6 Ways NOT To Score A Hookup With Pauly D

Posted 4/16/12 11:57 am EST by Tina Smithers in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

We saw Pauly D shoot down a grenade or two during last week's episode of "The Pauly D Project," yet one chick made it past the velvet curtain, earning some hand-holding, a bit of "Real recognizes real" gibberish and even (huh?) the L-word. While something tells us Pauly's romance with Christina will be short-lived, we can't help but wonder: PD has his pick from the freshest dames in Vegas, so how'd homegirl do it? Until we unlock the mystery, we can sure as hell tell you what she didn't do…

1. Touch his hair. Oh, hai, Captain Obvious. Pauly's blowout is on par with The Situation's abs and Snooki's pouf (RIP). Yes, it's tempting to cop a feel--like, is it really as stiff as it looks? (That's what she said.) But even grazing his coif with your perfectly proportioned teets will have the man running for the Shore faster than you can pump your fist. And a blowout boob-slap? Fuggedaboutit.

2. Behave like a drunken trash bag. Few things are more hideous than a lady (or lad) who can't hold their liquor, as evidenced by last week's Elvira pizza party-crasher who all but carried an entire bar inside her imitation handbag. You know you have issues when Biggie asks, "So how long ya been an alcoholic?"

Big Jerry Blows His First Foray Into Pranking [Bonus Scene]

Posted 4/16/12 11:21 am EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Well, he gave it his best shot, but Big Jerry, like everyone else, learned one very valuable lesson the hard way while trying to get the best of the "Pauly D Project" crew: If you enter into a series of prank wars while in the presence of the prank king, you're gonna get burned.

Jerry tries to blow the guys out of their chairs with an air horn in the Episode 3 bonus scene below, but accidentally muffles the device's sound by holding it upside down. He admits his mistake, gives up and heads to bed, but Pauly and Biggie aren't ready to let him off the hook just yet. After Jerry's conked out, the menacing duo take the same horn, make their way to Jerry's bed and jolt him into consciousness like a real-life "Don't Wake Daddy." "Is that the most unpleasant way to wake up, ever?" Pauly asks of the ear-splitting scream the horn emits. Well, it's at least one of the most unpleasant.

+ Check out the video below, and tell us if you think Jerry will hang up his punking aspirations for good.

'True Life' Check-In: Rocky Thanks MTV Viewers For Their Support

Posted 4/15/12 6:00 pm EST by Editor in Top TV Shows, True Life

On tonight's "True Life Presents: I'm Getting a Second Chance," we were reintroduced to Rocky, a previously heavy guy that's been struggling with his new body image ever since he shed the weight. So how has he been doing since the show taped? Check out our Q&A update below.

ROCKY
Are you still living at home?
I'm still at home. My family is far from the "Brady Bunch" or any distant relative, but on the positive side, the dynamic has improved greatly as a result of the show. Hands down to Laurie Gerber, the Handel Group, Josh Haygood and the entire production staff for their great efforts and persistence. Through this journey of self-realization, my family and I finally saw the possibility of change and are now taking steps towards actualizing complete happiness at home.

Have you been able to maintain the healthy lifestyle you created?
Laurie has helped me tremendously in creating a healthy lifestyle. I've been battling weight my whole life. As you saw in the show, skinny doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. I've established a track record of failed and aborted diets, starting from when I was first referred to as "fat" and "ugly." I've come to realize you can't change everyone.

'True Life' Check-In: How Lauren, Spring And Andrew's Eating Habits Have Changed

Posted 4/15/12 5:00 pm EST by Editor in Top TV Shows, True Life

Tonight's "True Life" explored the stories of three young people obsessed with avoiding unhealthy foods, a condition known as Orthorexia. We had an opportunity to check in with them to find out how their lives have changed since filming wrapped--take a look at the follow-up Q&As below:

LAUREN
How has your life changed since you became a vegan?
Since becoming vegan, certain staples in my diet have changed. All of the animal products such as my egg whites and casein protein have been replaced by plant sources. I would say my diet regimen is about as scheduled and rigid as before just with substitutions. All in all, I feel great so far and love everything about it so I don't plan on going back to previous ways anytime soon.

Are you dating anyone?
I am currently talking to someone. Similar to myself, she eats very healthy and while she isn't vegan, tries to stay plant-based when possible. So far she has been very understanding and can relate to a good amount of my crazy food logic. Since Brooke, I realized my passion for healthy eating is something I need to have in common with a significant other.

What was it like sharing your story with us?
I don't regret any part of sharing my story with "True Life." My fixation on the way healthy food can be used as a tool is not rare, and I really wanted to open people's eyes.

'True Life' Check-In: Sateema Has Quit Stripping Altogether

Posted 4/15/12 4:00 pm EST by Editor in Top TV Shows, True Life

Tonight's "True Life" explored the stories of two young women who were supporting their boyfriends, both financially and emotionally. We had an opportunity to check in with them to find out how their lives have changed since filming wrapped--take a look at the follow-up Q&As below:

SATEEMA
Have you made a decision about joining the Air Force?
I am currently teaching at Perth Amboy Public Schools, and just got hired as a case manager. I am studying like mad for the MCAT, and am still on the fence about the Air Force because I want to see which medical school accepts me. I am not guaranteed a spot in a medical school in the state I live in, so I applied all over the U.S. for both M.D. and D.O. medical schools. The Air Force is still a possibility, but I don't want it to interfere with my focus. Also, I have quit stripping altogether.

