came to the conclusion that the show and the network breed “pretentious divas” who are only after exposure. As for his thoughts on his Real World experience, the best thing about it was it allowed him to be a leader.

Kevin Powell may have thrown down with Julie Oliver on the very first season of The Real World over racial and social issues, but that’s a scene at least one of them would like everyone to forget. Since appearing on MTV’s reality show 16 years ago, Powell has gone from pseudo-celeb to hopeful politician. He is currently running for running for Congress in Brooklyn, New York’s 10th district. "A lot of folks know me from The Real World, but this is something I'm very passionate about," he told ABCNews.com. "My life's calling is public service. Civic engagement should be a part of our values as much as MTV and Xbox."

I don't know how I feel about these live shows on MTV during the weekend. For starters, who is around at 2pm on a Saturday to watch The Real World reunion? Secondly, do you really want to put eight loose cannons live on national television? If you were expecting something explosive or dramatic, you didn't get it on today's live reunion. In fact, the best part of the show came when Janelle surprised Will to confront him about his sexual adventures and fake tears. The worst part, by far, was host Lindsay Rodriguez, who not only couldn't keep the cast members' names straight but I'm not even sure she watched the show this season.

On tonight's episode of The Real World: Hollywood, the roomies find out that they're going to Mexico for a little vacation. Almost nothing good can happen when you combine alcohol and the Hollywood house. Things got started on a booze cruise where, while trying to show off his moves on a stripper pole, Dave knocked a man over who was dancing on a box. Immediately after, Will and Briitni decided to do body shots off of each other and the two ended up kissing. Things ended with a blowout between Brianna and Sarah, after she made a comment about the warrant out for Bri's arrest.

As The Real World: Hollywood wraps up the season, MTV will be cooking up a drama-packed marathon that will lead to the suspenseful finale of the 20th season of the network's popular reality series on Wednesday, July 9.
Adding some edgy commentaries to The Real World marathon, which begins on Friday, July 4 from 11am to 6pm ET/PT, is none other than Coral Smith, who is known for her stint on The Real World: Back to New York and for her appearances on various spin-off shows like Real World/Road Rules Challenge and The Gauntlet III.

On tonight's episode of The Real World, Brianna finds out that she's going to get to record some backup vocals for Alex Band, of The Calling. The entire time, though, she second guesses herself and talks after every take. Nick wastes no time jumping into the Hollywood lifestyle, partying and bringing home a groupie from the bar. When he stays up all night giggling with her, it really rubs the other roomies the wrong way, particularly Sarah and Kimberly. When Sarah tells Charna at work, Nick is angry, feeling that he's been thrown under the bus. He approaches Sarah and asks her to talk to him to his face, which just results in an argument.
