By Lilit Marcus

Season 3 of "Couples Therapy," featuring four former MTV stars, starts tonight at 10/9c on VH1, and while we're banking on series staples like intense therapy sessions, shouting matches and buckets of tears, we can't help but wonder what issues might come to light for Heather Marter, Dustin Zito, Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell. After watching the trailer below, we noticed a few familiar points of contention that seem to remain unresolved for our "Teen Mom" and "Real World" casties. Here are some things we're expecting to see as these young adults work on healing their relationships:

Dustin's gay porn past
The first words we hear from Dustin in the video are, "I was in the porn industry." Might as well hit the ground running. While he was open with Heather about it (after she found out from her own mother!) during "Real World: Las Vegas," Dustin's ability to talk comfortably about his ex-career has clearly evolved over time. However, despite the strides he's taken in working through his demons (and the fact that D&H claimed to have moved past it after "Battle of the Exes") it's clearly still a sore spot for the couple.

Who Are These 'Rivals II' Competitors, And What Have They Done With Their Former Selves? [Photos]

Posted 6/12/13 1:36 pm EST by in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

Diem Brown looks like a Candyland warrior in her "Rivals II" shot.

A sensible diet and strict exercise regimen are two keys to "Challenge" success, but on "Rivals II," head-to-toe makeovers seem to be the third piece of the puzzle. While thumbing through new photos of the upcoming season's cast, for a moment we thought we were mistaken about the game's premise, and that "Fresh Meat 3" must be on the horizon. Upon closer inspection, however, we can confirm that these players are most definitely veterans of the game -- just updated versions.

From brave cancer survivor Diem, who's sporting a don't-f**k-with-me superhero bob, to feisty Paula, whose abs give her fitness guru partner, Emily, a run for her money, the "Real World" and "Challenge" alums competing this time around barely even resemble their former selves (not that Jasmine would have a functional mirror with which to judge...). Check out the dramatic metamorphoses below, watch the "Rivals II" trailer again and be sure to tune in to the season premiere on July 10 at 10/9c!

Back to blonde! Paula's always up for a "Challenge," but she looks especially ready this time.

By Lilit Marcus

Ever wished you could be one of those people who effortlessly chats with anyone and everyone? Well, our very own Vinny Guadagnino happens to be the perfect role model for those of us not born with the gift of gab: Not only was he the one person on "Jersey Shore" who managed to stay out of most of the drama, but now he's smooth-talked his way into rubbin' elbows with the likes of Ke$ha and Mark Wahlberg on "The Show" -- and he does it with as much grace as he fist-pumps. The shy guys of the world could learn a thing or two from Vin's talk techniques, so if that's you, check out these five must-follow tips for holding down a riveting conversation.

ShowWithVinTalkingTips

Make people feel comfortable.
Welcoming your guests with open arms is a talk show standard, because everyone, especially celebs, are more likely to spill their guts and be authentic if they feel at home. Vinny takes the idea one step further on "The Show" by inviting people into his actual house on Staten Island to meet his fam and break bread.

Jenna Hamilton's Switch To Bad Girl Will Alienate Everyone When 'Awkward.' Returns This Fall [Trailer]

Posted 6/12/13 10:46 am EST by in Awkward, Top TV Shows

Season3Continued

Jenna Hamilton chose to indulge in her selfish impulses on last night's "Awkward" summer finale, and, apparently, she won't be tempted to look back when Season 3 returns this fall. In the blink of an eye, she spat in the face of her hard-earned relationship, and the midseason trailer below shows we've only scratched the surface of her inner-Sandy Olsson. Darker wardrobe? Public infidelities? SMOKING THE POT? J-Town, we hardly knew ye...

As Jenna delves deeper into an affair with Collin, she starts to abandon her friends, until she's finally given a cutting and decisive "Take care!" from BFF Tamara. Jenna pushes away her mother, her guidance counselor and -- horror of horrors -- actually has us siding with Sadie Saxton, who's hell-bent on protecting her good friend Matty McKibben from Beta-J's deceit. "Even though Matty is blind to your treachery, I'm not," Sadie tells her.

Can Jenna get off the dark path she's traveling down, or is she doomed to a permanent state of circling the drain? Check out the trailer, and hang tight for the second half of "Awkward" Season 3 this fall!

With a Skrillex collabo and studio debut said to feature hip-hop heavyweights such as Drake, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller both in the works, as well as scene-stealing guests stints on "Ridiculousness" and "One Life to Live" now under his belt, Mad Decent music artist and former "From G's to Gents" contestant Riff Raff is a neon-bright star on the rise, already achieving some iconic status for his outrageous fashion sense and lyrical wizardry. (Fittingly, he's named his upcoming album "Neon Icon.")

There's a lot to be learned from Riff Raff, which is why he's serving as Remote Control's honorary academic for the entire month of June, doling out definitions of a big word each day. Today's linguistic lesson focuses on the word "maraud" -- take a look at the video, and follow the social media titan's musings on Twitter.

'Awkward.' Poll: Now That Jenna's Indulging In Her Selfish Side, Should Matty Move On?

