Onch as a 'BFF' contestant in 2008, and now, as a popular jewelry designer.
When Onch told MTV.com in 2008 that his favorite color was "rainbow," he'd said it all. The Hacienda, Calif., native had more than a colorful personality; he had a penchant for accessories and outfits that would make a kaleidoscope cry out in envy. Onch was a character through and through, and he quickly became someone Paris Hilton could depend on while competing for her friendship on the first season of "Paris Hilton's My New BFF." Things weren't all Technicolor roses, though.
While Onch generally sat in Hilton's good graces, his fellow competitors didn't always hold him in as high esteem, and after he was voted one of the "fakest" in the house, Hilton eliminated him from the competition. Still, she sent him off with a "TTYS," rather than the standard "TTYN," which translated to "See you soon, bitch."
Now, Onch's jewelry line, OnchMovement, is in high demand in the weird, wide world of Hollywood, and by some definite A-listers. Remember Nicki Minaj's infamous pink drumstick necklace? Yeah, that was Onch's piece. His website is loaded with food-for-jewelry in every conceivable hue or shade--lime green pretzels and the perfectly portioned wearable pizza slice are the new floating diamonds, we hear.
Below, check what the vibrant MTV alum told Remote Control and see his recipe for the perfect piece of jewelry. Plus, follow his Twitter account for the latest in the design world!
How did you wind up on “BFF?"
I was out at some bar when the casting agent saw me and asked if I would be interested in being on the show. At first I said no, but after thinking it over, I thought that shooting a TV show would be a super fun experience. With that and my extreme love of Paris, I decided to do it, and the rest is MTV history!
What were some memorable moments from your time on the show?
The whole experience was like living in a fun sorority house full of hot, crazy girls (all of them crazy and some of them hot). Facing one of my extreme fears, heights and roller coasters, was a memorable life moment for me. The roller coaster challenge was literally my nightmare come true--I still get the chills thinking of that day.

Dear "Jersey Shore" Cast,
A month is a long time to be out of the country with no access to your cell phone or the internet, so now that you're fixin' to leave your fun bubble and head back to The States, we thought we'd help you out with a brief rundown of all the gossip items ya missed while off painting the town in your hairy boots and floppy hats. We're sure you'll miss Florence, but hey, there's never a dull moment here in the pop culture capital of the world!
Your welcs and safe travels,
Remote Control
(Former) Congressman Anthony Weiner's Weiner Made The A-List
After accidentally tweeting to 45,000 followers a lewd pic of his nether-region, the press had a field day with Weiner puns (we're obviously not bored with them yet) and revealed after more digging that he had also "improperly associated" with six women for 3 years via Twitter, Facebook and phone. Government officials--including President Obama--suggested he step down from office, which he did with an earnest public apology. Not since John Wayne Bobbit got his Johnson cut off has genitalia gained such national attention.
Kim Kardashian Got Engaged To A Towel Waver
Following in the footsteps of her sister Khloe, Kim K. accepted a marriage proposal from an NBA player. He's not exactly Lamar Odom material on the court, but The Nets' Kris Humphries proved he could provide Kim with the lifestyle she's used to by slipping a 20-plus-carat diamond onto her precious finger. Wonder which is insured for more: the ring or her ass?
Jennifer Aniston Wrecked A Home
After famously stating that what Angelina Jolie did to her marriage with Brad Pitt was "uncool," Jen went and pulled something similar with longshoreman actor Justin Theroux and his girlfriend of 14 years, Heidi Bivens. Justin, not Heidi (but that would be a neat twist), is reportedly now living with the former "Friends" star and the two were recently caught on film sporting matching jewelry. Can you say "mid-life crisis"?

Paris Hilton has a new reality TV show, and while it's not on our network, we of course want to support the brilliant mind behind MTV's "Paris Hilton's My New BFF." (Brief tangent: Remember the gender-ambiguous contestant named Onch? He/she now sells accessories at his/her online store! We happen to lurve the undoubtedly Lady Gaga-inspired Meat Cuff.)
Anywho...here are some hot shots of the dazzling heiress reclaiming the red carpet at last night's "The World According to Paris" premiere party. The soiree was held at Tropicana Bar in Hollywood, where throngs of paps showed up to snap pics of Paris posing--and rubbing up against--her boy-toy Cy Waits (who appears to be quite a happy man).

There's no greater reflection of success than an honorary passing of the torch pimp cup from Archbishop Don "Magic" Juan, chairman of the board for the Famous Players Club. Known for his flamboyant dressery and generous goblet gifting, he's handed over blinged-out cups to Paris Hilton and Snoop Dogg. And last week, he added Mike "The Situation" to the list. According to RadarOnline.com, Mike's brother also received the decorative prize. "The Situation and his brother were both nominated and elected because of their status with the ladies and with Serious Pimp Clothing Line," a source told the site. (We're also guessing it's because Mike and Magic both both have quotations in their names)
Cheers to you, Mike! Now you have something to drink Devotion Vodka out of!

