Deena Nicole Cortese: Total Class in a Glass

Watch out, Seaside Heights. And call the police in advance.

Why? There's a new Guidette in town: Deena Nicole Cortese.

MTV has confirmed that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's real-life BFF, who has also been referred to as simply Deena Nicole, will join the Jersey Shore cast in Season 3.

The new cast member has been all but confirmed in recent weeks, but the network has not acknowledged bringing her on board until now. What can we expect?

Cortese describes herself as "class in a glass and party in a body," so you know it's going to be good. She's already started filming and partying with the crew.

Deena and Snook are totes BFFs.

Deena has been seen shooting scenes with her girl Snooki, as well as the classy likes of co-stars Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Jenni "J-Woww" Farley.

"Deena Cortese embodies the quintessential Jersey Shore archetype," Jersey Shore casting director Doron Ofir recently told The Examiner of his new star.

The new star, who is single, "is a Jersey native, proud to live, play, love at the shore. I hope America loves her as much as I do. Get ready for 'Rockstar'!"

Live, Play, Love. In other words, Scream, Fight, Bone.

Taylor Momsen Jokes About F*%king Priest, Has No Idea Who Justin Bieber Is

Say about you will about her, Gossip Girl star and up-and-coming rock star Taylor Momsen certainly doesn't hold back. You may not like her, but she is who she is.

The Pretty Reckless frontwoman is often criticized for being too racy on stage, and in how she dresses in general. These comments are sure to fire up critics, too.

As sources of celebrity quotes go, the 17-year-old is already among the elite. In a recent New Zealand radio interview, Momsen touched on the following topics:

On her band's song, "Going Down," about the Catholic church: "I was raised Catholic. I f*%ked a priest once. Just kidding. It seemed like a fitting song to write at the time. It was kind of a f*%k you to all the molestation going on. It was just insane."

On revealing Taylor Momsen pictures online: "I don't take [stories about me] to heart; I just look at it this way: My f*%king tampon's on the goddamn Internet."

Taylor Momsen thinks she's so hard.

On whether she's BFFs with her vibrator: "It doesn't talk back to me, so it's really not a best friend ... I think women should equally be allowed to pleasure themselves as much as men. I think that if that has any more controversy than a man talking about pleasuring himself, then there's something wrong with the world."

"I just think men and women should be treated equally. I'm not a whore for masturbating, so, like, f*%k you if you want to call me one."

On teen heart throb Justin Bieber: "I don't know who Justin Bieber is. I only know his name because it keeps being brought up to me ... I listen to Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, so I have no idea who he is. That's not a dis; I just don't know."

Yeah, right. Follow the jump for the full, seven-minute audio interview:

Fantasia Barrino Sex Tape, Affair Alleged by Paula Cook

Fantasia Barrino received solid reviews for starring turn on Broadway in The Color Purple.

But if new allegations prove correct, this won't be the singer's most memorable performance.

According to court documents filed by a woman named Paula Cook, the former American Idol champion carried on an affair with Cook's husband - and even made a sex tape with him!

North Carolina television station WCNC uncovered the divorce papers, filed by Cook, which demand child support payments from estranged husband Antwaun and cite a relationship between him and Fantasia. Paula states the two started sleeping with each other in August 2009.

Paula goes on to write: "Throughout the course of their adulterous affair... Defendant/Husband and Ms. Barrino have at times recorded their illicit activity."

She also claims that Fantasia once called her on the phone and taunted: "He don’t want you. Maybe the next time that you get a husband you'll know how to keep him. That's why he is here with me."

Rumors of an affair between Barrino and Antwaun Cook first surfaced late last year. They were the latest in a series of personal mishaps for the star, who has faced numerous financial problems, including foreclosure.

On the plus, side, though, if a sex tape truly exists, she can peddle the heck out of it and make millions. Just call Montana Fishburne for advice, Fantasia.

Montana Fishburne Used to Be a Prostitute

Guess this explains her "I have a lot of experience off camera" comment.

Montana Fishburne, sex tape star and teenage daughter of The Matrix star Laurence Fishburne, was once arrested for prostitution, according to court documents.

The Chippy D sex tape by Vivid Entertainment is causing quite a stir, with the latest wrinkle that its star was nabbed less than a year ago for selling her body.

Then just 18, the youngster was arrested on a prostitution charge on November 25, 2009 in the Hollywood area and is still on probation from her conviction.

Chippy D? More like chipping in for some ... never mind.

Montana Fishburne pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 104 hours toward the California beautification project, 15 days of community service, an AIDS test, STD education, plus two years probation - and that last part is where it gets tricky.

As part of her probation, she must abide by these rules:

"Do not offer to engage and do not engage in any form of sexual activity for money or any other consideration. Do not engage or offer to engage in any sexual activity in a public place or a place open to the public or exposed to public view."

Does the Montana Fishburne sex tape violate those terms? Or did she just find a loophole allowing her to make money through intercourse? Clever, if so .

Paris Hilton's Vacation is Better Than Yours

Paris Hilton is on vacation.

What that entails when one has no job to go back to, we have no idea. But it involves arrests for pot and is a bit more lavish than your standard vacation.

How different is Paris' lifestyle than that of the average American family? Jimmy Kimmel decided to help clearly the subtle variations in a funny bit Friday.

Who was diving off yachts and swilling $500 bottles of Cristal in Saint-Tropez and who was sweltering in the backseat of a non-descript sedan?

Who was loving life in a bikini and designer shades on the beach and who was bundled up on the streets of (relatively) chilly San Francisco?

Check out the vacation-snapshot comparison below and see ...

Snooki to President Obama: You're a Liar!

