It seems the glamorous life has served the resident jokers of "ABDC" well. Stepboys are set to take on the sounds of hip-hop star Drake in the next stage of the competition, and while the smiles plastered on the faces of each are sure signs they're having a good time, as usual, the guys nail their intricate moves all the while. Yup, even that full-grown teddy bear is on FIYAHHH!

The eight-piece crew proves class clowns can still be strong contenders in the below sneak peek of tonight's episode. While "Best I Ever Had" blasts in the background, the bow-tied bunch strike some Michael Jackson splits and rally around a life-sized stuffed animal. The best ours could do was say "I wuv you" over dying-battery static, so, naturally, we're pretty impressed this one's doing backflips.

"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!

The "Real World" house is notorious for its raucous play, emotional outbursts and general debauchery, so you might be surprised to find in our regular Spy Cam clips that the cast members do indeed have some downtime from the madness, and often they truly have NO clue what to do with it. Take the video below, where Latoya, Trey, Brandon S. and Laura transform themselves into a human kaleidoscope via the communal web cam. All that's missing is a Phish song humming in the background.

Acrylic interpretations by MTV's "Challenge" artist.

The ancient Greek statue, Venus de Milo, is famously known for her missing arms, but contemporary artist, Cara Maria, sees the goddess as more of a centaur with overdeveloped shoulders. At least that's what we've gathered from one of the "Challenge" vixen's hand-painted originals.

The tough girl with tons of clanking trinkets in her hair has already proven her artistic prowess with her novelty skull bead creations--which, it needs to be noted, she makes by hand--and now she's expanded her offerings to include avant-garde wall hangings. With eight canvases remaining in her Etsy shop, you can pick from a selection that includes a decapitated nude zombie and the aforementioned Venus de Bull. Cara is currently running a sale so she can make room for her newest visions and, welp, we might just have to buy one for our own office space, which could truthfully use a touch of culture.

+ Be sure to tell us what you think of Cara Maria's talents!

University of Illinois at Chicago students might be largely made up of commuters, but the school's home to many a skeleton in many a closet, as we learned on tonight's "Savage U." From a third-year who thought long-distance travel would be a relationship deal-breaker to another who was convinced a certain transformation might render her undateable, students who had misgivings about coming clean mainly got the following advice from Dan during his hometown visit: Be brave. Effective and to the point, but we were thinking you guys might have some insight to offer, as well.

Dan's cross-country college tour brought him to his home city of Chicago during tonight's episode of "Savage U," where an active group of undergrads looked to him for help on improving their time in the bedroom. Genevieve wanted suggestions on dealing with her inability to reach climax, and Alexis needed a pep talk so she could find someone accepting of her transgender identity. The columnist doled out useful advice during his one-on-ones, as well as on stage, where he was so connected to the students that he correctly guessed who authored one of the questions by simply scanning the audience.

Among the many relatable topics addressed during the episode was online dating, and in the bonus scene below, our charming sex guru says that the most important thing in determining if a person's found a good match is whether or not they enjoy the taste of their partner's saliva. "It's not a relationship until you're in the same room and inhale their spit and other secretions," he states. So what exactly should the stuff taste like? Mmm, you'll have to watch to find out.

Expecting teen Myranda grew up without a reliable mother figure, so when she and her boyfriend, Eric, learned they were having a baby on tonight's episode of "16 and Pregnant," she made it her personal mission to become a strong, supportive parent. Myranda's mother, Billie, battled with an addiction for many years and missed out on much of Myranda's life, but when she heard about the pregnancy, she wanted to be included. The young couple reluctantly let her back in, but Billie dropped the ball once again when she didn't show up for Myranda's ultrasound appointment.

After Kaylee was born, Myranda finally agreed to allow her mom to babysit so that she and Eric could have a nice night out. But when Billie didn't answer a phone call, the couple rushed back home. Luckily, everything turned out to be okay with Kaylee, though Myranda told Billie that, even though she was staying sober, it would be a while before she'd spend time alone with her daughter again.

+ Billie was sticking to her rehab program and really wanted to get closer with her granddaughter. Do you think Myranda should have been more forgiving, or did she do the right thing by acting cautious? Take the poll and weigh in!

No matter which way you slice it, unplanned pregnancy robs teens of all kinds of opportunities, whether it be a college education or just the chance to hang out with friends. During the most recent episode of "16 and Pregnant," Myranda and her boyfriend Eric had to become financially independent as soon as they decided to keep their child, which meant that Eric needed to get on with his daily grind and Myranda needed to figure out how to get by on very little. Fortunately, though, there were people in their lives that helped out as much as they could so that the parents-to-be could still enjoy some social time.

Myranda and Eric share in some fun as they prep for prom in the bonus scene below. It's been a while since she's tried on her floor-length dress, and she's having a bit of trouble getting the zipper to close over her baby bump. Luckily, Grandma is there to wiggle everything into place before the couple's photo op. Even though we know this was a stressful point in their lives, it's sweet to see Myranda and Eric able to participate in such a memorable school event.

Myranda and Eric were not using any kind of birth control when they discovered they were expecting on tonight's episode of "16 and Pregnant." She was previously on the pill but went off of it for a month, and since they'd had unprotected sex in the past without getting pregnant, she assumed they could continue to do so. Unfortunately, she learned the hard way that her way of thinking was wrong.

Myranda, along with about one-third of all teens who have had unplanned pregnancies, assumed she couldn't and wouldn't get pregnant simply because she hadn't gotten pregnant yet. So, true or false: If you haven't gotten pregnant after having unprotected sex, you're probably infertile. Answer: FALSE.

As if discussion surrounding the physics of buttholes wasn't proof enough that there is no topic Dan Savage won't touch, the "Savage U" sexpert continues to drive home the point that he's ready to answer your most burning bedroom-centric questions. Or, in this case, bathroom-centric...

The famously foul-mouthed radio and Podcast host addresses the fundamentals of location-specific hot zones in the below web-exclusive Q&A segment. Facebook fan Alexander H. is sure getting an erection each time he enters a bathroom means he's a freak, but Dan reassures him: different strokes for different folks. And in broader strokes (so many strokes!), a forlorn Facebook user asks Dan how exactly to extract herself from the land of broken hearts, where she's been an unwilling resident for nearly six months. Blunt Dan has no tricks up his sleeve with this one--he relays that, unfortunately, mourning a failed relationship is just a part of life. We, on the other hand, recommend smashing things. Do you have more dinner plates than you need?

+ Check out Dan's musings, tune into tonight's all-new episode at 11/10c and keep coming back to Remote Control for more sex Q&As!
