5 'Jersey Shore' Potty Fouls

Posted 2/14/12 12:32 pm ET by Kelli B. Bender in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

It's safe to assume that a significant portion of the world knows about Snooki's UTI--even her dad got an earful of the dirty details. While she raised awareness about her bladder issues, bathroom accidents are hardly just a Meatball Problem--they affect the entire "Jersey Shore" house. To prove our point, we rounded up five memorable potty fouls.

1. JWOWW Pops A Squat: Remember when JWOWW peed behind Karma's deserted upstairs bar because the line for the ladies' room was too long? We sure do! She hosed the evidence down with fountain soda while Snooki--and millions of viewers--looked on in amusement.

2. Sitch Gets Stuck: Instead of having an issue getting into a bathroom, Mike had trouble getting out. Thanks to a faulty water closet door at the gang's Italian villa, he was forced to hang by the toilet way longer than duty called for.

The 5 Craziest Departures In 'Challenge' History

Posted 2/8/12 12:09 pm ET by Kirthana Ramisetti in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

During last week's episode "Battle of the Exes," Sarah and Vinny were sent home as a result of Vinny's ungentlemanly behavior towards Mandi. There are ways to leave "The Challenge" with dignity, and then are reasons to pack everything up that have nothing to do with the competition at all. Here are the most shocking exits in "Challenge" history.

Puck on "Battle of the Sexes"
The bad boy from "Real World San Francisco" started trouble before the game even began, getting into a fight with David from "Real World: Los Angeles" and spitting in his face. David tried to get him sent home for his lewd actions, and when production came to remove him from the show, the cast rallied in support. A few episodes later, Puck married his longtime girlfriend in a ceremony that was witnessed by most of his competitors, but his happiness was short-lived when his bride was detained by authorities. Puck went ballistic as a result and trashed the house, which led to his early departure.

Steven on "Battle of the Sexes Part II"
If you're a die-hard viewer of "Real World" and "The Challenges," then you know that physical violence is always unacceptable. Steven from the original "Real World Las Vegas" crew learned that lesson the hard way when he slapped his teammate Shane during the heat of competition. Even though Shane wasn't offended, the game was halted and Steven was eliminated immediately.

5 Essential Components To A 'Pants'-Approved Bodega

Posted 2/6/12 5:33 pm ET by Rebecca Brown in I Just Want My Pants Back, Top TV Shows

Bodegas are as much a staple of the New York City landscape as the strip malls and high school soccer fields of suburbia. One part corner deli and two parts social scene, a proper bodega is the type of store you'd duck into for a cheap cup of coffee that tastes like yesterday, or a bag of Chips Ahoy with an ambiguous expiration date. For Jason and Tina, it's the place they meet nearly every morning-after to chat about their sexual conquests, or for J, to brainstorm ways to retrieve his missing "Pants."

We realize, however, that to the untrained eye, a bodega could easily be mistaken for a proper grocery store or, say, a place where you might actually want to buy deli meat, so for those of you unfamiliar with city brick-and-mortars, we've broken it down in a picture-heavy guide. Here are the five things that will help you determine whether or not you're ever at a bodega.

Plastic Hanging Things In Front Of The Bevvies
Used to lock in the cool temps, these murky blinds look better fitted for a car wash than a grocer, but they do the job. Sorta.

Credit Card Minimum Signage
Don't think about putting the two-dollar Chobani on your Visa--the credit card minimum is clearly stated among the 10 signs Scotch-taped behind the cashier. The minimum goes up about 5 bucks if you try to pay for your yogurt with an AmEx.

Extensive Sock Offerings
You might've thought you went in to pick up a new lightbulb and pack of batteries, but what you didn't realize was how much you could totally use a pair of highlighter-inspired socks. Don't look for them in the "accessories" aisle either; they'll most likely be next to the Trail Mix.

5 People Speidi Owe A Gift Basket And A Hug

Posted 2/6/12 2:53 pm ET by Matthew Scott Donnelly in The Hills, Top TV Shows

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag seem to have turned over a new leaf since they last appeared on "The Hills." The formerly combustible duo made a habit of leaving sore and sobbing victims (and one particularly unlucky weatherman) in their wake, and squeezing an apology out of either was generally unheard of. But we saw a glimpse of amends-making in Speidi last week when both reached out to Lauren Conrad via Twitter to wish her a happy birthday--Spencer even apologized to LC for his past crimes.

Since the married couple are becoming more and more benevolent--or so it seems--we decided to string together a list of those who were previously wronged by them, and some ways in which they can try to make things right. From a bartender scorned to a family member abandoned, here are those still in need of Speidi's mea culpas.

Stacie The Bartender: The bride-to-be drew the ire of Mrs. Pratt when she got chummy with Spencer during a shift at The Dime. Heidi, who refused to believe her husband was at all responsible for the back-and-forth flirting, referred to the shot-pourer as "rude," "a homewrecker" and "a slut." We suggest a round of drinks on Heids as a means to kiss and make up, as well as the most extravagant melon-baller a bridal registry could call for.

A Brand-New Tattoo For Every 'Shore'-goer

Posted 2/2/12 4:13 pm ET by Kelli B. Bender in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

"Operation Get Vinny Back" was a success! Our favorite pale guido returned to "Jersey Shore" on Episode 4, and he brought with him a permanent marker of the time he peaced out of Seaside. In addition to taking a week at home to rest up and clear his head, Vin also got some new ink. "Let Go, Let God" now graces our sensitive guy's chest--a prime piece of real estate, we might add.

