We knew Starmaker's ChristopherJohn looked familiar. But it wasn't til this week's fashion challenge that we finally recognized him ... as Chris Brown's long lost twin.

Imagine you're Jasmine. You're the prima ballerina at a school where everyone's the bomb, and Tyler, the cute, new (pre-scandal) Chris Brown lookalike you've been crushing on tells you he really, really likes you. (Fact: he even almost-kissed you at the school dance!)

Sound perfect? Well, not quite. While you're floating on air, giggling with your girlfriends and flipping through bridal magazines (what? it never hurts to look!), imagine said boy runs off and KISSES SOME OTHER GIRL.

Peep these scenes from tomorrow night's Taking the Stage and find out what happens when everyone in your entire school finds out you just got played ...

After crashing The Definition's zombie dance rehearsal (and picking up on the "get lost" vibe Malik was putting out), Tyler wisely decided he'd rather start a crew of his own. So he hit up Party City, grabbed a couple of mime costumes and started doing air flares while the rest of his group yelled "We 'bout to make it rain, BLACK style!"

And, in a weird way, it sort of worked!

Natch, Malik's squad had longer to prepare for the talent show (they hit the stage in full Halloween makeup, with a routine liberally inspired by Rihanna's "Disturbia" vid), but in the end, Black Rain (and Chris Brown!) triumphed, and Malik made shocked faces and shrieked at the unfairness of it all.

+ Think the judges got it right by giving Tyler's crew the higher marks? Or did they simply fail to appreciate the amazingness of The Definition's third-hand reinterpretation of "Thriller?" Take our poll and let us which dancers had the best moves!

In a word ... no. "Everyone loved the first show, so why not do a second one?" Brittany recently told E! Online when asked about Paris' latest project: a televised search for her brand-new London-based bestie. "I mean, why hang out just the two of us?" added P. Hilton's (current) BFF. "The more, the merrier, ya know?"

We know! And we totally hope you're right, Brit. Otherwise, we have a feeling your red carpet days will be deader than disco Chris Brown's career.

+ Think Brit's about to become yesterday's news? Or is there more than enough Paris to go around? Let us know whether you guys think Brittany's days as Paris' pet are officially numbered.

Tila Tequila's new book may be best known for its sexpert relationship advice and do-it-yourself dating aphorisms (i.e. "F--- like a porn star") but apparently, it's also the perfect platform for instigating one-sided feuds with international superstars.

According to MediaTakeOut.com, the reality has-been/Shot at Love alum found time to blast Rihanna in between chapters, calling the singer "packed," "unoriginal" and "f---ing boring."

When reached for response, a nonplussed Rihanna quietly ignored the snipe, put on one of her 800 designer frocks and went about her daily routine of churning out successive number one hits, making oodles and oodles of money and dating drop-dead gorge megastar Chris Brown.

We already knew LC and the rest of the Hills gang would be ruling the red carpet at tonight's VMAs. But we didn't expect to see her handing out a Moonman with Gossip Girl hottie Chace Crawford! (OMFG!) In case you missed the pre-show festivities -- and LC/Chace handing out the award for "Best New Artist" -- here's what we learned:

• That whole "Don't wear white after Labor Day" thing is a load of bull. Lauren looked slamming in her uber-glam, white-as-snow red carpet gown. Guess that means there's new hope for our pearly white capris! (UPDATE: Capris are out. We've been informed that they "make [us] look like [we] have cankles.")

• Lauren loves Rihanna and Chris Brown's style. Hear that, guys? LC luuuurves you. If there an award for "Best-Dressed Couple Who Won't Confirm They're Actually Dating", you two would be a shoo-in!

• She's not scared of running into Heidi on the red carpet. Sez Lauren, "I kinda just show up and do my thing." And it looks as though there won't be a confrontation tonight. At least, not unless the VMAs after-party is in L.A. At Area.

• She got to touch Bill Kaulitz of Tokio Hotel. Anyone know how to say "Back off, girl, he's mine" in German?
