ABDCrews Got Mad 'International Love' for Pitbull

Posted 14 mins ago by ABDC Insider in America's Best Dance Crew, Top TV Shows

Pitbull joined the "ABDC" crews onstage for Week 6, kicking off the show with a sizzling beach-themed opening number and unveiling the anticipated guest appearance of Season 6's Iconic Boyz! The chart-topper's platinum hit "International Love" inspired the episode's challenge, which tasked the top 5 teams with incorporating global dance moves into their routines, like Brazil's Capoeira and China's Guanyin (Dance of a Thousand Hands).

The house was abuzz with celebrity fans who couldn't get enough of the action--from buxom Playmates Ashley Hobbs, Hiromi Oshima and Jaclyn Swedberg, to the swarthy "Teen Wolf" leads Tyler Posey and Colton Haynes, and even towering teen star Zendaya (who surprised 8 Flavahz and RNG with a visit backstage, causing a cacophony of squeals).

Iconic Boyz Return To Rock The 'ABDC' Stage

Posted 1 hour ago by ABDC Insider in America's Best Dance Crew, Top TV Shows

Jersey's Iconic Boyz made an indelible mark on "ABDC" history last season, as they were the first all-kid crew to join the cutthroat competition. Though small, they proved they had much heart, nabbing the attention of millions of fans across the country and inspiring new young crews (like this year's superstars 8 Flavahz and Rated Next Generation) to follow their lead.

The Boyz, currently on tour with the NRG Dance Project, joined the top 5 crews on the ABDC stage this week to add extra pizzazz to the Pitbull-driven, beach party showstopper. After the performance, they chatted with Mario and the audience, then waged war in one of the show's fiercest dance battles ever--against their new friends in 8 Flavahz (pictured above).

The High Price Of Parenthood And Reality Of Child Support

Posted 2 hours ago by Rebecca Brown in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows

There's a lot to deal with once a baby is born, such as middle of the night feedings, dirty diapers and the constant crying. But one of the biggest struggles of being a teen parent is the literal price tag. Taking care of a child isn't cheap; it can easily cost more than $10,000 during the first year alone, and the expenses only grow from there.

Consider a couple like Sarah and Blake. Neither of them finished high school, and he was only working part time. Sarah's mom tried to help out financially as best she could, but then Blake took off for his new shrimp boat job down South, and left Sarah and Baby Tinleigh behind with no clear child support plan in place.

'Real World' Spy Cam: The Roomies' Superhero Alter-Egos Take Flight

Posted 2 hours ago by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Real World, Top TV Shows

"Real World: St. Thomas" is right in the midst of shooting, and little do the seven roommates know that Remote Control has been granted access--for the first time EVER--to two of the most private areas of the house: the confessional and webcam. Check the blog throughout the weeks leading up to the show's summer premiere for ongoing insider info and video snippets featuring the new season's cast!

Mike Mizanin proved "Real World" roommates are capable of dual personalities way back in the series' tenth season, but while "The Miz" definitely suffered through a few loose screws, he was ultimately still human. The new crop of St. Thomas roommates, on the other hand, are outright mutants, and the video footage we've collected below confirms it.

Steer clear of Kryptonite, wiggle into that Spandex suit and check out the latest from our Spy Cam. Up, up and...to the bar!

Dan Savage: Maybe Your Parents Met At A Sex Club! [Video]

Posted 3 hours ago by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Savage U, Top TV Shows

Think your parents first got together in sweet, innocent "Sleepless in Seattle" fashion? Not the case, say Dan and Lauren of "Savage U." In fact, it's more likely they totally went to town long before the DTR took place. (What, you don't like picturing Mom and Dad bumping uglies?)

The sex soothsayers swing an ax through the notion that any quality relationship should start in Prudeland in the below interview clip. They note that college students shouldn't be ashamed if an eventual exclusive commitment starts with a hookup, and that they'll be holding their breath for awhile if they expect to meet a sig other strictly by means of accidental tong-bump at the grocery store's salad line. Ain't happnin', kids! Just ain't happnin'...

Watch The World Premiere Of Pauly D's 'Night Of My Life' Music Video!

Posted 4 hours ago by Rebecca Brown in Jersey Shore, The Pauly D Project, Top TV Shows

At exactly 11:58 EST this morning, we logged onto Vevo.com and anxiously tapped our feet in anticipation of Pauly D's new music video for "Night Of My Life"--the theme song to his hit MTV series, "The Pauly D Project"--which he announced would premiere on the site at noon. So, by the time you read this blog post, we will have already unplugged our headphones, cranked up the volume (sorry, coworkers trying to make important phone calls) and hit replay at least a dozen times--that's the sort of love we have for G-Unit's leading maestro.

