Last we heard, the SamRon unit had disintegrated into two separate entities. Springtime in Florence did the contentious couple well, but at the "Jersey Shore Hook-Up: Live Edition," Sammi and Ronnie admitted their return to Seaside Heights--and reality--thrust them back into old habits and yet another split. According to HollywoodLife.com, though, bachelorhood isn't really cutting it for Ron, who is reportedly depressed without his "Sweetheart" by his side.

A source of the website says that Ronnie was a complete wallflower while out partying this weekend, adding that "Single Ronnie," who's typically all over the guidettes when flying solo, was nowhere in sight. "He had tons of girls trying to get all over him. But he refused all advances and everyone was saying that he missed Sammi." That can't possibly be the same guy that once gave his gal a ride on the boxspring express, can it?

+ Think Ron is really broken up without Sam, or is the rumor mill churning out unreliable info? Take the poll!

Casey Reinhardt, the new girl on "Laguna Beach" in 2005, and now, as a cupcake entrepreneur.

Just a short time after Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari went rounds over Stephen Colletti, the Season 2 cast of "Laguna Beach" captivated viewers as they partied like privileged rock stars during their senior year of high school. For the Class of 2005, the final chapter of life at LBHS was anything but business as usual, though, thanks in part to Casey Reinhardt, the perfectly manicured new girl with a sweet smile and an unfortunate skill for drawing gossip from her peers. Luckily, the rumor mill couldn't do enough to knock her off balance.

Currently, Reinhardt's "Casey's Cupcakes" is one of the most popular bakeries in the OC, and its operator's recipes with a twist--including the chili chocolate cupcake--made her the champion of the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" in February. When she's not in the kitchen, Reinhardt is busy overseeing her namesake charity, which has provided children with tools to further their education for nearly a decade. Take a look at what she told Remote Control below, and make sure to check out her website for info on her mouth-watering pastries.

You were the new girl on "Laguna Beach"--how did you wind up on the show?
MTV initially approached both me and my brother, Doug, but he went on to play professional baseball. [Producers] continued to pursue me, and I then transferred from my private school to LBHS. I am so happy I did it because now I have my senior year in a video scrapbook.

Thanksgiving means a lot of things to a lot of people: Pie baking can prove soothing for overworked parents, touch football in the backyard offers much-needed family bonding time and even the most ardent cynics share some sort of gratitude when the turkey is done and the tryptophan starts to kick in. So when MTV personality Kurt Loder asked Beavis and Butt-Head a while back for their take on the holiday, it wasn't a huge surprise that even they had a sincere sentiment. Granted, it amounted to appreciating stuffing for its proximity to a turkey's ass, but still...

Watch the clip below for a trip down memory lane, when Beavis and Butt-Head's vulgarity was only matched by their crudeness. Quite a far cry from what we've come to expect from the great Cornholio and his partner in crime. Oh, no--wait, it's exactly what we've come to expect, and if you ask us, there's nothing that warrants more gratefulness. Happy T-Gives, all!

When we first met Captain Dashell and the rest of the "Death Valley" gang, we knew there'd be bloodshed to come. But nothing could have possibly prepared us for how much. It'll be nice to make it through future Mondays without needing a barf bag, but we'll surely miss the crew that's kept SoCal safe throughout the past 12 weeks.

In honor of tonight's final episode of "DV," we thought it was only fitting to put together the finest and most dry heave-inducing kills from the season. From knives to skin-crisping UV rays, and cuts across the neck to a light bulb through the heart, here are our picks:

1. Aurora Sees the Light: After John-John's nasty accident left him bedridden, a kind nurse named Aurora seemed eager to help him recover. But when Natalie and Carla caught the vengeful vampire trying to off the officer while he was asleep, the two KO'd the pointy-toothed chick with a combo light bulb-through-the-heart/strangulation via balloon string.

There's no doubt that Rob Dyrdek has been working diligently to find some of the best amateur videos around the internets, but there were a few amusing clips we think he overlooked during the latest episode of "Ridiculousness." We want to make sure that you don't miss a single bit of stupidity, so here are four more of the wildest happenings on the web (one is even fan-submitted!).

Ever since People magazine announced Bradley Cooper as this year's Sexiest Man Alive (simultaneously crushing all Ryan Gosling fans), we've been wondering who MTV fans would vote as the all-time sexiest guy on the network. We searched high and low to come up with this list of dudes, and we're now calling on YOU to pick who should be crowned MTV's Sexiest Man Alive! Have a looksie:

Eric Nies, "Real World: New York "
Even though this "Real World" old-schooler went on to do the dirty hippie thing, he set the standard of what to expect from all of our MTV studs. His sexy--and often shirtless--look has been copied by countless reality stars (see below) to this day, and for that, he deserves a nomination.