His housemates were pretty interested in getting a look at the tat, and did we perhaps even sense some jealousy? Body art is pretty contagious, after all. On the chance that the rest of the crew is now itching to etch something FTD on their skin, we put our heads together and came up with a few suggestions. Check 'em out below, plus head to MTV Clutch for oodles more tattoo coverage.

Deena: The knuckles are a fantastic place to put your life philosophy on display. Some choose the words "Thug Life" or "Love/Hate"; Deena's should obviously read "Merp Merp."

Pauly: He just got his man back, so we suggest showing him how much he cares by getting a tat of Vinny's face on his back, Steve-O-style. This way he's always there when a wingman is needed.

5 Birthday Gifts For 'The Situation' (That Don't Require A Stripper)

Posted 2/2/12 10:00 am ET by Kelli B. Bender in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

After Sitch rode solo to Pauly's B-Day dinner two weeks ago, we were worried that Mike's special day was going to be one ugly grundle chode of disappointment. Thankfully, that wasn't the case, and even though he went MIA for few hours to wallow in the birthday blues, his "Jersey Shore" roommates delivered when they surprised him with a Wizard of Ass-approved bash.

Still, looking back on everything, we think there are a few gifts that could've made Mike's birthday even better (not that taking home a stripper isn't a cool present and all). Here are some items that might have lit up the aging guido's face.

Indestructible Dumbbells: For a dude that is always working on his fitness, it's important to have the right tools on hand. Sometimes he can't get to the gym (like when the gang's getting wasted at Jenks), so having a set of weights in his bedroom means he can start GTLing before he even brushes his teeth. (That "indestructible" part is just in case Ronnie throws his s*** out onto the patio.)

Bronzer Wipes: The last thing any Shore girl wants is a pale juicehead. Pasty skin is not the business, and these wipes will ensure that if Sitch ever ventures back to Italy (you know, the country without adequate tanning beds), he'll be prepared.

Do Rookies Have A Shot At Winning 'Exes'?

Posted 2/1/12 3:03 pm ET by Kirthana Ramisetti in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

During the first episode of "Battle of the Exes," newbies Nate and Priscilla were unfortunately destroyed by vets Wes and Mandi. But just because the "Real World San Diego" roomies bounced so early doesn't mean we should bank on an early exit for the remaining newbies. Everyone's capable of victory, and here's why we think "Real World Las Vegas" alums Dustin, Heather and Naomi could surprise everyone and go far in the competition.

Dustin and Heather
Even though they're new at this, Team Duster have a lot going for them. For one, they're no longer exes! We learned in their preseason interview that they overcame the trust issues that broke them up on "Real World: Las Vegas," so they won't have to deal with the tension that other teams do. Plus, Heather and Dustin impressed everyone by beating vets Paula and Dunbar during the sticky Honey Challenge last week.

The Dos And Don'ts Of Interacting With An 'Ex'

Posted 1/30/12 1:32 pm ET by Rebecca Brown in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

We absolutely cringe at the thought of running into a former lovah, so we can't even imagine what the "Challenge" cast must be going through on "Battle of the Exes." Being forced to interact with someone with whom you shared personal facts--not to mention shower time--is a delicate doing, which is why we've always believed in steering clear of the whole thing altogether. But, if you're ever put in a situation that makes socializing with your ex unavoidable, here are some tips we recommend following, based primarily on big mistakes the cast has already made.

Don't Makes Moves If They're Already Taken
This one's a bit tricky, but chances are, if your ex-flame is seeing someone, they're probably over you. The caveat to this truth, of course, is the off chance that they're only hooking up with a fresh fish to make you jeals. Either way, you should proceed with caution and do the exact opposite of what Wes has been doing with his teammate Mandi.
Example:

Talking S*** Will Turn Out S***ty
If you can't stand the sight of your ex, well, you're not alone. Disliking the old beau is tres normal, but that doesn't mean you need to make that public information. Let's take Jasmine for instance. Her telling Naomi that Tyrie was still totally into her (which isn't really that apparent) was a very, very bad idea, and we can't wait to see how it unfolds in Episode 2.
Example:

Don't Run From Your Issues
When your mom told you that you couldn't have the lollipop you wanted for dinner, yeah, you probably stormed off into your bedroom like the age-appropriate brat you were, but if your former fling wants to sit down with you and--oh, we don't know--DTR, don't bolt off if he or she says something you don't like. Basically, don't do what Abram did.

6 Former Celeb Couples We'd Cast For 'Battle Of The Exes'

Posted 1/24/12 2:57 pm ET by Kirthana Ramisetti in The Challenge, Top TV Shows

With "Battle of the Exes" premiering Wednesday, we couldn't help but think about other former celebrity couples who might benefit from being teamed up together. Perhaps by spending time in close quarters, they could finally work through the bad mojo that split them up in the first place and rekindle the happier times. Or even better, entertain us with the nonstop drama that would surely come from being forced to live together. Here, six ex supercouples we think should appear on the show.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries
These two only managed to stay married for 72 days, so how long would they last as teammates? (We think 72 minutes.) As for how they would fare in the competition, Kris is a big dude--not to mention a pro-baller--so he would have a definite height advantage over the other guys, but Kim's diva attitude would probably get them sent to the The Dome right away.

Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne
As we reported earlier this month, the former "Hills" hunk and his pop star girlfriend went splitskies. Since their friends have said a reconciliation is possible, competing on "The Challenge" could be just what they need to bring them back together. In our dreams, the duo would square off in The Dome against Brody's other famous ex, Lauren Conrad, and her former flame Jason Wahler. Imagine the drama!
