Watching "The Challenge: Fresh Meat II" is like eating potato chips -- once you start, you can’t stop. And since Wednesday (at 10/9c) always seems so far away, we’ll be sifting through the Challenge Dailies to give you your dose of Fresh Meat II. You’re welcome.
We're only three episodes into "Fresh Meat II," but it's pretty clear who the leading ladies are. Evelyn's the mastermind vet, and Laurel's the hungry newbie out to impress (mission accomplished!). So which girl's the stronger of the two? Check out this Challenge Daily, where they engage in a "fun" game of wrestling. It's neck and neck for most of it, but Ev (as usual) comes out with the win.

Imagine this scenario: You hook up with someone you met at a club but head home and have nowhere to document your, well, success. (Oh, and you're a beefcake hottie boombalottie.) What do you do? Well, if you're on Season 2 of "Jersey Shore," bragging to your roommates just ain't gonna cut it no more. Which is why, according to RadarOnline.com, the boys of the house have turned smush recording into a real game!
“Mike, Pauly D, and Vinny are getting so many girls that they’ve started keeping a scoreboard at the house,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “These guys are bringing home three and four girls each." (Peanut gallery says "eww.")
If this intel is true, there are a lot of stats to keep track of in the game of love lust, like stolen bases girls, total attempts, strikeouts, homers -- we're so looking forward to hearing the rankings!

We first saw Whitney Port and Ben Nemtin of MTV's "The Buried Life" step out in public at the beginning of March, and it looks as if they're still going strong! There's no doubt these guys make an adorable reality TV couple.
Over the weekend, Whit and Ben went to the Tribeca Film Festival afterparty at The Breslin Bar. Judging by their matchy-matchy city-chic outfits, we thinks perhaps they got dressed together ... again.
Whitney rocked a studded dress, leather moto jacket, peep-toe booties and a beige Chanel handbag while Ben slipped on some bright red pants to brighten the mood.
+ What do you think of Whit's film noir style? Too dark, or is it just right for a New York night on the town?

On tonight's "True Life: I'm Hustling in the Hamptons," we watched "Jonny From Long Island" juggle a number of jobs to make enough money to move out to California. In the end, he realized that The Hamptons were too hoity-toity for his taste and that he was totes oves the whole scene.
In our exclusive "True Life Diary," Jonny picks up the camera months later and fills us in on what he's been doing since taping wrapped. Not only has he stopped drinking and smoking (yet still claims he parties like an animal), but he's also pursuing a new career as a model. Check it out:

Did tonight's episode of "True Life: I'm Hustling in the Hamptons" make you long for the ocean breeze? Well, if you're headed out along Route 27 this summer, we've broken down the South Fork into four key areas and included some tips on things to do (or avoid, depending on your taste). So go ahead and fold your Calypso tunic, pack your Longchamp bag and make a res on the Hampton Jitney!
SOUTHAMPTON
What To Expect: The birthplace of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, this town lost some of its old world affluence as transplanted, club-hungry college alums started moving renting in years ago.
Social Scene: Most summer share-ers hit up hangouts like Dune Southampton (pictured right), La Playa or Pink Elephant. If you go, expect to see lots of Sperry Topsider-sporting "big-timers" handing over major bucks for bottle service.
Who You Might See: Aside from seas of tanned Yale alum in Polo shirts? New York Housewife Ramona Singer (a.k.a. "Crazy Eyes") has a house there!
BRIDGEHAMPTON
What To Expect: A classy and upscale town that has attracted notable residents like Madonna and Kelly Ripa. It's considerably less noisy than what you'll find in Southampton.
Social Scene: The yearly Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge (pictured right) draws in all the heavy hitters. If you want to fit in, men should don chinos and ladies should stay away from the sky-high stilettos. No faster way to spot a newbie than watching a young wannabe poke holes in the grass with her Louboutins.
EAST HAMPTON
What To Expect: Originally touted as the artist's colony, this wealthy beach town boasts tons of New Englandish charm and is known for its quality shopping and food.
Social Scene: The annual Hamptons International Film Festival (pictured right) attracts droves of Manhattanites and big players from the film industry.
Where To Eat: Nobu for dinner and Babette’s for breakfast. (Both are awesome places for hoity-toity people watching!)
WESTHAMPTON BEACH
What To Expect: This small town is actually considered to be a part of Southampton but often gets overshadowed by the lure of the other more popular areas. If you truly want to see how the rich and famous live, do some window (mansion) shopping along Dune Road.
Social Scene: The annual Hampton Hills Golf and Country Club in Westhampton (pictured right) is a celebrity tournament that raises money for various charities.
Where To Sun: If you’re there to visit the sand, Cupsogue Beach is a tried-and-true local spot.
+ Have tonight's "True Life" visions of out-of-town first-pumpers whet your appetite for the Hamptons, or simply made you want to yak? Take the poll and tell us if any of these summer getaways pique your interest!

