Kendrick Lamar Has Got 'The Recipe' For 'POV' Perfection [Video]

Posted 5/4/12 4:33 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Hip Hop POV, Top TV Shows

"Hip Hop POV" has seen plenty of East Coast talent since it premiered a few weeks back, but this past Wednesday night, the stage came alive with the likes of some California swagger. Compton native Kendrick Lamar worked his hardest to please the crowd, and across a head-spinning set, everything came together like the perfect "Recipe."

With a signature rasp and flannel shirt wrapped around his waist (how very Shawn Hunter), Lamar seemed ready to set his "POV" performance apart from the rest, and at a rate of a million words-per-minute, he did exactly that. "What more can I say? Welcome to L.A.," he shouted out toward the end of his love letter to the West Coast. And based on fan reception, his hospitality was a hit.

+ Check out Lamar's full performance of "The Recipe" below, and keep tuning in for the latest and greatest from the hip hop world every Wednesday at midnight.

Pauly D To Serve As In-House DJ For 'ABDC' J. Lo Episode

Posted 5/4/12 3:33 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in America's Best Dance Crew, Jersey Shore, The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Welp, they said Season 7 of "America's Best Dance Crew" would be a "Return of the Superstars," and they certainly meant it. On Wednesday night, not only will the remaining crews battle it out to songs by Jennifer Lopez, but MTV's favorite hard-haired DJ, Pauly D, will serve as in-house entertainment for the evening. Clear those schedules, ladies and gents--doesn't get much better than this.

"#TakeoverContinues," Pauly D tweeted today with the message, "Yeahhh Buddy DJin For Americas Best Dance Crew!!!!" The guy will keep the crowd moving between performances that draw from J.Lo's decades-spanning catalog. Whether it's "Waiting for Tonight" or "On the Floor," the mega-star's tunes will surely set the crowd on fire, and we couldn't be happier that Pauly's on deck to feed the flames.

+ Make sure to catch the must-see ep, and tell us if you think Fanny Pak can bounce back from near-elimination.

MTV Twitter Roundup: Pauly And Vinny's Bromance Is A Work of Art

Posted 5/4/12 3:17 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Does this bromantic painting belong in the Sistine Chapel?

Michelangelo may have famously painted "The Creation of Adam," but Vegas man-about-town JROC evidently felt he could do better, or at least, find better. Just last night, the "Pauly D Project" nightlife king tweeted an interesting interpretation of the biblical piece of art. (God as Pauly D? Sure, we'll take it!) @DJPaulyD didn't respond--perhaps he was too busy giving Jerry a hard time about his date with Diana?--but we're pretty sure he'd be impressed by the craftsmanship.

One of Pauly's other buddies, Ryan, probably hasn't seen the avant-garde artwork yet either, as he was tied up with Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Ron shared a few photos of the guys flying down coasters and posing like real OGs--we're kinda bummed we didn't get an invite. All can be forgiven, however, if someone would just friggin' get us a photo of JWOWW's new tattoo already! (Stop teasing us, Jenni!).

'Real World' Spy Cam: Friendships Grow Stronger When Chugging Margaritas

Posted 5/4/12 2:28 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in Real World, Top TV Shows

"Real World: St. Thomas" is right in the midst of shooting, and little do the seven roommates know that Remote Control has been granted access--for the first time EVER--to two of the most private areas of the house: the confessional and webcam. Check the blog throughout the weeks leading up to the show's summer premiere for ongoing insider info and video snippets featuring the new season's cast!

What would a "Real World" house be without a s**t-ton of booze flowing freely inside every room? Even the most private area of the pad, The Confessional, has been host to many a drunken rambling, which is exactly what you'll find in our latest Spy Cam video below.

Robb and Brandon S. (whom we just learned now goes by "Swift"--not Knight--to avoid any confusion between him and Brandon K.) engage in a bit of serious male bonding (hence the shoe compliments) after a hard night of partying, but whoa, don't get the wrong idea: They like chicks, bro! "I know you're not gay," Swift assures Robb. The rest is so slurry and convoluted that we're tasking you with the decoding process.

Has Lauren Conrad Found A New Love Interest Outside Of Hollywood?

Posted 5/4/12 1:10 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in The Hills, Top TV Shows

Lauren Conrad at the 2012 Coachella Music Festival and William Tell at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

Since her big breakup with Kyle Howard, Lauren Conrad has dated a movie star, a professional dancer and even a teen wolf, but the former "Hills" leading lady might have met her newest romantic match outside the reaches of Hollywood.

LC is now dating University of Southern California law student William Tell, Us Weekly reports. The two Orange County exports allegedly met back in February, and have been seeing each other ever since. And yes, William used to run with the band, Something Corporate, but he currently seems sternly set on the path toward academia and hourly billing.

A bookworm sure does sound like a refreshing change of pace for the former surfer boy-worshiper. Plus, should she get a sudden itch for some rock-star action down the road, we bet the guy still kicks ass at the guitar.

