To the surprise of no one, Tila Tequila's skanky "Shot at Love" season one makeout partner, Brandi Ryan, was arrested last night. Drinks to that!
OC Sheriffs popped the sapphic skeeze for felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Paging Dr. Drew!
Brandi, whose MySpace page lists her occupation as "loan processor," also had a warrant out for having a suspended license and was cited for having no insurance.
UPDATE: Ryan was a passenger in a car that was pulled over for having illegal tinted windows. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that when they searched the car, Brandi tried to hide a meth pipe -- in her crotch.

Donald Trump might be thinking about taking a stab at bringing O.J. Simpson in for the next season of "Celebrity Apprentice," but NBC wants nothing to do with it. Can you blame 'em?
A source close to the Peacock tells TMZ that NBC has not -- and never was -- considering casting O.J. on the show.
Looks like instead of "You're fired!" the Juice will just have to settle for "You're guilty!"

MTV is so worried that the judges on "Rock the Cradle" are going to rob the cradle with some of the contestants, there's a clause in their contracts keeping them from doing so -- and it's all Paula Abdul's fault.
A well-placed source tells TMZ that the host and judges are contractually forbidden from doin' any dirty with the rock progeny on the show for at least six months after the end of the season. Insiders call it "The Paula Clause," after Abdul and former "Idol" contestant Corey Clark caused such a fuss after Clark blabbed about an alleged affair.
Judge June Ambrose, who's 33, has made no secret of her crush on contestant Crosby Loggins. If it weren't for that damn contract!
MTV didn't immediately return a request for comment.

Move over Gopher, Isaac and Julie the cruise director, because there's a new guy sitting at the Captain's table -- Alex Michel, the first "Bachelor" ('memba him?)!
Sucking the fumes from any remnant of his former fame, Alex, who remains single, will dole out roses all his sage relationship advice on the Love Boat (aka Princess Cruises) -- as part of something called the Department of Romance.
Alex joins an illustrious Romance panel of love experts including pocket-sized sex therapist Dr. Ruth and Captain Stubing himself, Gavin MacLeod. Who's watching Vicki?!
Maybe while he's out on the high seas, Alex can help Lt. Andy Baldwin take federally-funded dives to search for dead WWII soldiers -- in a speedo.

Just one week after her nude pics were "leaked" on the Internet, Audrina Patridge has gone from nobody the brunette on "The Hills" to stripping Pussycat Doll. Another skank is born!
Now that everyone knows what kind of girl she really is, Audrina is getting top billing -- and around $5k -- to take her clothes off with the Pussycat Dolls in Vegas on Friday. We're told her peeps have been working overtime to pimp her out hardcore to cash in on her new found notoriety. Just a few months ago, 'Drina couldn't get into Hyde -- now she's getting paid to host a night at PURE and drink for free in a VIP booth. Dontcha wish your naked pics were hot like hers!
Looks like Audrina is taking a page straight from the Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian Hollywood Handbook -- and her sex tape hasn't even surfaced yet!
Her rep tells us she's not performing, just introducing the Dolls on stage. The rep adds, for the record, this gig was locked in way before the nudie pics surfaced.

Former "Bachelor" bachelor Andy Baldwin just got back from the island of Palau in the South Pacific -- not on vacation, on a mission with the Navy. Now let's talk about why we the taxpayers are footing the bill on such BS.
Baldwin was among 20 military types who were on a search mission in the middle of the ocean. What, you ask, were they looking for? A B-24J bomber that went down during the war. Not Iraq. Not Vietnam. No, not Korea. We're talking WWII, as in more than 60 years ago.
Turns out, the military spends $52 million each year to find the remains of missing soldiers -- it's part of the POW/MIA program. That's all well and good depending on the circumstances. But a crash that is ancient history, at a time when the economy sucks and the Federal government is sucking the life out of everyone with taxes??
Baldwin, a Navy medic and diver, and crew found what could be human remains. We're told it's all being tested in the lab and it could take months, even years, to determine identities. At least he got a really good tan.

The hot rumor on "The Hills" was always that Lauren Conrad had a sex tape -- but who knew that it was Audrina who was the really naughty one all along? O. M. G.
TMZ obtained this snap of Audrina looking every bit the dirty schoolgirl, and taken, we hear, before "The Hills" and just after A-Pat graduated from high school. She'd done some bikini modeling, but decided to go the full Audi to have a go at Playboy. It wasn't like she needed the money, as anyone who watches "The Hills" knows.
In a statement made through her rep, Audrina tells TMZ "I took these photos years ago when I was just out of high school and beginning to model. I was young and very trusting of others and I didn't know to protect myself. It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me."
