Jordan Carlos Of MTV's 'Pants' Asks Dan Savage About Flying The Ole Freak Flag

Posted 4/30/12 1:05 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in I Just Want My Pants Back, Savage U, Top TV Shows

Right from the start of "I Just Want My Pants Back," Jordan Carlos' med student character, Eric, proved to be a pretty straight fella, ducking out of beer halls for library stacks and chickening out of a mini-orgy arranged by his swinging neighbors (we awarded him and his equally conservative girlfriend, Stacy, the silver medal in our Amateur Olympics for ever imagining they'd be into group nekkidiness). Apparently, though, Jordy doesn't share the same uptight tendencies as his on-screen alter ego; in fact, judging by his below question for MTV's resident sexpert, Dan Savage, dude's got a wild side. Or should we say freaky?

Check out Savage's answer to the run-on question, "When is it too late to fly your freak flag when you've started courting a lady? Or a man, because I don't wanna be that guy...but me, I'm courting ladies." Thou doth protest?

Snooki Defends Herself: 'I NEVER Dissed Jessica Simpson'

Posted 4/30/12 12:31 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Snooks flashes her 5-month figure at a tanning event in Chicago.

Here at Remote Control, we've been closely monitoring the growth of two very important baby bumps: those of L.A. girl-turned-Chicagoan Kristin Cavallari, and, of course, Snooki.

While the former Hillzie's belly popped long ago, our "Jersey Shore" mom-to-be's mini-meatball is taking its sweet time to marinate (her hair, on the other hand, doubled in length overnight), and in a recent interview with UsMagazine.com, Snooks boasted about her trim physique when asked about maternity wear, which she hasn't yet needed: "I'm so skinny that I can wear larges or extra larges." When the topic of Jessica Simpson, who's been criticized for her noticeable weight gain while preggers, came up, the guidette cracked a joke, saying, "I would die if I were her size."

Not surprisingly, gossip rags tried to start a war between the two stars, which caused Nicole to immediately put out the fire on Twitter. "I NEVER dissed Jessica Simpson you weirdo tabloids, get over it with your 'pregnant war' articles. I love the girl and her hot ass bump," she wrote to her followers. It's a good thing, cuz MILFs hovering around the 5-foot mark gotta stick together!

Demi Lovato Looks Like She's Seen A Ghost On 'Punk'd' [Sneak Peek]

Posted 4/30/12 11:12 am EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Punk'd, Top TV Shows

Demi Lovato at the 2012 People's Choice Awards.

Singer and actress Demi Lovato has very publicly battled and defeated her demons, but when she has to go toe-to-toe with a ghost on this coming Thursday's "Punk'd," it looks as if the prank might get the best of the young star (in her defense, a piano-playing poltergeist is some scary sh**!).

Former "Wild 'N Out" jokester and Mr. Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, takes on the role of guest host in the below sneak peek of the episode, and the guy is ready to scare the bejesus out of a pair of Disney exports. While Demi's busy battling an unwelcome specter in the recording studio, Ashley Tisdale's convinced her car's driver is dragging an unlucky pedestrian along for the ride. Were tempted to say this is a bad thing, but hey, public transportation is sparse in Hollywood--gotta get around any which way you can.

+ Check out the video, and tell us if you're more excited to see Demi or The Tis cry out in sheer terror.

That's What You Said...About Jordan And Tyler's Interracial Relationship

Posted 4/27/12 6:31 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows

While it's not uncommon to see parents up in arms over an unplanned pregnancy on "16 and Pregnant," the most recent episode told an even more complex story of disapproval than we're used to seeing. Expecting teen Jordan was in an interracial relationship with her boyfriend, Tyler, and Jordan's mom disliked it so much that she wouldn't allow him inside her home. Following the episode, we asked fans whether or not they thought Jordan's mom, Kelly, was to blame for Jordan and Tyler's eventual breakup. Here's a sample of what was posted on Remote Control and Facebook.

Remote Control:
"I was so excited at the beginning of this episode to see a young father be truly excited for the arrival of his child. Jordan and Tyler seemed like they were so happy and had such a strong connection. Their decisions made together were wise ones. They both said they were going to stand their ground when Kelly's fury started. Let me just say, Tyler's personality is obviously nonconfrontational. He's type B personality, very shy, yet extremely caring and a genuine, nice person. Kelly dislikes him because "he looks dirty and he's disrespectful." How can he disrespect you if you've never even given the boy a chance?" -- carlymichelle

"This entire episode got me so upset that I couldn't even watch it entirely. Especially the part where everyone kept bad-mouthing Tyler like he was some hideous guy. Love is love it shouldn't matter who someone loves. It's their choice. It also shows what kind of parent she is because her kids were ready to attack Tyler when he showed up." -- K'

"Jordan's mother is totally prejudiced and she was 100 percent wrong about pushing Tyler out of the picture. I am a grandmother of three biracial grandchildren, and my daughter was married to a white man ( my ex-son-in-law) whom I accepted as my daughter's husband." -- Elizabeth

Dan's Next Challenge: Help A Guy Living At Home Find Love [Sneak Peek]

Posted 4/27/12 5:47 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Savage U, Top TV Shows

If sex guru Dan Savage has learned anything while touring the country and speaking at colleges, it's that the student body dating scene runs the gamut. So far, he's come across an undergrad that just wanted a cut buddy but couldn't find a suitable partner, and a girl that repressed her own bisexual curiosities to keep a relationship going. Dan never casts judgment, and he pretty much has an answer for every person's dilemma. (If not, he'll say something really funny that makes them forget about their problem.)

