'16 And Pregnant' Poll: Is Sarah Better Off Without Blake?

Posted 19 hours ago by Rebecca Brown in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows

On tonight's episode of "16 and Pregnant," we met Georgia native Sarah, a 16-year-old obsessed with the great outdoors and writing (she wanted to study journalism in college), but all of her dreams were pushed to the wayside when she and her boyfriend, Blake, found out they were expecting. Blake dropped out of school a year prior because of poor grades, and after he and Sarah learned about the pregnancy, he moved in with her parents so they could better raise their baby.

The expanded living situation proved to be too tense for everyone, however, as Blake's passion of becoming a shrimp boat captain far outweighed his interest in contributing to the household finances. Not to mention, Blake and Sarah's mom were constantly at odds (she thought he was lazy because he sat around playing video games and wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night to tend to his daughter, Tinleigh). In the end, Blake couldn't take their nagging and left Sarah and their daughter for the open seas.

A Possible 'Project' With 50 Cent Helps Pauly Shake Off His Hangover [Sneak Peek]

Posted 5/15/12 6:04 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Well, folks, you already know how this story ends, but now, you'll get to see how it all unfolded. Pauly's set to take one giant step toward a major recording contract in the next episode of "The Pauly D Project," and, like any fairytale, it all starts with a hangover...

The hair-raising DJ's committed to kicking back after a wild night out in this sneak peek of Thursday's new episode, but any chance at relaxation is immediately shot to hell when he gets a call from his manager, Adam. While Biggie, Jerry and Ryan lounge on the couch, Adam tells his client he needs to get to New York ASAP for a meeting with G-Unit. It all seems a little vague, but what Pauly is sure of is that when 50 Cent sends you an invite, you show up. "You don't get calls every day from a major record label," Biggie points out. You don't say...

+ Check out the video clip to see how Pauly's career milestone first came to be, and tune in Thursday night at 10:30/9:30c to watch the journey play out.

'Teen Wolf' Stars Show Support For The Final Five Dance Crews [Sneak Peek]

Posted 5/15/12 5:30 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in America's Best Dance Crew, Teen Wolf, Top TV Shows

Colton Haynes and Tyler Posey give their best tough guy faces at this week's 'ABDC' taping.

While Stephanie Pratt of "The Hills" was busy throwing support behind fellow MTV star DJ Pauly D and his latest musical pursuits this weekend, two "Teen Wolf" actors took to the "ABDC" audience to see for themselves which of the show's final five crews could best handle the music of Pitbull. It's Colton Haynes' and Tyler Posey's secret to keep for now, but what we do know for sure is last season's runners-up, ICONic Boyz, definitely gave each a run for their money in the opening number.

The adolescent fan-favorites return to their stomping grounds in this sneak peek of Wednesday's all-new episode, fitting right in alongside the current season's competitors while getting down to "I Like How It Feels." The Boyz might be younger than most of the current standouts, but when it comes to talent (in Tiki tops, no less), they might as well be Father Time.

'Money From Strangers' Poll: Would You Rather Stick A Cannoli Down Your Pants Or A Salami Between Your Legs?

Posted 5/15/12 4:26 pm EST by Tina Smithers in Money From Strangers, Top TV Shows

Last night's double-episode of "Money From Strangers" made us extra uncomfortable. (Confession: We liked it.) From rubbing your buttocks on the glass of a fine jewelry store to asking about a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting at a burger joint, we advise you not try these shenanigans at home...unless you've got Britney Spears-sized security. Or, of course, there's $1,000 on the line from one very generous Jeff Dye. Thankfully, these folks were that lucky (unlike *Ellana from Staten Island, who refused to call out some old maids in a dollar store):

Mmm... that's rich. John's foray into an Italian café started out tame enough with some awkward balloon-biting and a bit of random excitement over the Yankees. But when it came time to stuff a cannoli pastry down his pants while exclaiming, "Mmm... that's rich," we lost what little control we had over our emotions. John continued to juggle oranges, inhale helium and devour 10 slices of ham the entire time, all the while carrying a crotch full of cannoli. John and his creamed johnson definitely earned that grand.

5 'Hills' Moments That Could Have Doubled As 'Punk'd' Episodes

Posted 5/15/12 2:03 pm EST by Tina Smithers in Punk'd, The Hills, Top TV Shows

Despite being caught in the middle of nearly every drama-filled, trashtastic situation on "The Hills," Lauren Conrad was ill-prepared for last week's dumpster diver on "Punk'd." Dax Shepard's creative prank aimed at the hard-working author was so good, it got us thinking about some of the more outrageous "Hills" moments. You know, those situations that were so outlandish, you couldn't help but question the show's reality. Here are a few of our faves that easily could have doubled as an episode of "Punk'd":

Lauren picking Jason over Paris (Season 1, Episode 10). Lauren chose to spend the summer with her cheater boyfriend, Jason Wahler, over working a job in Paris with Teen Vogue. What if LC had suddenly run to LAX to tell Whitney Port, "Um, just kidding! I'm totally going! Forget my loser boyfriend!" But instead, per Lisa Love, "She's going to always be known as the girl who didn't go to Paris." (Er, maybe back in 2007, Lisa. But we're totally past that now.)

