Well, we never saw this one coming.

Then again, we probably should have.

Just when we thought that fickle Frank had turned over a new leaf and was making smart decisions in his relationship with Michael, we met Todd, the irresistible (?) homewrecker that ruined everything! But in all seriousness, the destruction of "Real World: San Diego"'s finest couple was no one's fault but Frank's, who couldn't bare the responsibility of actually being in a relationship.

Early on in his courtship with Michael, we feared they were moving too fast--ILYs flew out of their mouths just as soon as their pants came off--but a little cheating didn't mean it had to end, did it? Well, according to Michael, who was destroyed after Frank's adultery, it really did.

+ Now that Frank's free to spread his wings and explore his sexuality with no strings attached, will he prevail? Or will he crash and burn? Take the poll and let us know if you think Frank is better off a single man.

Readers, this blogger can think of a time when forgetting to fill the ice cream truck up with premium unleaded (yes, you read that correctly) left him in a cold sweat when he considered the backlash that was sure to come from his boss the next day. So when Nate threw caution to the wind on "Real World" and his boss down onto his bed, we had to make sure what we saw was what we saw. And after a second take, and with the help of Priscilla's narration, we can say with certainty that the two went downtown and all around, and friendly Michelle got several helpings of her employee.

Question is: How will things change at work now that Nate and Michelle have sealed the summer fling deal? Put aside the fact that the guy led her on and then let her down (not your finest move, buddy), things are sure to take a turn for the awkward when Nate faces his next House of Blues performance review. Efficient? Check. Motivated? Sure. Appropriate in and outside of the workplace? Uhh...pending further inspection.

+ What do you think--was Nate well within his right to get down with his boss, or is this an across-the-board professional no-no?

Adam Brody, the voice of Woodie, at a Vanity Fair event in October.

If you've ever caught an episode of "Good Vibes" (AND WHY WOULDN'T YOU HAVE BY NOW?!), then you're already well-acquainted with new kid Mondo's sidekick, Woodie, who's as skilled with his surfboard as he is hopeless with chicks. But did you know that the mellow teenage voice of Woodie was created by none other than Adam Brody? That's right--every time the skinny dude with the yellow 'fro opens his mouth, that's good ol' Christmakkah inventor Seth Cohen working his magic, that of which took several trips around the world to perfect, he recently joked about (we think...) with Remote Control.

In the video below, Brody answers all of your burning questions about his "Vibes" character. For example: Will Woodie ever get the chance to nail his best friend's mom? The actor says it's probably not for the best, but then he reconsiders, explaining that maybe Babs would be the perfect person--with the perfect boobs--to show the awkward teenager the ropes.

+ Check out Brody's take on how he plans to "peel the onion that is Woodie" as the animated series progresses, and what's to come in the next 20 seasons. Hey, if "The Simpsons" could do it...

Beavis And Butt-Head always have a unique perspective on pop culture trends and happenings (whatever it is, it's "stupid," no matter what). And since we're pretty fond of imitating their gruff banter, we're being so bold as to craft an imaginary page out of an imaginary episode's script. This week, we're taking on how we think the guys might react to The Black Eyed Peas' disbanding.

Beavis and Butt-Head approach the couch with chili dogs, sit down and turn on the TV. The Black Eyed Peas' video for 'I Gotta Feeling' plays.

Beavis

I dunno, Butt-Head, I think, like, tonight is gonna be a good night.

Butt-Head

Yeah. Maybe it'd be a good night if they, like, shut up.

Beavis

It's like: How good a night can you have if you're all motionless in foot traffic? I bet it like, really reeks next to that falafel cart.

Onch as a 'BFF' contestant in 2008, and now, as a popular jewelry designer.

When Onch told MTV.com in 2008 that his favorite color was "rainbow," he'd said it all. The Hacienda, Calif., native had more than a colorful personality; he had a penchant for accessories and outfits that would make a kaleidoscope cry out in envy. Onch was a character through and through, and he quickly became someone Paris Hilton could depend on while competing for her friendship on the first season of "Paris Hilton's My New BFF." Things weren't all Technicolor roses, though.

While Onch generally sat in Hilton's good graces, his fellow competitors didn't always hold him in as high esteem, and after he was voted one of the "fakest" in the house, Hilton eliminated him from the competition. Still, she sent him off with a "TTYS," rather than the standard "TTYN," which translated to "See you soon, bitch."

