On Episode 3 of The Buried Life, Ben Nemtin attempted to land a date with big time celeb Megan Fox -- and fortunately, dude came up short. Cuz if Ben had actually managed to woo the Tranformers babe, he might've never started dating his MTV family member, Whitney Port! (Don't worry, their shows are like far-removed cousins.)

While rumors began to surface over a week ago, MTV sources (not us, Ben!) reportedly told Gossipcop.com yesterday that the TBL and City star have been seeing each other "for weeks." Right now, those are pretty much the only details in existence, but we're greatly anticipating Ryan Seacrest's early morning radio show on Wednesday, when Whit will supposedly be drilled by the host about this new -- but apparently "serious" -- romance. In the meantime, take the poll and tell us what you think of our network's recent reality coupling.

Lauren Conrad may not have invited Speidi to her B-day bash (a 75-person fete at The Roosevelt in L.A.) this year, but that didn't stop her longtime frenemies from sending a virtual birthday message.

Earlier this week, the Pratts joined true blue LC pals like Lo Bosworth, Steph Pratt and Whitney Port in sharing their good wishes via Twitter. And we gotta admit, their tweets were actually quite sweet! (Though we're not sure Spencer was being 100% sincere when he told his longtime nemesis she was "missed.") Anyhow, check out all the birfday love LC received from her Hills fam, plus read our rhyming recap of Lauren's most memorable moments.

UPDATE: Whitney Port didn't just hit up Lauren's partay -- she also posted her own Happy Bday tribute to LC on her blog. Check it out, after the jump.

Happy birfday, Lauren Conrad! It's the big 2-4
So we've written you a poem (but, oh wait! there's more!)
We've also put together a short (rhyming!) list
Of our fave LC memories. Like that first Brody kiss!

Or the days when you and Whitney sat side by side
In a Teen Vogue cubicle, about eight feet wide
(When you believed so strongly in summer romance
That you became The Girl Who Didn't Go To France)

There were She-Pratts and Speidis and trips to Sin City
New puppies and hypoallergenic kitties
Catfights, boy dramas and one big Jen Bunney mess
Three different roomies, one (badly burned) couture dress

From the time Heidi crashed your first Teen Vogue party
To the time Spencer FINALLY said he was sorry
Thanks for all the amazing Hills memories
Happy happy! From all of us here at RC.

Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari recently admitted they have a soft spot for Jersey Shore. And while Whitney Port's no stranger to Seaside Heights herself (she told her Twit fam Vinny's her fave cast member), she's even more excited about MTV's newest show: The Buried Life.

"This past week I had the opportunity to meet and hang out with the boys from The Buried Life. Ben, Dave, Jonnie, and Duncan," the City star wrote on her website. "They are so sweet and beyond ambitious. I am so excited to watch [their show]! They have me thinking about my own bucket list!"

(Hey, us, too!)

Glad to see you're so on board with The B. Life, Whit. If you ever want a job blogging 'bout the show, let us know! Just please, please promise you'll stay away from our boyfriend, BenDaveJonnieDuncan. (Sorry, lady -- he's taken!)

It's not the first time Jayde Nicole and Brody Jenner have called things off -- but when the couple decided to quit each other (again) last month, something told us this latest breakup might be their last. So what went wrong? We're not sure about the final nail in the coffin, but Jayde says one thing's for sure: having the world constantly judge her romantic life didn't help. "Its hard [having everybody] watching your relationship and kind of scrutinizing it," Jayde told OK! magazine.

With all that drama hanging over her head, Jayde said she's not sure whether she'll be returning for Season 6 ("As of right now, I’m not going to be on the show,” she said), but explained that she's still been in contact with some of her costars -- including Brody.

"Me and Brody still keep in touch," Jayde told OK!. "We’re still friends. Everyone that I was friends with on the show I’m still friends with now.”

Seriously, it's not like Jayde's been sitting at home, reading about Brody and Whit in the tabloids and waiting for her phone to ring. Check out these pix of her getting cozy with Entourage star Adrian Grenier at a poker tourney last week. Jealous much, Brody?

As soon as rumors of Whitney and Brody's (supposed) hookup hit the web, everyone had one thing on their minds: What would Lauren Conrad think? True, she hasn't dated Brody for years (and has happily moved on to My Boys star Kyle Howard), but as Whitney's close, personal friend and Brody's ex-turned-confidante, LC's got two options: wave this off -- or see it as one big (and extremely public) betrayal. So how will she react? Assuming Whit and Brody ARE the real deal, does LC have the right to be pissed? Take the poll!

Rumor has it, Hills hunk Brody Jenner (who split with Jayde Nicole last month) is already back to playing the field. The newly single reality star was spotted canoodling with a leggy blonde last weekend -- and, no, the lucky gal wasn't Kristin Cavallari ... it was City star/Hills alumnus Whitney Port! Yep, sources told the New York Daily News that Whit "couldn't keep her eyes" off the Brodester and said the cozy duo was practically joined at the hip.

"They didn't come together, but Whitney ran over to see him the second he walked in," said the NYDN's eyewitness, who added that the former costars "stayed together for much of the evening" before leaving the club together.

So does this mean Whitney and Brody are more than just friends? We're not sure, but we're betting Lauren Conrad (ahem, Brody's one-time gf) would love to find out. FYI, LC has yet to say a word about the latest fling rumors, but she HAS warned Whit against dating Brody in the past. Check out what LC told Whitney about steering clear of the Brodester in this "lost" scene from The Hills: Season 3.

Oh, what a difference a coast makes! City star Whitney Port spent the holidays with the fam in L.A., and she couldn't believe how toasty the weather was out West. "[I] was so excited when I got off the plane to feel the warm air!" she blogged three days before Xmas. "I could not believe that it was a 50 degree difference between the coasts! I even got to wear shorts on Saturday!!!" Check out these pix of Whit's decidedly un-wintry wardrobe and tell us whether you're down with her pretty polka-dotted getup.

Now's your chance to ask Audrina Patridge anything you ever wanted to know about her! The Hillzie's been fielding fan questions on her blog, Audrina Patridge.com, and recently she's fessed up to everything from her favorite designer (she's all about Balmain) to her BFFship with recent ex Corey Bohan (right now, they're just "friends" who "stay in touch").

'Course, much as we value her fashion feedback/Bohan updates, we're much more interested to hear her thoughts on dating, relationships ... and Justin Bobby. Check out two of her most revealing answers after the jump, plus head to 'Drina's website to hit her up yourself!

With 2009 drawing to a close, Whitney Port's looking back on the year and trying to decide what she'll change in 2010 ... starting with: her wardrobe! Natch, she needs your help to clue her into what worked (and what didn't), so for the next two weeks, she's posting one outfit a day and asking her fans for a thumbs-up/thumbs-down. Check out these pix of her first two looks (above/below), then sound off in the comments and cast your vote to give Whit the 411.

+ Wanna know more about what Whitney's wearing? According to her site, Look #1 (top) is "a Moschino dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and Fenton Fallon earrings" and Look #2 is a "Luca Luca dress with Judith Ripka jewelry."
