Chelsea's still feeling cautious about Aubree's father's reemergence, but on tonight's episode of "Teen Mom 2," Adam did begin to prove that he's capable of change. Not only did he step up his fathering duties (he shocked Chelsea by feeding the baby while she met with a beauty school admissions counselor) but we (thankfully) didn't witness any of his old bad-boy behavior. He even told a friend that it was time for him to grow up and "quit being a dumbass."
We like where things are going with Chelsea and Adam, but we're a bit scared that she's rushing into a serious commitment before he completely earns back her trust. She's scared, too.
In this clip from the latest "Teen Mom 2 After Show," Chelsea tells host SuChin Pak that she was reluctant to forgive Adam completely, but having her family intact came first. "If he was some random guy that wasn't [Aubree's] dad and was treating me bad, I wouldn't give him so many chances, but it's her father," she says. Check out the video, plus take our poll and tell us whether or not you think Adam has changed.

Earlier today we had the pleasure of confirming the news that the fourth season of "Jersey Shore" will be shot abroad in Italy. Immediately the cast starting tweeting their excitement, and Pauly D even gave us a call to share his expectations of the club scene, Vinny's relatives and, of course, the women in the 'old country.' Check out our chat with him below.
First, how freakin' psyched are you?
Oh my God, I'm so excited. I'm going to Italy, I can't believe it! It's always been a dream of mine.
So you've never been there?
No, but I have family there. My mother keeps in contact with them, but I don't speak the language...Maybe I can meet up with them, but I'll have to brush up on my Italian. I don't know how to say 'Gym, Tanning, Laundry' in Italian! Hey, do you know what time 'T-Shirt Time' is in Italy? This is the stuff I think about.
I imagine you'll be able to make it any time you want, no? Hopefully you can get in some T-Shirt Time with your relatives, but we hear it's a definite that you'll be meeting Vinny's extended family...
Yes! The food his family makes is amazing so I'm looking forward to hopefully being fed by them.
Where are you hoping to have a home base?
Rome or Milan would be cool. The night scene is supposed to be insane in Rome.
What are your expectations of Italian women?
I heard they're hot. Like, real Italian women, and they might even be the type to take home to your mother. I could find The One out there...you never know.
Do you think you'll have a harder time bringing Italian women back to the bachelor pad?
I'm a little worried about that. It's gonna be hard because we have a language barrier, and they might not know who we are. That's fine though, you just have to be yourself and hopefully they'll be into you.

Every "Jersey Shore" fan recognizes that animal print is as much a part of Snooki's style as fluorescent trucker hats and frighteningly disheveled slippers, which is why we had to look twice when we spotted this photo of Deena. In Miami last week to host an event at Mansion nightclub, the newest member of the Seaside clan stepped out in a skin-tight cheetah print dress with black peep-toe heels. All she needed to do was swap the crinkly curls for a pouf and she would've passed for her housemate!
+ Which "Jersey Shore" guidette rocks animal print better? Take the poll and let us know!

If watching "I Used To Be Fat" has inspired you to get your butt into shape, don't feel that you need to limit yourself to the gym just because it's cold outside. There are plenty of winter-related activities that burn loads of calories and fat. Let's check out some outdoor action that will help you lose weight:
Shoveling Snow
Calories Burned: 200 per 1/2 hour
Muscles Worked: Next time someone asks you to head outside and clean the walkway, consider it a fun fitness task! Shoveling snow works the lower back, shoulders, arms and core, but it's very important that you maintain correct form throughout to prevent lower back injury. Lift with your legs!
Snowboarding
Calories Burned: 330 per hour
Muscles Worked: Once you get the hang of snowboarding, it's an intense sport that forces you to work your core, quads, hamstrings and calves. Spending a day on the slopes is thrilling and you don't realize that you're actually getting a full workout.
Ice Skating
Calories Burned: 480 per hour of moderate skating
Muscles Worked: Depending on how comfortable you are on skates, you can get a great aerobic workout, plus strengthen the inner thighs and glutes. You're also forced to work on balance, which fires tons of small muscles and engages your core.
Snowshoeing
Calories Burned: 557 per hour
Muscles Worked: Trudging through dense snow is an all-over workout that engages the buttocks, quads, hamstrings, calves and even your core.
*Calorie burn estimates are based on a 145-pound woman. They vary based on weight and the intensity of each exercise.

