MTV Remote Control Blog › Brad Pitt

With "Battle of the Exes" premiering Wednesday, we couldn't help but think about other former celebrity couples who might benefit from being teamed up together. Perhaps by spending time in close quarters, they could finally work through the bad mojo that split them up in the first place and rekindle the happier times. Or even better, entertain us with the nonstop drama that would surely come from being forced to live together. Here, six ex supercouples we think should appear on the show.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
These two only managed to stay married for 72 days, so how long would they last as teammates? (We think 72 minutes.) As for how they would fare in the competition, Kris is a big dude--not to mention a pro-baller--so he would have a definite height advantage over the other guys, but Kim's diva attitude would probably get them sent to the The Dome right away.

Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne
As we reported earlier this month, the former "Hills" hunk and his pop star girlfriend went splitskies. Since their friends have said a reconciliation is possible, competing on "The Challenge" could be just what they need to bring them back together. In our dreams, the duo would square off in The Dome against Brody's other famous ex, Lauren Conrad, and her former flame Jason Wahler. Imagine the drama!

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!

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!

For some people, landing that first job is a momentous occasion. For others it's just a necessary (and humbling) step on the way to something greater. We're only hours away from the premiere of "Hired," a new show that pits three contestants against one another in a fight for a single job -- so let's celebrate by remembering five celebrities and their hilarious first gigs (hey, ya gotta start somewhere, even if it's wayyyy at the bottom). Plus, we've got five of the funniest stars-who-got-canned stories. Apparently losing a minimum wage job doesn't mean you can't one day make millions!

5 CELEBS' FIRST JOBS
Johnny Depp
Back before the internet was born and spammers became the world's foremost marketers of things no one needs, people used to sell stuff over the telephone. Johnny Depp was one of those people. He peddled ballpoint pens and says he never made a single sale. Depp's friend Nic Cage eventually suggested he try acting, and apparently that gig worked out better.

Danny DeVito
Before he was the famous midget-size actor with a pot belly and bald head, Danny DeVito was "Mr. Danny" ... the hairstylist. His stint at his sister's salon didn't last long, though, as he soon felt the pull of the camera. Too bad he didn't have a first job more applicable to his later life. You know, like a car waxer.

Whoopi Goldberg
She wasn't always the successful comedian (and dancing nun) we know and love. Whoopi Goldberg was once a makeup artist -- to the dead! That's right, Goldberg worked in a mortuary where she applied makeup to expired bodies to make them look, well, more alive. These days she lends the skills she learned in that job to help out her cohost Barbara Walters. (Yep, we had to go there.)

Brad Pitt
When you've got a face like Brad Pitt, you don't have to do much to make money. But even Pitt's face didn't help sell fast food. That's why his bosses at El Pollo Loco made him cover up his glorious jawline with a chicken suit. That's right, Brad Pitt used to dance around in fake feathers trying to sell drumsticks.

Eva Mendes
For most people, selling hot dogs in a mall would be the most embarrassing job they ever held. But Eva Mendes, who was a frank vendor before she she became an actress, was in 2007's "Ghost Rider," which makes working as a hot dog vendor seem downright honorable.

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.

Late last week, we put together a mock list of items the Jersey Shore crew should pack for Season 2. Maybe Pauly D was mad at us for ignoring his beauty needs, because this photo just popped up on his Twitter, with the following caption: "I Think Im Good For At Least The First Week Of Season 2 !!!!!" Hells yeah, he is! (Sorry for the oversight, Pauly.)

+ Just askin': Anyone curious to see what Pauly D would look like without all the goop? Brad Pitt circa 1997?

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!"
