5 'Jersey Shore' Potty Fouls

Posted 2/14/12 12:32 pm EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

It's safe to assume that a significant portion of the world knows about Snooki's UTI--even her dad got an earful of the dirty details. While she raised awareness about her bladder issues, bathroom accidents are hardly just a Meatball Problem--they affect the entire "Jersey Shore" house. To prove our point, we rounded up five memorable potty fouls.

1. JWOWW Pops A Squat: Remember when JWOWW peed behind Karma's deserted upstairs bar because the line for the ladies' room was too long? We sure do! She hosed the evidence down with fountain soda while Snooki--and millions of viewers--looked on in amusement.

2. Sitch Gets Stuck: Instead of having an issue getting into a bathroom, Mike had trouble getting out. Thanks to a faulty water closet door at the gang's Italian villa, he was forced to hang by the toilet way longer than duty called for.

'Challenge' Poll: Should Leroy Hook Up And Risk His Life?

Posted 2/8/12 3:01 pm EST by in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

Leroy has already proven himself as a "Challenge" big man--he took out Wes twice in The Dome and continues to evade death, which is something his controlling teammate Naomi keeps threatening him with. She's made it clear--both during MTV.com pre-season interviews and throughout each episode--that if Leroy gets busy with anyone but her, she'll come after everyone. It's unfortunate, cuz it's fairly obvs that the dude has some stress he would love to relieve, and what better way...

We caught Leroy grinding up on Aneesa last week, and even though nothing happened between them, peeping Tom Naomi was not happy with what she saw. Do you think our man should allow Naomi to stop him from getting some loving, or should he just hook up with a newbie and take the chance? Take the poll and sound off in the comments!

Should Leroy hook up with someone else?

  • Yes
        68%
  • No

'Caged' Poll: Will Red And Wes Kiss And Make Up?

Posted 2/6/12 5:05 pm EST by in Caged, Top TV Shows

People say that breaking up is hard to do, but at this point, it has to be getting a little easier for Red and Wes. Unable to deal with the ostensible what-ifs from their last breakup, the on-again/off-again "Caged" couple are officially off...for now.

Granted, the split looked pretty official this time--Wes bagged up all of Red's stuff, and the two spent the Fourth of July with separate groups of friends, but both sides of this twosome have admitted that their relationship is sort of like a cage fight: We may think one player is down for the count, but there's always a chance someone will get a second wind, rise and swing even harder than ever.

+ Do you think this couple is KO'd for good, or are we going to see a comeback from Minden's longtime sweethearts? Let us know what your gut is telling you!

Will Red and Wes get back together?

  • Of course!
        72%
  • Nope, they are done for good this time.
        28%

A Brand-New Tattoo For Every 'Shore'-goer

Posted 2/2/12 4:13 pm EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

"Operation Get Vinny Back" was a success! Our favorite pale guido returned to "Jersey Shore" on Episode 4, and he brought with him a permanent marker of the time he peaced out of Seaside. In addition to taking a week at home to rest up and clear his head, Vin also got some new ink. "Let Go, Let God" now graces our sensitive guy's chest--a prime piece of real estate, we might add.

His housemates were pretty interested in getting a look at the tat, and did we perhaps even sense some jealousy? Body art is pretty contagious, after all. On the chance that the rest of the crew is now itching to etch something FTD on their skin, we put our heads together and came up with a few suggestions. Check 'em out below, plus head to MTV Clutch for oodles more tattoo coverage.

Deena: The knuckles are a fantastic place to put your life philosophy on display. Some choose the words "Thug Life" or "Love/Hate"; Deena's should obviously read "Merp Merp."

Pauly: He just got his man back, so we suggest showing him how much he cares by getting a tat of Vinny's face on his back, Steve-O-style. This way he's always there when a wingman is needed.

5 Birthday Gifts For 'The Situation' (That Don't Require A Stripper)

Posted 2/2/12 10:00 am EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

After Sitch rode solo to Pauly's B-Day dinner two weeks ago, we were worried that Mike's special day was going to be one ugly grundle chode of disappointment. Thankfully, that wasn't the case, and even though he went MIA for few hours to wallow in the birthday blues, his "Jersey Shore" roommates delivered when they surprised him with a Wizard of Ass-approved bash.

Still, looking back on everything, we think there are a few gifts that could've made Mike's birthday even better (not that taking home a stripper isn't a cool present and all). Here are some items that might have lit up the aging guido's face.

Indestructible Dumbbells: For a dude that is always working on his fitness, it's important to have the right tools on hand. Sometimes he can't get to the gym (like when the gang's getting wasted at Jenks), so having a set of weights in his bedroom means he can start GTLing before he even brushes his teeth. (That "indestructible" part is just in case Ronnie throws his s*** out onto the patio.)

Bronzer Wipes: The last thing any Shore girl wants is a pale juicehead. Pasty skin is not the business, and these wipes will ensure that if Sitch ever ventures back to Italy (you know, the country without adequate tanning beds), he'll be prepared.

'Caged' Poll: Does Daniel's Memory Of Hannah Hurt Or Help?

