We can't imagine how hard it must be for a pregnant teenager to break the initial news to her parents. While Brooke's mom and dad seemed incredibly supportive of their daughter on last night's episode of "16 and Pregnant," it turns out that Brooke wasn't completely comfortable discussing how she got pregnant in the first place.
Check out a bonus scene from the episode, where the family puts her on the spot for being unable to say the word "sex" in public. Her mom, Misty, suggests that she and Cody grow up fast before the baby comes, otherwise things are gonna be even tougher than they need to be.

She wouldn't put it past them, but Audrina Patridge laughed off Jimmy Kimmel's accusation that Heidi and Spencer Pratt were possibly the culprits behind her "Dancing with the Stars" elimination last night. Shocked that she was ousted (she got the second highest score from the judges for this week's performance!), Kimmel went on a bit of a blame tirade, even implying in his opening monologue that class act Lauren Conrad could have had something to do with it (inconceivable!). 'Course, Jimmy was just being his usual jokester self, yet he did get kinda serious when it came time to question Drina's dance partner, Tony Dovolani, saying that he was a bad-luck charm. (Poor Tony's been on the show for 10 seasons and still hasn't won a competition.)
Ya have to appreciate Jimmy's attempt to make light of Audrina's premature departure, but unfortunately, the only people to point the finger at are the viewers for not calling in and voting. Guess you're all gonna have to make it up to our girl by watching her new reality TV show on VH1!

Ever since filming wrapped for Season 3 of "Jersey Shore," the gang hasn't slowed down for a second. In between championing a variety of anti-cyberbullying campaigns and luring in ladies with his (spray) tan, Vinny's been focused on starting an acting career. So focused, in fact, that he's already secured a gig!
Last week we sent a photog to the set of "The Hard Times of RJ Berger," where Vinny was shooting a guest-starring spot as the leading man's cousin (ha!). It's a far cry from the part of a mental hospital patient, but it sounds like a great starting point. Check out pix from what he described on Twitter as the "best time" of his life, then tell us if you're excited to see Vinny break out from behind the gelato counter and bust into the world of scripted television!

After being dubbed the "Show Pony" following her first performance on "Dancing with the Stars," we were certain that Audrina Patridge and her partner, Tony Dovolani, would be in the competition for the long haul. Unfortch, even earning the second highest scores from the judges on Monday night's episode (trailing only Brandy) wasn't enough to impress the call-in voters. "I was really shocked," she told CNN following their dismissal. "I've learned a lot about myself and am going to take that with me."
There's no time to wallow in her loss because Audrina has a new reality program in the works! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former "Hills" star just signed a deal with VH1 to let cameras trail her as she pursues an acting career in Hollywood. Filming is slated to begin in 2011.

Many people follow teenage pregnancy rates in America and question whether or not sex education works. On tonight's episode of "16 and Pregnant," young mom Brooke revealed that her pregnancy was unexpected, but it wasn't because she was completely clueless about available prevention methods.
Check out the interview below, where Brooke says that she was actually on the pill when she got pregnant but an insurance snafu caused her to skip a few days (missing even one dose renders the pill less effective and requires that women find another method to use as a backup). The new mom says she's now using Mirena, an IUD that lasts between five and 12 years. Learn more about it in this "16 and Pregnant" Discussion Guide, plus after the jump find out how the first year of parenting is going for Brooke and Cody.

Tonight's premiere of "16 and Pregnant" introduced us to Brooke, a high school junior whose life was flipped upside down when she got pregnant. Thankfully, her family was supportive and allowed her boyfriend-turned-husband, Cody, to move in with them so they could begin saving. In lieu of paying rent, the young couple agreed to perform chores, but finances were still tight. After analyzing their credit card statements, they realized they wouldn't be packing up anytime soon.
+ Cody's already graduated and working, but he and Brooke still have a long way to go before they can move out on their own. Assuming he has the time, should he get a second job? Take the poll and weigh in!

What's there to do when everybody's dressing like a "Jersey Shore" cast member for Halloween, and you're an actual "Jersey Shore" cast member? Just go for the second best costume of the year: Justin Bieber. It certainly wouldn't be difficult for Pauly D, who recently told Jay Leno that his hair's natural state closely resembles that of the pop star.
Done and done. According to TooFab.com, Pauly will, in fact, be dee-jaying dressed as The Biebs on Oct. 30 at Moon Nightclub in the Palms Casino Resort "wearing his hair product-free for the first time in public." That is, if you don't count the time he did it in Miami. Remember this "Jersey Shore" Dailies clip?

If watching "16 and Pregnant" has shown us anything, it's that having a baby before you're ready means making numerous sacrifices. Between the almost certain reality of being forced to rearrange post-high-school plans and struggle with financial instability (not to mention facing disappointed family members and judgmental peers), it's a rough road for anyone to go down. At least, that's what it looks like to us. And with tonight's premiere of "16 and Pregnant," we got to wondering how many viewers share our opinion.
The last thing we want is to sound preachy--it just seems so damn hard to deal with an unplanned pregnancy, especially at such a young age. Or does it? We want to hear whether or not you think becoming a teen mom is something you could take on if necessary. Vote in the poll, then tell us your reasoning in the comments.

"Jersey Shore" airs Thursdays at 10/9c, but you don’t have to wait 'til then to check out the raw footage. Throughout the week, we’ll be sifting through the Jersey Shore Dailies to make sure you're getting your fill of the crew in Miami. Check out the latest featured clip below.
As the family gathered around the dining table on last week's season finale of "Jersey Shore," the roomies raised their bevs up high and toasted to one another. Yeah, everyone was thankful for Mike's tasty Sunday meals, but they were really going to miss Pauly D and his outrageous outbursts the most. And who can blame them? We wouldn't want to pass up on an opportunity to watch him march around the house alerting everyone that T-shirt Time was near, or skip out on him mourning the tragic and untimely loss of their dear friend, Charlie the Lobster.
Check out this "Jersey Shore Daily," where the housemates admit that Pauly's spontaneous chatter and catchy verses were the very thing that kept everyone together in Miami.

Q: Kevin, what's your favorite movie?
A: "Back to the Future."
That's 100 percent true. I love the entire trilogy. Whenever one of those movies is on TV, which seems to be every day, I get sucked in. I've probably wasted hundreds of hours of my life watching Marty McFly screw up (and fix) history (and the future).
You probably already knew that the film's 25 year anniversary was coming up, but you may not have realized that it's actually today, Oct. 26!
On this day, 25 years ago, the adventures of Marty and Doc began, but after all this time, I still have a few questions about the movie:
Why were they friends? Marty was a teenager and Doc was an old man. When you think about it, it's a pretty weird relationship. If I ever invent a time machine, I'm gonna go back to the exact moment they met and figure this one out.
Another question, and I'm certainly not the first to ask this: Where was the second DeLorean in Part III? Marty showed up in the Old West in a DeLorean. Doc was already there. How did he get there?
Regardless of my questions, the movies are great and I'm thrilled that this anniversary is giving us an opportunity to celebrate them. I'm also thrilled that Nike is apparently coming out with a Marty McFly shoe to commemorate the silver anniversary. Check it out:
I want them! Happy Anniversary, "BTTF"!