Yes, yesss, y'all -- the rumors on TMZ are true. "Jersey Shore" will be shooting its fourth season in ITALY! According to an official hot-off-the-press release from our employer, the entire cast and crew of MTV's wildly popular hit show will be trading in their shot-filled road trips to Seaside Heights for a sure-to-be mini bottle-laden plane ride to their homeland.
While "Jersey Shore" is a popular program internationally, there are bound to be plenty of people oblivious to "The Situation" and his colorful cronies, as well as the circus of debauchery they bring with them to every locale. Who knows how the OGs of Italy will react to our self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes? Luckily, Vinny's got some relatives (wait, there's more of them?!) who'll be nearby to offer up heaps of comfort food and some guidance on the cultural ways of "the old country."
The show is slated to film in spring 2011 and air later on this year.
"While the stateside 'Jersey Shore' locales have become iconic for our audience, it’s really the constantly evolving dynamic among the cast that keeps them coming back each season, and Europe is a fresh spin on a show that continues to reach new heights for us," said Chris Linn, executive vice president of programming and head of production for MTV. "The cast is headed to the birthplace of the culture they love and live by. We can’t wait to see what erupts as a result."
Thank you, MTV, for supplying Remote Control with endless "Jersey Shore" scoops. And thank you, as always, to the cast for simply being you. Let's all raise a glass of RonRon Juice Chianti and say together now: Salute!
FYI: Grenade in Italian is "granata."

We had a sneaking suspicion that we'd be welcomed this morning by the latest and greatest of Heidi Montag's tunes (possibly even an oceanside video to complement). Late last night, the former "Hills" star tweeted that Perez Hilton agreed to demo her newest single, "Can You Feel My...?" on his website, but she wasn't the only one in the fam with music on the brain. Spencer Pratt just released a new rap song about chickens and--don't judge us--it's not entirely awful! According to TMZ, he recorded it last year and wasn't crazy about how it sounded. Why don't you have a listen and judge for yourself.
+ What do you think of Spencer's jam? Ready to download it, or should he stick to his day job (of, uh, inciting media frenzies)? Sound off in the comments!

Having seen the error of her ways, not to mention the exorbitant cost of keeping a lawyer on retainer, Jenelle sorta apologized to her mom on last week's episode of "Teen Mom 2." She admitted that living on her own was going to be way too difficult, plus she really wanted to be with her son, Jace--even if it meant sharing a roof with her combative mother.
Jenelle's back with her son again, but will being with Barbara again create an unhealthy environment for Jace? We want to hear what you think: Should Jenelle have moved back in with her mom, or should she have looked into other options? Take the poll and sound off!

"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 Seaside. Check out the latest featured clip below.
In between styling his hair to resemble Justin Bieber and screaming "Grenade Whistle" throughout the Seaside house, Pauly D's evidently been getting his beach volleyball on. We're not sure how such athletic prowess slipped past us, but the guy's claiming to be the all-star of his one-man undefeated volleyball team, aptly named--wait for it--Beemers and Blowouts.
Check out this "Jersey Shore Daily," where Pauly explains that he's much more than a DJ. Everyone's welcome to come watch the title-holding champ bump, set and spike his way toward another victory, but if you get sand in his hair, he'll eject you from the sidelines.

It's about damn time the "Jersey Shore" boys figured out a way to warn one another when a grenade is looming. Outside of running away from frightening hippos and such, we've never really seen the guys be proactive about how to avoid them. Until now. They've clearly put their heads together this season, because Vinny's come up with a way to alert his MVP teammates when danger is near.
Check out a sneak peek of Thursday night's all-new episode, where Mike brings a girl who's DTF into the bedroom for his pick-out-some-PJs ritual. Vinny sees the ugly potential for next-day regret and quickly grabs a defense weapon: the "grenade whistle." Well planned, Vin.

Snooki's apparently forgiven her reality TV star crony for skipping out on her birthday bash late last year (sources claimed that the "Jersey Shore" castie whined when Kim Kardashian was a no-show), because the two sat courtside during Saturday's New Jersey Nets game. Snooki came to the arena with her boyfriend Jionni LaValle but spent the majority of the time giggling with Kim and tweeting photos. Are they just bonding over boys or are they becoming besties?
+ Would you like to see Snooki and Kim become BFF? Sound off in the comments!
