There's never any shortage of celebrity news, or blogs that cover celebrity news, but the one thing Remote Control can offer that no other website can is an anchor who still lives at home with his mother (if she was our mother, we'd never move out, either). Tonight's "Vinny Skinny" features some exciting items -- especially for us MTV folk -- with a new gig for Pauly D on the Backstreet Boys tour, an ice cream challenge from Selena Gomez to all the single fellas and a possible reunion for girl group Danity Kane. (Take that, Diddy!)

Plus, Vin's got an adorable co-host time around: his dog, Tita!

Watch Vinny Guadagnino break down the stories that stood out most this week, check out pics of Tita at MTV Act and tune in for "The Show with Vinny" at 10/9c to hear the mama's boy chat with his latest guests, Ke$ha, Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Mackie!

Vinny Guadagnino's Uncle Nino Tries To Take A Twitter 'Sophie' [Video]

Posted 5/15/13 1:51 pm EST by in The Show with Vinny, Top TV Shows

The most beautiful "sophie" ever.

Trying to squeeze four hours spent shadowing the most eccentric human being caught on film since "Grey Gardens" into a few minutes was a tall task, but it had to be done for the many MTV fans suffering from Internet FOMO (guys, that toilet-trained cat on YouTube will still be there in the morning!). And while we still consider Uncle Nino's wild ride through Staten Island a masterpiece, many priceless moments were sacrificed by editing the video into an online short -- for instance, the one below, in which Nino enlists the help of a pre-teen to take a "sophie" (English translation: selfie) and tweet it to his followers. "Shoot! Shoot!" the self-proclaimed Original Guido yells at his iPhone as he grins like a tipsy Sicilian who just put down a full plate of baby octopus. Take a look:

There's never any shortage of celebrity news, or blogs that cover celebrity news, but the one thing Remote Control can offer that no other website can is an anchor who still lives at home with his mother (if she was our mother, we'd never move out, either). Tonight's "Vinny Skinny" has a dose of both happy and sad headlines, with Honey Boo Boo's parents exchanging vows in a redneck bash fit for Kid Rock (happy!), Lauryn Hill getting sentenced to time in the slammer (sadz!) and Chris Brown confirming his breakup with Rihanna (we'll let you pick the correlating emotion). Watch Vinny Guadagnino break down the stories that stood out most this week, and make sure to check out "The Show with Vinny" at 10/9c to hear him chat with his latest guests, Scott Disick of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and Victoria Justice!

In Honor Of Snooki's New Favorite Holiday, Here Are Her Top 10 Celeb MILFs [Video]

Posted 5/9/13 11:47 am EST by in Jersey Shore, Snooki & JWOWW, Top TV Shows

Hot mamas Melissa Gorga, Beyoncé and Halle Berry

Before Snooki gave birth to Lorenzo, her favorite holiday was most likely Cinco de Mayo, but now that she's refocused her life on being a caretaker (and a great one, at that), funneling Sangria with wannabe meatballs at a beachside bar can hardly top spending a quiet day at home with her family. And that's why the guidette's latest Celebaby Report is a special list honoring Mother's Day -- and all the hot mamas it celebrates!

In the video below, Nicole counts down her Top 10 Celeb MILFs, which range from models and movie stars to Real Housewives and Playboy Playmates. We don't want to spoil the ending, but you might be surprised to see the "Snooki & JWOWW" star's No. 1 pick. Last year, she was accused by tabloids of dissing this A-Lister for her pregnancy weight gain, but according to Nicole, the beef was created out of thin air. "I look up to her," she says of her favorite MILF in Hollywood. Check out the vid to see who it is!

Uncle Nino's Wild Ride: 'The Show With Vinny' Standout Presents His Staten Island [Video]

Posted 5/8/13 1:31 pm EST by in The Show with Vinny, Top TV Shows

 nino_car

If you've ever dreamed of riding shotgun in an overheated car while a first-generation Sicilian with an insatiable appetite for authentic Italian food (grilled baby octopus, specifically), wine (disguised as coffee) and women (married ones, in particular) gives a tour of his favorite Staten Island haunts, this video is for you. And everyone else. In it, Vinny Guadagnino's Uncle Nino -- one crazy motherf***ker (pardon, there's simply no other term that fits) -- eats, drinks and tans his face off after pointing out the scene of a past love affair and narrowly avoiding an accident with a bus. You may want to wear a helmet for this.

As Nino guides us through his daily routine -- referred to by him as Gym, Tanning, Octopus -- we are reminded that it's never too early to begin Happy Hour (if you don't work) and that everyone looks better in a velour tracksuit (especially if you rock a gangsta limp).

Below, check out what happens when you ask Staten Island's most notorious senior citizen to see the sights but you accidentally overstay your welcome.

