In case you didn't know (or knew, but in your extreme over-excitement, totes forgot), Lauren Conrad's new novel, L.A. Candy, came out last week. And the book hadn't been in stores more than 24 hours before we'd downloaded it to our Kindle, read it from start to finish (what? sleep is sooo overrated!) and heaved a satisfied sigh as we turned the last pages in what we're convinced is The. Best. Reality-Inspired. Fiction. EVER.

Okay, okay, so we're slightly biased (being obsessed with Everything LC Does and all), but we totally, legitimately LOVED it. And, natch, we wanna hear how you guys felt about poor, sweet Jane and her gorgeous, smart-assy roomie/hot, commitment-phobic love interest/blonde, publicity-starved nemesis!

So take our poll and tell us whether you hearted/hated it, then sound off about anything/everything in the comments. (P.S. Anyone else love the beyond byotchy boss who turns into a total sweetheart/glamorpuss in front of the cameras?)

Some girls see being single as a curse. Others see it as the best way to spend your 20s.

Not surprisingly, The City's Erin Lucas loves to play the field. But how does her friend/costar Whitney Port feel about being unattached? Well, after breaking up with Jay Lyon at the end of Season One, she's been doing some minglin' of her own!

"[I]t's just fun to meet a lot of people, to date around, to figure out what you really want and what really works for you," Whitney told Usmagazine.com yesterday. Her advice to other singles? "Try not to over-analyze things" and "be open [to] all different types."

As for rumors that she and Jay are still dating (or are even friends), Whitney confessed that it's not always easy to stay super close post-split.

Kristin Cavallari may not always play nice with her costars, but she was all smiles when approached by a pint-sized Laguna lover during an afternoon of retail therapy. Peep these pix of the soon-to-be Hills star hugging it out with her biggest (smallest??) fan, then tell us whether you think we're seeing the softer, gentler side of K-Cav -- or just the calm before the storm ...

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

Last night, it looked as though CJ and Emilee were hitting it off. But today's a different story. Watch sparks fly between the (uncontested?) house heartthrob and the feisty brunette while Derek and Bronne try to get a piece of the action ...

Sexual tension was brewing the minute Real World: Cancun's eight cast members met each other. And now that CJ's single (and completely unphased by his breakup), we're thinking Joey might not be the only guy in the house who tries to score with a girl every week. Our question: Which roomies are headed on a collision course to some coed naked crib chillin'?

So far the most motivated (in dirty speak that's "horny") of the male crew seem to be CJ and Joey, and we all know they're both angling to hand Jonna a scarlet letter. So who, if either of them, can complete the job? Take the poll!

Just one episode in, and we already know some crucial things about the Real World: Cancun roommates:

Joey's not boyfriend material. Or even someone who calls the next day. But give the guy a gold star for vowing not to get AIDS!

Emilee didn't get a perfect score on her SATs.

Bronne digs "mature" women. He's an equal opportunity tongue kisser.

If she has a promise ring permanently implanted in her finger, then you just know Jonna's got a piercing (ahem) south of the border.

CJ is soooooo psyched he's now single. (Dude, you called that love?)

Ayiiia and Jasmine are gonna get scrappy. Just you wait. As Jas said, "I've got Napoleon Complex Syndrome."

Derek won't get much camera time. Even-keeled is not a positive trait in terms of co-starring on the Real World.

(And just an aside: Hooters is apparently the place to build a career in times of recession.)

It's a little too early to tell which roommates will walk away from this experience as close friends, but we wanna hear from you: Who of these eight cast members would you want to share a room with most? Take the poll!

We've seen a lot of crazy shiz go down on The Real World (from freaky foursomes to wasabi tears to public urination), but tonight's RW: Cancun premiere marks the first EVER mother-daughter tag team in the show's 22-year history. And none of it would've been possible if it weren't for Joey's sluttishness (Etch-A-Sketchiness?) and Bronne's impossibly low standards.

Okay, okay, fine, so Courtnee and her cougarish/Sharon Osbourne-y mom played a role in all this, too. But mainly it was Bronne, and his unflagging committment to booze (and gross-out comedy) that did the trick. And so, in honor of tonight's generation-spanning hookup, we'd like to present Bronne with the first annual "You Kissed An Old Lady And You Liked It" award.

Congratulations, dude! You totally showed that Jonna chick what she's missing. Cuz nothing says "Dump your boyfriend and sleep with me!" like groping a fifty-something soccer mom in a room full of drunken college kids. Monogamy. It's for suckers!

Bronne didn't waste any time nicknaming CJ the "Heartthrob" of the house. Then again, Bronne also smooched an old lady (and bragged about freaking out the chicks in his Life Drawing class), so, really, what does he know? Thing is, we're more into slutty rocker guys (Joey, call us!), adorable gays and class clowns whose names remind us of quilted paper towels. Plus, we're TOTALLY not feeling CJ's new cornrows (which, BTW, are giving us major MJ flashbacks).

+ Think CJ's All-American good looks are enough to warrant the "Heartthrob" title? Or do his creepy new braids have you scoping out the competition? Take our poll and let us know which Real World stud has you ladies (and same-sex oriented men!) cuckoo for Cancun.

And while Chris told us he thinks that Doug was the real culprit, it turns out that Paris herself wasn't at all down with his flirting. At least, according to this exclusive video clip...
