Ron Ron Juice: Now Available In Girly Cocktail Form!

Posted 4/6/12 10:56 am EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Ronnie's got a thirst for three more liquor store experiments.

There's no doubt about it--when Ron Ron Juice hits package stores later this year, the drink will be a summertime BBQ revelation. But in the event a no-frills get-together develops into a more sophisticated soiree, Ron will have you covered there, too, as the "Jersey Shore" star recently announced he's got a line of colorful diet cocktails on the way as well. How Skinny Girl Margarita of him!

The "Smooshjito," "Cosmush" and "Smooshita" are on the road to public consumption, Ron announced on his Facebook page, and the "Smush Cocktail" trio looks like it might give its mixed drink predecessors a run for their money. Plus, the spirits are set to chug straight from the bottle--no need for a Snooki Soda mixer. (That's not to say you shouldn't always have some of her pop handy--ya never know when a pregnant friend will want to join the party...)

+ Would you invest in a bottle or two of the "Smooshita" for an Independence Day rager? Tell us what you think of the idea, and make sure to follow the Smush Cocktails Twitter account for the latest in the drink's production.

Ryan From 'The Pauly D Project' And Brody Jenner: Twins?

Posted 4/6/12 10:00 am EST by Rebecca Brown in The Hills, The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Is this even a real question? Ryan Labbe from "The Pauly D Project" and Brody Jenner could damn near be the same person, in which case, are we not sitting high up in Times Square, but instead, trapped inside an episode of "The Twilight Zone"? (No kids, Robert Pattinson's not in that one.)

Let's examine all of the unscientifically proven characteristics that support our argument, shall we? First, they both have that unshaven, half-committed I'm-not-a-D-bag-I-just-don't-give-an-f goatee/beard thing going on. Second, look into their eyes: They're dark and strong, as if Ryan and The Brodester are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders and mulling it all over. Now, take a moment to check out their physique. They're both familiar with the feeling of a little tattoo pinch; it's just that Brody's missing the intense collarbone armor. (Wonder if Ryan's ever gotten a girlfriend's named scribed across his bod and then broken up with her?)

+ Think these two studs could practically be twins, or is it all in our head? Take the poll, then be sure to check out the interview clip with Ryan below, in which we ask him whether he sees the resemblance. "If we have similar features, that's for other people to decide," he says, sort of defensively. Fair enough, dude. We just did. Boom! You're twins.

'Pants' Finale Poll: Are You Glad Jason Walked Away From Jane?

Posted 4/5/12 11:30 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in I Just Want My Pants Back, Top TV Shows

If we learned anything from Jason over the season of "I Just Want My Pants Back," it's that it's not easy to forget about a babe you fridge-banged who then stole your favorite skinny jeans and left you with nothing but the direct line to a B-rated Thai joint. Even his failed attempts at finding her using a Missed Connections ad weren't enough to completely kill the dream, and with each random hookup and awkward "binosaur" love triangle that could have deterred him, he still couldn't shake the memory of Miss Jane.

During tonight's finale, the dark clouds lifted and Jason finally got some good news--a job offer at a real company with real benefits (or so he thinks). While he was out celebrating with Tina and her maybe-boyfriend, J bumped into Jane and was all too excited to pick up where they left off. But when she revealed--post-makeout, of course--that she had a boyfriend, he took the high road and decided against being "that guy." He left Jane with his phone number and instructions to call him, should she ever become single again.

+ Did Jason make the right choice to walk away from Jane, or should he have gone home with her, if even for just one night? Take the poll and let us know!

Final Scores Are In! Jason Wins The 'Pants' Amateur Olympics Gold, Tina Takes Silver

Posted 4/5/12 11:30 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in I Just Want My Pants Back, Top TV Shows

The twentysomething Brooklynites of "I Just Want My Pants Back" might be masters of witty banter, but their actions speak louder than words--and their actions are often questionable. We took a look at the most amateurish (yet awesome) behavior exhibited THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SEASON, tallying up every individual's offensiveness with a concrete point system (3 points for each previous week's gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze) and got our final answer as to who's least likely to ever ditch the training wheels and leave the borough's squalor behind them. Check out the results below.

