When it comes to Jersey Shore, few roommates had more interesting hookup situations than, well, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. From Paula Pickard to several Karma randos, Sitch kept himself busy — and that's putting it mildly. That sentiment especially rang true when the gang headed to Italy in 2011. Despite all of Mike's romance drama with Snooki, the now-35-year-old managed to snag a pair of blonde twins, aptly nicknamed "The Jersey Shore Twins," thereafter. Today, one of those twins, Brittany Taltos, 28, has reflected on her experience with everyone’s favorite MTV cast all those years ago, and there's a lot more to the story than what fans saw on their television screens. "My sister [Erica] and I were studying abroad in Italy during the summer of 2011, which was coincidentally the same summer that MTV was filming Jersey Shore," Brittany told Life & Style. "The hot spots in Florence were limited, so we...

What It Is: Andie, a customizable try-at-home swimwear service
Who Tried It: Brittany Talarico, Senior Style Editor (and Jersey Shore native)
Why We Tried It: Swimsuit shopping at department stores sucks. Period.
Level of Difficulty: 2/10. If your stuck on sizing, set aside 5-10 minutes to call one of the Andie fit experts. Other than that, it takes about minutes to build your own box and your suits are shipped to your front door.
How It Works: I love swimsuits, but I hate shopping for them. Trying on a handful of styles in a harshly lit dressing room at a busy...

Will the Sur staff (past and present) ever learn how to act like normal human beings?
If Vanderpump Rules Season 5 Episode 1 is any indication, the answer is hell no, and the world should be grateful for this group of 30 somethings that aren't afraid to put themselves out there. Way out there.
The first thing that stood out during the premiere is Tom Sandoval’s horrible highlights. Are they pink? Are they white? Did someone sneak into his room in the middle of the night and dye his hair against his will? He is also the one who brought up the infamous Ok Magazine party.
The Ok Magazine party has become the Sur Christmas party.

I wonder if the people working at the local Chill’s can say the same.
Speaking of Sur, Lala is back working as a hostess,...

Deena Cortese has come a long ways since her "Jersey Shore" days! The reality star and her boyfriend Chris Buckner chatted with toofab's Brittany Kyles about their recent stint on VH1's "Couples Therapy" and spilled some details about Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's upcoming wedding with fiance Jionni Lavalle. Check out the video above to see if Deena and Chris worked out their problems, her biggest "Jersey Shore" regret and find out the theme of Snooki's wedding! It definitely sounds like Deena and Chris are heading in the right direction, and we're guessing there's a pretty good chance that these two will be saying "I do" in the future. While the couple's taking things slow for now, the 27-year-old did reveal that she will be walking down the aisle at Snooki's wedding along with her "Jersey Shore" costars, Jenni "JWoww" Farley and Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola, who will each be bridesmaids.

Sometimes it pays to be hard-headed.
Brittany Taltos, a reality TV star who gained notoriety after briefly appearing on "Jersey Shore" and "Bachelor Pad" with her twin sister, seems to have escaped serious injury after a pickup truck allegedly drove over her head while she was sunbathing.
According to the Gainesville Sun, 23-year-old Taltos said she had headphones on while sleepily lounging in her front yard in Gainesville, Florida on Sunday afternoon.
Her friend backed a Chevy Silverado through the yard to collect a cooler off their front porch, claimed Taltos on Facebook, but apparently didn't realize he'd driven over her head (or even know she was there) until she began screaming.
“I woke up with half a tire in my face,” she told the Independent Florida Alligator.
After paramedics rushed her to the hospital, firefighters observed a "noticeable depression in the lawn" -- likely from the weight of the truck on Taltos's head.

Bachelor Pad host Chris Harrison has claimed that none of the contestants were sad to see Brittany and Erica Taltos leave the show. The 22-year-old twins chose to exit the competition in last night's (July 30) episode after a series of arguments with each other. Harrison has now told TV Guide that the pair's final overnight row was "the most bizarre meltdown [he's] ever seen in the history of [the] franchise". "I thought they would calm down and be Ok, but I don't think there was one person in the house sad that they left," (more)...

It's only the second episode of ABC's "Bachelor Pad" (Mondays at 8 p.m. Et) and the fans are already dropping like flies. This week, two of them, twins Erica and Brittany, voluntarily walked off the show after an all-night argument.
Though the competition was stressing Brittany out, the idea of leaving was too stressful for Erica. “I don’t want to be here with you, honestly," Brittany told her.
And she wasn't alone. “I have been listening to their voices for the past seven hours," fellow housemate and "Bachelor" alum Jaclyn said in an interview. "I thought that my ears were, like, bleeding gallons of blood."
While many -- The Wall Street Journal included -- were happy to see the double departure, others, like Zap2It, didn't understand the twins' abrupt exit. “Were they homeschooled? … Locked in a basement with only each other for company and that's why one is...

We’re only two weeks in and already things are getting out of hand on Bachelor Pad. The great thing about this season is how much things have changed and will continue to change with every coming week. As soon as Paige and Swat said their goodbyes, I expected everyone to just go to bed and get rested for the next competition — but not this group. The twins, Erica and Brittany, had been after each other all week, and no one really knew why. It was pretty clear that if these two girls didn’t calm down, they were on a path to self-destruction.

After surviving the first rose ceremony, the remaining Bachelor Pad castmates enjoyed a little show from twins Brittany and Erica T. (no, not that kinda show, you naughty person). The blond ladies started bickering with each other because one said the other called her a "slut"—and don't ask us which is which, because we couldn't tell you—but finally between the yelling and crying while in matching pink dresses, the two made up. "You're not a slut, Ok? I would never have said that if I was sober," one of the twins offered. Once it was all rainbows and butterflies again, everyone found out that their challenge was to learn and perform a rhythmic...

Ladies (and gentlemen) it's that time again! Yep, Bachelor Pad is back for the third go 'round. This season, in a surprising twist, the veteran men and women who tried to find love on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will be competing against/coupling up with/picking on super fans in their search for love and money.
Collaborating with me this week is my (very witty) sister, Staci, a fellow Bachelor and Bachelorette fan. Here's what happened this week on BP3:
We're back at the old Bachelor mansion, greeted by Chris Harrison, who says this season's cast includes the lovers, the villains, the fighters, the good guys, the crazy girls, and the ones you love to hate from seasons past. So, who's who?
Chris, from Emily's season, is still nursing a broken heart but thinks BP3 will fix that right up. Lindzi, the equestrian runner-up in Ben's season,...

When ABC announced the cast for the third season of Bachelor Pad, an in-depth docuseries about the mating habits of drunk people, they left fans hanging by holding back one name, that of a “Mystery Man” from the current season of The Bachelorette. Well, rose lovers, today your curiosity will be satisfied. The final guy moving into the Bachelor Pad (premiering Monday, July 23) will be…
