In case you haven't seen the sequel's trailer (you know, the one with Carrie Bradshaw riding camelback in couture and littering sequins all over Abu Dhabi), "Sex and the City" has lost its cool. It's no longer cool to announce how much you need a cocktail (especially if it's before noon). It's no longer cool to cackle uncontrollably at brunch about the size of men's members (especially if they're 20 years younger than you). And it's definitely no longer cool to refer to your boyfriend/crush/eff buddy, etc. by nickname. So au revoir, 'It-Made-Me-Wonder' Carrie, slutty Samantha, stuck-up Charlotte, smart-ass Miranda and Mr. Too Big, cuz there are some new hipsters in town -- and they never just "have to have" a pair of anything.

Meet the cast of "Downtown Girls": Glamour employee Shallon (pictured below) and her closest friends Gurj, Klo, Nikki and Victoria. They work hard (think fashion), play hard (think hooking up with each other's exes) and are quite good bowlers -- a must if you live below 14th St. Before the show premieres June 1 at 11/10c, flip through photos of these new-school-cool chicks, watch the series trailer and sound off about whether that "SATC 2" commercials bug the crap out of you, too.

We've been rooting for Team Landon since the beginning because he's one of the few honest-ish players on "Fresh Meat II." Sure, he and CJ tossed around the idea of branching off and building their own quasi-alliance (a whopping 83 percent of you wanted that to happen), but that never came to fruition.

Now that Landon is essentially alone in the house, he's been playing with the idea of crossing over to the dark side. Check out this sneak peek of next week's episode, where he openly regrets picking his alliance so soon and tries to barter a one-off deal with Kenny.

We originally reported back in April that Audrina Patridge and her height-defying boyfriend Ryan Cabrera broke up … but that wound up just being goss. Of course, the fake-out didn't stop us from dreaming up new suitors we thought 'Drina could/should date after they DO split (most of you picked Maroon 5's Adam Levine).

Why are we bringing up old rumors? According to People.com, Drina and Ryan really are dunzo this time. (Ya hear that, Adam?)

"She ended things about a week ago," a source shared with People.com. "There were issues in their relationship. But a lot stems from his partying ways."

+ What do you think? Is Cabrera really on the way down, or is it too soon to believe the rumors?

Everyone was shocked to see Mandi barking orders at Wes during last night's episode of "Fresh Meat II." He barely managed to complete The Exile, which is a complete shocker for such a top-notch competitor. Wes has pulled some shady moves in the past, so maybe he was faking the shin injury and throwing the game to give Evelyn the win?

Check out these video clips from our exclusive 'Raw Meat' interview series, where Ryan and Laurel conclude that Wes' head just wasn't in the game because he ultimately knew that his empire was crumbling. Plus, watch Carley rock rough and stuff with her afro puffs blonde hair.

No matter how much couture Whitney Port wears, she still holds her laid-back California style close to the heart. When she's not posing for paps on the red carpet or schmoozing with fashion editors, you'll probably find her making casual fits look stylish. On Sunday, Whit rocked a short black dress with her favorite high-top black Chucks, a cozy cocoon-like knit sweater and a navy blue studded purse.

+ Check out these other casual outfits on Whitney and let us know if you like her better glammed up or dressed down.

I'm not embarrassed to admit this, but sometimes when I'm feeling down about things (like when my jeans just shrink without warning), I turn to "Jersey Shore" for a pick-me-up. Even when the casties are dropping F-bombs and mishandling their pants, they always seem so happy.

Which brings me to these shoes, courtesy of Steve Madden (and the peeps over at Refinery29 for making the discovery first). Standing at 5.5 inches high and coated in glitter, "The Snookie" is presumably what the designers over at Steve Madden created when they, too, were in a bit of a funk. For $109, you can perform some serious cartwheels in the club and stumble your way to bliss ... just like Snooki!

+ What do you think of the heels? Would you pick up a pair? Take the poll!

Oh, Wes, what a tangled web we you weave! Tonight's episode of "Fresh Meat II" was literally a complete replica of last week's, except that this time, Landon made sure he got his revenge! After winning the Airheads Challenge, Landon and Carley threw team leads Wes and Evelyn into The Exile, thus debilitating the anti-Kenny alliance completely.

+ Wes and Mandi lost, and now Ev and Luke are essentially an army of one. Do they have a shot at redemption, or are they totally f**ked? Take the poll and let us know if you think they're doomed without Wes.

It was no surprise that a few "Hills" girls made Maxim's annual Hot 100 list -- but finding out that Amber Lancaster (aka Jenny Swanson from MTV's upcoming series "The Hard Times of RJ Berger") landed a solid spot at #91 practically blew down our office doors.

You see, on "Hard Times," Amber (your not-so-average half-naked actress, top right) plays Jenny (the all-American girl next door who wears lots of pastel pink, top left). Jenny's not exactly the type of girl who'd strike a pose for some borderline perverted, middle-aged magazine editors who've deemed themselves the authority on hotness, but we'll be damned, the sexy pinup who lives inside her wears that skimpy bikini loud and proud. Talk about alter egos! Check these two out, side by side, plus make sure to tune in for the premiere of "Hard Times" (June 6 at 11/10c) to see if Jenny's just as sweet as she says.

Love the styles you see on "The City"? Well, we've teamed up with our fashionable friends at ELLE.com to bring you a weekly guide to getting the latest episode's looks. Check out our new installment!

Whitney may be too charming for her own good. While styling her new lookbook, she tried not to lead on the photographer (who was obviously interested in her for more than just her talent). Still, wearing a flirty leopard crop top, tight skinny jeans and cute flats, Whit looked too sweet to pass up. And when the photographer tried to ask her on another date, she had to turn him down softly, claiming work was her priority. Oh, Whitney, how you play with those boys' emotions!

Go to ELLE.com to shop Whitney's flirty behind-the-scenes style.

In the U.S., we risk nothing by sharing our political thoughts on TV. In fact, "sounding off" is encouraged by our thriving entertainment industry, news media and even the country's government leaders. We are lucky. For young people living in Saudi Arabia, publicly questioning the law can be grounds for examination by the authorities. In fact, speaking to our "True Life" cameras about their contrary opinions -- on everything from how they're supposed to dress to who they're allowed to see -- could be problematic.

On May 24 at 10/9c, "True Life" will close its season with a powerful documentary about the restrictions placed on the people of Saudi Arabia and what some of them are doing to rebel. Watch a sneak peek of "Resist The Power! Saudi Arabia" below, plus tune in on Monday to meet four inspiring young adults striving to send a message of change to a society steeped in ancient traditions and deep-seated religious beliefs.
