Stephanie Pratt may have her reservations about Kristin Cavallari, but she's "excited" about the prospect of partying it up with Lauren Conrad's replacement. Spencer's sis recently sat down with PopEater.com to explain why she's equal parts thrilled/terrified at the prospect of hangin' with K. Cav. Here's what she had to say:

"I just met [Kristin]. She was really, really nice and she was the kind of person that if I see out, I'd say hi to her because I feel like I know her because she's known Lauren and Heidi forever ... but I just read [how] she's not coming to make friendships, so I think we're all a little scared. We're excited because Lauren wasn't going out that much at the end, so Kristin's all ready to party."

And while Steph's got a reputation on The Hills for being a bit of a pot-stirrer (bringing Heidi to Lauren's surprise party? Seriously??), she says she's not looking to start any trouble with the newest Hillzie.

"I've had such good luck with making friendships with these girls, so I'm optimistic I can make a good relationship with Kristin."

Some people change boyfriends as often as they change clothes. Others are just waiting to settle down with the right guy. And while The City's Erin Lucas defies characterization (she loves being in love but hates being tied down), she's managed to find herself a boyfriend who's neither a) Canadian, nor b) her Michael Phelpsian high school ex!

So who's Mr. Right (Now)? According to the New York Observer, that would be Patrick Cabido, a manager at NYC's Gold Bar (it's so trendy you saw it on Gossip Girl!) and Hamptons hot spot Surf Lodge.

No word yet on how long the two have been dating (she only started Twittering about him this week!), but one couples pic we dug up dates back to earlier this month. And from what little we know about Patrick, we like him already! (Among the plusses? Dude earns his own money, has great taste in women and is only a domestic call/cab ride away!)

Watch out, Erin! If things work out with Patrick, you may have to rethink that whole dating-three-guys-at-once plan!

Watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenges is like eating potato chips — once you start, you can’t stop. And since Wednesdays (at 10pm) always seem so far away, we’ll be sifting through the Challenge Dailies every weekday afternoon to give you your daily dose of The Duel 2. You’re welcome.

Diem and CT's on-again, off-again relationship is one of life's great mysteries (much like Airborne, Twitter and the appeal of Robert Pattinson's fugly, Edward Scissorhands haircut). And while we'll never fully understand how or why those two got together, Diem's booze-fueled hot tub soliloquy has helped to mitigate our disbelief. Watch as the preternaturally sweet girl-next-door goes on a drunken (solo) rant about her competition and gives us a glimpse of her wild sloppy, delusional side. Sing it, sistah!

You already know the story: back in March, rapper Clifford J. Harris Jr. (a.k.a. T.I.) was sentenced to 366 days in prison for attempting to buy illegal firearms. And as of this afternoon, he's officially behind bars.

According to MTV News, T.I. pulled up to the the Forrest City Federal Correctional Complex in a tinted van sometime after 12pm and walked through a sea of well-wishers and a reporters to gain entry into the prison. T.I., who is expected to serve a minimum of ten months in jail, spent his last days of freedom with his family and played a going-away show Sunday night in Atlanta.

Heidi Montag's never felt shy about showing off her bikini bod. (See: her new music video, "Blackout.") And now the Hills star has found an ingenious way to combine her love of fashion with her less-is-more philosophy on beachwear: she's designing her own line!

"I love bathing suits," Heidi explains on E! Online. "I feel like I wear them more than anyone, so it makes sense for me."

Totally. And since Heids is way serious about swimwear, she's teamed up with designer Ashley Paige (who dressed Heidi in that stripey one-piece above for her Miami show in 2007!). Plus, she's promised to debut the new line -- which fits "every size, all body types" -- on I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here.

"That’s the only bathing suits I will be wearing [in Costa Rica]," Heidi vowed. "I’ll be living in them. That’s all I’ll be wearing."

Well, aside from that honkin' rock Spencer just handed to her.

Fearless, well-coiffed and immaculately tailored, Olivia Palermo is a force to be reckoned with on the red carpet. But lately, she's not the only one who has the photographers' attention. So who's stealing Liv's fashion thunder? That would be her stylish boyfriend Johannes Huebl, whose shiny wingtips, custom-made Parisian suits and fitted leather jacket make him the perfect plus-one.

Congrats on finding a boy who knows how to dress, Olivia! First step: couples retail therapy. Next step: getting him to share your/our fascination with chick flicks, fro-yo and Patti Stanger ...

If you recall, MTV's last season of Real World was chock full of lotsa heavy plotlines: Ryan got called back to war, Sarah got phone-stalked by her estranged father, Katelynn revealed that she was born with boy parts... The show definitely didn't follow its usual booze/threesomes/blackouts formula, and many of you were totally down with the change. "Refreshing" was one of the words used to describe the Brooklyn season.

Still, some of you really longed for times past (e.g. Hollywood and Denver), with all the hootin, hollerin' and meaningless hookups -- and for those of you who fall into this category, rest assured that Real World: Cancun (premieres June 24 at 10pm) promises a return to the good ole days of STD scares and peeing in public. Yay for you!

So. We wanna know just how many of you are psyched to see the Real Worlders back in their thong bikinis/birthday suits, and how many will miss the more subdued vibes of the Brooklyn house? Take the poll and tell us whether you prefer your weekly dose of the Real World served with or without the nekkid keg stands.
