'I am like my character in that I am black,' Jordan Carlos jokes to MTV News before tonight's premiere.

The characters on MTV's new scripted series "I Just Want My Pants Back" are young, occasionally romantically challenged and always up for a good time. The show, set in New York, is a nonstop party that follows the lives of several twentysomethings trying to find love and find themselves in the Big Apple.
The characters each play a role (sassy, neurotic, lustful) in their circle of friends, the same way that those other "Friends" did back in the 1990s. The show focuses on Jason, Tina and the rest of their Brooklyn-dwelling crew as they struggle with unemployment and general disaffection. But are the actors anything like their characters on the show? MTV News investigates.
Jordan Carlos and Elisabeth Hower play the show's only couple. Their characters, Eric and Stacey, are extremely driven (she goes to law school, he goes to med school) and very much in love, but for Carlos the similarities begin and end with only one trait. "I am a black person," he joked. "I am like my character in that I am black."
Hower, almost on cue, added, "I am also a girl in real life," before noting that there's some part of those people in their real-life personas. "No, I think there's a little bit of all of us in the characters. We all have to connect to our characters."
Meanwhile, Sunkrish Bala plays Bobby, the gang's pal and the owner of their local bodega. Always quick with some sassy advice, Bala notes that, well, he's not quite like Bobby. "I'm nothing like my character," he said. "But I know a lot of guys like [him]. I have a relationship with guys [like that]."
While one half of the cast finds it harder to relate to their small-screen counterparts, Kim Shaw and Peter Vack seem to relate a bit more to their characters on the show.
With notes of "Sex and the City" thanks to the characters' ups and downs in the romance department, Shaw plays the sexy, Samantha-esque Tina, while Vack plays Jason, the male hipster equivalent to Carrie Bradshaw.
"We're probably too much like them!" Shaw laughed. "I wish I was a little quicker with my words like Tina is. She says exactly what she's thinking all the time. I think [Vack is] not as sexually deviant as Jason is on the show."
"Jason's not a sexual deviant," Vack protested. "I'm a romantic like Jason."
"I Just Want My Pants Back" premieres tonight at 11 p.m. ET, right after "Jersey Shore." Stick with MTV's Remote Control blog for more coverage of the show.

Gwyneth Paltrow has had her share of high-profile relationships -- at least three before dating and marrying her rockstar husband Chris Martin. So when the Oscar winner revealed that one of her ex-boyfriends was a cheater, it's quickly got tongues wagging about which famous beau was unfaithful to her.
Showing off her sassy new hairdo, Ashley Tisdale was spotted leaving the Byron & Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills yesterday (February 1).
The ?High School Musical? hottie looked leggy in a pair of distressed denim shorts as she made her way to her car and drove off.
Earlier in the day, Tizzie treated herself to a round of retail therapy at the Planet Blue boutique nearby.
Joined by her mother Lisa and niece Mikayla, Ashley tweeted, ?Got the convertible top down #WildOne #feelinfree #happy,? on her way to the store.

Do not judge a book by its cover. Or an American Idol contestant by her glasses.
That's the back-handed compliment of a message Randy Jackson sent to viewers and Brittany Zika last night, telling the aspiring singer - following a great rendition of Brandi Carlile's "The Story" - that she looks "nothing like what you sound."
Meaning, we can only presume, that someone with a terrific voice ought to look more like Carrie Underwood and less like your local librarian?
Either way, Zika is off to Hollywood. Watch her audition now:
Along with Brittany, two other Portland-based hopefuls stood out this week:

Making for quite the good-looking trio, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban enjoyed a rare break from their hectic careers while taking daughter Faith Margaret out on the town in Los Angeles on Wednesday (February 1).
The "Australia" actress and her "You Gonna Fly" country singer hubby wore matching ensembles consisting of blue tops and jeans while their too-cute tot was clad in a light pink onesie for the midday munch expedition.
The family togetherness comes as Miss Kidman has been busy continuing work on her new movie "The Paperboy" while shooting scenes over the past week alongside co-star Zac Efron.
Along with "The Paperboy," Nicole also stars alongside Dermot Mulroney and Mia Wasikowska in the upcoming Dracula-based picture "Stoker" - with both movies due out later this year.
