Real World: Brooklyn airs Wednesdays at 10pm, but you don’t have to wait ’til then to check out the raw footage. Every day, I’ll be sifting through the ‘Real World Dailies‘ to make sure you’re getting your fill of the BK roomies. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)

At this point, it's probably safe to say that Ryan shouldn't have sang The Tampon Song on his big audition.  But now that we've heard Chet's musical stylings, we TOTALLY get why the Mormon steered him astray. Watch as Chet takes to the guitar to sing about everything from naked hobos to Katelynn's sex life, then peep The Tampon Song in its glorious entirety(!!!) after the jump.

Quest Crew came out of the gates swinging last night, ending their routine with a 'Shablam!' And while the judges seemed to really dig the hard landing, Ryan Conferido's knee didn't seem to have the same opinion.

Maybe you didn't catch it, but when the crews finished off the night dancing in the round (per the usual), Ryan had a huge bandage packed with ice wrapped around his injured joint. (See 'zombie' pic below.)

Well, fear not, Questaholics! The knee is recovering well and Ryan's back to shablamin' it up at rehearsals.

• Heads up! Aretha Franklin's attention-grabbing inauguration hat is about to be inducted into the Smithsonian. (Perez Hilton)

• E! correspondent Debbie Matenopoulos takes swearing off marriage, trashing your soon-to-be-ex-husband and hilarious suicide *jokes* to a whole new level. (Usmagazine.com)

• Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus is all for women's rights and whatever, but sez shopping for V-Day presents is the man's job. Take that, maybe-boyfriend Justin Gaston! (E! Online)

• Celebrity plastic-surgery-gone-wrong stories are always (repeat, ALWAYS) amusing. But this one actually SHOWS you how Carrot Top made the leap from weird-looking to practically deformed. (Scandalist)

• Top Chef's Jeff McInnis says the show used him "as a sex object." We agree, although -- like Jeff -- we sorta wish they hadn't. (TV Watch)

There was no holding back Shane Sparks Thursday night when he told Dynamic Edition that a) he didn't see anything 'sexy' on the stage, and b) the girls reminded him of the Wayans Brothers in the movie White Chicks. (Oh snap!)

Our Southern Belles didn't take the comments personally -- they even laughed it off backstage. But that doesn't mean they're not extremely serious about staying in this competition. Check it:

Nothing gets prices droppin' like a good, ole-fashioned recession. And while it's tempting to hoard all your cash under the mattress, we've got a totes funner idea: help restimulate the economy (and your soul) by getting in on some retail therapy!

Kick off an online spree by grabbing some garb from the Lauren Conrad Collection, where tons of dresses, tops and leggings are 50-70% off! Feel free to go crazy -- just make sure you hold onto enough $$ to pay the rent. And, of course, the cable bill. (Thanks to NBC Phili for the tip!)

We've got three guys left -- Femi, Luke and Chris F. -- but only one spot in Brody's Hollywood entourage. And in order to decide who gets it, the Jenner jeans entrepreneur is introducing the boys to his (Elvis-dating!) mom -- and heading to their hometowns to do some behind-the-scenes recon. So who's Brody gonna pick? Scan these scenes from next week's finale, then take our poll and tell us who deserves to get Bromantic!

Not long ago, Audrina Patridge checked out of Casa Conrad for a taste of something new. Now comes word that Lauren and Lo have followed suit. According to E! Online, the longtime friendzies have vacated their Hollywood Hills home and moved into a high-rise building in Westwood, L.A.

The reason? "[Lauren] wanted more security, and being in a building with a doorman will allow her that," a source explains.

Congrats, girls, looking forward to seeing pics of the new digs! Meanwhile, wonder what this move will mean for perennial couch-crasher (and former guesthouse occupant) Holly Montag ...

Despite an energetic performance last night, Team Millenia got kicked off for the second time in ABDC history. (Insert obligatory "Oops, they did it again" joke *here.*) But, that wasn't enough to completely kill our Britney buzz -- or change the fact that last night's Britastic episode of Dance Crew was one of the HOTTEST. WE'VE. EVER. SEEN.

So which crews totally nailed this week's Britney Spears Challenge? And which ones damn near drove you crazy? Take our poll and tell us who had the flyest routine. (And no, that wasn't our not-so-subtle way of plugging the Fly Khicks.)

We love a good reunion show. Which is why we're psyched to see what all the Double Shot castoffs (especially Josh and Rosemarie) have to say on next week's Happy Hour! 'Course, we're even more excited to see how everything goes down on the sure-to-shock season finale. Check out this sneak peek from next week's amazing "Double"-header, and start hitting us with your Ikkiest, stickiest finale predictions!

Tragedy struck the Detox set this morning, when our crappy tripod gave way and smashed the TelePromptor to the floor. Normally it wouldn't be such a huge deal to proceed sans Promptor (I never have that much to say in each take), but today was special cuz we had viral video sensation Britney Houston in to reprise her role as Lil Mama with a long-ass monologue. (You may have seen B's "Lip Gloss" parody back in the day.)

Luckily, Britney is a total professional and had her lines down pat. She didn't even need our cheap-o last-minute cue cards. Thanks again for stopping by, Brit!

Dawn Richard of Danity Kane and Making the Band fame graced us with her glorious presence, too. And of all the artists who have stopped by Chez Detox to date, Dawn might be our favorite. Sorry, Nolan Gerard Funk.

I was also super excited to wear my "Ham On Wry" t-shirt, a phrase used by the webmaster at BloggingBestDanceCrew.com last week to describe our zany show. Love it!

So go ahead and sink your teeth into tonight's Dance Crew Detox. It's waiting for you below!
