The show might be called Run's House, but that doesn't mean Rev Run's the only Simmons who knows how to rock a rhyme that's right on time. Turns out, rapping's not just a recessive gene after all! And while we're by no means suggesting that EVERY son, daughter or illegitimate child of a rapper grab the mic (take note, Vanilla Ice Jr.!), we ARE saying JoJo's most definitely inherited his daddy's slow-jammin' skillz.

Check out "Gotta Have Her," (a.k.a. the new video from JoJo and his squad, Team Blackout) and watch as Rev Run's eldest son represents for rap royalty -- and proves he was seriously born to spit verse.

Earlier this season, we weren't sure if Day26 would ever finish their sophomore album. Hell, we weren't sure if there would even BE a Day26. But despite the occasional (semi-frequent) thrown punch, the boys stuck it out -- and finished out the season closer than ever. Oh, and while they were at it? They also managed to put out the number two bestselling album in the country.

Yep, Miley Cyrus might've topped the Billboard charts last week, but Day26 was right behind her, selling 113,000 copies (boo-yah!) of their brand-new album, Forever In A Day. Impressive? You bet, especially considering the guys were barely even on speaking terms for half their studio sessions.

Hey, nothin' says "I survived the Making the Band curse" like hugging it out on national tv. But we're thinking lighting up the Billboard charts couldn't hurt either ...

+ Bonus: Get your happy-dance on by watching Day26 and Diddy perform "Imma Put It On Her" live, at the Making the Band 4, Season 3 finale!

Erin's big mouth is always getting her into trouble. It's also one of the main reasons why we worship her. And since Miss Lucas seems to have contracted a serious linguistic disorder -- we believe the technical name is "verbal diarrhea" -- we've learned not to take anything she says too seriously. Good thing, too, seeing as how she's been blabbier than eva these days.

Need a recent example of Erin's chronic foot-in-mouthiness? Peep this quote she gave to WalletPop.com about how the recession's changed her life:

"Anyone who's not supportive of me staying sober obviously has to go," Steve-O of Jackass fame recently told MTV News. "But on the other hand, there's not really a lot of people who don't want me to stay sober. I mean, I was a nightmare."

Ask anyone who knew him over one year ago and they'll agree: Steve-O was on a downward spiral laced with drugs and alcohol. It took an intervention from his friends to help him come up for air and slowly get his life back together, and the bulk of the process was caught on camera.

What started out as a personal project to film his own crazy lifestyle eventually morphed into a serious documentary about Steve's struggle to get sober -- and stay sober. Steve-O: Demise and Rise premieres this Sunday, May 3, at 10pm, but until then you can check out the show trailer at jackassworld.com and watch his MTV News interview about life on the other side. Here's a taste:

Watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenges is like eating potato chips — once you start, you can’t stop. And since Wednesdays (at 10pm) always seem so far away, we’ll be sifting through the Challenge Dailies every weekday afternoon to give you your daily dose of The Duel 2. You’re welcome.

Aneesa always seems more into getting physical (and/or exercising her mouth) than hooking up in these challenge thingamajigs. But it turns out she's no stranger to Challengecest herself. Not only did she give Dunbar a sensual rubdown here in New Zealand (which may or may not have led to sexytime!) but she apparently used to have a thing goin' with Rachel. Sure, it was seven years ago and there's no *actual* reason to bring it up now. Unless, of course, Aneesa's totally, completely, irrationally jealous of the whole Rachel/Jenn sitch ...

+ Real World Dailies has been nominated for two Webby awards! (Woot, woot!) Show some love by checking out their “People’s Voice” nominee page — and casting your vote — today!

Not only was it a surprise to hear that Lauren Conrad had a change of heart and decided to attend Speidi's wedding this past weekend, but we also found it rather interesting that Kristin Cavallari of MTV's Laguna Beach days also showed her face at the shindig. LC's ex-frenemy even caught the bouquet!

It's been a while since we've seen Kristin in the mix, so her appearance at the wedding has sparked lotsa rumors, most notably that she'll be signing on for the next season of The Hills. And though we can't provide any answers at this time, we can say one thing: PLEASE. LET IT. BE TRUE. Man, we've missed that girl...

Take our poll and tell us whether you think Kristin can fill LC's shoes, then watch some fan-recorded video of Speidi's wedding extravaganza after the jump!

We're not gonna lie and say we're not kinda lovin' the whole Taking the Stage love triangle (boy likes girl, boy accidentally-on-purpose kisses other girl) Jasmine, Mia and Tyler have happening. But we also immensely enjoy watching/living vicariously through those amaaaaazing performances (Mia's hot pants! JJ's club jams! Jasmine's angry/emotive dance solos!)

+ Think the show should be lighter on the drama/heavier on the dirty dancing? Or would you rather see more awkward relationship moments (and less of Mia's vocal stylings)? Now that we've seen what these kids can do, let us know whether you're more interested in their personal lives -- or their off-the-hook performances.

Being the new girl is never easy. But we think Lindsay did an amazing job of jumping right in -- and letting the MTV cameras into her life (and her overcrowded dorm room) and speaking out against an important issue that affects nearly ALL college co-eds today: getting sexiled.

Yep, nerd or not, NOBODY likes hanging out in the library 24/7 to accommodate their roomie (and her always-there boyfriend). But laying down the law isn't easy -- especially when it means tattling to the R.A. and/or waging war against the person who shares your bathroom/fridge/300 square-foot IKEA sanctuary.

+ Think Lindsay did the right thing by standing up to her roommate Miki? Or were those Boy Rules a bit extreme ('specially the part about how Miki's boyf has a 10pm curfew)? Let us know how you think Linds on her first day of College.

The premiere of College Life all but spelled out the stereotypes linked with its student stars. Kevin's the party guy, Andrea's the squeaky-clean virgin, Jordan's the dorm room downer, etc. But now that we're further into the cast members' stories, it's become obvious that there's much more to each of them. Right? And now that you have a better understanding of who's who, we thought we'd ask everyone which of these guys you wouldn't mind sharing your personal space with. Or to rephrase, who would be the least likely to drive you up a wall if they were your roommate? Take the poll!

If you're looking for straight-edge, Kevin's probably not your guy. But, let's face it: most girls in college (and, um, in life) are lookin' for a guy who knows how to have a good time. And we can't think of anyone we'd rather party it up with than Kevin.

Sure, dressing up like a tampon is kinda gross. On the other hand, it's also kinda hilarious. Besides, it's not like Kevin's trying to hide who he is. (Pssst. Ladies. He already told you he's "not a nesting creature.") So quit trying to turn him into boyfriend material and appreciate him for what he is: a goofy, adorable free spirit who knows just enough math to count the number of beers in a six-pack. (Or, ahem, keep a running tally of his conquests.)

+ Think Kevin's got an unfair rep? Or does he need to lay off the dormcest (and/or come up with a better excuse than "I've got my period")? Let us know whether you think he's a total womanizer -- or a playa with a heart of gold.
