Lauren Conrad may be taking some time away from her clothing line, but she's got plenty of other post-Hills plans in the works.

"I’ve already started on my second book in the L.A Candy series and will be busy promoting the first one," she told FoxNews.com's Pop Tarts. "And I kinda want to work in production so stay tuned."

Production? Yep, you heard that right. The next time you see LC, she might actually be behind the camera!

"If [Lauren] does decide to go back into [the TV] industry, she most likely would like to take it to a different level and possibly produce a show," sez Conrad's rep.

Hey, maybe Lauren's old pal (and soon-to-be-spinoff-star!) Audrina Patridge can put in a good word for her with super-producer Mark Burnett!

Sure, all the Real World opening credits begin the same way. But it's not all about glamor shots of the casties, fast-moving establishing shots and classic-but-cliched voice-overs. Turns out, the 25-second Brooklyn intro is thoughtful, nuanced and full of carefully layered audio and wink-wink moments between the cast and crew.

Get clued in by checking out the producers' blog and find out everything you never knew about the BK opening credits. Then channel your inner filmmakers (a la Ryan) and mashup your own vershe of the intro sequence! (Oh, and did we mention the best mashup entries will be featured on MTV.com?? Hey-o!)

Although we're (admittedly) biased, we love what we've seen from Whitney Port's flirty/floral fashion line, Whitney Eve. But apparently, not all the critics agree. Case in point, the New York Daily News is arguing that Whit's flowery pleated-front shorts are both overpriced (they're going for $245) and uncannily similar to a pair of silk bubble-shorts from the Olsen twins' Elizabeth and James line (priced at $200).

+ Think they're stretching for a story? Or is Whit selling her customers short? Check out the pix at the NYDN web site and let us know if you'd be caught in Whit's clothes.

Oh, Chet. What a long, wild ride it's been! Before you arrived in Brooklyn, you'd never been to a gay club, threatened to swipe your transgendered friend's "dilator," heard a song about tampons, brought home your life-size cardboard cutout, starred in a sort-of crappy amateur film or fretted (for what seemed like hours) over what to wear to meet Pete Wentz.

And now, with the Real World: Brooklyn season drawing to a close, we've got another all-time first: Chet finally saw some boobies!

Thanks, Devyn, for your invaluable contribution to the Chet's sexual revolution. Between you and that fiery-haired soccer mom who rubbed him down at the Borgata, we're thinking this slightly-sheltered Mormon easily had the Best Week Ever!

Not counting the time he TOTES cleaned up at Banana Republic's three-for-one pink scarf sale ...

Last Thursday was a super fun time at the MTV office, as the entire Real World: Brooklyn cast dropped by the studio to shoot their reunion show. And while the group shared lots of laughs/middle fingers with one another during the taping, the real event went down after they clocked out and hit the town.

A loooong night out of bar crawling and catching up led to some pretty hefty hangovers the following morning, and unfortch for them, Baya, Scott and JD were scheduled to pop back into the office at 11am for an After World shoot.

Watch our determined Real World friends suffer through a screening of Episode 12 and please be patient as JD takes a puke break mid show. Also, pay particular attention to DJ Baya's cute  ensemble ... She woke up in it!

++The Real World: Brooklyn Reunion Special airs next Wednesday night. Make sure to check it out!

Hey, 'member during Episode 10 when Scott selflessly loaned Katelynn $1500 bucks so she could pay her bills and stay in Brooklyn? And remember tonight when she used it to play blackjack in Atlantic City? Doh!

While Scott took the high road and didn't hold a grudge, some of the other Real World roommates thought Katelynn was way outta line for being careless with the cash.

What do you think? Did Katelynn take advantage of Scott's generosity or was it well within her right to spend the money however she wanted? Take the poll!

This week on the Real World: Boobs!

But first, we saw the gang cope with the unfortunate news that Ryan's been recalled to Iraq. (We wish you the best, buddy!) So in order to get his mind off the potential danger and destruction he'll face during wartime, the roomies decided to take Ryan to Atlantic City where he can face good ole Made-in-America danger and and destruction!

Chet, being the good Mormon that he is, spent time at the craps table gambling before he stripped a naked woman of her bed covers. And even though the episode was pretty heavy, my heart burst when I scoped the PUPPY MONTAGE! Best Real World EVER! I can't wait till next week when they finally introduce the Puppy Confessional.

That's it for this week's Detox but be sure to tune in on Thursday when I talk about Making The Band and my new favorite MTV show, Taking the Stage!

Baya's been quiet as a mouse on this season of Real World. In fact, that giant white rat JD bought/returned from the pet store TOTALLY got more face time than our tiny little dancer friend. Fortch, that all changed this week, when the lovely, thoughtful and surprisingly funny Miss B got a chance to show us what she's really made of.

You know that little trip the guys took to Atlantic City? Not only was it all Baya's idea, but girl even called in a few favors to make sure the gang got the royal treatment. Uh, party bus? Spa treatments? Amazing super-suite? Hellz frickin' yeah! (Related side note: Sorry that boring-but-romantic trip to Niagara Falls didn't work out, JD! It sounded super-duper neat!)

Oh, and when she wasn't busy saving the Real World-ers from a snooze-cruise to Canada, Baya was breaking out the awesome one-liners (i.e. "I'm broke. I lost everything -- my kidney, my first-born child...") But here's our vote for the best interaction of the night:

Katelynn: First off, the dog is a boy, so the fact that he has like, this tiara necklace thing [trails off] ...
Baya: What about gender identity? Why does he have to conform, Katelynn? (ZING!)

Baya? Let us be the first to (finally) welcome you to the show! (Hey, better late than never, right?)

Don't you worry about All In -- he's been keeping in touch with Bentley since From G's to Gents wrapped, and apparently the People's Champ has become quite the role model for kids in his neighborhood. Holla! Still, Fonzworth wants to make sure Mister Big Shot doesn't lose sight of his own goals while he's spreading the message. Listen to the Gentleman's Club prez explain how All In can achieve his goals...

With all this talk about Audrina's new reality spinoff, we almost forgot she's headed for the big screen! Take a sneak peek at the trailer for her upcoming horror flick, Sorority Row, and watch as a would-be prank ends up costing the Hills' star her (fictional) life. [Insert joke about how 'Drina's lifeless corpse has more lines than her Hills counterpart *here*].

+ Bonus: Head over to our friendzies at MTV Movies Blog and hear what Audrina had to say about her on-camera brush with death!
