MTV Remote Control Blog › Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has quite a few guilty pleasures (don't we all?), and aside from the really obvious one--brown-haired boys who play with her heart and eventually crush her soul--July's Teen Vogue cover girl reveals on the magazine's website that MTV's "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant" top her list of pop culture obsessions (take that, Kim Kardashian!). Guess it goes without saying how much we respect Taylor's artistic taste and discerning eye for quality TV programming (we said it anyway, 'course), so we're delighted to add her to the growing list of savvy and well-respected public figures that support the show.

It's worth noting that Taylor listed "90s one-hit wonders, watching YouTube videos of kittens and the app CatPaint" as other items on her guilty pleasures list. Thus our gift to her below:

Looking at pre-paid credit card enthusiast Kim Kardashian's recent dating agenda, it's obvious that the girl is indecisive. Or really, really picky.

Kim just split up with Halle Berry's ex, Gabriel Aubry, and according to RadarOnline.com, she's already moved on to a new guy: a hoopster named Kris Humphries.

Since Kim hasn't scored too many baskets in the game of love lately, we're here with a little advice: Step away from the athletic sidelines and red carpet heavyweights, and look no further than MTV's diverse roster of talent! Here are some guys that we would love to set her up with.

RJ BERGER
Kim's definitely not going to settle for a guy with a medium sized package. RJ recently lost his virginity, so maybe she can teach him how to use it in a productive way.

ROB DYRDEK
He might've made his mark as a professional skateboarder, but Rob's witty personality and entrepreneurial spirit would make a great match for Kim. We betcha they'd be trading business pointers in no time!

PAULY D
The second we decided to write this list, Pauly's name came to mind. He's not an athlete and he hasn't dated a mega-celebrity (at least not that we know of), but the sweet, smiley DJ can make us laugh on cue, and Kim could use more laughter in her life. She's so serious sometimes!

JONNIE PENN
For starters, he's the only single guy left on "The Buried Life" (Ben's taken; Dave's married; Duncan's busy texting Taylor Swift); but also, he's pretty hot (in that shy, awkward kinda way) and has a huge heart. It's time Kim dated a nice guy!

Taylor Swift blew our mind last week when she texted Duncan that she'd go out with him, but Dave's "spontaneous" marriage on tonight's episode of "The Buried Life" was absolutely out of this world. After spotting his wife-to-be sweeping the stairs of the Hard Rock pool area, he ran over to introduce himself, faked a drowning in order to keep their convo going and eventually, dropped to his knee and asked for her to be his life partner. Sure, crazier things have happened in Las Vegas, but that doesn't mean they should happen!

After Ben failed to charm Megan Fox with his burgundy blazer and red carpet questions during Season 1 of "The Buried Life," it was up to Duncan to pick up the pieces and try to accomplish No. 59 --"Ask Out The Girl Of Your Dreams." Armed with some seriously bushy sideburns and a funky cowboy hat, Duncan (aka country music singer Boone McCaw) tried to sneak into the CMT Awards to find his crush, Taylor Swift. He was denied access, but the boys quickly came up with a backup plan that required him to strip off his disguise and press on as himself. And guess what? He got in there!

Back in July, when we first heard rumors of L.A. Candy getting the Hollywood treatment, we asked you guys whether Lauren Conrad should play herself (er, star as the novel's protagonist, Jane Roberts) in the big-screen edition. And while an overwhelming 67% of you thought LC should cast herself in the leading role, the Hillzie claims she's not even in the running.

"I think my acting is offensive!" Lauren told People.com late last week, after it was announced her bestselling book was being turned into a full feature film. "I'm an awful actor, I'm not super comfortable with it. In fact I was just trying to do lines ... and they'll tell you, I cannot memorize lines."

So who does that leave? We rounded up three actresses we think would be perfect for the part. Starting with...

BLAKE LIVELY:
Cute, blonde and uber experienced at playing Miss Popular, Lively (best known as Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl) fully understands what it's like to be the TV "It" girl. The only problem? We've mostly seen Lively in roles where she luuuurves being the center of attention (like Bridget in Traveling Pants). For Candy, she'll need to be more of a reluctant hero -- but if she can deliver Jane's wide-eyed vulnerability (and "Who, me?" humility), we're thinking she'll make LC proud.

AMANDA SEYFRIED:
Although often cast as the second banana (think: Regina George's lackey in Mean Girls and Megan Fox's sidekick in Jennifer's Body), Seyfried's got the kind of quiet confidence and unassuming beauty that's hard to ignore. A wispy, doe-eyed blonde, the Mamma MiaI actress is the perfect stand-in for small-town Jane, and we can totally see her shy, good girl act stealing the show from the ditzy Gaby and paparazzi-addicted Madison.

TAYLOR SWIFT:
Okay, fine. So she doesn't have the same acting cred as the first two, but Taylor HAS dabbled in TV (CSI, anyone?), plus she's sweet, adorable and totally believable as the girl-next-door. Despite blowing up big in the country music scene, Swift's still way more deer-in-the-headlights than diva, and she's got the "Imma let you finish" moment to prove it. The closest thing to a real-life Jane (besides Conrad herself, obvs), Swift's as innocent as they come. And if you don't believe us, just ask her ex-boyfriend: self-proclaimed virgin, Joe Jonas.

+ Got any better ideas? Tell us who you think should play Jane Roberts in the movie vershe of L.A. Candy, plus feel free to start casting the roles of Gaby, Madison, Scarlett and Braden!

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.
