It pays to have friends in high places. Or, at least one good friend with a house on the "Jersey Shore" boardwalk. RadarOnline.com has posted photos of the MTV hit series' rumored new roomie hangin' with JWOWW on Saturday while filming Season 3. Girl goes by Deena Nicole on the web's people encyclopedia (aka Facebook) and is said to be a buddy of Snooki's, equally obsessed with dancing, house music and, apparently, tanning. According to the site's source, the seemingly "shy" addition to the cast was already spotted nursing a beer bong, which is one surefire sign that casting's gone and done its job right. Learn more about this mysterious Deena person and size her up here.

If you're ever lucky enough to bump into Whitney Port, you'll probably see her boasting an infectious grin (unless, of course, she's fighting with her ex-roomie Roxy Olin, or trying to single-handedly dominate the fashion industry). Over the weekend, she kicked her facial expressions up a notch and sported a huge kid-in-a-candy-shop smile while she -- you guessed it -- stopped by a candy shop. "The City" star happily perused the lollipops at the Sugar Factory in Las Vegas, looking adorbs in her feminine floral dress, intricate chain-inspired necklace and flip-flops.

+ Let us know if you're feeling Whitney's au naturel look, then spill the (jelly) beans about your all-time favorite sweet treat. (Anyone for a York Peppermint Pattie?)

Sometimes in life, you get to a point where you instinctively pull away from certain friends. Whatever the reason may be, it's not uncommon for personalities to shift and for BFFs to become just Fs, or even enemies. On tonight's episode of "Hard Times," we saw our strapping young hero RJ Berger get screwed over by his buddy Miles. Even after explicitly telling him that he didn't want to throw a house party while his parents were out of town, Miles showed up with a crowd of peeps and bum-rushed the door. Then, when RJ had an opportunity to hook up with his faux-babysitter (come on, what nanny drives around in a V8 yellow Corvette?), Miles' need to clean up trash do really gross things to Lily Miran ruined it for everyone.

+ Miles has mislead RJ and gotten him into a variety of hairy situations. Is it time for RJ to find a new bud, or is fighting just all part of a friendship? Take the poll and give us your two cents.

Tonight's episode of "Fantasy Factory" shed a new light on Rob Dyrdek's culinary dexterity (you have to respect a man that's willing to plunk down a wad of cash for some fine, artisinal stinky cheese). With the Grilled Cheese Invitational growing near, Rob knew that if he wanted to be taken seriously among sandwich royalty, he had to step up his game, and that meant costumes, cheerleaders and his favorite accessory -- gold spray paint/food coloring. Unfortunately, the judges weren't impressed with his grilling skills and Team Cheesy Ballers went home empty-handed.

+ Rob and Drama spent a fortune on ingredients. Did they deserve to win the competition or were they just too inexperienced to be taken seriously? Take the poll!

Drama's definitely not the most enthusiastic one of the "Fantasy Factory" bunch -- he made that loud and clear on tonight's episode. At the Grilled Cheese Invitational, Chanel and her high school cheerleading pals were chanting and toe-touching their little hearts out, even though sous chef Drama wasn't crazy about it. Earlier, he saw the girls rehearsing and told Rob they looked like "America's Best Worst Valley Dance Crew." Whoa buddy, they're just trying to help! How can you knock a lyricist that came up with something as awesome as "Cheddas don't mess with Swiss; Cheese Ballers So Legit?"

+ What did you think of Chanel and her cheerleading team? Did they do a good job, or did they ruin the whole cook-off experience?

We thought we'd never live to see the day when we'd write something like this, but here goes: We're sorta envious of Heidi Montag. Now, before you go flippin' your ish and freaking out, give us a moment to tell you why.

Yesterday, at around 4 a.m. PT, the newly single ex-"Hillzie" tweeted that she wrote 13 songs in one day -- an incredible feat for anyone. Even though her first album, Superficial, put her in the poor house ("I've actually gone broke putting every dollar I've ever made and my heart and soul into this music," she told EW.com in January), she's sticking to her passion and unwilling to give up. Hats off to Heidi for not letting defeat discourage her from putting out another batch of tunes. Question is, where does she find the energy to pen 13 new tracks when she's busy with her screenplay and recruiting local hotties for her TV show?

In pure "Jersey Shore" form, the show's Season 1 Reunion included a dramatic onstage breakup between notoriously temperamental sweethearts Ronnie and Sammi. Viewers were left wondering whether or not their Public Display of Affection Loathing (provoked by a screening of unseen footage of a flirtatious conversation between Sammi and Mike "The Situation") put the final nail in the coffin, ending the off-and-on again couple's relationship for good. Ronnie did, after all, announce at the argument's peak that he "cuts girls quicker than barbers do."

For the first time since the fit hit the shan, the (now seemingly friendly) duo is discussing the aftermath of their on-camera blowout, as well as describing the awkward spot of having to live in the same party house for six weeks with their ex. Check out video from our interview with Sammi and Ronnie in the Miami "Smush Room."

"Real World: New Orleans" airs Wednesdays at 10/9c, 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, so make sure you're getting your fill of the NOLA crew. (Tough job, we know, but, hey -- someone’s gotta do it!)

McKenzie's personality is molding into an indistinguishable shape, which makes figuring her out as confusing as trying to understand Ryan. She started out as a gullible goody two-shoes and quickly transformed into a bit of a drunk with a competitive/jealous streak yet contradictory aversion to curse words. That's a lot to handle, and it looks like she has more to unveil.

Check out this Real World Daily, where McKenzie tells Ryan and Knight that she used to be a corrupt gypsy that roamed the streets and stole from people. The boys don't know what to believe, but they are missing some of their toiletries.

The last time we saw Kristin Cavallari, she was all about toned-down Dodger Blue, but on Friday, the ex-"Hills" star switched up her style and went for a red-hot vixen look. After taking a mini road trip to San Diego to attend the TV.com NOW Awards, K-Cav flaunted her figure in a silky strapless dress with layers of eye-catching ruffles. Later, the sizzlin' Hillzie headed inside the event with her dad (he was her date -- how sweet!) and tweeted that she was being recognized as Trendsetter Of The Year.

+ We love that K-Cav was honored for her fashion-forward style! Below, check out some of her other daring ensembles from the past year!
