On MTV’s The Challenge: Battle of the Exes, viewers began the season expecting drama and fights, and they haven’t been disappointed so far. But for every crazy moment the cameras catch for those watching at home, there are at least five more that go unnoticed. And for Challenge competitors Naomi Defensor and Leroy Garrett, most of their drama occurred when they were off the record.

Both Defensor and Garrett knew there was going to be trouble from the very beginning. “I was worried, just because of the relationship we had previously in Las Vegas,” said Garrett, “I thought she was gonna want to hook-up and her mind wouldn’t be focused on the game, and I didn’t know how well she would compete physically because she’s really not athletic like that, so in my mind, I really didn’t think we were gonna make it too far.”

Beyoncé Knowles recently announced on Australia’s Sunday Night TV show that she’ll give birth to her and husband Jay-Z’s first child in February.  “My husband and I have been together for 10 years,” she said on the program.  “All of my 20s.  I feel like it is time …”  The singer first revealed her pregnancy news in August on the black carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards.  She said she’s “so happy” and looking forward to the new addition to the family.

Comedians are usually social anomalies, and that’s why they’re so respected.  For anyone to stand in front of a gigantic crowd of people, living and dying purely on the words they say while at the same time trying to make a personal connection–takes a special type of person.

Eric Patrick is one of the hottest young comedians on the scene today–in more ways than one.   His time on The Real World: New Orleans may have introduced him to a wider audience, but his good looks, charm, and captivating comedic style have kept his audience growing, from the NYC scene, all the way to far-off Johannesburg and London.  Described by MTV.com as a “handsome ladies man,” and by Entertainment Weekly as “energetic and engaging,” Eric Patrick knows how to create and cultivate a relationship, as well as a crowd. Here are a few tips to help daters of either sex lighten up, straight from Patrick’s experience:

Don’t take rejection personally–it’s a fact of life. “A woman can usually tell within the first 10-15 minutes whether she likes a guy or not,” says Patrick.  “As you get older, you learn not to get hung up on it.  If a girl’s not into me, I just move on, because there are other ones out there.”

1. Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z: Listed as the “most powerful couple” for TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” in 2006, the duo dated for six years before secretly getting married in 2008.  OK Magazine reported that “the couple is very supportive of one another — making sure to attend performances and appearances together.”  That means we can definitely count on them to arrive together, since Beyoncé is up for a nomination, right?

2010 has been a big year for movies.  Sequels like Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3 have ruled at the box office, while animated films like Despicable Me and How to Train Your Dragon have made their marks as well.  Those aside, the year was also particularly crammed with many a chick flick.  From romantic comedies (When in Rome, Knight and Day) to romantic dramas (Dear John, Remember Me), nearly all of the movies have had easily identifiable themes and laughs that we learned from and enjoyed.  Out of all the great romantic movies we have seen this year, the following have had lessons that effortlessly apply in the real world:

As of Season 2 Episode 4 of Jersey Shore, nothing has changed between Ronnie and Sammi.  Ronnie continues to act single every night at the club only to go back home and get in bed with Sammi.  While fully aware of what Ronnie is doing, everyone else in the house remains afraid to tell Sammi the truth due to their friendship with Ronnie and their desire not to hurt Sammi.  Though Sammi suspects that something is up and even questions Angelina, no one brakes their silence until JWOWW suggests they write her an anonymous note.  Snooki and JWOWW then go over to an internet cafe to type up the letter detailing all of Ronnnie’s actions with other women so far this season.
