We're halfway through Paris Hilton's grueling search for a new slave sidekick, but the heiress sure isn't making the game any easier for its remaining contestants. On tonight's episode, another two wannabes bit the dust -- hard, and to their own dismay. R.I.P. Nicole and Kaitlin! (And lovely Farrah Fawcett, as long as we're on the subject.)

Below, check out Kaitlin's update on life after taping the emotional roller-coaster ride known to y'all as Paris Hilton's My New BFF...

Well, my time was cut short, but what a wonderful/stressful/ exhausting/once-in-a-lifetime experience it was!

I think people have this idea of reality TV like it's all fun, games and parties. Although that's a big part of it, it's also very tedious and stressful.

At one point in the show, Stephen called me "a mess" -- and honestly, I was. It's hard to be enthusiastic and in the right state of mind when you're not sleeping enough, not eating well and can't talk to your friends or family from back home. Plus, taking heat from other cast members doesn't help. You should always take this into consideration when watching reality shows!

The best times I had during this entire experience were when the cameras were off! One of my favorite memories is making everyone breakfast (every day!), no matter what happened the night before. (I always wanted to make sure everyone got a hearty meal before we started the day.) They never show that!

As for my casting footage, I could blog all day about how it was edited, what they did to it to make it look and sound the way it did. But shame on me for my foolishness in that tape and giving producers/editors even more material to work with.

You barely ever get on reality TV for being some perfect, God-loving creature. I knew I would have to be controversial to get on the show. And hey, I guess it worked. I would still like to apologize to anyone who my words offended. It wasn't the way I wanted to go out, but it is what it is. I still don't agree with how and why I was eliminated.

After spending some quality time with Stephen, Paris declared him "one of the realest people here." And while we happen to LOVE his snarky comments ('Member when he called Katie's style "fun but slightly tragic?" Classic!) we're not entirely sure we agree.

C'mon, ever notice how he's all smiles -- and way less beyotchy -- whenever he's around Paris? Or how he TOTALLY backpedaled when Paris asked him to repeat his dis on Nicole? Yep, we're all for making a good impression -- but we think Stephen might be playing a little TOO nice. 'Course, we've been wrong before (okay, fine, a lot!) so take the poll and tell us whether dude's worthy of Paris' trust.

Although we find Kaitlin's Shirley Temple face to be annoyingly endearing, we're not surprised Paris finally gave her the boot. (Seriously, how many lies, cries and "it's-not-me-it's-them" meltdowns can one heiress take?!) But while we never really warmed to Nicole -- or, specifically, to her squeaky, high-pitched vocal cords -- we never saw her as a massive liability, either. Or, for that matter, a total "psycho."

Sure, the girl's a handful. (Reminder: she hates fat chicks, whines in solitary confinement and has a creepy princess fetish.) But is she full-out certifiable? Eh, probably not. At least, not any more than the other Paris-crazed potentials.

+ What do you think: Did Nicole take her Paris obsession too far? Or is she just as smitten as the rest of the BFFs? Take our poll and let us know whether Nicole's a dangerous fanatic -- or the best friend Paris will never have!

Shailene Woodley is no stranger to young motherhood -- even though she's never been pregnant. Amy, the character Woodley plays on ABC's The Secret Life of the American Teenager, is raising a baby while still in high school, and it's certainly been an education for the actress about the hardships of being a teen mom.

Before Shai (as her friends call her) stepped onto the set of It's On with Alexa Chung yesterday, we sat her down in the green room for a quick chat about how slipping into the role of an adolescent mother each day has affected her views on the topic of teen pregnancy. Take a look:

We've seen Holly Montag go girly for Speidi's wedding, au naturale (sans makeup, not sans clothes!) for Costa Rica and even a little Indiana Jones for photogs! But does girl have a rebellious streak at all? You'd better believe it. Lately, at event after event, Holly's been showing up rockin' metallic minis, black leather and smoky, don't-eff-with-me-eyes. And as much as we loved the soft, peach-colored gown she wore to The Hills: Season Four finale, we gotta admit she looks happiest when she's dressed LIKE A TOTAL ROCK STAR!

+ Like Holly better as a good girl, or are you all about her dark side? Peep these pix of the "secret" wild child (she IS a Montag, after all!) and tell us whether you think she's prettier in pastels -- or smokin' hot in shiny, black leather!

It's easy to avoid people in the winter. It's cold, and there's nothing like an ankle-length Eskimo coat to turn you practically invisible. But in the warm, relaxing summer breeze, holding onto a grudge becomes damn near impossible -- no matter how much you dislike someone. Need convincing? Peep this pic of frenemies-by-association Erin Lucas and Olivia Palermo beaming for the cameras at the East Hampton Tommy Hilfiger boutique. Now if only they could be that happy and carefree in The City ...

+ BONUS: And the smiling continues! Check out these pix of Olivia posing prettily next to her honey, Johannes Huebl, and model/actress Molly Sims. Looks like a little bit of sunshine DOES go a long way!

Fit's about to hit the shan, and it didn't exactly take long. Last week's premiere of Real World: Cancun may have been laced with rainbow sprinkles and cotton candy and all sorts of other yummy things that make kids smile, but come tomorrow night, the dark side's moving into the roommates' Me hotel suite. And hell hath no fury like a woman whose food's been spit on...

Catch a sneak peek of this season's first war of the worlds, in which punk rock Joey makes an Unhappy Meal out of tough girl Ayiiia's to-go taco.

It's not easy pulling off a daily, LIVE talk show. Aside from cramming down an hour's worth of new material while pop music blasts and producers pull their hair out, Alexa Chung's gotta sit still as a statue (post triple-shot of espresso) while professionals work to "make her look normal." Her words, not ours.

Watch this behind-the-scenes video of what it's like on the set of It's On with Alexa Chung with just one minute and thirty seconds till airtime...

BUT BTDoubleU: Through all the chaos and commotion, Alexa always manages to keep her cool (and wicked sense of humor). Watch her break into song after a successful hair and makeup sesh, straight after the jump!

Diggy's a superstar when it comes to stylin'. But last night, Russy blew everyone away by bringing on da noise (and da funk!) at tap class. So how'd he make his heels go clickety-clack so fast after only one lesson? Duh, it's called natural talent! (But don't worry -- we hear Red Bull helps, too.) Either way, dude's got skillz.

Russy? If that juggling (or magician or surfing or skateboarding) thing doesn't work out, you may have found your true calling! Now all ya need is a kitchen countertop big enough to hold your entourage ...

Good news: Since the taping of Run's House: Episode 4, Diggy's blog has grown from 250 followers to 1,133! And we're thinking he's about to get even more online readers after everyone sees tonight's show.

Aside from lotsa fashion, music and design shout outs, you'll be pleased to hear that the self-proclaimed jet-setter's got some super deep thoughts -- among Dig's many musings is a thoughtful entry about Michael Jackson's unexpected death. (Guess The Rev's inspired sermons have rubbed off on the kid!) So g'ahead, check out digslifeofthejetsetter.blogspot.com ... the softer side of Diggy Simmons awaits.
