Watching "The Challenge: Cutthroat" is like eating potato chips--once you start, you can't stop. And since Wednesdays (at 10/9c) always seem so far away, we’ll be sifting through the Challenge Dailies on a regular basis to give you your dose of Cutthroat action. You're welcome!

Whenever new Challenges kick off, all of the competitors typically know what to expect--the rookies undoubtedly get treated like yesterday's garbage, the veterans run the show and everyone else just tries to make a spot for themselves. But, when someone attempts to overthrow the pre-existing rankings...well, that's when things can get crazy.

Check out this Challenge Daily, where Luke accidentally makes a remark suggesting that Real Worlders are soft players. Tyler and Ayiiia aren't having it and let the "Fresh Meat 2" kid know how tough it was to be on "Real World." Living on someone else's dime in a pimped-out pad with seven strangers is way harder than it seems, Luke!

How would class act Whitney Port look doing the rumba in a heavily bedazzled cut-out dress? We tried to get a clear picture with a little photoshopping exercise (see above) and were actually surprised by the results. Cute, right? Plus, if former "Hills" star Audrina Patridge can pull it off, we think Whit should totally give "Dancing with the Stars" a shot. And so do her friends!

Following yesterday's sad news that "The City" will not return to MTV for a third season, TV Guide spoke with the show's leading lady about what's in store next. While much is up in the air, she can tell you one thing for certain--the girl's done with having her life turned into a soap opera. Sounds like perfect timing for a stint on "DWTS" (it's so trendy right now)!

Whit told TV Guide she's tempted but doesn't think it'll happen. Meh. We're convinced she can be swayed judging by this little tidbit from the interview: "I have a lot of people in my life that are telling me that they want me to do it." We're right there with 'em, Whit! Let this blog post serve as our official vote to get you into the competition. Please consider it--after all, what do you have to lose aside from 75 percent of your clothing fabric?

+ What do you think? Should Whitney Port be the next MTV star to take the "DWTS" stage? Talk amongst yourselves...

The last time we saw Whitney Port she was frolicking on the beaches of Hawaii in a teeny-weeny bikini, but she's back in Los Angeles now, looking as stylish as ever. Over the weekend, she hosted a charity event called "Bowl For A Better L.A." at Lucky Strike. There, she captivated the carpet and showed off her menswear-inspired fashions. The stunning designer wore ripped boyfriend jeans with a structured blazer and paired the opposing looks with feminine peep-toe pumps and lots of fun jewelry.

+ Do you like the way Whitney mixes masculine and feminine pieces? You be the judge!

In between tons of silliness, tonight's episode of "The Buried Life" contained moments of real meaning. While Dave, Duncan and Jonnie stayed back in Hollywood to stalk vampires, Ben took a trip to visit a young girl named Lexie who'd been suffering from depression and low self-confidence. Within an hour or so of meeting her, Ben found that she was truly dedicated to helping others find a way to manage the disease. Together, they assembled a forum so that Lexie could start connecting with other people who are struggling. She not only started a discourse about depression within her community, but received a partial academic scholarship from Rochester College for her commitment.

Check out the video below, where Lexie offers up a variety of mental health resources (like the organization To Write Love On Her Arms--find out more here: TWLOHA.com) and encouraging words for everyone, and even talks about how amazing it was to meet The Lifers. Plus, after the jump, read a poem she wrote after "The Buried Life" cameras stopped rolling.

On tonight's episode of "The Buried Life," the inspirational foursome turned to fans of the show for their next task. And just what did the people dare them to do? End world hunger or test their physical limits by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro? Nope, they asked for something probably even harder: to steal a lock of Robert Pattinson's hair.

With the help of Twitter and some seedy stalkarazzi, the boys followed a trail that led them straight to the studly vampire, where they triumphantly snipped a strand of his shaggy mane. We gotta hand it to those Buried Lifers, they're really cleaning up this season!

+ We were so impressed when Dave and Jonnie returned to the car with Robert's split ends in tow, but how about you? Was it a cool mission, or were you totally weirded out? Take the poll!