Now, Onch's jewelry line, OnchMovement, is in high demand in the weird, wide world of Hollywood, and by some definite A-listers. Remember Nicki Minaj's infamous pink drumstick necklace? Yeah, that was Onch's piece. His website is loaded with food-for-jewelry in every conceivable hue or shade--lime green pretzels and the perfectly portioned wearable pizza slice are the new floating diamonds, we hear.

Below, check what the vibrant MTV alum told Remote Control and see his recipe for the perfect piece of jewelry. Plus, follow his Twitter account for the latest in the design world!

How did you wind up on “BFF?"
I was out at some bar when the casting agent saw me and asked if I would be interested in being on the show. At first I said no, but after thinking it over, I thought that shooting a TV show would be a super fun experience. With that and my extreme love of Paris, I decided to do it, and the rest is MTV history!

What were some memorable moments from your time on the show?
The whole experience was like living in a fun sorority house full of hot, crazy girls (all of them crazy and some of them hot). Facing one of my extreme fears, heights and roller coasters, was a memorable life moment for me. The roller coaster challenge was literally my nightmare come true--I still get the chills thinking of that day.

Pauly D gives a photog a nod as he leaves dinner in L.A.

Pauly D fanatics that are itching for any glimpse into the DJ's "Jersey Shore" spin-off will have a shot at a first look tonight, when the Seaside Heights nice guy leaves his mark on Planet Hollywood in New York City's Times Square--in the form of two golden brown and outstretched hands.

Pauly's own show, which is slated to premiere on MTV in 2012, will follow his travels as a celebrity spinner (which we can only hope involves several stops on the Britney Spears Femme Fatale Tour). And tonight, fans will get a taste of exactly what's to come when Pauly (and the cameras!) stop by the famous restaurant chain at 7 p.m. for a "handprint ceremony" to promote the fifth season of "J-Shore," which premieres January 5 (hey-yo!).

If you're in town, make sure to swing by for your chance to catch Pauly D in the flesh! We can't promise you'll get front row seats, but if you follow the mobs, you might just get that snapshot-from-afar you've been dreaming of!

JWOWW at a Halloween party, without her pimp gun.

If you weren't already intimidated by the girl who introduced herself to the masses by describing her affinity for ripping guys heads off after she has sex with them--ya know, like a praying mantis--then perhaps this little bit of JWOWW juice might do the trick. The "Jersey Shore" siren and her hunky beau Roger (who, as far we know, has not fallen victim to her insect kill) have been sparking up their romance at the gun range. How Speidi of them!

According to TMZ.com, Jenni and her man went to Brick Armory indoor shooting range in New Jersey on Monday. There, the tough yet motherly castie fired off several rounds from a .40 caliber Glock, which sounds like a horrendously terrifying piece of weaponry. We're not entirely sure why she's ramping up her self-defense, but maybe it has something to do with her recent run-in with security at Fargo airport in North Dakota?

+ What do you think about JWOWW's new hobby? Are chicks with guns hot, or is this type of date way too violent? Fire at will in the comments!

From the moment I met my cousin's roommate, Devon, there was an instant attraction. Devon was funny, good-looking and such a charmer! He also had a way of getting me to break out of my shell. But while there was chemistry between us, there was also Rory--my first and only boyfriend of five years.

People have conflicting views on Rory's ability to be a good boyfriend, but I can assure you, he is a sweet and lovable guy! Every relationship has its challenges (and we've definitely had more than our fair share), but Rory and I were determined to make it work.

After five years of dating, Rory was anxious to move to the next level--I honestly think we both were. However, I was unsure what that next level would be for me. I had finally come into my own at Vanity Room, I was losing weight and gaining confidence, and actually enjoying Los Angeles! Imagine that?

During tonight's back-to-back episodes of "Chelsea Settles," our feisty young heroine received some unexpected news from her boyfriend, Rory. He was returning from Afghanistan early and wanted her to join him--permanently--in Tennessee.

Had Chelsea received the news a few weeks ago when she wasn't doing well at work and hadn't yet developed strong relationships with people in L.A., the answer may have been obvious; but that's not the case now. In fact, she's feeling pretty clueless about what to decide. After all, Chelsea is waist-deep in proving herself promotion-worthy at The Vanity Room and getting closer with her inspiring roommate Jenna every day. How could she possibly leave everything that she fought so hard to get?

+ It's still not clear what Chelsea's going to do, but what do you think? Should she pack up and join the man she's been with for five years, or stay in California and continue pursuing her dreams? Take the poll, then sound off in the comments about whether you've ever had to make such a big decision!