Are you dating anyone?
My social life is great! I'm still contemplating leaving Joshua (for good), but co-parenting with him is great, as he is an excellent father. I'm not sure I can date anyone else yet.

What was it like sharing your story with us?
I look at this as a learning experience. I really want to see if I am overlooking something, or if it's really not as bad as some make it seem. The producers were phenomenal! They worked with my schedule and tolerated my weird multiple personalities.

2 Chainz Helps 'Hip Hip POV' Kick Off Its Concert Series [Video]

Posted 4/13/12 5:26 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Hip Hop POV, Top TV Shows

Having finally met the hosts of "Hip Hop POV," we can say with certainty that radio DJ Charlamagne Tha God is a tough one to please. So when he announced that the show's first performer was one of his favorite artists currently in the game, we knew we had to take a listen--and the revered 2 Chains definitely entertained.

The Georgia-born rapper and Def Jam artist took to the stage at the tail end of the "POV" premiere to perform two of his hits--"Spend It" and "Riot." While he strutted around the stage like a seasoned pro, he still deferred to one lyric to make sure all eyes were on him: "Lame dudes, be quiet." The crowd seems to follow his advice, no questions asked--that is, until he asked them to start a riot, and they obliged then too. That's the power of 2 Chainz, folks. That is the power of 2 Chainz.

+ Check out the hip-hop star doing what he does best below, and make sure to tune in to "Hip Hop POV" every Wednesday at midnight for a new artist performance!

MTV Twitter Roundup: Jionni Spares A Creature's Life, Johnny Bananas Takes One

Posted 4/13/12 4:53 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Jersey Shore, The Challenge, Top TV Shows

Along came a spider and sat down beside...Jionni and he...gave that thing the boot.

OK, before you freak out and send PETA a panicked email, understand that Johnny Bananas' announcement was made in jest, or at least that's what we hope of the "Challenge" vet...

While JB was busy debating whether or not to let his poor ol' injured dog go (guess "Best In Show" was never in its future...), Jionni of "Jersey Shore" was purging unwanted creatures from his and Snooki's household in preparation for their new baby (LOOK AT THAT SPIDER!) and documenting the experience over social media. Like her meatball-in-crime, Deena started to get babies on the brain and began to consider names for her future boy or girl, and mom-to-be Kristin Cavallari threw former "Hills" blood sister Whitney Port a fashion bone by wearing one of the designer's dresses while out and about in Los Angeles. The cast of "Awkward," on the other hand, was busy wearing a whole lotta nothing, according to Nikki Deloach (the case of Jillian Rose Reed's bare torso solved...?).

Oh, and sexpert Dan Savage hates to be the bearer of bad news, but guys can't have orgasms. About that...

+ Check out what MTV's best and brightest had to say over Twitter this week, and apologies if we've just given you a week's worth of nightmares.

'Horny' Student Seeks Dan's Online Dating Tips [Sneak Peek]

Posted 4/13/12 4:03 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in Savage U, Top TV Shows

You're in the ice cream section of the grocery store picking up yet another pint of Ben & Jerry's for yet another solo date with "Law & Order," and suddenly you sense you're being stared at. In your peripheral, you notice the curious eyes belong to a person of the opposite sex, and he/she is inching toward you...closer...closer. You're asked your name, told you have a nice smile and eventually find out you're both obsessed with USA Network reruns. Two hours later, you're in an exclusive relationship. Ah, the single American's dream.

And it's so never happening.

Face it, online dating has become the way of the world (or as Dan Savage calls it, a "sex Pez dispenser"), and even though shopping for a compatible partner by way of computer sounds more taxing and less romantic than being a "Hunger Games" tribute (after all, Katniss did find love in the forest...), it's a viable way to meet other people who are sick of sleeping alone.

Chet From 'Real World' And 'The Challenge' Wants To Make You A Modern Day Gatsby!

Posted 4/13/12 12:31 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Challenge Dailies, Real World, The Challenge, Top TV Shows

If you want the perfect bagel, you go to New York City. If you want the perfect bow tie, you go to Chet Cannon from "The Challenge" and "Real World: Brooklyn." The 21st century's Gatsby equivalent has officially launched his own line of striped, dotted and multitoned neck adornments, and we must ask: Who better to mass market the old-school clothing accessory than the guy who'd probably run back into a burning building to save his own?

Chet has officially launched "Chester Pink," an online host to bow ties, "wild rags" and instructions on how to successfully operate each (thank the good Lord), and we have to say--it's all looking pretty good. Were it not for our aversion to wearing nice things at the risk of spilling...anything...on them, we might have placed an order for "The Spenny" or classed things up with an elegant "Sally Lu," each for less than $40. That's quality and affordability, friends.

Check out one of Chet's many designs below, take notice of an extremely useful how-to video (seriously...that sh**'s hard) and place an order pronto to manage the look of the best-dressed alum in Bunim-Murray history.
