It's always a crapshoot whether or not a reality TV star's 15 minutes will go into overtime--after all, not every photogenic lush who steps in front of a video camera can blossom into an international icon such as Snooki (quit your tryin' already, Tila Tequila.) Still, when "Real World: Las Vegas" premieres Wednesday night (10/9c), a few of the cast members are sure to nab an instant reputation amongst the 18-32 demo--and luckily, these greenies have Pauly D, Deena Nicole Cortese and Vinny Guadagnino to show them how to strike an expert pose for the paps, make nicey-nice with the tabloid press and shield themselves from incoming haterade.
During the "RW: Las Vegas" premiere party Saturday night, MTV.com caught some special bonding moments going down between the two casts. Pictured below are Pauly and Deena hanging with bad-boy Adam and pretty-boy Dustin, as well as Vinny getting his flirt on with Sin City beauties Naomi and Nany (and Jemmye from "Real World: New Orleans"!).
Just one big happy family...that is, until it's time to stop being polite and start getting real.