Posted 6/11/13 10:30 pm EST by in Awkward, Top TV Shows

MattyJenna

Hear that crash? It's the sound of the floor beneath longtime couple Matty McKibben and Jenna Hamilton caving in. The "Awkward" sweethearts have had their ups and downs since they DTRed, but Jenna snapped the fraying rope between them on tonight's summer finale when she gave in to her crush on Collin by kissing him before going into Tamara's first house party -- all while her boyfriend innocently waited for her in the backyard.

Earlier in the evening, Matty and Jenna's mutual resentments blew up over Matty's admitted embarrassment of Jenna, and Jenna's recent selfish behavior. They seemed to work things out, though, and J told Matty she'd meet him at T's after scoping out a photography exhibit with Collin and his girlfriend, Angelique. Welp, Angelique never showed, Collin made his feelings about Jenna clear (guess her suspicions weren't so unfounded) and when he urged Jenna to be selfish for once, she pounced on him. Matty just missed Jenna's brief indiscretion when he went to meet her out front, but it's surely only a matter of time before he finds out.

Ricky Schwartz's Killer Revealed! See Val Finally Crack The 'Awkward.' Case [Video]

Posted 6/11/13 10:00 pm EST by in Awkward, Top TV Shows

good_job_val

All season long, Val's demanding job as Palos Hills High's guidance counselor has taken a backseat to her self-appointed role as town detective. Obsessed with uncovering the truth behind Ricky Schwartz's untimely death-by-peanut, she completely ignored Jenna's relationship issues to seek out answers to this much darker mystery. But worry not, friends, because the school's wise elder has finally found the killer. Sort of.

In the final episode of our "Awkward" web series, Val -- who had all but given up hope that she'd ever avenge Ricky's death -- almost gets the resolution she longs for when Lissa comes clean (it's always the quiet ones) about the murder weapon: Pad Thai. However, Val can barely hear Lissa's confession over the voices in her own head, and she somehow comes to the very, very wrong conclusion that kinky Ricky Schwartz accidentally offed himself David Carradine-style. "Ricky was a thrill seeker!" Val exclaims to Lissa. "It all points to one thing: auto-erotic anaphylactic shock!"

And there you have it. Even though Thailand is clearly to blame, Ricky Schwartz will go down in history as an uncoordinated perv. Hey, as long as Val's happy with herself...

The casts of "Teen Mom" and "Teen Mom 2" are no longer kids, that's for sure. They're getting married, expanding their families and starting careers, but the new crop of young mothers about to be featured on "Teen Mom 3" are just beginning their journeys into the scary, grown-up world of parenthood.

Like the girls that preceded them, Katie, Alex, Mackenzie and Briana all come from different walks of life, but -- as is the case with most teenagers -- they all share a love of social media. In an effort to get you re-acquainted with the four "16 & Pregnant" alum, we've combed their accounts to give you some insight into their daily lives as young parents. Check out their Twitter pics below, and be on the lookout for news about "Teen Mom 3," premiering this summer!

'Most Dope' Rough Cuts: Mac Miller Can't Decide Which Pooch To Purchase [Video]

Posted 6/11/13 4:42 pm EST by in Mac Miller And The Most Dope Family, MTV2, Top TV Shows

Squeezing countless hours of Mac Miller footage into only six "Most Dope Family" episodes was a daunting task for MTV2, and as you'd expect, a lot of great moments didn't make the final cut. But don't worry -- they're not going to waste! While you await the series' return, check in with Remote Control each week for never-before-seen video of the rapper and his pals.

The Animal Kingdom is pretty darn huge, but out of all its members, there's only one creature that gets the coveted title of "Man's Best Friend." Dogs are loyal, loving and always happy to see their owners (well, unless they just ate your shoes -- then they're just scared to death), and in this week's "Most Dope" Rough Cut, a lonely Mac Miller decides he's ready for a canine companion of his own. Only problem is, the search for the perfect pooch proves to be too overwhelming for the indecisive 21-year-old.

"I want to get the right dog," Mac says in the clip below, following a few stressful minutes of online browsing. While we think he needs to relax -- he's looking for a dog, not a wife -- getting a puppy is a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly, and Mac's next claim about his exhausting search makes us think he miiiight not be ready for the responsibility that comes with caring for an animal. "Having a baby is so much easier, because you just have sex and the baby comes out," he rationalizes. Yeah...we think we know a few teen moms who would disagree with you, bud.

5 'Teen Wolf' Transformations You REALLY Want To See Again [GIFs]

Posted 6/11/13 4:31 pm EST by in Teen Wolf, Top TV Shows

Trans2

One of Scott McCall's first transformations involved ear extensions that would be the envy of any elf.

Maybe a leopard never changes its spots, but a "Teen Wolf" is in a constant state of change. Since the show's very first episode, werewolves and all the night's most eerie creatures have sprouted pointier body parts, bushy sideburns and in one case, scales, while shifting from one being to the next, and frankly, the process looks rather exhausting. Isn't there an express lane for bending matter and defying biology?

From the first time we saw Scott transform from man to beast, to the most recent (and horrifying) switcharoo, courtesy of Alphas Aiden, Ethan and their tag-team monster-mash, these GIFs will have you thankful to be an average Joe. After all, your bad days have probably never included nails being driven into your forehead. Tough break, Erica...

Trans4

Poor Erica! It's tough to fight the moonlight when you're wearing a crown made of nails.
