THE REAL WORLD 20,
With The Kids Living In CBS'
Old Hollywood Headquarters,
Launches On MTV Tonight!!

I am – Hercules!!

A few notes on the 20th edition of “The Real World,” which launches on MTV tonight:

* Just as “Real World 10” was the second edition based in New York, “Real World 20” is the second edition based in Greater Los Angeles.

* While the second season (with the fat country singer and the pissed-off Irish journalist and the “comedian” who got evicted for trying to see Tami naked) was housed in the beach district of Venice, this time around the cast made its home on the stage on which the “I Love Lucy” TV pilot was shot.

* The “house” is actually located on the site of the former CBS Columbia Square building north of Sunset and Gower, which housed CBS’ national and local TV and radio operations between 1938 and 2007. (These operations – including KCBS-TV and KCAL-TV – were recently relocated to a huge new building here in Studio City – a building erected on the site of CBS’s long-demolished first “Big Brother” house.)

* For the first time since maybe season four (I think), the cast was not forced to work together.

* All cast members are pursuing careers in showbiz.

* For the first time a member of the “Real World” cast was chosen by fans. GREG HALSTEAD, a 20-year-old prankster and aspiring model, garnered nearly three million online votes.

* Greg’s castmates include:

BRIANNA TAYLOR, 20, aspiring singer From Philly. (A former exotic dancer, she was rejected for the fifth season of “American Idol.”)

SARAH RALSTON, 21, aspiring broadcast journalist from Phoenix

DAVE MALINOSKY, 22, aspiring actor from Pennsylvania.

WILL GILBERT, 23, aspiring music producer from Detroit.

KIMBERLY ALEXANDER, 24, aspiring “entertainment show” host from South Carolina.

JOEY KOVAR, 24, aspiring actor From Chicago.

Learn what they all look like here.

Spoilers lurk in the text invisible. Greg and Joey don’t stick around for the full season. They are replaced by two more models, BRITTINI SHERROD and NICK BROWN.

10 p.m. Wednesday. MTV.
