Kristin Cavallari shows off her barely there pregnancy at the 'This Means War' premiere in Los Angeles.

You might need a jeweler's loupe to see it clearly, but Kristin Cavallari's baby bump is there, and the former "Hills" star was not ashamed to show off her baby-to-be across Hollywood last night.

Shutterbugs caught the 25-year-old at the premiere of "This Means War" at Hollywood's famous Grauman's Chinese Theater, and her signature poise and smile were paired with a new look: pregnancy. "U can see a little baby bump :)" the excited mother-to-be, who announced her pregnancy just two weeks ago, tweeted after seeing the photo above. An engagement ring, the ownership of which was once in question, tightly encircled K-Cav's ring finger. The wedding is on hiatus for now, though, as Kristin recently told Us Weekly that no vows will be spoken until her little boy or girl sees the light of day.

+ Can you see Kristin's baby bump? Try squinting...what about now? Well, get your grandfather's monocle, stop being such a cynic and wish the girl congratulations!

Pauly takes a private moment in his dressing room amidst all the lights, camera, action.

Pauly D's style hasn't changed much since his first days on "Jersey Shore," except that he probably doesn't pay much attention to price tags now that his DJ gigs bring in 5 figures a pop. Case and point: In a recent photo shoot for his upcoming MTV series, "The Pauly D Project," the blowout devotee showed up to our set sporting studded Christian Louboutin sneakers. OH YEAH, he fancy now.

It was a chill day, as Pauly and his down-to-earth entourage goofed around with each other in front of the flashing bulbs. In attendance were PD's bodyguard, Gerard "Big Jerry" Gialanella (who's recently been on a health kick and might want to consider tweaking his nickname accordingly); his wingman (and Brody Jenner lookalike), Ryan Labbe; his road manager, Michael "Biggie" Morgan; and executive club promoter Jason "JROC" Craig (also known as "Mr. Vegas"), who looked like he just stepped off the pages of GQ.

The show follows Pauly and his wise-cracking buddies from their home state of Rhode Island all the way to Sin City, where nightly jam-packed gigs--as well as numerous DTFs--await at the infamous Palms Casino Resort. Also imminent are multiple stops along Britney Spears' Femme Fatale tour and business meetings with 50 Cent. Cabs Limos are heeyaahhh!

+ Premiering March 29 at 10:30/9:30c (with a "Punk'd" lead-in at 10/9c), "The Project" is a must-see for any Pauly D admirer looking to peel back the layers of his exciting life. Check out some behind-the-scenes photos from the series' official photo shoot, plus tell us if you'll be watching!

The entire entourage sports a jazz-hands pose without shame.

It's uncanny. Brody Jenner-lookalike Ryan (left) and JROC (right) MUST share the same eyebrow waxer.

LC: "What do you mean 'only 1 computer'? I require a minimum of 3 to write!"

At various points in our careers, we've tried to crank out literary masterpieces over three-day holiday weekends, but for now, Remote Control remains our greatest accomplishment. Other writers we know, however, have found the time (and dedication!) to scribe a big badass book. Lauren Conrad in particular locked herself away in New York City recently to focus and finish up a draft of her own.

While Faulkner and Hemingway sought refuge in the form of mint juleps, LC's vice appears to be Instagramming in the middle of the creative process. The former "Hills" gal blogged on her website and tweeted about a firm deadline for her forthcoming novel. "Wrote until 3am last night+ now I'm working in my editors office w/ my glasses held on2 my face w/ a rubber band bc I sat on them #deadlines," she posted, before sharing the below photo of her DIY'd specs. Her technique is certainly unorthodox (we were trained to stack just two laptops), but hey, she's the one with books flying off the shelves.

LC: "This is the only way I can get them to stay on…. I mean, I’m basically MacGyver."

Ronnie had Kenny jumping out of his chair before the video cameras even started rolling.

If you haven't caught on by now, MTV.com normally shoots the "Jersey Shore Hook-Up" twice every season. To start, we invite one group of cast members to our studio and discuss the first few episodes. Halfway through the season, we hold a second shoot--with a fresh batch of guidos/guidettes--to chat about all the drama that went down in the final episodes.

You've been watching Deena, Mike and Sammi represent the Dirty Jerz on the "Hook-Up" since Season 5 began, but come Episode 7 (Feb. 16), we've got a new crew on display. Snooki, JWOWW, Ronnie and Vinny were here in the Times Square studio (yep, the ol' "TRL" chill pad) yesterday to give host Kenny Santucci a run for his money in terms of swearing, sexual innuendo and general s***-talking. It was glorious, and we can't wait for you to see the hilarity that came out of it (spoiler: Our new favorite word is "vagetarian"). In the meantime, check out these behind-the-scenes pics from the taping of our most scandalous "Hook-Up" ever!

