Last time we caught up with Beavis and Butt-Head, they planned to get girls by stuffing themselves with fast food à la the documentary "Super Size Me." It turned out, however, that chicks weren't attracted to the Hamburgler's greasy pores (big surprise). Even though the overeating thing proved to be a bust, we came up with five other documentaries the buddies may want to model their lives after. Because ya never know what's gonna impress the ladies.
1. "My Date With Drew":
If unemployed Brian Herzlinger was able to get the attention of the one and only Drew Barrymore, he surely has some useful tricks up his sleeve that Beavis and Butt-Head could benefit from hearing.
2. "An Inconvenient Truth":
Wouldn't it be amazing to the see the boys take on something proactive, like raising awareness about a major climate issue? Beavis' love for fire is sure to make folks (see: hippie chicks) take notice of global warming concerns.
3. "Spellbound
Hey, if we already got B+B on a learning kick, they might as well be schooled on the proper use of the English language, right? Chicks--bloggers, in particular--tend to love a guy whose booty texts don't have typos.
4. "Man on Wire":
Wonder if our favorite pair could take couch surfing to the extreme and balance their sofa and TV on a high wire? They probably don't make extension cords long enough, otherwise this would rule, but we do know for certain that ladies love a daredevil (see: Johnny Knoxville).
5. "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters":
OK, time to give Beavis and Butt-Head a break and throw them something they're naturally good at--playing video games. But is the gadget-loving duo better than the King Kong champ? Heh Heh, totally.

Flash back to fall of 2009, right before Season 1 of "Jersey Shore" was about to premiere to a mass audience. We here at Remote Control took a hard look -- and laugh -- at the first episode, and sincerely wondered whether the MTV audience could/would fall in love with a cast of East Coast unknowns sporting ... how to describe? ... 'unconventional' style and larger-than-life personalities. After years at this post, the one consistent fan base we've seen has been that of "The Hills," a series abundant in Cali surfer girls with blonde extensions sipping on red wine in their million-dollar condos. The "Jersey Shore" cast was a new breed of reality star, that of which was brunette, blue-collared and capable of eating bitches like Kristin Cavallari for breakfast. But to our delight, the show aired, the people spoke ... and they were impressed!
The story of the underdog becoming the toast of the town is one that never gets old, and the new Sony Pictures flick "The Other Guys" is based on that very same theme. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are the dudes on the police force who don't get recognition, until one day they take the opportunity to step up and channel their inner Bruce Willis. Well, sort of. It's a Cinderella story right out of the "Jersey Shore" playbook, and it's out August 6 for your viewing pleasure. Check out the movie's official site for more info and prepare to be inspired.

When last we saw Ryan Sheckler, he was looking extremely cute (and well-vested!) on the red carpet at Sunday night's VMAs. Now, we hear the Life of Ryan star will be taking that handsome mug of his and putting it right where it belongs: on the big screen.
That's right, folks -- in the not-so-distant future, Sheckler will be co-starring with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Ashley Judd and Mary Poppins herself (i.e. Julie Andrews) in 20th Century Fox's upcoming new flick, The Tooth Fairy.
And despite the film's Mary-Kate-Olsen-thin premise (The Rock is forced to wear a pink dress/tights for exhibiting unsportsmanlike behavior!) we're looking forward to seeing Sheckler hone his acting chops.
Hey, the way we see it? If a pro-wrestler can convince the world he's an action-movie star, and a former action-movie star is currently the Governator of California, it's only a matter of time before our fave pro-skateboarder is thanking the Academy.
