The "Teen Wolf" cast laughs the night away at the 2011 VMAs.

MTV talent cleans up real good, as evidenced by their VMA fashion on tonight's black carpet. But the VMAs are more than just a runway show--it's a time for the music industry's most talented to be celebrated and stars from each of our series to remind the world why they were first casted. Answer: THEY'RE CHARMING AS ALL GET OUT. Here are just a few of the memorable things overheard as everyone arrived on the scene.

"Is it a full moon? I might wolf out when Lady Gaga performs." --Better-when-shirtless Tyler Posey from "Teen Wolf," on whether there would be any crazy wolf attacks during the show.

"Mmmrp mmmrp mmmrp."--Woman of subtlety and code speech Deena from "Jersey Shore," as she pressed her Rainbow Brite-buttocks up against Red Carpet Report host Kreayshawn.

5 Most Memorable 'RW/RR' Challengers Of All Time

Posted 3/31/10 3:30 pm ET by Rebecca Brown in Fresh Meat II, Top TV Shows

By now you should have lots of info (cast pics, video, etc.) to prepare for the April 7 premiere of "The Challenge: Fresh Meat II." But you can't really enjoy what's in front of you unless you can look back at how you got there, right? For all of the "Real World/Road Rules: Challenge" die-hard fans (and even some of you newcomers), here's our list -- which is always subject to change -- of the five most memorable (that means best AND worst) challengers of all time.

BETH
Team Worst
A notorious veteran hailing all the way back from "Real World: Los Angeles," Beth’s competed in so many challenges that we've completely lost track (it may or may not be seven). One thing's for sure: Most people couldn't stand her!
Most Memorable Moment: When she matched up with Coral in the "Gauntlet III" for a good ol' Ball Brawl. (Runner-up Moment: When Tonya tossed all of Beth's clothes into the pool during "Inferno II.")

CORAL
Team Best
Most of the challengers would say they’ve been on Coral’s bad super scary evil side at some point, but this F-bomb dropping in-your-face warrior knows how to make alliances with the big guys to stay on top.
Most Memorable Moment: Her ego was totally deflated when a game-changing spider bite stopped her from finishing the "Gauntlet" final challenge.

JOHNNY BANANAS
Team Worst
He might be a big man on campus, but pretty much everyone has -- at some point -- cursed this man to no end for his inability to be, well, nice.
Most Memorable Moment: He spent almost the entirety of "The Island" exploring every expletive in the book and attacking sensitive, visor-sporting Evelyn, only to hold her hand at the end to take home the prize money.

RACHEL
Team Best
She’s always been the all-around badass MVP that kicked major booty during the challenges and made smart alliance-related decisions.
Most Memorable Moment: Rachel got down and dirty with best pal Jenn on "The Island," giving new meaning to the term "friends with benefits." Plus, she totally strung Aneesa along afterward!

COHUTTA
Team Best
This Southern charmer got his heart broken by KellyAnne but always managed to be in her corner when she needed it.
Memorable Moment: After losing to Darrell on "The Ruins," the shy guy shocked everyone when he waltzed up to Susie and laid a big fat kiss on her. Suze was totally smitten.