If Zach Stone Tries These 6 Celebs' Methods Of Getting Famous, Maybe He'll Strike Gold

Posted 5/2/13 5:00 pm EST by in Top TV Shows

zs_19-zach-sng-glitter_2424_1

Nowadays, all it takes to get famous is a webcam and a little luck. A big ass helps. American culture is totally dominated by celebrity worship, and while we're perfectly content to have our names printed in small type above a 200-word blog post (we sometimes even use pseudonyms for rush jobs), Zach Stone desperately wants his name plastered on billboards, hummed around water coolers and referenced in Eminem lyrics -- even if he's being called out as a putz. Pride does not play a factor in the plight to become a tabloid fixture, and though we doubt you need proof of that fact, it was still fun to gather this list of people who became the talk of the town for no good reason at all. Check it:

speidi_140Name in Lights: Speidi
Claim to Fame: Reality TV villains
Yes, yes, we are 100 percent to blame for Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's rise to stardom as one of the most hated couples in the history of Hollywood. But really, shouldn't you be thanking us? Between their "Hills" plots to take down the innocent and their short-lived stint on "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here" (in which they refused to eat the same food as the rest of the cast), these two once provided us with a constant source of entertainment, and in this neck of the woods, they are greatly missed.

tila_140Name In Lights: Tila Tequila
Claim to Fame: Re-naming herself after alcohol and then giving both men and women a "Shot at Love"
This one you can't actually blame us for -- we simply capitalized on the little lady's rapidly growing My Space audience, and snatched her up for a few seasons of a dating competition catering to her bi-sexuality. That's just good business. Since the series ended, Tequila's cache has cleared...but we'll always have the pig vagina-eating contest.

Mama Guadagnino Strips Vinny Of His Machismo With Some Childhood 'Show'-And-Tell [Video]

Posted 5/1/13 11:42 am EST by in The Show with Vinny, Top TV Shows

vinny_baby

You can learn so much about a person by spending time with their mother, especially when their mother has kept -- and is eager to share -- every single report card, participation certificate, arts-and-crafts project, blue ribbon etc. etc. etc. accumulated by her child since his birth. "[He] was always creative and talented," Paola Guadagnino says of her son's early years during the illuminating show-and-tell video below. Vinny, naturally, is mortified.

Whether she's displaying his first sixth-place horseback riding awards (yes, he wore leggings), Kindergarten diploma (he graduated with a "Bachelor of Rhymes" degree) or Dior communion cufflinks, Vinny's ma beams with pride. Well, until she realizes that the t-shirt he designed for the American Cancer Society features babies smoking cigarettes. "It's terrible, actually," Paola remarks, then quickly shifts the subject to his high school honor roll status. There's nothing like a mother's love...

Noteworthy fact: Vinny rode horses English style, not Western. You'll hear, it's an important distinction.

Check out the video, and make sure to tune in for the series premiere of "The Show with Vinny" this Thursday at 10/9!

Vinny Guadagnino And His Incomparable Mother Take On The Proust Questionnaire [Video]

Posted 4/30/13 3:41 pm EST by in The Show with Vinny, Top TV Shows

 VINNY-AND-PAOLA-1

What is your biggest fear? What is the trait you most deplore in others? These are just two of the deep questions French author Marcel Proust's famous personality test touches upon. It's the ultimate get-to-know-ya game, and because we're still a little in the dark about Vinny Guadagnino's mom, who will co-star alongside her son on the new MTV series, "The Show with Vinny" (premieres Thursday night at 10/9c!), we tasked the two with quizzing each other.

The result was glorious.

Turns out Paola is the sweetest, most loving mother a kid (of any age) could ask for, but she's also funny as all hell. Sample quote from the video below: "Oh, I love Abraham Lincoln, he's my idol." We like Abe, too, but seriously, nothing compares to Paola. She may want to be reincarnated as the second coming of Picasso (it makes more sense in context...sort of), but we think she's perfect as is. Take a looksie for yourself:

'Girl Code' Star Gives Dramatic Reading Of One Sorority Chick's Unsisterly Tirade [Video]

Posted 4/19/13 11:33 am EST by in Girl Code, Top TV Shows

 jamie_lee_140

Before yesterday, many people (including us) had never once heard of a "c**t punt" ("the act of kicking a woman in her genital region," according to a fairly recent Urban Dictionary submission) and we're not quite sure if that's a blessing or a shame. Either way, as of today, the noun/verb combo has surpassed the popularity of various blogger jargon go-tos such as welp, amirite, YOLO and possibly even d**chebag (it's too soon to tell).

It was a Delta Gamma sorority chick's verbose, CAP-ridden email, which was featured in a Gawker article, that started it all, spreading like rapid fire across the internet as Americans eagerly devoured any type of distraction from a week that truly sucked. To quote just a snippet from the University of Maryland mean girl's rant: "I will fucking c**t punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don't give a f**k if you SOR me, I WILL F**KING ASSAULT YOU." You guys, Regina George is all growns up!
