Recently engaged Kristin Cavallari joined the highly opinionated/delightfully lewd Joan Rivers and her team of "Fashion Police"-ers over the weekend to vent about style no-no's at the Met Gala. After taking their anger out on a series of bizarre bird-like trends, Joan and her team ripped Rihanna a new one for being a repeat offender: Ri wore the same sheer look previously at the Grammys and the American Music Awards! While K-Cav didn't necessarily hate the singer's affinity for see-through ensembles, she did, however, get a little snarky about her fiery red Rapunzel braid.

Sexy Rihanna's superstar choreographer Tanisha Scott can spot a dancehall imitation a mile away. Real dancehall, she says, requires a certain swagg and "island element" that can't be duplicated. So this week, as the ABDCrews were challenged to take dancehall "to the next level," Scott checked in on them often to make sure they maintained that island vibe.

The gorgeous dance guru also got a sec to chat with ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh about this week's challenge, working with a current pop icon and her secret method for visualizing moves in this behind-the-scenes interview. Check it out:

Rihanna's choreographer Tanisha Scott grooved on over to "ABDC" rehearsals this week to assess the swagg of the six remaining crews and challenge them to add a bit of island flavor to their step. She assigned each crew a distinct dancehall move (The Spiderman, Gallis Step, Head Top, Dutty Wine, Give it a Run and The Chaplin) to include in their Week 5 performance... but the competitors quickly found that smoothing out their urban edge can be harder than it looks.

ABDC Insider host Layla Kayleigh schmoozed with the crews at the taping of tonight's show as they prepared to bring their new tropical style to the stage. Check it out:

Just when you thought Pauly D's earthly existence couldn't possibly get any cooler, the "Jersey Shore" standout and resident DJ at Sin City's Palms Casino and Resort recently got to live out yet another one of his pre-fame fantasies: DJing for pop music icon Britney Spears!

On Friday, Brit Brit made a surprise appearance at RAIN nightclub at the Palms, performing three songs off her upcoming Femme Fatale album--"Hold It Against Me," "The Big Fat Bass" and "Till The World Ends." Off in the distance, you could just make out the glimmer of Pauly's red, white and green rhinestone-studded Macbook being put to work.

Later in the weekend, he told the Chicago Tribune all about the "amazing" experience. "It’s like a dream come true for me. I always wanted to DJ for an artist, and why not Britney now? Her new album is dance music. It’s a good match."

+ Check out these hot shots of Britney shakin' it on stage, then tell us in the comments which artist you'd like to see Pauly back up next! (Our vote's for denim-thonged Rihanna--something tells us they'd hit it off both professionally AND personally.)

She may not have left the mansion tonight as Paris Hilton's 'New BFF,' but Desirae definitely made some friends for life! Plus, she went home with a few invaluable fashion pointers. Tip No. 1: Price tags should always be kept private...

I’m not offended that Paris eliminated me. I actually woke up that morning and knew I was going home -- my heart just wasn’t in it anymore. I was sick, throwing up and sleeping the whole day. Plus, I gained 10lbs because I wasn't eating healthy meals. Worst of all, I was getting annoyed with myself and my roommates, which isn’t in my nature.

As for my fashion faux pas, we've all made mistakes when it comes to clothes haha. I guess I just figured Paris was going with the whole "doll" theme that day. And let me just take a second to clear up what happened in Episode 3, when I thought it was OK to mention the price of my dress.

In 2001, Paris herself wore a dress with POKER CHIPS on it and then mentioned on the red carpet that the chips added up to one million dollars! Now, I put Paris in the same category as Rihanna and Megan Fox -- they wear what they want and do what they want -- therefore, I didn't consider it tacky to bring up the cost of my dress because she had done the same thing! But silly me, this isn’t 2001 anymore. Paris has grown up a lot since her early 20s.

As for the other contestants ... I came into this crazy escapade with a very open mind. I wasn't so much trying to find a BFF but rather offer my BFFness to Paris. At the start, I didn’t care to meet anyone else, but that changed VERY quickly.

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!

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?