'The Unit' And His Hair Travel Back To The '60s [Photo]

Posted 5/15/12 1:21 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

'The Unit' opens wide at Martorano's Italian-American Kitchen in Florida.

It's as if Jonny "The Unit" Manfre's biceps and hair are in cahoots--each time his bulging arms grow in circumference, so does his impressively fluffy fro.

The "Jersey Shore" informant certainly isn't the first king with curls that's caught our attention--Boy Meets Worlder and Stanford grad Ben Savage intro'd us to the hairstyle way back in the day (although Savage typically kept his coif tidy)--but "The Unit"'s ever expanding 'do might be deserving of the retro look's greatest honor. Even Napolean Dynamite's got nothing on this gorilla's mane!

While at Martorano's Italian-American Kitchen at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Hollywood earlier this month, "The Unit" shoved a plate of meatballs down his throat--and later, a cannoli down his girlfriend's (chivalry is soooo not kaput)--all the while, keeping his unkempt '60s locks from falling into his food.

Final Season Of 'Teen Mom' To Bring More Twists And Turns [Trailer]

Posted 5/15/12 12:35 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, Top TV Shows

Since we first met Maci, Farrah, Amber and Catelynn on "16 and Pregnant," much has changed in their lives...and much has not. The girls have matured leaps and bounds, transitioning from carefree adolescents to responsible young adults, but none of it came easy, and their lives are still as complicated as ever.

In the below trailer for the final season of "Teen Mom," Amber is shown in the thick of her ongoing emotional issues, mandated to attend rehab, while Catelynn and Tyler appear closer to gaining closure over Carly's adoption. Maci and Ryan continue to struggle with how to co-parent amicably, and Farrah and her own mom seem to have taken two steps back in their relationship.

Check out scenes from Season 4, which premieres June 12 at 10/9c, and tell us if you'll miss following the ups and downs of these young women you've come to know, love and root for throughout every step of their individual journeys.

Snooki To Celebrate One Whole Year Of Tanning Sobriety This Summer!

Posted 5/15/12 11:13 am EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

A less-tan Snooki tweets a shot of her growing baby bump.

Snooki might be developing a mother's glow as her pregnancy proceeds, but there's no longer a trace of fake 'n' bake to her complexion. The "Jersey Shore" meatball recently announced she's given up artificial UV rays for the health of her baby, and actually hasn't hit a salon in nearly a YEAR! Up is down and black is white etc. etc.!

Nicole told E! News Monday that she, unlike another certain Jersey mother, hasn't occupied a single tanning bed since last August (an in-house spray tan salon, perhaps...). Still, she assured those with misgivings about her potential paleness that Casper, she ain't. "I have that natural dark skin," she said. "Even if I didn't tan for two years, I would still be tan."

'Savage' Advice In Action: Own Your Identity

Posted 5/15/12 10:00 am EST by Craig Nadler in Savage U, Top TV Shows

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: Own your identity.

After doling out sex advice to undergrads in the Northeast, Midwest and Bible Belt, last week our "Savage U" dream team made their way down the Eastern seaboard for an important college tradition: Spring Break. Sure, Dan and Lauren were still on the clock, but spending time with students at the University Of Central Florida added an element of fun in the sun, and UCF certainly lived up to its party school rep.

In between de-stigmatizing female masturbation and helping young people avoid a wrong hole scenario (all in a day's work), Professor Sav met up with Aleksandra, a girl who had begun to question her sexual identity and feared judgment from her so-called "friends." Aleksandra had identified as a lesbian throughout her college experience, but recently found herself more and more attracted to men. While she didn't see her experimentation as cause for alarm, her peers in the lesbian community weren't approving of this bi-curiosity. During the sit-down, Dan reassured Aleks that she wasn't betraying herself or her community by choosing to test out the opposite sex. Watch the clip:

Will This Chick Tattoo A Stranger's Initials On Her Body For 80 Bucks? [Bonus Scene]

Posted 5/14/12 10:55 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Money From Strangers, Top TV Shows

Betcha didn't expect to see a marriage proposal go down during tonight's episode of "Money From Strangers," didja?

When contestant Darlene was asked to leave a costume shop only two pranks--and $100--into her challenge, she did whatever she could to hang around longer and earn more moolah. The store's big, burly security guard intervened and demanded she bounce, but money-hungry Darlene wasn't going to comply. What's that you say, Jeff? You'll give me $50 if I ask the guard to marry me? Darlene dropped to her knee and gave it one last hurrah before being physically deported from the place of business. She may not have found her husband, but she made 400 smackaroos!

Even though Darlene's self-respect was totally shot after the episode, she'll probably recover fairly quickly from it all, which we can't say about all of Jeff Dye's street-plucked contestants. In the bonus scene below, Dye challenges a tattooed pedestrian to get one more meaningful mark on her body--his initials, to be specific. If she successfully inks "JD" on her skin, she'll walk away with 80 bucks. (Shouldn't he really up the offer on this one?)
