Last week, we learned that the real reason "The Dudesons" came to America wasn't to indulge in dangerous high-action stunts but to become the first astronauts to land on Uranus. These guys are ambitious!

Check out this sneak peek of Thursday's all-new episode, where the Finnish foursome join "Nitro Circus" legend Andy Bell for a little Harley/bungee/fire action (there's really no other way to explain it). Watch as HP gets strapped to the back of a motorcycle and launches high into the air.

Back in April, it sounded like Sammi and Ronnie were headed for trouble. Again. After learning that Ronnie was hooking up with tons of chicks in Miami (and we have to assume that he was participating in the Smush Scoreboard), we figured that Sammi would have dropped the sweet act and kicked the two-timer to the curb. Looks like we were wrong. These photos of the "Jersey Shore" couple were taken on Friday, so we think they might be back on. For now.

If you tuned into "When I Was 17" over the weekend, you learned that the wild rock star Bret Michaels lost his virginity at a fish hatchery and Katharine McPhee was a serial dater who lied to her parents in order to have coed sleepovers!

Check out the two deleted scenes below, where coffee-lover Kevin Jonas recalls the first time his uncle introduced him to the band MxPx, and Bret Michaels tells us about his ultimate party mobile.

On Friday, Whitney Port attended the Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards in New York. She showed up at the Waldorf Astoria, wearing a structured double-breasted blazer and whimsical floral mini-skirt. Whit chose ivory-toned accessories to complement her ensemble and kept her makeup simple, with a dusty rose tint on her cheeks and lips.

+ What do you think of "The City" star's demure look? Is it perfect for a beauty event, or too bland for your fashion taste?

Another week, another "10 on Top" countdown that brought you loads of pop culture news and goss. But perhaps the most pressing topic during today's episode was the state of Robert Pattinson's hair.

As host Lenay Dunn broke it down, Wednesday R-Pattz debuted his new look -- a considerable reduction of his signature pouf coif -- on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." The big moment was reported by media everywhere, including MTV News.

+ We're torn on whether or not we like the new 'do, so we're throwing the question over to you: Is Rob's haircut a yay or nay? Take the poll!

As The Hard Times of RJ Berger will teach us when it premieres on June 6, not all nerds are created equally. Take RJ for instance. He's an outcast and a dweeb, but at least he's hung like an Arabian Stallion. Then again, most nerds don't have the luxury of a redeeming feature that might allow women (like RJ's crush Jenny Swanson) to see below past their geeky exterior. So in honor of all those nerds who never had an enormous package to show off, we present our six favorite in the history of TV, plus the objects of their unrequited affection.

The Nerd: Screech Powers ("Saved By the Bell")
Screech possessed the classic nerd trait of high intelligence. Problem was, even though he was book smart, he couldn't have been more street dumb. (This fact resulted in countless social embarrassments, like that hair.)
The Girl: The only thing that could match Screech's love for Lisa Turtle was her hatred for him. But that didn't affect his persistence, and in the end it paid off. Lisa kissed him on the cheek before graduation.

The Nerd: Warren "Potsie" Weber ("Happy Days")
He wasn't bad looking. He wore nice sweaters and he could sing (well, he tried to sing). Still, everyone in Milwaukee was more smitten with the slightly cooler Richie Cunningham and the astronomically cooler Fonzie. It probably didn't help that his jump shot was so bad his name became synonymous with a brick.
The Girl: Potsie had his fair share of crushes but finally found the right lady in Jennifer Jerome, a fellow crooner who hooked up with Pots for a memorable duet.

The Nerd: Steve Urkel ("Family Matters")
With his suspenders, glasses and legendary laugh, Urkel was the biggest nerd in the history of nerdom. He was so socially inept, he makes Screech look like the Fonz. And like any good nerd, Urkel had a foil: Carl Winslow. Urkel would have never been happy without a chubby neighbor to torment. His catch phrase ("Did I do that?"), uttered in a high-pitched nasally way, became a rally cry for nerds all over.
The Girl: Steve Urkel grew up next to Laura Winslow and watched her blossom from a young girl into a beautiful woman. He loved her the whole time, but she hated him. That is, until he consumed his magical "cool juice" and became the ultrasuave Stefan Urquelle.