Snooki tweeted happy thoughts to her followers while getting her hair did.

Angelina and Naomi whisper to each other while Snooki's ex-boyfriend Emilio Masella pretends not to listen.

We're always a little caught off guard when we see MTV stars chillaxin' together, but spotting a photo of two-time "Jersey Shore" cast member and Hot Topic's most-wanted woman Angelina Pivarnick singing "Happy Birthday" to Naomi from "Real World: Las Vegas" (and now, "Exes") is straight-up weird, yo.

This isn't the first time we've seen a "Jersey Shore"/"Real World" mashup (the casts got together for the "Las Vegas" premiere last year), but we're really curious about the above candid shot. When did Angie become close enough with Naomi to warrant secretive whispers?

While the newly blonde Naomi was celebrating her birthday at Taj II in New York this month, Angie and Emilio Masella (yup, Snooki's old news) showed up to hobnob with the casties. Check out the pics and let us know if you think Angie and Naomi are actually friends, or if the camera-ready party crasher was just there for the free booze to be seen.

Johnny Ratta and friends submit some serious 'Challenge' fan mail.

One of the more rewarding things about working at MTV is seeing how dedicated--and creative--our viewers can be. We've received quirky fan fiction, "Jersey Shore"-inspired animated GIFs and even superstar raps, and today, we came across something that involved one of our favorite things: costumes.

The above photo was tweeted by @J_Ratta with the comment "@tjlavin you think u can get us on the next season of the challenge?" The pic showcased himself and 20 of his friends posing as current and past contenders--all suited up in uniform. Leave it to "Challenge" fans to take casting for a potential next season into their own hands!

Unfortunately, we have absolutely nothing to do with picking show talent, but if we did, you best believe these guys would be the first people we'd call.

Snooki's a surfer girl in one cover option for the upcoming "Gorilla Beach."

Now that Snooki has confessed her life story, it's time for her to venture back to the "Shore" and scribe the summer's sure-to-be best seller, "Gorilla Beach." The plot is already set for this follow-up to last year's "A Shore Thing," but our meatball might need your help with some art direction (and surf lessons, evidently, if there are any interested parties).

Snooks recently tweeted a couple of cover options she's considering for the tale of Gia and Bella's return to Seaside Heights. On one option, she's ready to take on riptides and can't be bothered with the likes of hot dudes. On the other, she balances on one leg (in a pair of spikes that might send her to the floor at any second) in happy admiration of a particular juiceheady guido. Two options worthy of the honor, but two options that send very different messages about what's to come from the fictional characters' second time on the boardwalk.

We've spotted pics of Snooki donning eyelashes so long she can barely blink, and we've also seen her go out of the house with alarmingly pale skin, but up until this week, we couldn't remember a time when we saw the dashing diva strike a pose completely makeup-less. After we shared the above image of the "Jersey Shore" guidette without tons of face paint, we were curious to hear how her fans would respond--here's what some of you said on Remote Control and Facebook:

Remote Control:
"Snooki, girl, you look so amazing without makeup! I'm mesmerized by your natural beauty! Don't wear makeup anymore!" -- Jane

"Snooki is naturally beautiful and should really only wear heavy makeup when she's going out. That way, the world gets to enjoy her beauty both ways." -- Diana

"Snooki, most girls wear makeup because they look awful without it. You are the exact opposite. You look AMAZING without it--when you have the war paint on, it actually takes away from your beauty." -- Keolahiwahiwa

It hasn't been confirmed by the woman herself, but the proof is kinda/sorta in the pudding photo above: Lo Bosworth has possibly joined the ranks of reality stars who've put their boobs under the knife. Life & Style reports that Lauren Conrad's sidekick expanded her, uh, horizons late last year, and according to their source--a pal of the former Hillzie--she's "very happy with the results." While we're pleased to hear that she's pleased, it's always a little confusing to us when beautiful girls risk a plastic surgery nightmare for a bigger cup size. But hey, to each their own--it's too early in the day to get judgmental. That is, it's too early for us...

A mere 23 minutes ago on Facebook (impressed by our nimble fingers?), we saw something we never could have anticipated: Snooki's makeup-free face! And, like we always imagined, it's just as adorable without the mounds of foundation, bronzer and mascara blocking it. (Her fans agree--8,000 "Likes" already!) The "Jersey Shore" star uploaded a pic of her skin sans crud with a message to any potential critics: "no make up today, and IDC." We thought you guys would care, though--this moment is long-awaited and deserves to be celebrated!

What prompted the famously well-lacquered guidette to finally remove her facial armor and reveal her true, untampered-with self? It's possible she saw the incredible response to costar Sammi's beauty makeunder and was curious to hear what people thought of her own natural look. So, give a girl what she wants...
