MTV Remote Control Blog › Paris BFF

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.

Paris Hilton has a new reality TV show, and while it's not on our network, we of course want to support the brilliant mind behind MTV's "Paris Hilton's My New BFF." (Brief tangent: Remember the gender-ambiguous contestant named Onch? He/she now sells accessories at his/her online store! We happen to lurve the undoubtedly Lady Gaga-inspired Meat Cuff.)

Anywho...here are some hot shots of the dazzling heiress reclaiming the red carpet at last night's "The World According to Paris" premiere party. The soiree was held at Tropicana Bar in Hollywood, where throngs of paps showed up to snap pics of Paris posing--and rubbing up against--her boy-toy Cy Waits (who appears to be quite a happy man).

Bad news, all you Greek shipping heirs. Paris Hilton can't seem to stop groping gushing about her main man, Doug Reinhardt, and now the heiress tells Life & Style (according to PopEater) that she might be ready to walk down the aisle with him sometime over the next year!

"I wouldn't rule out a wedding in 2010," Hilton said. "We've been together a year now and never spend a night apart ... He's truly become my best friend. He makes me feel like a princess every day."

This isn't the first time we've heard talk of a Hilton/Reinhardt wedding (the pre-nuptial rumors started as early as last April), but the heiress hasn't sounded this serious about a guy she was dating since, well, the last one. So are the marriage rumors finally legit? Check out these pix of P. Dougie gettin' all domestic last month, then tell us whether you think Paris is ready to take the plunge!

Brittany Flickinger might've been Paris' first new BFF, but she wasn't the best. Despite winning her way into Paris' inner circle, she and P. Hilton eventually parted ways after Paris discovered Brit's secret "hungry tiger" tendencies. Fortch, now the heiress has a real friend in Stephen Hampton, a.k.a. the winner from season two! Not only is dude plugging P's new album on Twitter (and, um, plastering pics of her across his page), but he's also speaking out against his evil predecessor! Check it, y'all.

We knew it! We just KNEW that Paris would realize the error of her ways and crown Stephen her bestie on tonight's finale of BFF! Actually, we didn't ... but we prayed it would happen. And thankfully, even in Reality TV-Land, there are still some happy endings. Check out the blushing bridesmaid's update below to find out how he and his new best friendzie have been bonding since the show wrapped...

Ahhhhhhh! Can you believe it!? I'm Paris' new BFF! It seems like I've been in "somebody pinch me" mode forever ... and it feels so, so good now that everyone can finally know how everything turned out!

The night of the finale was magical. I (along with everyone else) assumed that my BFF Journey had ended. I was very excited to be in the finale and watch as either Tiniecia or Stefanie was crowned the new BFF. I remember when we pulled up in front of Paris' grandparents' house, Desirae turned to me and said, "So how you gonna feel when Paris calls your name tonight and says she wants you to be her new BFF?" I laughed it off and said, "Yeah, right." Little did I know what would happen an hour later.

Of course Tiniecia was disappointed that she wasn't picked to be Paris' BFF (see tonight's finale), but that doesn't mean she's bitter. At all! In fact, we reached out to Tiniecia to find out her feelings on Stephen winning the contest, and she couldn't be happier for him. Check out her update below...

First of all, I would like to thank Paris for having me on her show. It was a wonderful opportunity, and I had a BLAST!!!!! I got to know Paris on a personal level and actually see her for the loving and caring icon she is. The best part of being on the show was that I was blessed to meet some amazing people who I will always keep in my circle.

Watching the show opened my eyes to how straightforward I am as a person. I loved how I acted and wouldn’t change or take back anything. It's why I'm the strong and successful woman I am today. Some viewers considered me GHETTO. If they only knew ... I am far from ghetto. That is just their lack of knowledge about me. I am a ‘country girl,’ and if speaking with a Southern twang makes me ghetto, then those viewers have a lot to learn. I am a Well-Educated, Gorgeous, Classy, Original and Tenacious individual. I am a wonderful person once you get to know me. Like I've always said, "You're either going to love me then hate me or hate me then love me."

I’m happy with Paris’ decision to choose Stephen (my baby) as her new BFF. Stephen and I always said when we were in the top three that as long as it was out of the two of us, we were okay. Stephen and I are both loving and caring people who will always have Paris’ best interest at heart. So choosing Stephen was great for her. Honestly, every female should have a gay friend, because gay friends are so much fun. You can have girl talk about other guys, shop together and do each other’s make-up ... and most of all, you always have someone to tell you if your man is on the down low. (LOL) I love Stephen and I always will.

Although I didn’t win the title of 'Paris Hilton’s New BFF,' she and I are still close friends. Like Paris said, I’m a leader and a strong confident woman that isn’t scared of a challenge. So thank you, Paris, for seeing me as the positive woman that I am. Now let me share some words about the special people that I met...
