Beyoncé performs on "Good Morning America," the "Jersey" girls strike a pose and Anne Hathaway gets snapped at the "One Day" premiere.

"I think JWOWW is amazing. She's intense. See, JWOWW to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend."

Snooki said it? Maybe Deena is guilty of such kind words? Nahh, kid--Ms. Oscar host, herself, Anne Hathaway, let that praise slip from her highly kissable lips earlier this week on "Chelsea Lately." And she's not the only Tinseltowner to gush over the guidos/guidettes from Seaside Heights. As it turns out, some of the biggest and brightest have a soft spot for "Jersey Shore"...and why shouldn't they? See for yourself which stars have gone on the record as being superfans:

Here we are, already at Week 8 of "ABDC"'s Season of the Superstars! Three crews remain in the running for the coveted title of "America's Best Dance Crew" and accompanying $100,000 cash prize: Boston's Phunk Phenomenon, Jersey's Iconic Boyz and Houston's IaMMe.

For this week's challenge, "ABDC" alumni Poreotix delivered what Mario Lopez called "the most difficult challenge of the season": each crew had to incorporate three classic moves (The Dougie, Boogaloo and Isos) into their Kanye West performance. One crew will be eliminated tonight, and at the end of the show, the remaining two will have their last chance to dance before final viewer voting takes place.

ABDC Insider Layla Kayleigh checked in with the crews backstage as they prepared to show their wares. Think any of them got a wink of sleep this week? Find out here:

The last time we spotted pictures of Whitney Port, she was posing in her undies for Maxim magazine, but on New Year's Eve, she proved that she looks just as good when dressed to the nines. At The Cosmopolitan Hotel's star-studded New Year's Eve Bash (Jay-Z, Kanye West and Chris Martin of Coldplay put on a private show), Whit posed for photographers in a dazzling emerald green dress with poufy shoulders, nude heels and an abstract gold necklace.

+ Are you digging Whitney's shiny frock, or is there too much metallic mania? Sound off in the comments!

When you've got a factory full of crazy clothes, life-size cartoon mini-me's and regulation jockey jerseys silks, throwing together a last-min Halloween costume is no big deal.

We all know Stephanie Pratt and Lauren Conrad went to fashion school together, but -- as avid Hills watchers recall -- that's not the first time those two ladies met. In fact, LC's initial introduction to Steph (then known simply as "She-Pratt") took the form of a tense, dimly lit shouting match at Club Something Or Other.

And we're pretty sure Steph was 'bout to get into all that on today's Wendy Williams Show -- when the host decided to interrupt with her own (semi-accurate) vershe of events. Hear Wendy Williams (or, as we like to call her, the "Kanye" of daytime TV) explain how Spencer's sis ended up on The Hills and be sure to take a mental picture of Steph's face when Wendy starts talking dollah dollah bills ...

We loved seeing John Mayer swing by the Factory tonight. In fact, we liked it so much we're pretty sure he needs to start hanging around full-time. Below, the top five reasons we think Mayer should give up the Grammy's -- and become Rob Dyrdek's next mini-mogul.

Reason #5. A foam pit heals all wounds. *(Except concussions).

Reason #4. Mellow pop rock and fart jokes go together like Taylor and Kanye.

Reason #3. The public has a right to know John Mayer's spirit animal.

Reason #2. It's about time the Fantasy Factory went green.

Reason #1. Mayer's the only man alive who can tell Chanel her "body is a wonderland" ... without getting slapped.

We already showed ya pics of Lauren Conrad, Stephanie Pratt and Kristin Cavallari struttin' their stuff on the VMAs red carpet. So where was King Spencer during the biggest photo op of the year? At home with the wifey, natch. But don't worry -- Spence still managed to start up tons o' controversy from his couch by live-blogging the show on Twitter.

Not only did dude join the zillions of Twitterati (and, um, sitting U.S. Presidents) in slamming Kanye West for hijacking the mic, but he also dissed Green Day, poked fun at Lil Mama's surprise cameo and taunted LC about having to watch K-Cav present during the show.

So what exactly DID the royal Pratt have to say 'bout all the awards show action? After the jump, check out a few of his best one-liners. Team Taylor, y'all!

Sunday night's VMAs were filled with some stellar entertainment, from Janet Jackson's MJ tribute to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' spine-chilling performance of "Empire State Of Mind." And, oh yeah, who can forget Lil Mama jumping on stage like a metal head at a Motley Crue concert?

We hit up the remaining three crews in rehearsals today to ask about the moments that stood out to them most. Check out what everyone had to say:

In reference to Kanye West's abrupt interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech, Massive Monkee Brysen Angeles commented, "As an artist you can't deny Kanye, but as a person ... what kind of person does that?" On the plus side, Brysen walked away from the VMAs a bigger fan of Beyonce Knowles, who later in the night stepped aside to allow Taylor her moment.

"[Lady Gaga] is too out there for me," We Are Heroes Ali Iannucci told us. "I feel like she's trying too hard." A nearby Hiroka Mcrae added, "Beyonce was my favorite! Every time they showed her, I got excited!" But Hiroka had a similar reaction as Ali to Lady Gaga -- apparently the gory performance gave her nightmares!

Finally, AfroBorike's Miguel A. Reyes Santiago only had eyes for Ms. Jackson. "Janet's performance was great. She really did an amazing job," he said in mid-rehearsal.

You Tell Us: What did you think was the most memorable moment of this year's VMAs?

The VMAs always bring out the biggest stars, and last night the Hillzies were there in droves, with everyone -- 'cept Speidi and Audrina Patridge -- getting in on the Radio City action.

And with everyone from LC to Stacie the Bartender on hand to witness Kanye's mic-snatching mo with Taylor Swift, the pre-show action was almost as sweet as Russell Brand's one-liners.

So what'd the Hills gals do (besides show off their most uh-MAZE-ing red carpet looks yet)? Well, for starters, Lauren Conrad chilled with Lo Bosworth backstage (and spent some QT with the Moonman) while her old pal Kristin Cavallari denied rumors that she scared 'Drina away from her presenting duties.

Check out these red carpet pix of our gals looking gorge, plus get a glimpse of Stephanie's 10-inch heels(!), hear K-Cav's pre-show predictions (she's Team 'Ye, y'all) and watch Kristin present the Best Pop Video Award with a lil help from Nelly Furtado!