JASON (20 points): It might be a surprise to see the guy with such a good head on his shoulders top the list. Kidding! Jason is an unabashed wreck and has devoured gold medals week after week since the competition got under way. From falling for a girl who first wanted to bump uglies in the fridge (that's a solid, three-pointer, folks) to allowing the sight of her weeks later to kill his chance at a killer job, Jason was a mess when it came to dealing with the fallout from the hookup that stole his pants and hung him out to dry--or, as he liked to call her, the love of his life, Jane. Along the path to healing, Jason temped as an accidental prostitute, got it on with a chick with "binosaur" baggage and slept with an old friend he was sure was using him for acting gigs that he couldn't actually provide (all gold-medal worthy, as well!). Sadly, when Jason came to his senses at the end of the season, it meant letting Jane go once and for all, but he can take solace in his first-place finish with an impressive season-spanning 20 points.

AMATEUR STANDING: GOLD

TINA (14 points): She certainly put up a good fight, but Tina's few flashes of competence throughout the season could only earn her a collective second place, and the competition's perpetual golden girl was relegated to the runner-up spot. She got off on the wrong foot (or the right one, in a competitive sense) when she refused to move on from her fling with the thinly mustached Brett. And each time the guy re-emerged from the woodwork, and Tina took him back, she continued to rack in the amateur prestige. Still, while disturbingly amateur, her insistence to let a friend incorrectly diagnose a non-STD and choice to date a Green Day wannabe both fell short of winning. And even though she made an absolute mess of things during the finale, Jason ultimately beat her out for the top spot by 6 points. Hey, at least the fall from non-grace amounted to officially taking Photographer Paul off the market. Just, please, no mention of that virgin intern whose V-card you snatched...

AMATEUR STANDING: SILVER

The 'Project' Crew Puts Jerry Through Hell During A Round Of 'Never Have I Ever' [Video]

Posted 4/5/12 11:00 pm EST by Lisa Chudnofsky in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

Never have we ever...forced the "Pauly D Project" cast to play Never Have I Ever. And never have we ever...laughed so hard at people playing Never Have I Ever that we shot--projectile style--vanilla soy latte straight out of our nostrils and all over the cue cards.

It was the best day of our life, as the DJ himself might say, when Vinny Guadagnino challenged his boys to one round of the notoriously sloppy drinking game (known more commonly to New Englanders as Nevahh Have I Evahh) during our latest episode of "The VIP Lounge." And as if the cast came totally prepared, one by one each of them called out poor, little Big Jerry for his past transgressions. And for his fashion sense.

For the record, Jer, we think the shirt's sexy, just like you <3

In any case, we encourage YOU guys not to hate the players, but the game itself. Check it out below, and as long as you have a spare few, g'head and also take a look at last time's Smush, Marry, Murder showdown!

'Pauly D Project' Poll: Could Ryan's Fighting Hurt Pauly's Career?

Posted 4/5/12 10:55 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

In some instances, you are the company you keep, but when you're Pauly D and your image is as structurally sound as the Spiker gel keeping your blowout in place, it shouldn't really matter who the heck you hang out with, right? Well...

We barely got two seconds into tonight's episode of "The Pauly D Project" before a liquored-up Ryan got belligerent at his buddy's send-off party and ruffled Jerry's newly trim feathers. Everyone swept his behavior under the rug (cuz that was the only choice Ryan gave them), but they were justifiably worried what would happen if he lost his temper again in Vegas. Which, of course, he did.

The first night the excited foursome went out, someone pushed Ryan and out came his aggro alter ego. Having been to Sin City clubs way too many times, we know firsthand that shoving is the only way for someone to navigate their way through all the silicone and sparklers, but we get it--dudes, especially Ryan, don't like to be shoved. Unfortunately, Jerry's attempt to calm him down was a lost cause, as the 10 shots of dark liquor were already doing victory laps around his bloodstream.

Ronnie Or One Of Two Tylers: Who Got 'Punk'd' The Hardest?