The Nerd: Bill Haverchuck ("Freaks and Geeks")
Most geeks spend their lives on the constant hunt for friends or simply someone to hang out with even if that someone makes fun of them. Bill Haverchuck found those friends in Sam and Neal. A TV addict who could die from just looking at a peanut, Bill suffered the ultimate insult when his a**hole gym teacher started banging his mom. But at least he had his friends there for support.
The Girl: Bill was far too dorky to like real girls. We're guessing his love was reserved for Lucy Ewing Cooper, the hottie from his favorite show "Dallas."

The Nerd: Sheldon Cooper ("The Big Bang Theory")
Damn is he smart. Still, all the brains in the world won't make you a normal person. Sheldon might be a pro in the science lab, but in the lab of life, he's a definite amateur. He doesn't understand everyday humor, has no conception of sarcasm and hasn't once in his life properly used slang. But he could tell you every detail about Spock's life, so at least there's that.
The Girl: Sheldon is so socially awkward that the idea of him with a girl is as uncomfortable as the picture of him enjoying an episode of "Babylon 5."

The Nerd: Carlton Banks ("The Fresh Prince of Bel Air")
Sure, Carlton had money, nice clothes and cool cars, but even with all that he danced like an idiot. A preppy nerd with a high IQ, Carlton was arrogant and proud of it. And he was nowhere near as cool as his cousin Will, a fact that became painfully clear when he shared his list of idols: Bryant Gumbel, Tom Jones and Macaulay Culkin.
The Girl: For such a short guy, Carlton wasn't a total failure with the ladies. But once again, compared with his cousin Will, the man had a love life comparable to the Pope.

Things have entered into a whole new world of crazy on "The Hills," so we weren't surprised to read that Stephanie Pratt and Audrina Patridge were leaving on a jet plane (hopefully, far, far away from Hollyweird). Their ex-costar Whitney Port was also headed to the airport -- maybe they're all linking up to film the last few episodes of the season? (A girl can dream, can't she?) Perhaps the biggest news is that Heidi Tweeted via Web, which means girlfriend was back on the computer! No word yet on whether or not she had Spencer's blessing.

Elsewhere, comedian Ellen DeGeneres was wishing that rock star Adam Lambert's makeup styling services were available for hire, and Asher Roth was listening to some seriously old school jams. We kind of love him for that -- "Big Yellow Taxi" is a classic!

Check out their tweets below:

Before Brody Jenner got inked with current girlfriend Avril Lavigne (or hooked up in a crop top with ex-girlfriend Kristin Cavallari) he dated Jayde Nicole, the always-dramatic Playboy Bunny from Season 5. Lately, we haven't seen much of her on the show, but that doesn't mean she's stopped making the red carpet rounds.

Over the weekend, Jayde attended the Playboy Playmate of the Year party in Las Vegas. She wore a silver metallic barely-there dress with layers and layers of chains (there might even be more metal links than fabric).

+ What do you think of Jayde's outfit? Too skimpy, or is it perfect for a Playboy fete in Sin City?

Tonight's episode of "MTV's Ultimate Parkour Challenge" brought us a bit farther south to Melody Ranch, California. (We're shocked the guys abandoned the ocean views!) And after watching three episodes chock-full of perilous stunts, we're still as mystified by their talent as we were in the beginning!

So far, we've learned the importance of "creating a line" and maintaining "flow," and this week King David is schooling you on balance. Sure, you use balance every day when you walk, but can you put all of your weight on one hand while stabilizing on top of a roof? Neither can we. Check out the video below -- it's wild.
