For weeks now, Spencer Pratt's been calmly (and, at times, not-so-calmly) telling his wife he's a trillion years away from wanting kids. And after seeing his first solid interaction with a prepubescent, we're starting to understand why he'd rather go without sex than risk conceiving Spencer Jr. Not only did dude show zero interest in the neighbor's adorable little tyke, but he actually threw the kid out mid-Wii sesh and told him to wave "bye-bye" to Heidi "forever."

Needless to say, Spence's over-the-top antics left Heidi shaking her head -- and throwing out zingers like "[s]omething's wrong with you if you don't think he's cute." Well, maybe ... but in Spencer's defense, it's not like he's living in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood. This is the Hollywood Hills, yo!

+ Think Spencer was too hard on poor little Enzo (sp.?) tonight? Or did Heidi put him in a weird position by pushing him on the no-kids thing? Take the poll and tell us whether Spencer's just a normal twentysomething dude -- or the Grinch who stole Nintendo.

For the first time during this season of ABDC, the crews will join together to perform an opening number. On Sunday's VMA Challenge episode, the dancers will honor a legend sorely missed around the world by performing to a master mix of "Smooth Criminal." All week, everyone's been cranking extra hard to make sure they do Michael Jackson justice, so let's hope they give it the white glove treatment!

Last night's show taping was nothing short of entertaining! The audience was packed with ABDC alumni (video to come on Monday!) who were brought to their feet on more than one occasion. Here are some deets you can look forward to seeing on Sunday's airing.

- One crew pays homage to the late Michael Jackson by throwing into their routine an iconic "Thriller" move.
- An all-male crew wears some of the shortest shorts since Fanny Pak's gym challenge performance.
- Shane Sparks tells one crew that they are the "sexiest females to ever grace the stage!"
- A female dancer is tossed over 15 feet into the air! (Take that, Do-Knock!)
- And finally, a crew dressed as cops comes out with guns blazing!

Over the past three seasons, Dance Crew has celebrated Michael's, Janet's, Missy's and Britney's music -- and now we're finally ready for her jelly. Ring the alarm, y'all! It's time for Beyonce week! Similar to past artist-themed episodes, the crews have each been given a Beyonce song to perform to, plus Beyonce's issued out individual challenges based on each video's original choreography. Here's what you can be on the lookout for this week:

RHYTHM CITY "Sweet Dreams" - Must update "the Charleston," which is featured in the video.

WE ARE HEROES "Single Ladies" - Take the section of the video known as "the wind" and blow us away with their own version.

ARTISTRY IN MOTION "Diva" - Perform with chains incorporating the entire crew.

VOGUE EVOLUTION "Deja Vu" - Perform African-style dancing within their routine.

AFROBORIKE "Beautiful Liar" - Work exotic Shakira-like moves into the routine.

MASSIVE MONKEES "Work It Out" - Dance with hula hoops without accidentally dropping them.

SOUTHERN MOVEMENT "Jumpin' Jumpin'" - Bust out all the moves from the video with new creativity.

BEAT YA FEET KINGS "Crazy In Love" - 'Booty Pop' with never-before-seen flare.

If Michael Jackson's memorial brought tears to your eyes yesterday, you certainly weren't alone. Emotions ran high throughout the ceremony (even Mariah Carey was choking back sobs!), and tons of celebs took to their Twitters to commemorate the passing of one of music's greatest superstars.

Needless to say, Michael's fellow artists were among those hit hardest by his passing. Among those grieving in the pop community? Danity Kane's Dawn Richard and Aubrey O'Day, and Day26's Willie Taylor (borrowing a few words from Tyrese Gibson). After the jump, read their final farewells and feel free to add your own in the comments!

Good news: Since the taping of Run's House: Episode 4, Diggy's blog has grown from 250 followers to 1,133! And we're thinking he's about to get even more online readers after everyone sees tonight's show.

Aside from lotsa fashion, music and design shout outs, you'll be pleased to hear that the self-proclaimed jet-setter's got some super deep thoughts -- among Dig's many musings is a thoughtful entry about Michael Jackson's unexpected death. (Guess The Rev's inspired sermons have rubbed off on the kid!) So g'ahead, check out digslifeofthejetsetter.blogspot.com ... the softer side of Diggy Simmons awaits.

All week long Remote Control will be posting reactions to Michael Jackson's death from select ABDCrews. Check out Rino from Beat Freaks's stunned response below...

I'm still in denial about what happened to Michael. I don't even know how to begin expressing my thoughts since he's been the biggest inspiration to me, ever. He really influenced who I am today. All I can do is pray for his soul and his family, friends and all the Michael fans that have been effected by this news.

On Thursday afternoon, Maryss and I were teaching class and playing Michael's songs as our warm up because there was a slight chance of us going to check out his rehearsal later that night. After our class, the rest of Beat Freaks gave us the news.

We couldn't believe it, didn't feel it. I thought it was another bad rumor, yet all my friends kept texting and calling me about the news. We had to do something, so we went to his parents' house to show some love, respect and support. When I got home, the media was forcing me to face the fact that he was gone. I couldn't sleep. I just kept watching Michael's videos on MTV. I was very emotional and kept thinking about how he's been there all my life.

We here at MTV are extremely saddened by Michael Jackson's untimely death, and in tribute to the King of Pop, the network has been running his videos non-stop. We've also been reaching out to celebrities who knew (and practically worshiped) MJ.

But what about the regular Joes -- the fans like you and us -- who have also been extremely affected by his passing? How will we celebrate his life and remember his legacy? We couldn't think of anyone better to answer that question than some of the members of America's Best Dance Crews from seasons past. First up: Supreme Soul's Bionic.

"Michael's effect [on the music industry] has been historical. He is a pop icon and paved the way for many pop artists. If it wasn't for Michael, dance, pop music and performance would be so much less extraordinary.

Michael gave a new feeling to performance and dance. He chose the best dancers to represent alongside him. I remember as a kid wanting to be one of those dancers. My teachers (The ELECTRIC BOOGALOOS) were his teachers, and it's an honor to say I got the same popping training that he did. All I ever wanted to do is be a great performer like him.

Michael made his performances EPIC. He would outdo anyone on the performance tip. His music was high energy and expressed pure emotion. When you danced, you felt what he was singing about.

I remember hearing "Beat It" for the first time ... That was the song. Watching all the poppers in it was crazy.

The reason why Michael was a POP ICON is because he hit the masses. He was on a GLOBAL SCALE. That's pure artistry... He transcended barriers."

Tuesday night brought buzzkill T.I. back to DetoxLand. I wish that guy would cut me some slack. He's so hypercritical! I get that he's trying to reform troubled youth's lives, but my life is far from troubled. Sure, I sleep with a Tiny Michael Jackson cardboard cutout and watch an insane amount of TV, but I'm fine!

From G's To Gents continues to roll along as well. Tonight's episode allowed me to tell America how Dirty got his nickname. We go way back. He was the Benjamin Button to my Taraji P. Henson!

So watch the latest Detox right now -- otherwise T.I.'s Uncle Quint is gonna stop by uninvited and talk about jail and stuff. And trust me, once Quint comes over, it's hard to get rid of him.