+ Think Will's a good fit for Ms. Conrad? Tell us in the comments!

Snooki Weighs In On Toasted Tanning Mom Patricia Krentcil

Posted 5/4/12 12:42 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Pot calling the kettle too dark? Nah, Snooki never quite made it to this level. (Then again, she did once overcook herself so badly that she sought relief for her burned bum inside a dorm room-sized fridge...) Nevertheless, the tanning aficionado didn't take too well to hearing about Patricia Krentcil, a NJ woman accused of allowing her 5-year-old daughter to hit the tanning bed.

On Wednesday, the horrified mom-to-be shared her unedited opinion about Krentcil with "Extra" host Mario Lopez. "That b***h is crazy," Snooks stated firmly. Krentcil, whose face literally looks as if it's been painted with a roller brush dipped in--oh, we don't know--globs of horse manure, has been under public scrutiny ever since her little girl showed up to school with reddened skin. Your guess is as good as ours whether any of it is legit, but at least we don't have to question where Snooki stands on the matter: "Everyone knows you are NOT supposed to take kids there." (Phew.)

Rob Dyrdek Rates The Most 'Ridiculous' Stripper-Pole Fiascos [Sneak Peek]

Posted 5/4/12 10:50 am EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Ridiculousness, Top TV Shows

A bad audience can kill a stand-up comedian's set, and starting a song in the wrong key might effectively bring an aspiring singer's career to a standstill, but when it comes to the great performance crash-and-burn, there's no failure more painfully humiliating than a would-be stripper getting knocked down by his or her own pole. And thankfully, "Ridiculousness" has got a few such cases to share.

After getting a glimpse at boxing legend Floyd Mayweather's duffel bag full of cash (!!!), Rob dissects the greatest-ever stripper-pole mishaps in this sneak peek of Monday's all-new episode. From a snafu that nearly leaves one woman's pet six-feet-under to another who takes a few too many liberties with grandma's bed (see if you get that $20 check this Christmas...), each up-and-down disaster is equally entertaining in its own right. Except, of course, when it comes to one kid who falls off a platform before he even wraps himself around the cylinder. That one's kind of just sad...

Check out the video below, and make sure to catch all the gentlemen's club rejects on Monday at 10/9c.

Talk Strays To Sex Parts When The 'Project' Boys Play Word Association [Video]

Posted 5/3/12 11:00 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

What do tits, mayonnaise and a four-inch c**k share in common? They're all items blurted out by the "Pauly D Project" crew during what begins as an innocent game of Word Association and ends with a haunting, pornographic image of Snooki's baby-to-be permanently etched in your occipital lobe. Consider us your warning label for this latest dose of "The VIP Lounge," where Vinny Guadagnino puts his pals' linguistic chops to the test by listing off a smattering of people, places and things, and asking them to share their first thoughts. Per the usual with these guys, they take every opportunity to dip their minds in the gutter.

Check out the video to hear what heaven, hell and lots more truly mean to each member of the posse.

Pauly D On Meeting Cancer Patient Dereck: 'He Was Just Like Me' [Video]

Posted 5/3/12 10:55 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Not only is Pauly D charismatic and skilled behind the 1s and 2s, but dude's humble and understands that if it weren't for his supporters, he wouldn't be nearly as successful as he is today. During tonight's episode of "The Pauly D Project," the DJ had an opportunity to make a meaningful connection with one of his loyal fans. When his publicist, Amanda Ruisi, told him about a 15-year-old leukemia patient named Dereck, Pauly was more than on board to surprise-visit his home and spend some QT with him. After all, it's people like Dereck that have enabled Pauly to experience such fame and fortune.

The meet-and-greet was pretty special for both of them, and as a special thank you for his support, Pauly presented Dereck with scads of swag, from a variety of coveted T-Shirts to headphones from an exclusive line. In this clip from our latest "VIP Lounge," the mix-master opens up about the experience, noting how much Dereck reminded him of his younger self. "He was just like me," he shares with his bros. We can't get enough of seeing PD's sensitive side!

Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato Or New Boyz: Who Got 'Punkd' The Hardest?

Posted 5/3/12 10:30 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Punk'd, Top TV Shows

In 2007, Ashley Tisdale served some hard time on "Punk'd" as The Girl Who Could Wake People From Comas, but at no point did the series' production team say that made her exempt from any future humiliation. So, when Nick Cannon was passed the guest-host baton this week, he figured he'd shoot for a repeat performance.

Ash and her friend, Phil, were headed to the bowling lanes when a guy jumped off the sidewalk to wash their windshield for some extra cash. The entrepreneur seemed insistent on getting the glass all squeaky clean, but ultimately disappeared behind the car when the pair waved him off. The friends finally re-hit the open road, but a few blocks back into their trip, Ash realized Phil had been dragging ~~something~~ someone under his car. Can you guess who it was? After crumbling under guilt and making several declarations that she was two steps away from puking, The Tis proved she was a good sport when Nick revealed himself, and she admitted she'd been double-duped.