Posted 1/30/12 7:06 pm EST by in Caged, Top TV Shows

Just because you're Minden's golden boy doesn't mean everything in life comes easy. For proof, look at Daniel, who continues to struggle with the untimely loss of his former girlfriend, Hannah.

Ever since Hannah passed, honoring her memory has been a priority to the "Caged" winner of the week. In the most recent episode, Daniel even put in a call to the promoter asking for a moment of silence during his fight, as it fell on the same night as the anniversary of her death. He's gained strength from opening up about his loss and we've seen how it shapes his relationship with Brittini, but it's also possible that his unresolved feelings for Hannah could actually hinder his success. Is he too stuck in the past?

+ After getting to know Daniel over the past few episodes, do you think his residual feelings for Hannah are helping him or holding him back? Let us know how you feel by voting in the poll.

Does Daniel's memory of Hannah hurt or help him?

  • Hurt.
        47%
  • Help,
        53%

'Jersey Shore' Burning Question: Where's Roger?

Posted 1/24/12 10:00 am EST by in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

We've seen plenty of Jionni so far on Season 5 of "Jersey Shore"--even if Snooki keeps trying to hide him from "The Unit"--but JWOWW's juicehead beau has been mysteriously absent from all the Seaside shenans. Roger made a quick appearance at the gang's surprise party during the premiere, though now, it seems he's gone MIA. We're holding out hope he'll walk through the beach house door sometime soon (we miss our giddy, lovestruck Jenni!), but until then, we'll just have to throw out some ideas as to where he could be...

Caught Up In GTL: The daily cycle can be pretty time-consuming, especially when you've got a beefy bod to maintain. Plus, the more you work out, the more laundry you're forced to do!

Dealing With His Real Job: JWOWW's man missed out on his chance to search the Florence streets--barefoot and drunk at 3 in the morning--for Jionni because he couldn't get time off from work. Maybe his job is still keeping him from hanging with the crew.

Could You Date A 'Caged' Fighter?

Posted 1/23/12 2:08 pm EST by in Caged, Top TV Shows

Ladies, we all have a type. Some of you like a guy with "Teen Wolf"-type scruff, while others have strict height requirements. Personally, we just like a dude who treats us nice; however, we wouldn't be mad if he happened to come with a lean-muscled body like those of MTV's "Caged" boys.

A fine physique is one of the perks of calling an MMA fighter your man, but dating a guy who throws punches for sport also means dealing with seeing him get hurt. Now that you've had a chance to witness the lives of rookie cage fighters up close, do you think you could date one? Are the lifestyles of these fierce fighters something you could handle on a daily basis or are you looking for a little less "danger"? Take the poll and sound off in the comments!

Could you date a fighter?

  • Absolutely, I prefer it!
        79%
  • No way, violence makes me cringe.
        21%

5 Simple Rules The 'Exes' Might Want To Follow

Posted 1/19/12 10:00 am EST by in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

Dealing with an ex can be a complicated and even downright nasty experience. The two of you know everything about each other, including how to push the (in)appropriate buttons, which can make salvaging any type of friendship a losing battle. Unfortch for the "Battle of the Exes" teammates, they no longer have the luxury of burning the bridge and walking away, because they've been paired up with their former lovahs.

They do, however, have a chance to split a tempting 150K if they learn how to cooperate. So if these kaput couples plan on surviving until the end, they're going to need to learn some self-control. To help, we came up with five simple rules to follow:

1. Keep The Past In The Past: You know the quickest way to piss your partner off? Bring up every annoying thing they did while you were dating. Let the other teams cause the drama, people, and steer clear of this subject.

2. Ditch Any Current BFs/GFs: Speaking of drams, the bed-hopping between this group always stirs up trouble back home. With all the unresolved feelings and urges brewing, it's best to save yourself the tearful, post-cheating phone call and just get the breakup done ahead of time. No phones in the house? Have one of the producers send an email so you can get on with the game. Brutal, but effective.

3. Only Have Eyes For Your Partner: If you're going to indulge in under-the-sheets action, try to keep it exclusive. Opening up new relationships is only going to welcome jealousy, catfights and probably a few broken mirrors (looking at you, Jasmine).

5 Sports Stars From Small Town Louisiana

Posted 1/18/12 10:00 am EST by in Caged, Top TV Shows

Chances are many of you haven't been to Minden, Louisiana. The small town has a population of just over 11,000, and as we've seen on "Caged," some of its younger residents don't plan on staying put. Wes and the rest of the boys throw punches in hopes of making it big and, ultimately, leaving Minden behind, so to support their big city dreams, we found five famous athletes who took the leap out of The Pelican State and landed on solid ground.

WILLIS REED
Hometown: Hico
Population: 800
Claim To Fame: A true hoopster, Reed played with the New York Knicks for his entire career (1964-1974). After retiring from the sport, he continued to stay on the court, coaching several teams and acting as general manager for the New Jersey Nets. In 1997 he was named one of the "50 Greatest NBA Players."

COREY WEBSTER
Hometown: Vacherie
Population: 6,000
Claim To Fame: Drafted by the NFL's New York Giants in 2005, Webster has moved up from special teams to cornerback, proving himself enough to sign a five-year $43.5 million contract with them in 2008. For him, moving away meant cashing in.
