MTV Remote Control Blog › Angelina Jolie

We haven't spent a considerable amount of time reporting on Hollywood's A-list super couple, Brangelina, but we totally get why the talented pair have become a tabloid favorite. For one thing, they're both sickeningly beautiful. And so are their kids, of which keep multiplying. They also have enough money between them to build a small village for the underprivileged; in fact, they're probably already working on that.

Because we're the official MTV show blog, we've spent much more time following the romance highs and lows of another "it" couple: Sammi and Ronnie, who recently made it clear during the "Jersey Shore Hook-Up: Live Edition" that they were putting the breaks on their relationship. For now, it seems they've been living separate lives (sniff)--Ronnie's gotten into modeling and Sam's just been laying low. But that doesn't mean the two have stopped thinking about each other, which is evident in Ron's recent interview with Latina.com, where he compares SamRon's media attention to that of Tinseltown's heavy-hitters, Brangelina. "Me and Sam are like the new Brad and Angelina; we're like Hollywood's couple," he says in the video below.

+ What do you think about Ronnie's bold statement? Are SamRon as big as Brangelina, or is he way off? Take the poll and weigh in!

Audrina Patridge poses for the paps at Belvedere's RED launch last week.

If you were hoping for a second helping of Patridge family discord, we're sorry to say you're out of luck. Audrina Patridge's time as a leading lady in reality TV seems to have come to an end, according to The Hollywood Reporter, but don't extend your heartfelt condolences just yet. It seems 'Drina is more than OK with her VH1 show's short run and has more ambitious goals for the future.

"I’d love to do a period piece, medieval, like 'Troy,' " Audrina told THR, and added that she sees herself joining the ranks of Angelina Jolie and Judi Dench. "I would love to get dressed up in costumes and talk in an accent and film in another country."

Interest: piqued. So without further adieu, here are four historical heroines--real and fictional--Audrina Patridge needs to play on the silver screen:

Are you EVER going to get married? This is the main question that's plagued Brangelina for years (aside from Are you planning to adopt an entire village?), and it seems that fans of the fairy-tale couple will finally get an answer--and soon! According to PerezHilton.com, Brad and Angie are planning to get hitched at their French château in September.

In honor of the soon-to-be husband and wife, we've rounded up some MTV duos that we think should take a cue from them and tie the knot. Let's have a look:

SAMMI AND RONNIE of "Jersey Shore"
Perhaps MTV's most infamous breakup-to-makeup couple, Sammi and Ronnie's love has crossed over into multiple states and even another country--by that count alone they should face the music and sign a marriage certificate. This way, the next time Ron has a temper tantrum and wants to wreck havoc in the bedroom, he'll (hopefully) resist the temptation because it'll be joint property.

SNOOKI and VINNY of "Jersey Shore"
Yeah, we know she's probably still dating Jionni what's-his-face, but they already broke up once this summer, and judging by the sour face she made during their Seaside rendezvous, we're putting our money on Snooks and Vin eventually taking a walk down the aisle. Thing is, she's had to be the aggressor in the past, so to lock this down she might have to be the one to get down on her knee. (Not, not knees, you filthy animals.)

AUDRINA PATRIDGE AND COREY BOHAN formerly of "The Hills"
Weeks after discovering naked photos of other girls on her boyfriend Corey's phone, the two reconciled and were spotted having a romantic picnic lunch. If scandalous pics aren't enough to split these lovestruck kids apart, then they're destined to be together. How about a double wedding with Kristin Cavallari and her man?

LIZ LEE AND SULLY from "My Life As Liz"
What greater story than that of best friends ultimately becoming lovahs? Sully's been secretly pining over his bestie for the past two seasons, and Liz has to know--it's so obvious! We not-so-secretly believe that she feels the same way about him; she's just been holding back. Enough already... Let's do this! Who needs Bryson, anyway?

KENNY AND EVAN from "The Challenge: Rivals"
We're total saps for a good healthy bromance, and Kenny and Evan's fondness for one another has been known to choke us up. We've loved them ever since they made their MTV debut on "Fresh Meat," and their bond just keeps on growing. Never stray, boys!

+ Who do you think should enter marital bliss next? Sound off in the comments about our picks!

Viewers of "Teen Mom" know Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell as four young women struggling to make ends meet and straighten out their personal relationships while taking on the huge responsibility of raising a child--yet since Season 2 premiered, the girls have unintentionally assumed another unexpected role: that of the celebrity.