But enough from us. Check out the high-energy video below, which features PD's Rhode Island crew, and tell us what you think of it. The only thing that could have possibly made our viewing experience more pleasurable is if we had a ~~little~~ glass of Remix to pound along with it. (Accepting donations NOW!)

How To Know If You're Ready For Sex

Posted 4 hours ago by Editor in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows

Sabrina's story, like many of the other stories on "16 and Pregnant," touched on an important question: Why didn't she know the consequences of having unprotected sex?

As with lots of other teens, Sabrina took her school's sex-ed class. Both her parents and the program told her that she wasn't ready to have sex, but they didn't explain why. Needless to say, Sabrina still thought she could handle it; only in hindsight did she feel differently.

So how do you know if you're truly ready? There's no one moment or specific sign, but it's never right to do it because someone else wants to, or if you feel pressured by your friends or think you're the only one who hasn't had it yet. (In reality, more than half of high school-aged teens are virgins.) Sex should be a decision made between you and your partner after you've talked about your feelings, considered the consequences and worked out how to protect yourselves from pregnancy.

Vinny Gets A Personal Lesson From His Spiritual Hero, Deepak Chopra [Video]

Posted 5 hours ago by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Jersey Shore, Top TV Shows

Vinny poses with his book, "Control The Crazy," at a recent signing in Hollywood.

For a young guy, the merits of celebrity might include free-flowing top shelf liquor, nights out with his favorite pro athletes and an omnipresent gaggle of girls. One-on-one guidance from his soul's hero, though? Not always a guarantee. As a nervous Vinny Guadagnino of "Jersey Shore" points out in his YouTube interview below, "I can go party with rappers every night, but not really...spiritual gurus."

The thinking-man's guido opens himself up to "Mind-body healing pioneer" Deepak Chopra on a New York City rooftop, and after Chopra shares some basic tips on achieving true calmness--sitting up straight, keeping legs uncrossed and leaving open hands faced upward--the two launch into a full-blown de-stressing exercise. The "Control The Crazy" author is advised by the new-age guru to always maintain a sense of "peace, harmony, laughter and love," and eventually, the mantra will be hardwired into his brain and lower even the most out-of-whack heart rate. Dare we ask if it would function in the face of killer sharks...?

'Savage U' Poll: Is It Ever OK To Date A Friend's Ex?

Posted 15 hours ago by Matthew Scott Donnelly in Savage U, Top TV Shows

With respect to dating a friend's ex, most of us are generally taught it's a cut-and-dry "ABSO-F***ING-LUTELY NOT!" And, generally speaking, sex sensei Dan Savage advises against it as well. But when the contentious topic was applied to life at Rhodes College, a gated liberal arts school with a tiny student population, the "Savage U" conductor and some inquisitive sorority sisters agreed that it's simply unavoidable when you're surrounded by more trees than people.

The sophomore, junior and senior students that spoke with Dan on the quad shared horror stories of the trouble caused by dating, dancing with or even talking to guys that had previously gone out with a friend or just an acquaintance. Students at big schools have the luxury of space and new faces with which to heal post-breakup, they said, while they, themselves, face the constant risk of approaching someone who's already been marked, or even running into their own exes' new pursuits while at the same old party. Both, the sisters lamented, were nearly impossible to avoid.

Sabrina And Her Mom Share An Emotional Homecoming [Bonus Scene]

Posted 16 hours ago by Rebecca Brown in 16 and Pregnant, Top TV Shows

Tonight's episode of "16 and Pregnant" picked up just as 17-year-old Sabrina left her hometown of Los Angeles to join her estranged mother, Amanda, in Tennessee. Her plan to live with her mom didn't quite pan out when she got there, however, as Amanda already had three other children and simply didn't have the room to take in Sabrina and her sister, who ended up moving in with their grandparents instead. The transition was tough for the expecting teen, but at least she and her mom were in the same state.

In this touching bonus scene, Amanda and Sabrina share a good cry when they discuss the years they spent on separate coasts. Amanda admits that she wasn't capable of being a good parent because of her drug habit and feels awful that she missed so much of her daughter's life. And Sabrina's particularly emotional because the whole reason she left her dad and baby's father behind in California was to be with her mother--now that's not even happening.
