Rarely does feared “Challenge” champ Emily Schromm require a helping hand (she’s sitting pretty with a 5-0 elimination round record). But the fitness guru is in the race to be Women’s Health‘s Next Fitness Star, and your vote could ensure she’s a winner.

Schromm, who first appeared on “Real World: D.C.” in 2009, was plucked from a pool of thousands of buzzworthy personal trainers as one of five semifinalists fighting for the magazine’s honor. The winner will be the face of Women’s Health’s next DVD project — and if you ask us, there’s nobody better than Em, whose Unleashed Fitness personal training business is booming.

See what Schromm told us about her path from “Real World” to present day, watch her pitch to be the Next Fitness Star and vote for her daily from now until August 1!

How were you selected to be a Next Fitness Star semifinalist?
I’ve been a trainer for three years, and I have a couple of clients in Denver that brought it to my attention. It was an opportunity to take at-home workouts to the next level through your own DVD series, and that’s sort of what I’ve been doing with my 21 Day Challenge online. But I wanted to make my demographic bigger, so I randomly applied, and they told me a week later that I’d been selected.

What would it mean to you to win?
I’m definitely not the typical Women’s ...

If you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass of milk. If you give a teen wolf a tattoo, he’s going to ask for, like, a million more.

“Teen Wolf” star Tyler Posey, whose double-bar arm tattoos were incorporated into Season 3 of the show, is evolving into an ink fanatic. And in the “Teen Wolf After After Show” clip below, he reveals to host Morgan Evans that he’s already in the market for another mark. TyPo’s a little mum on the details, but this much is clear: His left thigh is about to become a whole lot more interesting. (Cue the high-pitched squees.)

“I don’t like to talk about it before I have it — I just kind of like it to be a natural thing and let the world find out,” he says as he surveys the spot in question. “It’s gonna be sweet.”

And though Scott McCall’s life will continue to play out in true sci-fi fashion during Season 4 of “Teen Wolf,” the Beacon Hills lacrosse star still isn’t ready to let the force be with him. According to Tyler, Scott still hasn’t seen “Star Wars” — and probably won’t anytime soon.

“I kind of like that he hasn’t [watched it] yet,” Tyler says. “It gives Stiles and Scott something to feud about. And they’re silly and funny and cute when they fight.”

The two are, indeed, the cutest couple — so when can we ...

Darlene Egelhoff wasn’t thrilled when her daughter Heidi Montag married Spencer Pratt on “The Hills.” But according to Heidi, her mother is all smiles about the couple’s latest endeavor.

Tonight, Heidi will temporarily trade lives and partners with Olympic Gold medalist Amanda Beard on ABC’s “Celebrity Wife Swap.” And though the episode has yet to air, Heidi says the promos have already given Darlene hope that the public will finally see a different, more genuine side of her little girl.

“My mom saw the preview and she told me, ‘I can tell this is the first opportunity that you’ve ever had to be you,’” Heidi shared with Fox News yesterday. “It’s just great to have that moment. It was really fun to just be more authentic and be in a situation and see what happens.”

“Hills” flashback: Darlene visits Los Angeles after getting word that Heidi and Spencer eloped in Mexico.

The blonde bombshell has been rather forthcoming about her own quest to become a parent despite husband Spencer’s hesitation, and noted in the Fox News interview that filming tonight’s episode awakened a maternal instinct in her.

“I think when [Amanda's child] Doone fell asleep on me the first night, I mean, it just really solidified my longing for motherhood — it was everything I thought it would be,” she revealed, adding that she hopes to get pregnant within a year and ultimately have two or three kids.

Spencer, however, is still perfectly comfortable waiting ...

Let this be a lesson — in Beacon Hills, “dead” is a relative term.

On tonight’s “Teen Wolf” Season 4 premiere, Scott, Kira, Stiles, Lydia and Malia traveled south of the border to reclaim a kidnapped Derek. They’d gotten word that a crew of Mexican werewolf hunters known as The Calaveras had abducted him, but when they arrived at the compound with $50,000 in bail money, they learned the group didn’t have him. And, worse, the deadly Kate Argent had recently escaped from their grip.

After helping Scott realize that Kate was still alive by administering memory-triggering torture, The Cavaleras’ head honcho Araya explained that when her crew of hunters got word that Kate’s throat had been slashed by Peter Hale, they snatched her body away from its casket and imprisoned her. The reason: They feared that if Kate hadn’t been killed, she would eventually “turn.” Well, their suspicions were valid, and after fully healing, Kate, who’d transformed into a werejaguar, murdered six Calaveras hunters and stole away to a nearby ghost town known as “La Iglesia.” The Calaveras’ mercenary Braeden told Scott’s pack that no one who’d ever approached Kate’s hideout had survived, but the teens went after it — and Derek — all the same.

When Scott’s pack arrived at the church which Derek and Kate were rumored to be hidden beneath, they found the former, who’d been Benjamin Button’ed, but not the latter. It’s not clear ...

Skilled guidance counselors are compassionate, patient and, evidently, in short supply around Palos Hills.

There’s no doubt that Valerie Marks has good intentions. But from the moment she and Jenna Hamilton met, it was clear that Palos Hills High School’s moral authority was a few Cheez Doodles short of a party mix. Since Jenna’s sophomore year, Val has encouraged tramp stamps, told one of her favorite pupils to “go f**k [herself]” and condoned cyber-stalking. And three years later, she’s still the same. That’s our gal!

Val is now a PHHS staple, but is she really in a position to dole out advice? Below are five reasons (culled from Season 4 alone) she should consider some guidance of her own before acting as Buddha to others. There’s no shame in therapy, V!

She laughed at a student’s college dreams.
Jenna desperately needed support after the class ranks were released and she found herself toward the bottom of the list. Instead, her pain was literally laughed off by Val, who told her pigs would fly sooner than a college would admit J-Town. Tough love x10.

She modeled herself after the “sophomore sluts.“
We applaud Val for her hard stance against slut-shaming, but her support seemed a bit excessive when she, herself, copied the clique’s look. A neon-orange hair extension indicating a talent for oral sex probably won’t earn her the respect of the superintendent…

She gave Sadie Saxton authority over another human being.
The icy Sadie warmed up a ...

Malia Tate hasn’t been human for long, but it’s been time enough to shake the “Teen Wolf” fan base to its core. Last season, the werecoyote and Stiles got it on in the creepy Eichen House, begging the question, “WHAT ABOUT STYDIA?” Now, in an interview with Hollywood Life, the actress behind Malia, Shelley Hennig, says the characters’ relationship will strengthen in the coming episodes.

“In Season 4, you see [Malia] accepting being human, and I think a lot of that has to do with the connection that she has with Stiles,” Hennig says. “Coyotes are very faithful and loyal animals, and she finds her mate. Apparently, coyotes find their mate, and they mate for life, because they are loyal. So she found her partner, and it’s Stiles. And luckily, he reciprocates.”

Hennig reveals that Malia’s brashness (hey, it’s tough ditching your animal instincts) will turn off a lot of the pack in the upcoming episodes, but that Stiles will remain in her corner and is committed to helping her make the leap from beast to human. Still, things won’t all be hunky dory for the duo.

“You’ll see that Stiles and Malia are best friends, but I’m sure, just like every partnership, there comes something that puts you at a crossroads,” she says. “And so, that might happen this season, and it’ll get tricky.”

Be sure to tune in to the Season 4 premiere of “Teen Wolf” TONIGHT at 10/9c!
