"Cribs" is a classic staple of MTV programming. It just doesn't get more intimate than taking a tour of your favorite celebrities' homes, especially when they open their door to the master bedroom. (Someone still needs to come up with an intro more original than "This is where the magic happens.")
It was shocking enough when the show first aired and gave us a glimpse of ocean-size grottos and parking lots overflowing with Porches. But then "Teen Cribs" came along and made us REALLY seethe with envy over the sick pads of regular ol' high school students (well, the kind with really rich parents.)
In celebration of the four new episodes of "Teen Cribs" airing this Sunday at 11/10c, we combed through the celeb archive and picked the places we'd most like to crash at (and never leave). Check out our Top 6, then tell us whether you agree with our choices!
6. PRO SURFER JOHN JOHN FLORENCE
This kid's digs were totally no frills (he shared a room with his three little bros!), but we're suckers for a beautiful ocean view -- especially if the water's like 50 feet from your doorstep.
Coolest Amenity: Outdoor shower.
5. ZAC, ISAAC AND TAYLOR HANSON
Bigger isn't always better, and the Hanson brothers proved it when they invited us all into their Manhattan loft (which is still enormous in terms of New York apartment living). Between the colorful rugs, modern candelabra and antique sofas, these guys sure showed off some stellar decorating style.
Coolest Amenity: 18th-century French dining table.
4. OMARION, J-BOOG AND MARQUES HOUSTON
Hands down, our favorite thing about this house was the black-and-white portrait of Prince. In fact, that might be the only reason the boys from B2K made the list.
Coolest Amenity: A tie for second place between the lambskin linens and Batman rug.
Bonus: Check out Omarion's private crib in the video below.

"Real World: D.C." airs Wednesdays at 10/9c, but you don’t have to wait ’til then to check out the raw footage. Every day, we’ll be sifting through the Real World Dailies, so make sure you’re getting your fill of the D.C. crew. (Tough job, we know, but, hey -- someone’s gotta do it!)
Wednesday's episode of "Real World: D.C." depicted Josh in a new (spot)light. Prior to joining Wicked Liquid on stage at the Rock & Roll Hotel, he had some pregame jitters to shake off. So just how did he relax and prep for the show?
Check out this Real World Daily, where the frontman heads to a bar to practice spitting flames, which as we learn, is illegal. He's a newbie at the art of fire-breathing, but his mentor/bartender instructed him on proper technique so he could nail the scary stunt.

Leading into this week's "ABDC," we got the chance to hang with master illusionist Franz Harary. We asked him to walk us through tonight's tricks and explain where his inspiration comes from. (Sadly, no rabbits are involved.) Check it out:

Season 3 "ABDC" champ Steve Terada has an impressive resume: He has a black belt in martial arts, he starred in Snoop Dogg's "I Wanna Rock" music video and he can now add MTV.com guest blogger to his list of accomplishments! Steve debuted his skills at Tuesday's taping by grabbing the mic and checking in with the remaining four crews backstage. Have a look!
Posted 3/25/10 2:54 pm ET by Rebecca Brown in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows
Throughout this season of "16 and Pregnant," we've seen how unplanned pregnancy disrupts every part of normal life, from relationships to school. While all of the teen moms love their children unconditionally, it's still saddening to see their familiar daily routines come to an abrupt halt.
Next week we'll meet Nicole, a pregnant teen who experiences unexpected sharp pains the night before her baby shower. She's forced to leave her friends and head to the hospital. Check out this sneak peek and tune in Tuesday at 10/9c to find out if Nicole goes into labor two months early, or if she's given the doc's OK to return to her slumber party.
Posted 3/25/10 1:29 pm ET by Rebecca Brown in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows
Snooki and her (relatively) new sweetheart, Emilio, have flown way past just being inseparable -- they've morphed into a lip-pursing, mega-tan couple with matching piercings! And Snooki's not the only "Jersey" girl in favor of being twinsies with the beau (remember when JWOWW celebrated her birthday by color coordinating outfits with her boyfriend Tom?). Is this a new trend? If so, what should Snooki and Emilio get next? Take the poll!

Turquoise is one of those trends that seems to always come full circle. No matter how many fashion "Over It" lists the color winds up on, all it takes is one Ibiza-inspired celeb ensemble to bring this electric shade of green back in style. Then again, maybe Jayde Nicole is just wearing it to brand herself!
Last night, the "Hills'" scrappy starlet attended Capretta Fall 2010 Preview at Villa Blanca (the same resto that maybe-friends Kristin and Audrina were lunching at last week!).The brunette Bunny wore a super-short, off-white jersey dress with Caribbean Sea-colored rhinestones along the neckline and matching peep-toe shooties.
+ What do you think of Jayde's look? Is it too soon for summery tones, or are you totally feeling the aquamarine?
Posted 3/25/10 12:00 am ET by Lisa Chudnofsky in The Hills, Top TV Shows
Last season, "Hills" viewers let out a collective "whaa" as Lauren Conrad blew our favorite Popsicle stand and headed off to write a best-selling novel (all about the aforementioned Popsicle stand). And now comes an even bigger blow. Entertainment Weekly just announced that Season 6 (premiering April 29 at 10/9c) will mark the end of "The Hills" entirely. Yes, as in, "It's so over, Justin Bobby." Cue the official dunzo countdown of the pop-cultural phenomenon, which bore a two-headed fame monster named Speidi and one of the biggest rivalries since "Israel and Iran"! (Man, we're really gonna miss Kristin Cavallari and Spencer Pratt's quotables.)
+ How do you feel about this bombshell? Shocked and appalled, or had you already mentally prepared for the finish line? Take the poll and sound off about how much you'll miss one of the most popular series in MTV history.

A few weeks ago, we watched "Real World: D.C." housemate Mike officially come out to his family. It was an emotional unveiling that ended on a surprisingly happy note. Tonight's episode involved the same issue, but this time, it was Mike's boyfriend Tanner who made his declaration. After an eye-opening visit to D.C., Tanner returned to Colorado eager to demonstrate his new-found courage with his family. Unfortunately, he met resistance on all fronts.
The battle for acceptance (whether it be based on race, sexuality or religion) is not limited to the Real World cast members -- it's a ubiquitous struggle that perhaps all of us can relate to, to some degree.
In the past few years, the topic of whether or not to legalize same-sex marriage has pitched a tent at every office water cooler across the country. Regardless of whether or not you think Tanner's parents reacted appropriately to their son's news, which side of the debate do you stand on? Take the poll!

There are certain rules that roomies should always follow, and tonight's episode of "Real World: D.C." addressed one of them: Don't hit on your roommate's mom.
When Josh brought Ty and Andrew home with him to attend a wedding, he anticipated that they'd be taken aback by the vibrant lifestyle of South Philly, but he definitely didn't foresee a relationship brewing between Ty and his own mom! Ty totally flirted with Ms. MILF throughout the wedding, which put Josh in a pissy mood. But was it warranted? Take the poll, then check out our D.C. on the DL exclusive where Josh vents his lingering frustration.
