Considering Mac Miller's millions of YouTube views, Twitter followers and--oh, yeah--that Billboard #1 he's repeatedly seen in the last few years, it's hard to believe the rapper is not yet even 21 years old. And it's even harder to believe that he cultivated such a solid following without a deal from a major record label. But if you, like the "Hip Hop POV" panel, wonder if he'd ever change his representation, you might be surprised by his answer.

"When I get something done...it's not because someone is behind the scenes...it's because I feel like I worked for this," the former "Easy Mac" says in reference to his independent status in the below sneak peek of Wednesday's all-new episode. "I need that to stay sane." Something tells us he must have a Red Bull fountain tucked safely in his studio, too.

+ Check out the video of the barely identifiable (been dodging the paps, Mac?) up-and-comer describing his conviction to his craft , and make sure to tune in Wednesday at midnight to see the full interview.

DJ Pauly D on the "ABDC" set with "Vampire Diaries" star and recording artist Kat Graham.

Yeahhhh, buddy! Tomorrow night at 10/9c, DJ Pauly D will take hold of the "America's Best Dance Crew" arena while the remaining crews get down to the sounds of Jennifer Lopez. And if you had any doubts, the "Project" frontman is very ready to get that party started. "ABDC, I love it! We're gonna have a good time tonight!" he assures a hyped crowd in the below promo of the episode.

While PD keeps the show's insatiable fans suitably occupied between performances, 8 Flavahz, Mos Wanted Crew and the four other remaining teams will get notes from Beau "Casper" Smart, the guest choreographer of the episode (and one of J. Lo's own backup dancers). Judging by a sneak peek at Elektrolytes' staged fight-filled number to "Get Right," he's helped them all up the ante.

+ Check out the two video clips, and make sure to tune in Wednesday night at 10/9c to see if the Season 7 contenders can do Miss Lopez proud.

Just what would you do for $1,000 cash? For the folks on last night's episode of "Money From Strangers," it was more like what wouldn't you do? Jeff Dye and his crew of clever comedians had us hiccup-laughing for 30 minutes straight... Awkward! But not nearly as awkward as what two New Yorkers had to endure, thanks to their desperation to earn some quick moolah:

Pizza sucks! We've watched enough episodes of "Jersey Shore" to know it's not wise to come between an Italian and their food. So big ups to Kyla who didn't back down at a deli when asked to toss a bag of pasta football-style and swing a few pork links around like a cowgirl learning to lasso. She passed both pranks with flying sausages, but we thought surely she'd drop out of the money game when Jeff suggested she break 10 bags of spaghetti over her knee. Nope. Kyla busted those noodles and flew out the door with one final message for the Meat Men. "PIZZA SUCKS!"

Attention, "Jersey Shore" fans and readers of Remote Control! Seaside Heights' most renowned on-again/off-again couple has done the unthinkable totally predictable and resumed their relationship. For better or worse.

Over the weekend, Sammi made an appearance at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City, where she revealed the news to RealityTVMagazine.com. "Right now we're together and I'm happier than ever, so things are going really good!" she said.

Having spent many late nights documenting the various plot points in SamRon's rocky relationship cycle, "happier than ever" actually translates to "the calm before the storm." Soon after, everything tanks and Ron starts throwing Sam's s**t on the porch. (Hallelujah, we're back in business!)

We haven't had the liberty of using the nickname SamRon for quite some time--the two spent all of Season 5 uncharacteristically calm and googly-eyed but broke up soon after filming. It's pretty much been crickets ever since, and we hate crickets, so we should thank whatever powerful New Jersey life force for answering our prayers...Season 6 is going to be BONKERS!!!

Sharon Osbourne, her son Jack and his fiancee Lisa Stelly hold little baby Pearl.

With the buzz encompassing MTV moms-to-be Snooki and Kristin Cavallari and their ever-expanding baby-bumps (real, synthetic or otherwise...), we must shamefully admit we've neglected our network's up-and-coming patriarchs (blame the unchanging midsection). Still, we were thrilled all the same when Hello! recently reported that Jack Osbourne, the youngest part of MTV's O.G. reality TV family, just became a father.

