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!

Spencer Pratt may be privately dealing with the separation from his wife, Heidi, but publicly, he's a business man that has his hands in a million projects. This week, he tweeted that he's taking his crystal collection viral by hosting an enlightenment program on his website, KingSpencer.com. His sister, Stephanie -- a jet-setting go-getter with a handbag line in the works -- spent her downtime raiding her parent's pantry (we love doing that!), and former "Hills" costar Lauren Conrad was busy tweeting about Thursday's ah-mazing "Jersey Shore" premiere (wonder if she threw a party?).

Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg's apparently a big fan of "The View," and Shaq sounds like he's about to catch Bieber Fever. He even got his autograph!

Check out their tweets below:

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!).

For some people, landing that first job is a momentous occasion. For others it's just a necessary (and humbling) step on the way to something greater. We're only hours away from the premiere of "Hired," a new show that pits three contestants against one another in a fight for a single job -- so let's celebrate by remembering five celebrities and their hilarious first gigs (hey, ya gotta start somewhere, even if it's wayyyy at the bottom). Plus, we've got five of the funniest stars-who-got-canned stories. Apparently losing a minimum wage job doesn't mean you can't one day make millions!

5 CELEBS' FIRST JOBS
Johnny Depp
Back before the internet was born and spammers became the world's foremost marketers of things no one needs, people used to sell stuff over the telephone. Johnny Depp was one of those people. He peddled ballpoint pens and says he never made a single sale. Depp's friend Nic Cage eventually suggested he try acting, and apparently that gig worked out better.

Danny DeVito
Before he was the famous midget-size actor with a pot belly and bald head, Danny DeVito was "Mr. Danny" ... the hairstylist. His stint at his sister's salon didn't last long, though, as he soon felt the pull of the camera. Too bad he didn't have a first job more applicable to his later life. You know, like a car waxer.

Whoopi Goldberg
She wasn't always the successful comedian (and dancing nun) we know and love. Whoopi Goldberg was once a makeup artist -- to the dead! That's right, Goldberg worked in a mortuary where she applied makeup to expired bodies to make them look, well, more alive. These days she lends the skills she learned in that job to help out her cohost Barbara Walters. (Yep, we had to go there.)

Brad Pitt
When you've got a face like Brad Pitt, you don't have to do much to make money. But even Pitt's face didn't help sell fast food. That's why his bosses at El Pollo Loco made him cover up his glorious jawline with a chicken suit. That's right, Brad Pitt used to dance around in fake feathers trying to sell drumsticks.

Eva Mendes
For most people, selling hot dogs in a mall would be the most embarrassing job they ever held. But Eva Mendes, who was a frank vendor before she she became an actress, was in 2007's "Ghost Rider," which makes working as a hot dog vendor seem downright honorable.

While it seems like everyone had Coachella on the brain (well, at least most of "The City" crew), one person in the Twitterverse this week went on the offensive. Spencer Pratt had MUCH to say on Thursday -- and no one was safe! He took shots at JWOWW and Audrina Patridge's breast augmentations, and even dared to dig into "The Situation"! Fortch, we think "The Hills" ' controversial star has cooled off now.

Elsewhere, Snoop Dogg was getting his hocus-pocus on with magic man David Blaine, and Kenny in "Fresh Meat II" was having difficulties staying awake (worn out from fighting with Wes?) Check out their tweets below:

Confession: We haven't thought too much about Fred Durst (or Limp Bizkit) since the day the LB frontman became a member of the Celebs Who Accidentally Leaked Their Own Sex Tape club. But there was a time when "Nookie," "Break Stuff" and "Rollin'" all ranked highly on our Songs That Piss Off Our Parents playlist, which is why we're hella psyched that Fred's bringing back the original starting lineup.

Take another look at the historic moment when Mr. Durst officially confirmed Limp Bizkit's back togetherness, and stick around to watch our all-time fave LB video, after the jump.

Aside from his slapsticky sketch humor and revolving door of celebrity guests, the best thing Snoop has going for him is his total unpredictability. Case in point, this unscripted encounter with Keri Hilson (hey, girl!), in which Snoop tells the "Energy" singer what he'd do if he were ever face-to-face with Simon Cowell on Hip Hop: American Idol.

Snoop: If Simon was a judge on the show that I was on, as an artist trying to get on, I'd make a rap up about him and probably snatch him up out of his tight leather shirt and put hands on him.
Keri Hilson: (speaking in fake British accent): I don't think that is appropriate.
Snoop: Well, let me tell you what IS appropriate, Mr. Simon, since you think you know what is ... (pause) No, some real talk, we need to calm down, I don't want him looking for me, you know what I'm sayin'?

We know what you're sayin'. But FYI, if Simon ever DOES come knocking down your door, we're thinking you (a gangsta rapper and former Long Island Cripp) could probably take him (a tubby/effeminate European) in street fight.

Or even just a staring a contest.

Busta Rhymes, rapper, assailant and coiner of the phrase "Woo ha! Got you all in check," doesn't go around handing out compliments they're like going out of style. But dude had plenty of high praise for Snoop's 1993 album, Doggystyle. Check this sneak peek from tonight's Dogg After Dark, feel the hip hop love, and catch more Snooptastic moments at the show's new time. 8:30pm, ya dig?
