On tonight’s premiere of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, three contestants stood their ground by keeping their coifs in tact. Why, you ask, would Bryan be so touchy about getting a buzz cut that’s bound to grow back in mere minutes? Only he can tell you that…

Hey guys, it’s Bryan Gallagher from the Paris BFF show. A lot of people wonder why I decided not to get my head shaved for Paris. First off, I’m extremely anal about my hair. I know there’s not a lot to it, but whatever… I’d look ugly bald. And I don’t think you need to shave your head or do something extremely drastic to be someone’s friend. Honestly, do you think I would have looked better bald? Ummmm…… NO! Some other people’s makeovers weren’t as extreme as mine, which I thought was a little unfair. Shaving my head is a big deal compared to other people just having to put a few highlights and a few layers in their hair, don’t you think?

Being the only REAL guy in the house was a little frustrating at times. Don’t get me wrong, not all of the girls were annoying as all hell. But there definitely was at least half of the house who would never shut up about ANYTHING… and would complain about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING that they could. Certain people in the house are huge celebrities in their own minds, which probably made them feel that they were the sh*t, causing their diva attitudes. As for the other “guy” in the house… what can I say about Onch? He’s f’n hilarious.

When your last name is Hilton, you can’t exactly have your BFFs-to-be living out of their cars, or (worse) taking up residence in The Valley. So in preparation for her new show, Paris has done what any drama-loving heiress would do: provided her wannabe-friends with predictably state-of-the-art accommodations (think a Playboy Mansion-style pool, regulation-size tennis courts, a retractable red carpet and an appropriately awe-inspiring, pink-accented foyer).

Don’t worry though, the princesses (and princes) in training aren’t getting too pampered. In true reality show fashion, they’re still gonna be packed in tighter than a can of sardines because, let’s face it, claustrophobic quarters are enough to drive sane people crazy. And from what we’ve seen in the casting special, these folks are already a few cards short of a full deck.

So check out these pics of the official BFF stomping grounds and tune into tonight at 10pm for the series premiere of Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. Then start laying down bets on which best-friend-to-be will be the first to strip off his (or her) clothes, streak around the tennis courts and dive headfirst into the shallow end of the cave-pool.

Long rehearsals got the best of S1’s Shay Dot this morning — here he is dozing while two of the Jazmin sisters pose for the shot.

With the Top Pop competition coming to an early close, all of the groups are completely immersed in perfecting their performances for Thursday night. Talita of Las Caprice put it this way, “We haven’t gotten a lot of sleep, but we just keep going. The clock is counting down and we want to show it all. We’re in it to win it!”

So, who do YOU think will win it all, including bragging rights?

Was it just me, or was everyone on last night’s Hills in full-on PMS mode? Between the Doug-Stephanie-Lauren love triangle and the Spencer/MILF Montag showdown, it was like a big ball of “Holy, inappropriate!” exploded onto the set. So whose behavior was the most out of control? You tell us!

Singer/songwriter Keri Hilson stopped by the Top Pop studios yesterday to share her expertise and incredible vocal talent with the remaining groups in the competition. “Her voice is so amazing, and she’s totally got a sick ear!” Jazmin’s Daria Kong said about Keri.

Hilson, who is finishing up her debut solo album with Timbaland, took extra time with each group to offer the up-and-comers some real world advice about making it big…

Last night, Spencer wooed Mama Montag by telling her that he really digs having Holly around the house.  Except replace the word “wooed” with “annoyed” and the phrase “digs having Holly around the house” with “totally wants Holly gone.” And next week, Montag-Pratt relations appear to be at an all-time low.

Remember when we hinted at a possible Lauren-Heidi reconciliation? Well, looks as though Holly’s using her sisterly wiles to push Heidi in that direction. Naturally, Spencer (who’s inherently against all things LC) won’t go down without a fight, which means he’s taken to shushing — and Heidi’s back to her (unofficial) role as household referee. Will it ever end?

And while Lauren and Whitney are off overanalyzing Heidi’s motives, Audrina’s out asserting her independence — and (gulp!) discovering there’s a big ol’ world outside of Justin Bobby.

So check out these scenes from next week’s Hills and then riddle me this: If everyone’s so concerned about what’s best for Heidi, why don’t they stop fighting long enough to ask her what she wants?

Fatman Scoop and his wife, Shanda’s new sex-info show, Man and Wife, debuted last night — and they couldn’t have asked for a better morning after. The New York Post gave them a full page shout-out in today’s paper, and gives them major props for tackling all the tough issues (STD’s, AIDS, sexual abuse) in addition to settling sex squabbles — and dishing out the bediquette.

So how did this down-to-earth pair end up with a show where they get paid to talk about gettin’ it on, dress exclusively in pj’s and work “[f]rom the comfort of their comforter?” The NYP has the “scoop” (no pun intended):