Tonight Andrew Jenks fled the hustle and bustle of New York City and landed oceanside in Southern California, where he met pro surfer and mega beach babe Anastasia Ashley. Aside from her striking features and perfect blonde tousled hair, he also noticed that she had quite a bite to her, especially when fellow riders got in her face. It wasn't until she opened up and told the "World Of Jenks" boss about the death of her mother that he finally understood her cold demeanor.

+ After learning about Anastasia's loss, Jenks thought she should tell more people about it, but what do you think? Does she need to let her guard down in order to be a successful surfer, or is acting tough all part of being an athlete? Take the poll!

Pauly D may spend his nights deejaying in Sin City, but that doesn't mean he can't call a time out to indulge his childlike side. On Friday, the "Jersey Shore" softie was spotted at the Magic Kingdom pumping his fists with Goofy and sorting through some spiffy park threads. And wouldja look at that--Pauly's favorite Season 2 saying song lyric has made its way to America's iconic family vacation destination! (Walt Disney is soooo rolling in his grave right now.)

Following Rutgers student Tyler Clementi's horrific suicide last month, tons of A-listers have joined together to take a stand against bullying, name-calling and harassment. Even some of the "Jersey Shore" housemates took time out from their party schedule to post videos in support of MTV's Love Is Louder campaign. Vinny in particular just filmed a message (video below) for Facebook's new "Network of Support" campaign to address anti-LGBT cyberbullying. The movement serves as a platform to help Facebook users report harassers and stick up for one another online.

+ Proud of what Vinny and many others are doing? Sound off in the comments and feel free to leave your own message of encouragement!

Various rumors have been circulating since Season 2 of "The City" ended, and we're sorry to report that the scariest one appears to be true--the show has been canceled. Whitney Port broke the sad news to Ryan Seacrest this morning, offering up her usual bright side of things: "It's OK, one door closes and another opens." Later in the day, an MTV spokesperson confirmed that the show would not return for a third season, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "Whitney has been a part of our family for many years and we wish her and the cast the best, and hope to collaborate with them again."

So what's up next for the longtime reality TV sweetheart? Maybe she and boyfriend Ben Nemtin of MTV's "The Buried Life" should add some couples' challenges to the crew's infamous to-do list? We totally dare them to streak Olivia Palermo's next fancy soiree!

Season 2 of "Jersey Shore" brought the drama, but it wasn't all hair-pulling and co**-blocking--there were some really happy times too! As Boyz II Men once put quite eloquently, it's so hard to say good-bye to yesterday, which is why we've decided to extend our Miami farewell with a fond look back at all of the stuff that made us smile. Check 'em out, then vote for your favorite moment in the poll.

Episode 2: After a night of heavy partying, Mike "The Situation" chases the hair of the dog--mid-slumber--with a nice lukewarm bottle of beer. Atta boy!

Episode 6: Maybe it wasn't a fun time for him, but finding out that Mike made out with a transvestite tickled us to pieces. We're sure he'll be able to laugh about it in 60+ years.

Episode 7: What could make a gold-digger-in-training feel more special than receiving the gift of a Fossil watch from a guy dressed in a three-piece suit? Probably if it were a Rolex, and he wasn't such a nice person.

Episode 8: Vinny's family, including the unforgettable (and incomprehensible) Uncle Nino, comes to visit, and they bring a lot of chest hair and antipasti.

Episode 9: Pauly D recruits some hot chicks to bury Vinny in the sand. Now this is a seriously whimsical scene--like, Doublemint gum commercial level.

Episode 11: After Angelina's rough and tumble exit, a celebration commences. The boys pop the champagne and move her bed out of their room.

Episode 12: When JWOWW creates a house hook-up chart, she and Snooki seem repulsed yet amused by their dysfunctional family's antics. We second the notion.

Episode 13: Granted he's taking on Vin's rejects, but it's a hallelujah moment when Mike finally meets a girl two girls who'll get dirrrty with him. Did you think his ménage was hot or not?

Episode 13: The gang's Everglades trip kind of reminded of us of a kooky Brady Bunch adventure minus the corduroy blazers and middle hair parts. And is that a bad-luck tiki necklace on Mike? (He did, after all, puke during the ride home.)