An article in USA Today reports that Amber--whose love life and recent troubles with the law have been the cover subject of multiple tabloids--actually surpassed Angelina Jolie and Prince William in terms of media exposure during the month of October. Farrah had to fend off an upsetting rumor that she's pregnant again, while Maci keeps hearing about some nonexistent new reality show she's doing with Bristol Palin.

Fans of the show, as well as psychologists, have mixed opinions about the teen moms' fame. On one hand, they're showing a broad audience the many difficulties that come along with teen and unplanned pregnancy, but on the flip side, some people feel the attention is giving the audience the impression that having a baby at a young age can be glamorous. And then there's the matter of how the cast member's children are being affected by all this media chaos.

+ We want to hear what you have to say about the issue. Should the press stop scrutinizing Amber, Maci, Farrah and Catelynn, or do you think it's important that their lives be reported on outside of their MTV series? Sound off in the poll!

Tonight's much-anticipated "Hills" premiere was a bit of a bummer. Not because it didn't deliver the drama or hold our attention -- it did that 10-fold -- but because it was actually painful to hear Heidi Pratt confess to having little confidence prior to her plastic surgeries.

Doesn't just about every late-bloomer stuff her bra when she's younger? (Maybe not with "water balloons," but still...) Don't many women feel fat/fug once in a while, even to the point of obsessing over diet and exercise? But at what point does this type of body-consciousness cross the line from normal female behavior into something that greatly affects your self-esteem, as well as your relationships with loved ones?

For "Hills" fans who don't get a chance to watch MTV's "True Life" series, a few weeks ago we aired an episode entitled "True Life: I Hate My Face." It featured two young women with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), a condition described by the Mayo Clinic as "a type of chronic mental illness in which you can't stop thinking about a flaw with your appearance -- a flaw either that is minor or that you imagine." At the end of the doc, neither girl was "cured" of her BDD (or even became more comfortable in her own skin) despite undergoing plastic surgery.

By no means are we diagnosing Heidi with BDD -- we're not doctors. Plus, as she said in tonight's show, she's never been happier. Unfortunately, it's probable that many viewers who watched the episode or have been following Heidi's transformation do in fact suffer from BDD, so we thought it was important to help raise awareness and point out resources.

Our outsides matter very much in America -- we're not approving or condemning it, rather simply acknowledging it. The closest thing we have to royalty are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, two of the most attractive people you could ever lay eyes upon, but the vast majority of us don't look like glamorous celebrities. By now, we've put superstars like "Brangelina" on such a pedestal and on the covers of so many magazines that they've ceased to be real people. So here we are, getting real and suggesting you do some research, talk to a friend and/or seek professional help if you suspect you may have BDD.

Heidi Pratt's made no secret of how hard she worked to get her bod Playboy ready. But after seeing these pics of her hubby, Spencer (nice lats, dude!), we're thinking she's not the only one who's been hittin' the gym. Yep, less than 24 hours after Heidi's Miss Universe debut, Spencer rolled through LAX airport security with a coupla not-so-concealed weapons underneath his shirt. (Wait, is this Southern California or Muscle Beach??)

So what's he been doing besides pumping iron? That'd be writing the book on How To Be Famous. (Yes, really.) And FYI, he's already raised some eyebrows by saying he's ready to become the next Brad Pitt.

"There literally is not another situation in the history of Hollywood where a man left a woman as beloved as Jennifer Aniston for someone like Angelina Jolie (a home-wrecking head case) and still ended up the good guy," the Hills baddie sez in his book (due out next November). "We salute you, Mr. Pitt!"

Does what happens in Hawaii stay in Hawaii? Probs not when The Hills cameras are recording the juiciest bits -- for instance, when BRODY CHEATED ON HIS GF WITH AUDRINA!

While we're proud of the two culprits for at least copping to their party foul, that doesn't excuse the suckiness that's sure to ensue when Jayde discovers her boyfriend was unfaithful. And what about 'Drina's part in all of this? She's not exactly innocent.

But here's our 'lil conundrum: Brody's really hot. We know you think so, too. And it's possible that maybe if we were drinking some alcoholic bevs, like, under the stars on a super romantical beach, we might fall prey to the temptation of a taken man who we've always had a crush on -- and who's looking at us like he wants it (bad!). We know, we're "uncool" like Jen Aniston said about Angelina Jolie, but be honest here: Might you have done the same thing if put in Audrina's place? Take the poll!