Following last night's MTV Movie Awards, JWOWW and Snooki hit up Katy Perry's afterparty at John Terzian and Brian Toll's Las Palmas. There, the "Jersey Shore" girls partied it up with their new besties Nicky and Paris Hilton. They showed the A-lister sisters how to fist-pump, posed for pics with each other and then took to Twitter to share. (Does Pauly D know his roomies just hijacked his crush?)
+ What do you think about the new friendly foursome? Want to see more of the Jersey/Hilton fusion or are the "Shore" girls better off on their own? Sound off in the comments!

The MTV Movie Awards is always a unique opportunity for celebs to unwind, wear eccentric outfits they might not normally sport on a red carpet (unless their name is Gaga) and (hopefully!) behave in embarrassing ways that they'll regret later. (Un)Fortunately, our "Hills" and "Jersey Shore" casties were calm, cool and collected ... except when Stephanie Pratt heard her BFF card might get revoked.
Check out the videos below, where Snooki hams it up with Paris Hilton and Snoop Dogg on the red carpet, Lo Bosworth considers asking J. Lo to be her best friend (to Steph's dismay) and Pauly D schools fashion designer Christian Siriano on dressing fresh to death (um, that's like giving Snooki tanning tips!).

Pauly D finally got a chance to come face to face with Paris Hilton and -- we're just gonna come out and say it -- he has us to thank! Nearly three months ago, we took off our journalist hats and slipped on our long black Patti Stanger wigs to play pretend matchmaker. We (yes, we!) drummed up the idea of Pauly and Paris as a pair and even gave them a celebrity couple name: P.Dilt. Pauly D liked the sound of it, too, because he asked us to hook it up.
Well, just this weekend Pauly found his way to Paris in Las Vegas. And by the looks of the snapshot he tweeted (shown above), the two party animals didn't waste time cozying up to each other.

It was nearly two weeks ago when rumored "Hills" returnee Lauren Conrad attended a Reese's event, and it looks like the sweet little liar still has choco on the brain! (Who can blame her?) And she's not the only one feeling preoccupied. Former costar Spencer Pratt is still angrily typing away at celebs, and it sounds like Paris Hilton simply can't keep her eyes off Chelsea Handler's ... boobs.
Check out their Tweets and more from reality stars below:

By now, we assume the recently transplanted "Jersey Shore" crew has scoped out the local Miami flavor, locked in their gym memberships and maybe even created some sort of grenade-dodging cheat sheet. But in case they haven't fit in time to make new friends, we took it upon ourselves to link them up with some important Floridians! Check out who we think they should chillax with:
KHLOÈ and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN (with baby daddy SCOTT DISICK)
Why They'd Hit It Off: Khloè and Kourtney took over South Beach the second their private plane touched down, so they can definitely show the "J. Shore" crew that there's more to nightlife than just neighborhood dive bars. And even though Scott's not the model of stand-up behavior, we would just love to see Pauly D swap his blowout for a slickback and maybe even some sockless loafers (see pic above).
BROOKE HOGAN
Why They'd Hit It Off: This Florida native and all-around party girl has the same fashion sense as the "Shore" crew. She loves cutouts and spandex almost as much as she looooves showing off what her mama gave her, so she'd probably become insta-BFFs with JWOWW. And just in case the boys get rough housed like they did in Seaside Heights, who better to have their back than her dad?
RICKY MARTIN
Why They'd Hit It Off: A while back we " fake-matched up The Situation" with Oprah because we thought he needed a strong woman to help him build his 'SituAtiON NaTiON.' But for him to live "la vida loca" down in Miami, he's probably better suited with a suitor like the now openly gay Martin.
SCOTT STORCH
Why They'd Hit It Off: This vocal hip-hop producer would blend seamlessly with the group, and we'd really love to hear him and The Sitch remix some new catchphrases we can mimic. Plus, doesn't the Miami producer sorta-hang with argyle sock-loving Scott Disick (see KHLOÈ and KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN above) and Paris Hilton? (We know Pauly's been trying to snag Paris' digits for a while now.)
RACHEL from the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge"
Why They'd Hit It Off: Rachel is a personal trainer in Miami, and we've already seen how she handles hotheaded beefcakes and bisexual hotties! We would love to watch this all-around MVP challenge any of the housemates to an ab-off!
6. JANET RENO
Why They'd Hit It Off: She's kind of a wild card, but we think she'd be a great mentor. Can't you just picture Ronnie getting into trouble and calling the controversial attorney general on the duck phone for advice?

We had so much fun playing pretend matchmaker yesterday that we decided (well, really Pauly D asked us) to actually hook up the DJ with Paris Hilton. And the more we thought about the couple, the more we felt they belonged together (sorry Doug). They have so much in common: music (she sings and he scratches), flashing light bulbs (she gets hers on the red carpet, he prefers his with UV power) and the shore (him Jersey, she St. Barths).
What do you guys think? Do Pauly and Paris (moniker: P. Dilt) make a fabulous couple? Take the poll!