The Hamptons, which you got a quaint tour of on tonight's "True Life," have long been a summer playground for affluent New Yorkers and celebrities seeking refuge from The City. And while the mid-Friday mass exodus toward Long Island is always jam-packed with people looking to unwind, sometimes they find just the opposite -- drama. Here's our list of top five celebrity scandals to ever hit The 'Hams!
Lizzie Grubman Crashes Beach Party
She might be a PR guru, but she's a driving failure! In 2001, Lizzie backed her SUV into 16 people outside of a Hamptons club and was later charged with reckless endangerment and driving while intoxicated.
Sean Combs Bounces Cream Of the Crop
Before he dropped the “Puffy,” Combs was dropping socialites like it was hot at his Hamptons home. During one of his legendary "all-white" parties, he reportedly sent home Billy Joel's then-wife, Katie Lee, because she was wearing cream.
Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger Go to War
After being a mainstay in the Hamptons socialite circuit (they even threw a fundraiser for the Clintons!), this movie star duo's divorce fell under public scrutiny and became one of the most volatile splits ever to hit Long Island.
Martha Stewart Turns Red Over Greens
The design diva got into a big-time tiff with her neighbor, Harry Macklowe, over his overgrown hedge. She was accused of threatening to run over Macklowe's gardener, but no charges were ever filed.
Rachel Uchitel Becomes Infamous
Rumor had it that Tiger Woods' mistress was a bona fide Hamptons club-hopper and celebrity wrangler! Wonder if she knows JWOWW?

"The City" hasn't been around for long, but what it lacks in history it makes up for in jam-packed drams. Like, remember the time Whitney Port double-crossed the Scary Boss Lady? Or when Olivia Palermo forced a squeamish Elle intern to witness exactly How Not To Act In A Professional Setting (below, see clip of Liv dropping an eff-bomb on her new coworker Erin Kaplan)? Ah, just makes ya giddy with anticipation of Tuesday night's Season 2 premiere, doesn't it? And we've got 13 more memorable moments where this video came from, so check 'em all out before tuning in for tomorrow's big show, plus tell us in the comments which of our series highlights solidified your (much-appreciated) loyalty to the show.

Katelynn is no doubt a fighter. She referenced her martial arts training during the first "Fresh Meat II" challenge -- plus, she's always up for a good ol' shouting match. But there's actually something about the straight-shooting "Real World: Brooklyn" alum you might not know ...
Check out this Challenge Daily, where Katelynn demos some high-flying martial arts moves for the housemates. Unfortunately, Kenny and Wes ruin the lighthearted mood by transitioning into awkward conversation about her past as a transgendered sex worker.

If you're gonna engage in stupid-ass stunts like the ones in this trailer, you best be prepared to suffer the consequences. And that might be the most effed-up thing about The Dudesons -- no matter how much blood, blistering, bone-breaking or ball-busting (that last one we mean in quite the literal sense), these Finnish freaks always seem to have a dopey grin on their face. Check out our Gore Gallery to see just what we mean, plus don't forget to tune in to "The Dudesons in America" premiere on May 6 at 10/9c.

We're quickly nearing the end of MTV News' Most Buzzed About "Hills" Moments countdown. And you know what that means! Or maybe you don't. In case it's been a while since you've swung by Remote Control (tsk tsk), it means Season 6 of "The Hills" premieres tomorrow night (10/9c), and you'll finally see what happens when Heidi's mom stops being polite -- and starts getting real. Until then, take a look back at some of the most gossip-inducing scenes in the history of the series:
#4: Heidi Moves Out of Hillside Villas, into Pratt Territory
#5: K-Cav Declares War on Her New Castmates
#6: Heidi and Spencer Tie the Knot (Twice!)