In this sneak peek of Tuesday's all-new episode, the sexpert lands at the University of Illinois at Chicago where Michael, a junior that's seeking long-lasting romance, is waiting for him at a bar. Unlike most of his classmates, Michael still lives at home, and as if that weren't enough of a relationship hurdle, home is a 2-hour train ride from campus. Total courtship c**kblock. We're not sure what Dan's going to suggest, but it might have something to do with moving out!

Waka Flocka Flame Aims For A 'Round Of Applause' On 'Hip Hop POV' [Video]

Posted 4/27/12 5:04 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Hip Hop POV, Top TV Shows

Maybe Waka Flocka Flame was trying to curb nerves with a little company, or perhaps a love of women spilled over onto the stage, but the New York native and hip-hop star made sure to pull up just short of a dozen ladies during last night's "POV" performance, and if he didn't earn it from anyone else, he definitely got their "Round of Applause."

WFF strode across the stage that saw "Magic" made last week, and without an iota of hesitation, proceeded to pull a handful of lucky fans up on deck with him. He got down to the latest from his upcoming album, "Triple F Life," with "Applause," and segued into 2010 hit "Hard In The Paint" while the show's guests grooved to the music behind him. Things got a little crowded, but no one can accuse the guy of being selfish with the limelight.

Check out the performances in the video below, and make sure to keep tuning in to "Hip Hop POV" every Wednesday at midnight!

Brett Davern On His 'Awkward.' Character, Jake: 'I Can't Wait' Until He Knows About Matty

Posted 4/27/12 3:44 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Awkward, Top TV Shows

'Awkward' star Brett Davern strikes a pose for us in Times Square.

It's turned out to be quite an eventful day for Team Remote Control. First, we spotted the space shuttle flying over NYC (finally, a perk to working in a skyscraper), then we announced some exciting news for "Awkward" fans (you better have circled June 28 in your calendar!) and then ... (using ellipses here purely to build anticipation) a colleague told us that Brett Davern, better known as Jake, was going to be across the street during lunchtime, and if we laced up our motorcycle boots fast enough we might be able to catch him. So that we did, friends.

We spotted Brett on the second floor of Planet Hollywood (holding up the restaurant's signage, no less), and immediately grabbed a seat to see what, if anything, he'd tell us about his and Jenna Hamilton's Season 2 state of affairs. "Episode 1 picks up and Jake and Jenna are very much together; they are happy," Davern shared. "He knows nothing about Matty, so as far as Jake's concerned, he's ecstatic."

Clearly, Jake can't stay in the dark for much longer, and Davern confirms so by suggesting that Jenna's relationship with Matty will come to light fairly quickly. And it couldn't happen any faster for him, either. "For my own sanity as an actor, I can't wait until Jake can know about Matty," he says laughing. "It's getting a little tiresome playing that guy."

For the record, we think that guy is pretty damn cool.

'Real World' Spy Cam: Prank Wars Are Under Way At The St. Thomas House!

Posted 4/27/12 3:11 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!

"Real World" has a rich history of in-house pranking, ranging from rodent-planting in Brooklyn to alarm-bombing in San Diego, so you'll be relieved to find out in our second Spy Cam video that the shenans in St. Thomas began pretty much immediately after the "hello, so nice to meet you" exchanges. Brandon S. (there's another Brandon in the house with a last initial of K--maybe he should choose to go by "Knight"?) and Trey, who may or may not have consulted with each other before getting dressed, excitedly speak of the battles going down in St. Thomas in the clip below, making special note of the fact that it's only the first week of filming and "look what's happened already." Judging by the damp condition of their matching wifebeaters, we're guessing water balloons?

MTV Twitter Roundup: Spencer Pratt Fears Space Mining Will Harm Crystals

Posted 4/27/12 2:05 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in The Hills, Top TV Shows

Former 'Hills' villain Spencer Pratt shows off his precious gems.

Leave it to Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron to be one of the three financial backers behind the newest wave of space exploration: asteroid mining. Yes, the time has come when your next job could be that of digging for water and other precious materials on asteroids. Apparently the concept, which was announced earlier this week, didn't sit well with committed gem collector Spencer Pratt, as he tweeted concerns about the removal of space crystals. (And here we thought he'd given up on the hobby entirely.)

His wife, who we presume wasn't nearly as bothered by the intergalactic enterprise, spent more time this week taking jabs at herself online, as evidenced by a message she wrote about her multiple weddings. Montag said that she couldn't keep track of her anniversaries (plural) cuz she and Spencer have married so many times (nice to see her finally cyber-laughing about it). Her former "Hills" costar and now part-time Chicagoan, Kristin Cavallari, also didn't seem too concerned about mining--she was busy with her own career prospects, which include an upcoming TV appearance. Can't wait to see which one it is!

Stepboys Of 'ABDC' Show You Around Their...Cozy...Hotel Digs [Video]

Posted 4/27/12 1:12 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in America's Best Dance Crew, Top TV Shows

Well, let's hope they've got a few rolls of two-ply TP on-hand...

"ABDC" jokers Stepboys recently posted a mock-style "Cribs" episode of their less-than-spacious hotel accommodations, which they consider a mirror of the Taj Mahal. Features include a humble bathtub-as-swimming pool and microscopic closet-for-bedroom, yet the eight-piece team would have you convinced that bottles full of Cris were erupting out of the sink. And if you had any doubts, the master suite is where the magic has, does and will still always happen, guide Gregory assures us. You know, as soon as that freeloader finally rolls off...

What other treasures does the pint-size palace hold? You'll have to see for yourself below. From extravagant detailing in the [beneath-the-bed] walk-in closet to the wonders of world-class dining (TINY KETCHUP BOTTLES!), the place sure is...special.

Saint-Tropez? The Amalfi Coast? Please. Room 318 in that hotel down the street with the half-lit "H" is where it's at.