Danny Roberts, "Real World: New Orleans"
Danny was the kindhearted cutie who had a boyfriend in the military during the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" era. His gorgeous smile and twinkling eyes melted the hearts of guys and girls alike. And, he was so popular that he nabbed a guest-starring role on the biggest teen show of that time, "Dawson's Creek." Let's hope we see him on our TV screens again someday!

Brody Jenner, "The Hills"
LC and K-Cav were smitten with Brody during their time on the series, and we can see why. The attractive socialite had a wicked sense of humor, which came in handy when fending off Speidi. After "The Hills," Brody moved on to pop tart Avril Lavigne, whom he now defends with blood and honor.

Neither the bite of a homeless man nor the weight gained as consequence of an all-fast food diet has brought Beavis and Butt-Head any further along on their relentless quest to get some action with the opposite sex. But when an oil spill leaves a gaggle of local birds covered in muck, it looks like the two volunteer environmentalists might finally see their dreams realized.

B&B ready their green thumbs in this sneak peek of next week's all-new episode (sorry, guys, no episode this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday), in which the best buds give volunteering a shot to impress a busty Greenpeace export. When the woman demonstrates her method of scrubbing down the oil-soaked birds, Beavis and Butt-Head become entranced by what's behind her tank top, and powerless over their impulses to reach out and get four handfuls. Per the usual, the boys are left high and dry.

+ Check out the clip below for the latest in gentlemanly etiquette, and catch "Beavis and Butt-Head" when it returns to the airwaves next Thursday, Dec. 1 at 10/9c.

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler enjoy a night out in the Miami heat earlier this year.

When Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler called off their engagement this summer, prompting the former "Hills" beauty to compete in "Dancing With The Stars," the split seemed pretty decisive. But when the Bears QB was caught in the audience of "DWTS" in support of his ex, we knew something was up.

If Life & Style's sources are correct, then so were our instincts--the mag reported earlier today that the wedding is back on! Guess it's time to re-reference that registry, gift-returners.

The pair were originally set to tie the knot next summer but announced they had split in July. Signs that they might have resumed dating started to pop up soon after, though, and the separation (possibly paired with Cutler's season-ending broken thumb) finally proved too much to bear, as CutVallari is said to be all-systems-go once again.

Think these two will make it to that little chapel luxury resort's ostentatious function hall this time around? We certainly hope so, and in the event things go as planned, let's keep our fingers crossed the matrimony lasts longer than 72 days...

UPDATE: Looks like L&S might've jumped the gun on this one. Kristin just told Access Hollywood that she is very much un-engaged, noting "I’d be wearing my ring if that was the case." Well, here's hoping she gets it back some day...

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Heath Statistics released new data for 2010 that shows a 9 percent decrease in the U.S. teen birthrate, now making it the lowest level ever reported. This is also the biggest one-year drop in teen births documented since 1946. Can we get a "Heygirlhey!" up in here?

We English majors don't get along too well with numbers, but we can say with utmost certainty that 9 percent equals a whole lot of teens that now have a much greater opportunity of graduating from high school, going to college, achieving financial independence, and one day, providing a stable home for a child they are prepared to support in every way.

So is this new figure related in any way to MTV's teen pregnancy programming, which focuses its efforts on showing the harsh truths about unplanned parenthood? Sarah Brown, CEO of The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, thinks it's very possible. Said Brown in a press release, "Teens are being more careful for a number of reasons, including the recession, more media attention to this issue-- including the "'16 and Pregnant'/'Teen Mom' effect‟--and more attention to and investment in evidence-based programs. But at the end of the day, the thanks and admiration go to teens themselves."

You should be proud of yourselves, ladies and gents, for making smarter decisions about sex. Here's to lowering the numbers with each successive year!

The Brodester has a shining moment on the carpet at Columbia Pictures Presents "30 Minutes Or Less."

Reality star Rob Kardashian is currently rehearsing his heart out in a valiant attempt to conquer his "Dancing With The Stars" opponents and take home the highly sought after Mirror Ball trophy, but there's one former contestant that's already thinking about next season's possible batch of challengers.

Late last week, Audrina Patridge called into Ryan Seacrest's radio show to talk about her red carpet duties at the AMAs, as well as offer up some specific opinions as to which celebs could be a great fit for the next "DWTS." According to 'Drina, Brody Jenner, who sustained a bloody face after defending his girlfriend Avril Lavigne during a recent club brawl, should give the ballroom a shot. "They need a guy, I think it would be interesting to watch Brody dance out there," she confidently told the host.
