It's always a crapshoot whether or not a reality TV star's 15 minutes will go into overtime--after all, not every photogenic lush who steps in front of a video camera can blossom into an international icon such as Snooki (quit your tryin' already, Tila Tequila.) Still, when "Real World: Las Vegas" premieres Wednesday night (10/9c), a few of the cast members are sure to nab an instant reputation amongst the 18-32 demo--and luckily, these greenies have Pauly D, Deena Nicole Cortese and Vinny Guadagnino to show them how to strike an expert pose for the paps, make nicey-nice with the tabloid press and shield themselves from incoming haterade.
During the "RW: Las Vegas" premiere party Saturday night, MTV.com caught some special bonding moments going down between the two casts. Pictured below are Pauly and Deena hanging with bad-boy Adam and pretty-boy Dustin, as well as Vinny getting his flirt on with Sin City beauties Naomi and Nany (and Jemmye from "Real World: New Orleans"!).
Just one big happy family...that is, until it's time to stop being polite and start getting real.
+ Check out more party pix here, plus make sure to tune in for the premiere of "Real World: Las Vegas" this Wednesday at 10/9 c and an all-new "Jersey Shore" on Thursday at 10/9c.

For all you skeptics out there who insisted that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's split was just another elaborate scheme to garner press, today you smell the stink of defeat (we're told it's like a blend of Chanel No. 5, patchouli and stale tacos). According to TMZ, the famed (for doing anything for fame) couple will officially say sayonara to their Speidi moniker within six months, as Spencer reportedly signed the divorce papers (filed by Heids) last week.
The breakup appears to have taken its toll on Heidi, but Spencer's already back on the singles scene -- so who do you think will be his next victim girlfriend? Considering the ex-"Hills" villain's excuse for the demise of his marriage ("There's no way my love for fame and her love for puppies will ever work out successfully," he recently told People), we're thinking someone with an equally depraved lust for the spotlight would fit the bill. Here are our top six picks:
1. Vienna Girardi
Things didn't quite work out with "Bachelor" star Jake Pavelka, and the buzz about her betrayal (and his lack of sex drive) has already timed out. A few dates with Spence could really up her VIP party invites and tabloid presence.
2. Kate Gosselin
This once straight-laced, suburban mom has transformed herself into a Hollywood MILF (it's Heidi 10 years from now!), and what better way to help Spencer conquer his fear of children than to add eight of them to his everyday life?
3. Janice Dickinson
C'mon, you didn't see those sweet stolen glances between the two on "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"? Sure, she's a little past her prime, but we know Spencer's very encouraging of plastic surgery.
4. Tila Tequila
Girl will do almost anything to stay on the public's radar, and we always got the feeling she liked the boys more than the girls anyway. Especially a boy who'd probably be more than willing to fight for her honor against unruly concertgoers.
5. Omarosa from "The Apprentice"
We know, we keep coming back to older women, but who else in the world could set Spencer straight than the meanie who threw down with Wendy Williams on her own talk show?
6. Lady Gaga
Uh, yeah, he wishes!

First, she bared her boobies in Playboy. Then, she passed on becoming the next Tila Tequila. And now, one-time Danity Kaner Aubrey O'Day's got her biggest news yet: she's moving to Vegas (baby, Vegas!) to become the real-life vershe of Nomi Malone!*
Yep, as MTV News confirmed, Aubrey will officially take over as mistress of ceremonies for the popular Vegas stage show "Peepshow" (which co-stars fellow Playmate-turned-thespian Holly Madison). And she won't be traveling alone. Not only will Aubs (undoubtedly) come with her spray-painted pooch in tow, but she'll be bringing along a camera crew to document her every move, note and jiggle.
And judging by the show's description -- the choreography's said to resemble a "high-level production" strip tease -- we're thinking she just might have a(nother) hit on her hands.
*Elizabeth Berkley's character in Showgirls (a.k.a. the best/worst movie ever).

For a woman best known for her naughty MySpace pix/getting dumped on her own reality dating show, Tila Tequila's actually got a good (if slightly plastic-y) head on her shoulders. Turns out, when she's not using her noggin to dream up fake pregnancy rumors (um, about herself??!) she's petitioning President Barack Obama on behalf of gays in the military. Even stranger? Girl's actually done her homework.

At the end of last night's Duel 2 reunion special, Mark teased us by saying Brooke had found love with another MTV alum. Well, we've done some digging (slash happen to be slightly BFF with Brooke) and found out her new-ish lady friend is none other than Lisa (a.k.a. That Really Tough Chick) from Shot at Love 2!
Posted 6/10/09 5:58 pm ET by Debbie Newman in Tila Tequila, Top TV Shows
Last month, Shot at Love alum/chronic oversharer Tila Tequila started an uproar when she made a special announcement via Twitter: "[The] reason why I've been feeling sick on and off lately is because yes, I am pregnant!" Natch, peeps wanted to know all the gory details (i.e. how far along, who's the baby-daddy, have you decided on his/her stripper name) but Tila stubbornly refused to comment, confirm or dish the dirt on those self-fueled pregnancy rumors ... 'til now.
Four weeks after dropping the p-bomb (and telling the "A-list" daddy to man up), Tila's finally breaking her silence to share some important news: she's not really with child! Also? Maybe she never was. Not that it was (is?) any of your beeswax. Jerks.
"First of all...the PREGNANCY rumors...the point is...maybe I was pregnant, or maybe I wasn't pregnant," Tila blogged on her Celebrity MySpace.
"I think that is something very personal," she went on(?!), "but I'm going to clear that up now and say that I am not currently pregnant. So there you go! Let's move on now! NEXT!"
On the heels of her maybe-I-made-the-whole-thing-up confession, Tila then proceeded to lecture everyone (else) 'bout the evils of rumor-mongering and closed with a special message to her followers:
"Don't be mad because I outsmarted you, haters!"
We wouldn't dream of it, crazy lady.
