If there's any part of you that wants to offend people, or win money--or do both of those things simultaneously--then your best bet is to connect with roaming funnyman and "Money From Strangers" host Jeff Dye, cuz he can certainly make it happen. Well, if you've got the balls to act as he says.

So far, Dye has managed to mortify a costume shop's security guard by daring a contestant to propose to him, and successfully confused an entire taco joint by getting someone to throw food into the store's tip jar. But in a state as big as New York, which is where Dye and his accomplices have been executing all of their dirty work, there are just too many ways to embarrass people for the prank captain to slow his roll...

If you're anything like us, you spend the weekly "ABDC" eliminations biting your nails, hoping that just once host Mario Lopez will say the judges have decided that neither of the bottom two crews will be going home.

Tonight, our prayers were answered.

The ceremony was intense! On the chopping block were Fanny Pak, who appeared unified but rather nervous about their fate, and Rated Next Generation, who seemed convinced it was their time to go. Both teams had close calls last week so it could have gone either way, but when tough judge JC Chasez whispered to us at the taping that this week's decision would be hard for some fans to digest, we knew something interesting was about to go down.

Pitbull joined the "ABDC" crews onstage for Week 6, kicking off the show with a sizzling beach-themed opening number and unveiling the anticipated guest appearance of Season 6's Iconic Boyz! The chart-topper's platinum hit "International Love" inspired the episode's challenge, which tasked the top 5 teams with incorporating global dance moves into their routines, like Brazil's Capoeira and China's Guanyin (Dance of a Thousand Hands).

The house was abuzz with celebrity fans who couldn't get enough of the action--from buxom Playmates Ashley Hobbs, Hiromi Oshima and Jaclyn Swedberg to the swarthy "Teen Wolf" leads Tyler Posey and Colton Haynes, and even towering teen star Zendaya (who surprised 8 Flavahz and RNG with a visit backstage, causing a cacophony of squeals).

Jersey's Iconic Boyz made an indelible mark on "ABDC" history last season, as they were the first all-kid crew to join the cutthroat competition. Though small, they proved they had much heart, nabbing the attention of millions of fans across the country and inspiring new young crews (like this year's superstars 8 Flavahz and Rated Next Generation) to follow their lead.

The Boyz, currently on tour with the NRG Dance Project, joined the top 5 crews on the "ABDC" stage this week to add extra pizzazz to the Pitbull-driven, beach party showstopper. After the performance, they chatted with Mario Lopez and the audience, then waged war in one of the show's fiercest dance battles ever--against their new friends in 8 Flavahz (pictured above).

There's a lot to deal with once a baby is born, such as middle-of-the-night feedings, dirty diapers and the constant crying. But one of the biggest struggles of being a teen parent is the literal price tag. Taking care of a child isn't cheap; it can easily cost more than $10,000 during the first year alone, and the expenses only grow from there.

Consider a couple like Sarah and Blake. Neither of them finished high school, and he was only working part time. Sarah's mom tried to help out financially as best she could, but then Blake took off for his new shrimp boat job down South, and left Sarah and Baby Tinleigh behind with no clear child support plan in place.

"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!

Mike Mizanin proved "Real World" roommates are capable of dual personalities way back in the series' tenth season, but while "The Miz" definitely suffered through a few loose screws, he was ultimately still human. The new crop of St. Thomas roommates, on the other hand, are outright mutants, and the video footage we've collected below confirms it.

Steer clear of Kryptonite, wiggle into that Spandex suit and check out the latest from our Spy Cam. Up, up and...to the bar!

Think your parents first got together in sweet, innocent "Sleepless in Seattle" fashion? Not the case, say Dan and Lauren of "Savage U." In fact, it's more likely they totally went to town long before the DTR took place. (What, you don't like picturing Mom and Dad bumping uglies?)

The sex soothsayers swing an ax through the notion that any quality relationship should start in Prudeland in the below interview clip. They note that college students shouldn't be ashamed if an eventual exclusive commitment starts with a hookup, and that they'll be holding their breath for awhile if they expect to meet a sig other strictly by means of accidental tong-bump at the grocery store's salad line. Ain't happnin', kids! Just ain't happnin'...

At exactly 11:58 EST this morning, we logged onto Vevo.com and anxiously tapped our feet in anticipation of Pauly D's new music video for "Night Of My Life"--the theme song to his hit MTV series, "The Pauly D Project"--which he announced would premiere on the site at noon. So, by the time you read this blog post, we will have already unplugged our headphones, cranked up the volume (sorry, coworkers trying to make important phone calls) and hit replay at least a dozen times--that's the sort of love we have for G-Unit's leading maestro.

But enough from us. Check out the high-energy video below, which features PD's Rhode Island crew, and tell us what you think of it. The only thing that could have possibly made our viewing experience more pleasurable is if we had a little glass of Remix to pound along with it. (Accepting donations NOW!)

Sabrina's story, like many of the other stories on "16 and Pregnant," touched on an important question: Why didn't she know the consequences of having unprotected sex?

As with lots of other teens, Sabrina took her school's sex-ed class. Both her parents and the program told her that she wasn't ready to have sex, but they didn't explain why. Needless to say, Sabrina still thought she could handle it; only in hindsight did she feel differently.

So how do you know if you're truly ready? There's no one moment or specific sign, but it's never right to do it because someone else wants to, or if you feel pressured by your friends or think you're the only one who hasn't had it yet. (In reality, more than half of high school-aged teens are virgins.) Sex should be a decision made between you and your partner after you've talked about your feelings, considered the consequences and worked out how to protect yourselves from pregnancy.

Vinny poses with his book, "Control The Crazy," at a recent signing in Hollywood.

For a young guy, the merits of celebrity might include free-flowing top shelf liquor, nights out with his favorite pro athletes and an omnipresent gaggle of girls. One-on-one guidance from his soul's hero, though? Not always a guarantee. As a nervous Vinny Guadagnino of "Jersey Shore" points out in his YouTube interview below, "I can go party with rappers every night, but not really...spiritual gurus."

The thinking-man's guido opens himself up to "Mind-body healing pioneer" Deepak Chopra on a New York City rooftop, and after Chopra shares some basic tips on achieving true calmness--sitting up straight, keeping legs uncrossed and leaving open hands faced upward--the two launch into a full-blown de-stressing exercise. The "Control The Crazy" author is advised by the new-age guru to always maintain a sense of "peace, harmony, laughter and love," and eventually, the mantra will be hardwired into his brain and lower even the most out-of-whack heart rate. Dare we ask if it would function in the face of killer sharks...?
