Busted reportedly in talks for MTV reality show

Busted are reportedly in talks to appear in a global MTV reality show, modelled on the one that revived Ozzy Osbourne's career, to help them break America.

Word is Busted hope to break America by using the same model that revitalised the career of Ozzy Osbourne - an MTV reality show. Reports say the band are in talks to appear on a new reality programme which MTV will screen globally, helping to break the band in new territories.

A 'band insider' told the Sun: "The show could make them global stars. The boys are massive in the UK, Europe and Japan and this could widen the net to America. They are young, fun and up for it - all the ingredients that will make the show great viewing. Ozzy Osbourne might have the upper hand when it comes to swearing but Busted have a huge female following who will be glued to the screen. roducers like that the boys have really different personalities which will come across on the show".

If successful in increasing the Busted boys' profile in the US, presumably the band's record label would be keen to have McFly and V calling round for tea on a regular basis.
