Can you identify with being invisible at school but super popular (or at the very least, decently favored) outside of it, like at places such as summer camp? Back in the day, three-time U.S. National Champion figure skater Johnny Weir knew the frustration well. "I was traveling a lot while I was still attending public high school, [and] I'd get back from all these beautiful, worldly experiences and then I'd just be the kid that got made fun of because I was a lot smaller than everyone else," he shares with fans in the upcoming episode of "When I Was 17."

Check out the sneak peek to hear Johnny relive an embarrassing memory of getting tangled up in a bigger student's backpack, plus make sure to see the new episode (also featuring Jackson Rathbone and Keri Hilson) this Saturday at 11/10c.

Aside from his slapsticky sketch humor and revolving door of celebrity guests, the best thing Snoop has going for him is his total unpredictability. Case in point, this unscripted encounter with Keri Hilson (hey, girl!), in which Snoop tells the "Energy" singer what he'd do if he were ever face-to-face with Simon Cowell on Hip Hop: American Idol.

Snoop: If Simon was a judge on the show that I was on, as an artist trying to get on, I'd make a rap up about him and probably snatch him up out of his tight leather shirt and put hands on him.
Keri Hilson: (speaking in fake British accent): I don't think that is appropriate.
Snoop: Well, let me tell you what IS appropriate, Mr. Simon, since you think you know what is ... (pause) No, some real talk, we need to calm down, I don't want him looking for me, you know what I'm sayin'?

We know what you're sayin'. But FYI, if Simon ever DOES come knocking down your door, we're thinking you (a gangsta rapper and former Long Island Cripp) could probably take him (a tubby/effeminate European) in street fight.

Or even just a staring a contest.

My wife: "What did you do at work today, honey?"
Me: "Eh, same old, same old. I hung out with that Michael dude from Bromance, pretended to go camping sans pants and used cheesecakes as footwear. How was your day?"

Yep, things are still wacky in DetoxLand. In honor of Whitney Port's headwear (displayed proudly in tonight's episode of my favorite show on the planet, The City), I'm wearing a different hat in every single shot. Thanks MTV Wardrobe department! But apparently our hijinks are too wacky for a Pitchfork-favorite band whose publicist told us -- in so many words -- that they would rather eat glass than appear on our weird show. (Wah, wah.)

Still, we scored Keri Hilson for tonight's recap, and we love her so yay! (Plus, she is a mean quizzer.) AND we booked a different indie group for Wednesday's Real World Detox recap and they're down for whatevs. Word! I'm just thankful that no celebs were on hand when we shot the ole "barefoot in cheesecake" bit, which was not a pretty sight. (Nor smell. Cheesecake is pungent under hot lights ... and in between toes! Ick.)

Sadly our Monday night recap was too long this go-round, therefore we had to abandon my weekly Olivia Palermo Love-Fest. (Booo!) So, I guess, at this rate it'll be a bi-monthly Olivia Love-Fest? Not as exciting, I know, but there's still plenty of stuff for you to sink your teeth into. So watch my impressive hat collection! Watch Michael from Bromance have another low-grade temper tantrum! And watch how well Junior's Cheesecake adapts to the contours of my feets! All this and more awaits you in your MTV Detox for Monday, January 19...

Singer/songwriter Keri Hilson stopped by the Top Pop studios yesterday to share her expertise and incredible vocal talent with the remaining groups in the competition. "Her voice is so amazing, and she's totally got a sick ear!" Jazmin's Daria Kong said about Keri.

Hilson, who is finishing up her debut solo album with Timbaland, took extra time with each group to offer the up-and-comers some real world advice about making it big...