Snooki is upset with President Obama, and not because of foreign policy, health care reform or even the tanning tax she whined about in the Jersey Shore premiere.

She thinks he dissed her on TV.

During Obama's visit to The View, he said he didn't know who Snooki was. Hard to blame him for trying to dodge that one, but in May, POTUS joked that the Jersey Shore star and her cohorts should be excluded from that very tanning tax.

"I know he knows who I am," Snooki told E! Online this weekend. "Why did he have to lie and say he didn't know me? He did say Snooki and JWoww about the tanning stuff and now he doesn't know who I am? He has to stop lying."

Looks like Barack's down one voter in 2012.

KISS OFF: Snooki wants the President to stop the lies.

As for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slamming the MTV series for tarnishing the Garden's State's image, Snooki, who is actually from N.Y. State, simply said:

"He needs to come over and have a hot dog and a Corona and just chill."

But not too many Coronas. Otherwise he could end up arrested like Snooki on July 30. "I learned not to drink during the day and save it for the clubs. Have you ever been in jail? It's not fun. I never want to go there again."

We have, and can vouch for her on that one. Better to wait until at least 4 p.m. before cracking open that first cold one. Maybe she'll write this newfound wisdom down in one of her new books. Yes, that was books, plural.

"One is the Snooktionary with all my sayings," Snooki said. "The other is the story of somebody going to Seaside Heights and everything that could happen to them."

Could make a nice stocking stuffer, Barack.

Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, Scott Takes on Therapy

Due to writers putting it in the script his drinking and anger problem, Scott Disick is in therapy.

This supposed treatment was a major focus of last night's Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, which THG forced an intern to watch and review below. Enjoy...

Kourtney’s true other half is back in Miamithis week, as Khloe Kardashiam Odom (did her ring actually get bigger?) returns to finish out the season of her show. Along with Khloe comes a few more Kardashians/Jenners. Mama Kris is there to look over her little cubs, for example.

Kris brings along little sisters Kendall and Kylie, who are turning into mini versions of their famous older sisters. They run around the apartment squealing as Kris settles in to take care of business. This is the first time we’ve really seen Kourtney admit that she knows Scott is sick. We also get to see Scott in therapy, attempting to confront his issues.

Kourtney assures Kris that she is handling everything and not to worry, but of course Kris takes things into her own hands. She visits Scott at the hotel where is he staying. In her attempt to talk to some sense into him, she also gives him some treatment brochures. Scott responds by promptly throwing them out the window the second she leaves.

Khloe, who is becoming wise in her old married age, tells Kris that the more she interferes, the worse she will make the situation. Kourtney is old enough to fight her own battles. Kris is just muddling things up. And what’s up with her hair by the way?

In the rest of the episode, nothing else is too exciting. When they roll up to the Dash the paparazzi are always waiting. Kourtney wants Khloe to fire one of the workers over a shoplifting incident. Khloe feels awkward, but it ends up being fine. Tune in next week for the finale!!

Kardashian Klothing Line: Konfirmed!

Do you wanna look like THIS?

If so, you're in luck: Kourtney, Khloe and Kim Kardashian have confirmed that they will partner with Australian designer Bruno Schiavi's Jupi Corp. to create a line of clothing. It will debut early next year and include accessories, lingerie, swimwear and shoes.

"We obviously waited on a big partnership like this for a long time because we've had so many different offers and we wanted to make sure that we had a huge say in the design and that our personalities would come through," Kim said.

Their personalities would come through? Does this mean all outfits inspired by Kim will resemble a robot?

These sisters own a pair of Dash clothing stores in California and Miami (though THG reporting proves the Florida establishment is rarely actually open for business) and also designed a fall line for Bebe this year.

The new collection will hit major retail stores in 17 countries in 2011 and be comprised of pieces that flatter all body types, including ugly one-shoulder dresses, jumpsuits, blazers and leggings.

"All three of us have similar bones, but we have different shapes and sizes," Khloe said. "I'm tall, Kim is curvy and Kourtney is petite - and we know how to dress up our best assets."

Translation: they show off their big breasts a lot.

Michaele Salahi Gets Served

As the official Real Housewives of D.C. premiere party last week, cast members slammed Michaele Salahi. Catherine Ommanney even said she wouldn't appear on a second season if Salahi was involved.

Meanwhile, Michaele and awful husband Tareq were hosting their own gathering at the time - and getting served with court papers that accuse them of reneging on a deal with a public relations firm.

According to The Washington Post, the couple is being sued by Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications. The company accuses the Salahis of owing more than $15,000 in unpaid fees from a 2008 polo event.

"It was an affidavit for debtors interrogatory," Steve Winter, president of BWF, said of the documents handed to Michaele and Tareq on Thursday night. "It means they'll have to appear in court to discuss their financial means - how they are capable of paying off the debt."

Truth be told, perhaps Tareq and Michaele Salahi should countersue. For a PR firm, Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications has clearly done a shoddy job. These reality stars are already more hated than almost anyone else on TV.

Then again, it's unlikely any company could help them change their image. They're truly awful human beings.

Teen Choice Awards Fashion Face-Off: Chace Crawford vs. Cory Monteith

We just profiled Glee star Lea Michelle and Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars fame in a fashion clash from Sunday evening's Teen Choice Awards in L.A.

How will one of Lea's male co-stars fare in a similar showdown?

Cory Monteith has some stiff competition in Choice TV Actor winner Chace Crawford (see full list of Teen Choice Awards winners here) of Gossip Girl.

Chace's outfit was a far cry from the preppy Upper East Side clothes he dons on TV, but he looked laid back and cool in a button down and jeans.

Meanwhile, Monteith had to dress up a little more as one of the evening's co-hosts, but added a casual touch - sneakers - to his sleek black suit.
