We've come a long way since that "Awkward" boob flash at the beginning of the school year, and we've certainly learned a lot. Like the fact that small parties are not suitable for looking inconspicuous. Oh, and that experimental lesbian kisses as part of a drunk-driving cautionary skit are a surefire way to eliminate lingering rumors that you tried to kill yourself after summer camp.

But, but...but...

If you saw all but the last five minutes of tonight's "Awkward" finale, look elsewhere. If you did watch, WHAT THE WHAT WAS THAT?! After it appeared like things were finally going Jenna Hamilton's way, and she got a reassuring handhold from her winter formal date, Jake, she stumbled upon a piece of information that stopped her in her tracks. The stationery pattern of the infamous "Carefrontation" letter matched that of the stack of paper her mother left inside the kitchen junk drawer. Suddenly, having to decide between two popular guys at a dance seemed like a pretty awesome problem. (Oh, yeah, that's because it is.)

Three seasons of watching "Teen Mom" have taught us plenty about the reality of premature parenting, namely that the job doesn't come with built-in vacation time. It's a 24/7 gig, leaving barely a moment for rest and relaxation, not to mention self-reflection. And that's what Farrah misses most about her pre-baby life: doing nothing. "Just walking and sitting and staring, and not having anything to worry about...it feels so good to think about that," she says in the video below. "Life is not like that, and will never be like that probably for me ever again."

We caught up with Sophia's proud mama and grandma Debra backstage at the "Teen Mom Finale Special" to chat about how life has changed since Farrah's carefree days of adolescence, as well as what she has planned for her new future in Florida. While she yearns for a time when she's not constantly in motion, she's still very determined to have a successful career. Her latest ambition? Creating a "dating cooking show." Watch out, Rachel Ray, Farrah's prepared to wear lingerie.

They're not technically married, and we're not saying they should be, but contract or no contract, Amber and Gary are bound together for life. No matter how many times they break up (and make up), they're connected till the very end because they share a daughter. And because they somehow still love each other after five years of dating and parenting drama.

In these clips from our interview with the couple backstage at the "Teen Mom Finale Special," Amber admits that she wouldn't be with Gary if not for Baby Leah; however, she's incredibly grateful to always have him there to count on. When she was put in jail, it was Gary--not her boyfriend--who showed up to the courthouse to offer her comfort, and his support will remain crucial throughout her future legal proceedings.

+ Check out the video to hear more from Amber and Gary on their unorthodox relationship, plus tell us in the comments how you think the couple has grown since their days on "16 and Pregnant."

The young perps of "Cuff'd" can now take a small amount of solace in their backseat, tear-stained drive to the police station, for when they watch their arrest play out on MTV, the otherwise-shameful moment will be paired with some pretty solid tunage. In fact, thanks to The DNC and its multilingual frontman, Chobo, being forcefully escorted downtown has never sounded so good.

The Norwegian duo never had a doubt about its recipe for club hit success--since meeting six years ago, Chobo and producer J Ryggs have nearly perfected a meshing of hip-hop and electro-pop, which amounted to an eponymous album that first tore up dance floors in 2008. Now, on the heels of their sophomore album, "Unstoppable," their single "Upside Down" is the perfect accompaniment to televised unlawful behavior everywhere! Below, check out an exclusive interview, where the group explains how they wound up recording the theme song to "Cuff'd," and also catch their music video for "Electric."

+ The deluxe version of "Unstoppable," which includes "Upside Down," new track "BOUNCE" and four remixes to "Electric" is now available on iTunes.

Remote Control was recently alerted to a sad but striking bit of information: Arch West, the guy behind Doritos, has died, but in his afterlife, has unarguably staked his claim as the most passionate entrepreneur in modern industry. The guy was so gung ho about his product that he's headed into absentia shrouded in a cloud of the delicious triangles. That's right, before he's laid to rest this weekend, Arch's kids are going to cover his casket with Doritos. Cooler Ranch? Nacho Cheesier? The spicier kind in the purple bag? Who knows for sure, but hopefully they'll be throwing in some Handi-Wipes as well (orange fingertips being the only downside to America's beloved salty snack).

In good ol' Archie's honor, we decided to put an MTV spin on his exemplary commitment to his product. And no better way to bid dude adieu than put together what we believe the "Jersey Shore" cast should carry into their graves. Here are a few things we think the gang from Seaside Heights will want by their cold, dead sides as they make their way into the beyond:

"Jersey Shore" airs Thursdays at 10/9c, but you don't have to wait till 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 Florence. Check out the latest featured clip below.

Remember those "Jersey Shore" housewives? Well, all that dish-washing got them thirsty, and they're in the mood for a cleaaassy afternoon drink.

Mrs. Cortese and Mrs. WOWW are knee-deep in chores when they decide to abandon their posts as homemakers and head into town for a good ol' fashioned afternoon highball in this Daily clip. Suspicions of their husbands' infidelity with the au pair is mounting, but mulling around the house simply won't do. With a quick glance at a map and two menacing grins, the girls are up and out the door, and ready to paint the town red.

Check out the clip below, in which Mrs. WOWW insists that there's no reason for the pair to put all their cocktail eggs in one basket--they can try all of the nearby bars and cafes!

Thanks to a lot of liquor, a misplaced koo-kah and some vicious cobblestone streets, things got real serious last week on "Jersey Shore." But out of all the drama that went down, Jionni peaced out of the house before we could ever see a brawl materialize between him and Mike. A pity, considering Sitch spent the entire hour prepping for it.

Even though Jionni never got the chance to meet The Situation's karate kicks face to foot, we still wonder which guy would've dominated a fight. Mike seemed pretty certain that his "Kung Fu Panda" skills would go the distance, but then again, Jionni's muscles look like they've been working overtime at the gym. Plus, after watching him angrily stomp through the streets of Florence, we know that Snooki's maybe-ex has some impressive endurance.

+ Who do you think would've reigned supreme in this Shore Showdown? Mike with his master moves, or Jionni with his bulging biceps? Take the poll and sound off!

Her face said it all. After Officer Carla Rinaldi's usual partner John John was benched for accidentally killing a human being (a tragedy that came with shockingly few consequences), and Rinaldi was instructed to work with rookie Kirsten Landry on an upcoming "Death Valley" assignment, her eyes narrowed, and her usual scowl widened. Kirsten, true to form, was as chipper as ever, and Officer Rinaldi's loathing of the blonde intensified.

Things went from bad to worse in the patrol car, when Carla snapped at Kirsten for assuming the Undead Task Force veteran was older than she actually was. And by the time Carla reprimanded Kirsten for taking on a zombie in hand-to-hand combat behind a locked door, it looked like a friendship for the UTF's only two females was out of reach.

Kirsten wasn't done trying, though, and continued the quest for Carla's friendship when the whole group headed to the bar after work for a few beers. When she got shot down for the third time, Kirsten gave up for the time being, and took the rejection on the chin.

+ Kirsten made a mistake or two on the job, but it's clear Carla's distaste for the girl stems from something more deep-seated, and we're wondering what that is. Any insight? Take our poll, or let us know if you think something entirely different is to blame for Kirsten and Carla's oil-and-water relationship.