Posted 4/5/12 10:30 pm EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Punk'd, Top TV Shows

The ninth season of "Punk'd" kicked off with pranking newb Justin Bieber as host, yet MTV decided to turn to the other side of the shenanigans spectrum--vet Bam Margera--to give a completely different vibe for round two. And, friends, from lending a hand to a taco truck explosion to sending someone unarmed into the line of fire, the former "Jackass" star did not disappoint.

The son of April and Phil had his sights set on Tyler, The Creator first. Bam led the guy to believe he'd detonated a taco truck that was sending its proceeds to charity by leaving its interior gas stove on while grabbing a snack. Tyler look stunned initially, but then proceeded to whip out his camera and document the person who'd been set on fire by the explosion (his Twitter followers needed to see this!). Eventually, though, he showed some actual concern and was relieved to find out the whole thing was a hoax.

Bam kept it in the MTV family when he set out to pull the wool over Ronnie's eyes. The "Jersey Shore" star thought he'd stopped at a convenience store so that his stylist, Jenni, could pick up some tampons before an event. Her pseudo-purchase went fake-awry, though, and when the "police" pulled up, Ron realized she'd been taken hostage. He played it cool while negotiating with the mock-terrorist on the phone, but his scared face when he reluctantly stepped inside the store to settle the score was absolutely priceless.

For Rob's Next 'Fantasy Factory' Trick, He Will Become...Drama [Sneak Peek]

Posted 4/5/12 1:50 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, Top TV Shows

You may have thought that Rob Dyrdek's transformation into a morbidly obese version of himself would be the extent of his theatrics for the season, and if that's the case, then you just haven't watched enough "Fantasy Factory." (A little late to the party, don't you think?) Dude's constantly drumming up new ways to make people laugh--just this week he taught Big Cat how to make a proper viral video (well, by taught we mean he convinced the guy to mount a rhino just for s***s and giggles), and next week, his goal is create the ultimate musical about his other talented cousin.

In the below sneak peek of Monday's all-new episode, Rob dresses up as his "man dime" relative and colleague, Drama. Of course, in order for the skateboard legend to completely get into character he needs to mirror Chris Pfaff's every move. He starts by copying his style (see: painting an unkempt beard on his face), then picks up on Drama's swag and flip-into-the-foam technique. Can't wait for the musical to hit Broadway!

Pregnancy Forces Lindsey To Quit Cage Fighting [Sneak Peek]

Posted 4/5/12 12:38 pm EST by Rebecca Brown in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows

As we've seen throughout every season of "16 and Pregnant," unplanned pregnancy forces teenagers to pump the breaks on their immediate goals and head in an entirely new direction. During the most recent episode of the docu-series, all Briana wanted to do was start her freshman year of college with her close-knit circle of friends, but things didn't unfold the way she'd hoped, and she wound up raising her daughter alone at home. Regardless of each individual's life ambitions, the young people featured on the show are always sorely disappointed when they have to abandon their aspirations in order to become parents.

In this sneak peek of Tuesday's all-new episode, Lindsey explains this very dilemma to a friend. She says she has to stop cage fighting to protect the baby, even though she really wants to go pro. The very thought of telling her trainer that she's hanging up her trunks for motherhood triggers tears.

Jillian Rose Reed Continues The MTV Topless Trend [Photo]

Posted 4/5/12 10:29 am EST by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Awkward, Top TV Shows

Hey, Jill--uhhh, forgetting something?

The ladies of MTV are a lot of things--bold, authentic and, lately, topless. First, as our friends at MTV Style report, Lauren Conrad will grace the May cover of Glamour sans shirt (which was quite a surprise for her, too), and now, Jillian Rose Reed has been spotted hangin' around the "Awkward" set in the fractional-buff. We can only imagine what's to come from her character, Tamara...

Show director David Katzenberg recently tweeted a photo of his set's resident redhead with the caption "That awkward moment when you realize you're topless." We thought it might have been a preplanned stunt, but Molly Tarlov seemed social-media stunned when she saw the photo for herself, and could only muster up an "OMG." Hey, if Jenna Hamilton found freedom in going upper-half al fresco, then maybe her fictional best friend will have the same luck when Season 2 rolls around. Or...maybe it's just a little humid by the bleachers.

+ Surprised to see JRR nonchalantly hangin' out? Tell us what you think of her...nontraditional...on-set decorum.
