Vinny puts on his game face at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards.
Ever since we leaked a photo of Vinny Guadagnino and Matt Lanter lounging poolside, you've all been anxiously awaiting the "Jersey Shore" thespian's debut on the CW's hit show "90210." Lucky for you, today we have another nifty treat: a sneak peek of the actual episode, which is slated to air next Tuesday at 8/7c. In it, Pauly D's other half plays Vinnie G. (they couldn't come up with anything else?), a cocky celebrity with a bit of a gambling problem. If you caught Vin's shining moment on MTV's "Hard Times," it'll be interesting to see how the two characters compare.
+ Check out the preview below and let us know if you're going to tune in to watch the budding actor do his thing!

Earlier in the week, we showed you the wide array of over-the-top dresses Liz had to choose from for prom night with Bryson Sully. Overexposed skin and sequins weren't exactly her style, and to be honest, we also tend to appreciate a more reserved (i.e. less naked/glittery) look. So that's why we put together our picks for best and worst dresses in the history of teen TV shows -- because we'd hate for you to end up at your own big night feeling like this.
THE WORST OF THE WORST
Brooke Davis' silky red number on One Tree Hill's "Prom Night At Hater High" episode included an element of surprise -- and smut -- under black light.
If 90210's Silver's dress were white, we'd definitely mistake her for a way-too-young bride (or out-of-place Cinderella) rather than the saucy, daring chick she really is. Life's not a fairytale, ladies. Dress accordingly.
In Smallville's "Spirit" episode, Lois swapped in a bustier and skirt for the traditional one-piece attire -- and we kind of really hate it. A lot. Especially since it's got a million rhinestones. And because Lois isn't supposed to be a washed up local pageant winner.
After the jump, check out our votes for best-dressed.
