Real Chance of Love will premiere on VH1 in the next couple weeks.

But you needn't wait even a couple seconds to get an early look at this new reality dating series. Below, we've published a trio of clips from the season premiere.

The first depicts Real and Chance’s initial meeting with the desperate skanks contestants; in the second, the boys hold a the naming ceremony for their potential mates; and we get to see Chance in action with a remarkable young lady named Bubbles in the final clip.

Enjoy!

We're mere days away from the premiere of Rock of Love Girls: Charm School. Try to contain your excitement, as we prepare readers for the event with a few words from a trio of the show's stars.

What do Megan, Brandi C., and Lacey have to say about their latest foray into reality TV humiliation?

Megan Hauserman: Out of all the girls, who needs Charm School the most?
I think the girl who needs it the most is going to get the least out of it, and that’s Heather. She’s, like, been garbage her whole life and I feel like if nothing has clicked by now, when she’s pushing 40, she’s just a waste of space.

Brandi Cunningham: How do you feel about going to Charm School?
My friend’s there, I love Megan, and I think that everyone is stupid. I’ve gone through the people in my head and they’re just filler. They’re like children. They need daycare. They need to be put in a playpen and just leave me alone.

Lacey Conner: Is there anyone you’re not looking forward to dealing with?
I’m not sure how it’s gonna go down with Heather. We were friends for a long time, but she’s kinda done some crappy things to me and said some crappy things. Also, she hates my really good friend, Brandi C. I don’t know how that’s gonna fly.

Here's an early look at this season's Celebrity Apprentice.

In this scene, Khloe Kardashian attempts to sell cupcakes to residents of New York City. We're surprised to see her shirt still on as she does:

Derek Hough is making news on the dance floor these days, as he and season seven partner Brooke Burke are leading the competition.

But we're more curious about his life away from the camera, as this professional has admitted that he's living with former Dancing with the Stars partner - and current girlfriend - Shannon Elizabeth.

“[Mark Ballas] and I have an apartment, and I’m supposed to be living there,” Hough told People Magazine, “but I live with Shannon at her house, and our three [Almost Amy] bandmates live with Shannon and I.”

Sounds like a bustling mansion, but Hough insists the actress doesn't mind.

“She was like, ‘They can stay here until they find a new place,’ And, once they started talking about finding a new place, Shannon and I were like, ‘Wait, we’re going to miss them when they go.’ And we were like, ‘Why don’t you just stay here? We’ll make rooms up for everyone.’”

Doing battle over Tiffany Pollard didn't tear Real and Chance apart (or gross them out).

As a result, these self-described "Staillionaires" are returning to the reality show airwaves with Real Chance of Love. Look for it on VH1 starting November 3.

The two studs recently posed for a series of promotional pictures for the series. To wit:

People Magazine has a unique look at last night's Dancing with the Stars.

Many things - such as perfect 10 from Brooke Burke and Derek Hough - stood out in our view, but none more than the giant teddy bear, Warren Sapp, proving once again that he's a serious contender.

Here's what the magazine had to say about him and partner Kym Johnson:

Sapp continues to razzle, dazzle, and charm his way up the leader board. Last week’s paso doble impressed the judges enough to merit an encore dance — and Warren did not disappoint this week. His “beautiful tyrant” Johnson used the week of practice to transform Sapp from “all man” to “southern gentleman” for their Viennese waltz.

The pair kept pace with frontrunners Burke and Hough, despite the fact that Sapp felt it necessary to explain his “wine and pink” ensemble. “It reminds me of one of those Easters, when your mom dresses you and you don’t know any better,” he said with a laugh. “Then you look back on the pictures and you’re like, ‘Why’d you have me in one of those three piece suits? Why’d I have that vest on?’”

How far can Warren Sapp go this season on Dancing with the Stars?

The Hills are alive ... with music industry peeps screwing up their dates.

The Hills are alive ... with shaggy, loser boyfriends who won't go away.

The Hills are alive ... with nosy siblings butting into things.

The Hills are alive ... with feuds that will not die.

Megan Hauserman has appeared on Beauty and the Geek, Rock of Love 2, I Love Money and, later this month, Rock of Love Girls: Charm School.

For all her reality TV appearances, though, this busty blonde isn't exactly a talker. She's more like a drunk laugher.

Here are highlights from an interview Megan gave following her elimination on the I Love Money season finale:

I thought it was weird that you said you didn’t come to win, you just came to play the game.
I never thought I was going to win. I just thought the show would be fun and it was.

I never watched Beauty and the Geek, but I know that you won, so you were obviously a big part of that show. But was being the star of I Love Money a different experience for you?
Yeah. With Beauty and the Geek, they wanted to bring out the good in you. This show was the opposite. It brought out the worst in you.

If you had to have sex with a girl, would you pick Brandi?
No! (Laughs hysterically.) I could never, under any circumstances. We share a bed. But it’s a full-size bed.

You stroked her.
I was drunk!

Is that your excuse for everything?
Well, it is a big part of things.

Rodeo told me that you dropped Lily on the head and that’s why she’s retarded. Is that true?
That is not true. It may have added, but… (laughs). She jumped out of my arms when she was a baby and she hit her head. It was an accident. My mom told me that I jumped out of her arms when I was a baby, too.

Contrary to the score they received from judge Len Goodman last night, Brooke Burke and Derek Hough are not perfect.

The tandem received the highest combined marks for the third consecutive week, but last night's Dancing with the Stars was highlighted - or lowlighted, depending on your view - by a training fight between this pair. In happier news, viewers were treated to "the softer side of Sapp," as Warren Sapp referred to himself prior to his solid routine with Kym Johnson.

Read about it all now in our full recap.

Squabbles aside, Brooke Burke and Derek Hough are the team to beat on Dancing with the Stars.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta debuts Tuesday.

Naturally, NeNe Leakes and Lisa Wu Hartwell had something to say about their first season of reality TV. The pair recently sat down for an interview with People. Here are excerpts from it:

Did you watch any past Housewives seasons? Which women do you feel most similarly to?
NeNe Leakes: I watched all their seasons. The very first season they had a young lady in the show by the name of Jo and I thought I could see myself in her so much . . . She had a lot of personality. She just was out there and I thought she really kept it real. And then Vicki is a little loud. I’m loud, too, so I could see myself being like Vicki. And then I did watch the New York housewives and the only one I thought that I could kind of relate to was the Countess…She had a little smart way of doing things.

What do you hope viewers will learn about your lives in Atlanta? How is it different from New York or Orange County?
NeNe Leakes: We’re all strong–really strong women. And all these women, you know,
we have our differences in opinion but all of these women are truly smart women.
Lisa Wu Hartwell: We’re very strong and successful by our own right. You don’t have to sit
around the house and just spend your husband’s money. You can have your own thing going on and be independent. I’m from Los Angeles and we’re a little bit more laid-back in Los Angeles. But, you know, a lot of the vibe in Atlanta is like I’ve worked hard for it, why not show it?