"People say when you have a kid it’s like instant love, but unless you've experienced it, it's impossible to comprehend," Jack told the magazine after his fiancee Lisa Stelly gave birth to Pearl Clementine in Los Angeles. According to People, Jack was determined to call his daughter Moxie (refreshing!), but--taking a note from future mother-in-law, Sharon--Stelly didn't hesitate to speak her mind and shoot down the name fit for a "Bratz doll." Sounds like it's only a matter of time before she's leisurely tossing ham loins at neighbors...

+ Check out the photo of the newest itty-bitty Osbourne, and tell us if you can believe the former angsty teenager is a dad!

MTV’s newest resident sex and relationship guru Dan Savage is trekking across the country to enlighten America's coeds and help them better understand the sexual culture that exists today. But what happens once Dan offers his pearls of wisdom to the eager undergrad? We usually don't get to see the students put his advice into practice, but luckily our own MTV family members can show us all how it's done. This week's advice in action: Be upfront and honest.

So far on their cross-country campus tour, professors Dan and Lauren have addressed issues as persistent as the dating double standard, tackled problems as personal as sexual abuse and debunked myths as strange as the free-falling b***hole. Their "Savage U" lessons may be diverse, but they require only one thing of their pupils: honesty.

The theme of honesty was central in last week's episode of "Savage U," which found our esteemed educators back in Dan's own hometown at the University Of Illinois at Chicago. After some quick interviews on campus, it became clear that U of I at C was known for three things: commuter students, diversity and skeletons in the closet. Along the way Dan met Alexis, a transgender woman looking for advice on how to nab a date.

You may have recognized a familiar face stuffed in the back of the "Money From Strangers" comedy van during tonight's episode--it was funnyman Jordan Carlos of "I Just Want My Pants Back." He was on hand to serve as a celebrity accomplice and help host Jeff Dye conjure up absurd dares for unsuspecting contestants in search of cash money. Unfortunately, Jordan's time lobbing tasks at taco-joint challenger Aiden was short-lived, as the restaurant called the cops following the guy's unhygienic soda fountain activities. But Jeff's work was far from being finished.

In the below bonus clip, Jeff heads out to the street and finds four fearless girls willing to jiggle wet noodles through their nasal cavities for 40 bucks. The first gal to successfully string the limp pasta up one nostril and out her throat gets two crispy Andrew Jacksons! (If you're looking to start a low-carb diet, watching this video will be of great assistance.)

Just two days ago, Floyd "Money" Mayweather took down Miguel Cotto for the WBA super world Cinco de Mayo title (that's what it's called, right?), and tonight, the champ and his beaming fiancé, Miss Jackson (who was rocking a HUUUGE diamond on her ring finger), joined veteran judges Chanel and Steelo for some regularly scheduled "Ridiculousness." Host Rob Dyrdek kicked things off by flipping through old footage of the impressive fighter in action, then transitioned over to a slew of his favorite viral mishaps and injuries from the interwebs (and somewhere in between all that, "Money" brought out a duffel bag of what looked like a bazillion dollars).

When the cat's away, the mouse will play? Not the case for Biggie, who's bent on remaining faithful to his girlfriend at all costs while in Las Vegas. And though we'd imagine most women would be thrilled to have a guy that owns such a golden moral compass, the "Project" crew thinks Pauly's manager is in need of immediate ball-reattachment surgery.

Biggie says he's staying in if a night out includes a strip club visit in this sneak peek of Thursday's all-new episode. And when he calls JROC to figure out the plan decisively, Ryan accuses him of pu*** behavior and even calls Mary Jane to demand she airmail his boy's testicles straight to The Strip. Biggie's pissed that he'd go so far, saying "It's about to get ugly in this motherf***er." Ryan better protect that pretty face of his!

Check out what's to come from the next episode.

Dan Savage has made a career out of always-honest dialogue, and when the "Savage U" sexpert thought Danger of "Caged" seemed a little...into himself...after submitting a slightly self-important question, he decided to tell him so. Maybe the pair should settle this one in the octagon...

"I was just wondering--how exactly do I keep girls from falling in love with me?" Danger asked on-camera before flashing a knowing set of pearly whites. Unfortunately, Dan wasn't one to fall for the charm, and decided to call things exactly how he saw them for the young fighter. Brace yourselves:
