Jenni ‘JWOWW’ Farley And Roger Mathews Welcome Baby Girl

by 14 mins ago

At long last, Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews welcomed their baby girl on Sunday, July 13 at 12:49p.

“Jenni and Roger are so excited to welcome the newest guidette Meilani Alexandra Mathews to the world weighing 7 lbs., 13 oz.,” the “Snooki & JWOWW” star’s rep told MTV News. “Meilani and her parents are doing great and are happy and healthy. Meilani is already looking to trade her baby bottle for barbells.”

Indeed, the wee one was already working on her fitness in utero.

MTV, meanwhile, also feted the happy news, saying in a statement: “We’re fist pumping in celebration of Jenni “JWOWW” Farley and Roger Mathews’ new baby girl Meilani Alexandra Mathews. We’re so excited for the new parents and to welcome the newest member to the MTV family.”

The longtime couple announced that their family was growing last Christmas — and quickly received an outpouring of fan support as well as baby love from JWOWW’s former “Jersey Shore” cast members. Soon after, the duo revealed that they would be seeing pink in the not-so-distant future.

But the “Jersey” girl’s first trimester wasn’t smooth sailing — she even declared that pregnancy was “the worst thing ever.” Lucky for her, she had her “phenomenal” fiance for support — along with her BFF and pregnancy partner-in-crime Nicole Polizzi.

“She’s always been by my side, and then to find out that she’s pregnant, this made me feel a thousand times better, ’cause I get to experience ...

‘Catfish’ Poll: Should Bianca Let Tia Into Her Life?

by 26 mins ago

Sometimes the dishonesty of a “Catfish,” no matter how remorseful they are for their actions, can be too much for the person they deceived. And, on tonight’s episode, that was the case for Bianca.

The North Carolina native contacted Nev and Max because she wanted to uncover the truth about her crush Brogan, a girl she met on Facebook. The two had instantly connected, discovering that they shared similar passions including musical tastes and a love for body modification. But they never saw each other in person: Bianca resisted video-chatting because she found it awkward and kept their communications limited to the telephone.

Eventually, though, Bianca was ready to take the next step. But Brogan wasn’t — she disappeared, leaving Bianca to struggle over the failed relationship. A year later, however, Brogan was back, and Bianca was determined to unearth her real identity.

Nev and Max, who were aided by their “supermodel intern” Selita Ebanks, quickly discovered that Bianca wasn’t speaking to the girl in the pictures Brogan had sent. In fact, Bianca was communicating with a young Iowa woman named Tia.

Accompanied by the cyber sleuths, Bianca met her catfish. Tia’s explanation for the sham: She was afraid to be herself and face possible rejection, but swore that her feelings for Bianca were real. She was hiding a second secret: During her freshman year of high school, she said, she was the victim of sexual assault. Soon after, she became depressed and gained weight, eventually ballooning to 300 ...

‘Catfish’ Sleuth Nev Parties Like A Rock Star — And Has The Scars To Prove It

by 7 mins ago

As they’ve traveled the country in search of online imposters, “Catfish” detectives Nev and Max have collected more than a few memories. One, in particular, is especially indelible for Nev because he has a permanent reminder of it.

“I don’t think we should go into all the details,” he says of one crazy evening after the duo had just finished filming Season 2 in Pensacola, Florida. “Let’s just say that I got this scar, [and] in the same night, Max and I got kicked out of our hotel.”

He also describes the evening as “rock star” and “epic” — despite the fact that they had to pack their belongings in just five minutes and high-tail it out of town at 4 a.m.

Max, meanwhile, insists that he and his partner aren’t “troublemakers,” but that their wild night came at “the end of a very, very long season, and we definitely let off some steam.”

So how exactly did Nev wind up his wound? Watch the clip below, and be sure to tune in to the Season 3 finale at 10/9c!

MisterWives’ ‘Vagabond’ Is The ‘Finding Carter’ Theme Song

by 21 mins ago

Before all of the twists and turns unfold on “Finding Carter,” MisterWives will set the musical tone with their tune “Vagabond.” And if you can’t wait until the show’s premiere episode to hear it, here’s a snippet:

In anticipation of the series’ debut, vocalist Mandy Lee, drummer Etienne Bowler and bassist Will Hehir were on hand this afternoon at an MTV and Pinkberry event in Times Square. There, they greeted fans, handed out CD singles and cooled off with some refreshing treats.

From Catwalks To ‘Catfish’: A Certain Supermodel Is Joining Forces With Nev And Max

by 20 mins ago

Nev and Max had a little help finding this week’s “Catfish” – from someone usually found on a catwalk.

“We had a special kind of ride-along co-host for an episode,” Nev tells MTV News in the video below, before Max chimes in and refers to the guest as an “an intern.”

“We had a supermodel intern, which was pretty fun,” Nev clarifies.

The lovely lady in question assisted the Internet sleuths with the case of Bianca, whose affairs of the heart highlight the show’s Season 3 finale. And, according to the duo, they’ve saved the best for last.

“Bianca is just sort of this incredible, amazing person who’s been through one of the more difficult, complicated and sort of hardest childhood/young adult lives,” Nev says. “What an inspiration and what an amazing young lady she is.”

“A lot of adversity growing up,” Max adds. “Being black, female, gay and out, from a very young age.”

So who’s the supermodel who helps Bianca find her catfish? Watch the clip to find out — and be sure to tune in to the Season 3 finale of “Catfish” on Wednesday at 10/9c!

Cynthia Watros Has A Basic Instinct…And She’s Using It For ‘Finding Carter’

by 21 mins ago

Cynthia Watros has quite a bit in common with her “Finding Carter” character, police officer Elizabeth Wilson — for starters, they’re both moms of twins. And it’s such similarities, the actress says, that are helping her channel her on-screen persona.

“Having to play a parent is sort of easy because all those natural instincts just are in you now,” Cynthia tells MTV News in the clip below. “All the protective stuff — like, in real life, if one of my daughters was abducted, I would do exactly what Elizabeth is doing.”

As such, Cynthia understands her TV persona’s passion and anger — even though it’s earned her onscreen criticism from those who say she’s too harsh and rarely smiles.

“How do you smile when a huge piece of you is missing?” Cynthia asks.

Her small-screen daughter agrees. “She got a child abducted from her,” chimes in Kathryn Prescott, who plays Carter. “It’s like somebody died.”

Meanwhile, Cynthia says she also understands the character of Carter — and why the rebellious teenager isn’t ready to be around her birth mom.

“Because I’m not the mother she knew,” Cynthia says. “And she doesn’t view me as a mother, and that is very painful.”

To hear more from Cynthia about her relationship with her own kids, watch the full interview. And be sure to tune in to the “Finding Carter” premiere, tonight at 10/9c!

Did Brody Jenner And Lauren Conrad Date…Or Not?

by 38 mins ago

Former flames Lauren Conrad and Brody Jenner may have officially moved on — she’s engaged to William Tell and he’s getting serious with model Kaitlynn Carter — but the “Hills” alums’ short-lived romance is still a hot topic of conversation.

Case in point: The Cali stud’s list of exes — Kristin Cavallari, Nicole Richie, Avril Lavigne and Lauren — were mentioned on his July 3 podcast with Dr. Mike Dow. But Brody quickly interjected when Lauren’s name came up — and squashed all fans’ notions about their love story.

“That’s false. Lauren Conrad and I never dated,” the notorious ladies’ man said. “Lauren and I have always been just friends. We worked together on a show called ‘The Hills’ where we had to pretend like we were dating, but we never dated.”


But! But!

Meanwhile, fashion designer Lauren said in a 2012 interview with Allure magazine that the duo did date.

So what’s the truth? Let’s sit down and ponder it — but before we do, here’s a refresher course on the pair’s most memorable “Hills” moments:


Their first date.
How did the flirtatious dinner outing come to be? Lauren’s roomie Heidi Montag was getting close to Spencer Pratt. Brody was Spencer’s longtime friend — and the rest is history.


The magical kiss.
This sweet smooch played out just moments after Brody declared there was “nowhere else he’d rather be.” And we ate up every second of it.

Find Out Which ’16 And Pregnant’ Dads Stuck Around

by 47 mins ago

Statistics have shown that most teen fathers don’t say “I do” to the mother of their children and so far, that certainly rings true on this season of “16 and Pregnant.”

Out of the dozen duos, only DJ and Summer, and Tony and Karley, have wed. But despite not having walked down the aisle, several teen dads have stayed in a relationship with their baby mama. Here’s a look at the fathers who stuck around:

16andPregnan_NA_85180396_1481349


Derek
The young dad said on last night’s reunion special that he plans to pursue a career in psychical therapy to make a better — and more financially stable — future for his family. To that end, he and girlfriend Jordan have moved from Texas back to Maryland so he can go to college.

16andPregnan_NA_85180396_1481366


DJ
He tied the knot with Summer when she was 16, and it’s been a rocky road since. One reason: DJ slept with another girl. And while the couple has reconciled — they even shared a kiss on the reunion — Summer admits she isn’t over the betrayal.

16andPregnan_NA_85180396_1481407


Dustin
While he and girlfriend Autumn say that their relationship has improved, the longtime couple have frequently broken up and gotten back together. That may be because Dustin has cheated several times — even when Autumn was pregnant with Baby Drake. The young mom says she hasn’t forgiven her beau but is trying to look past his infidelities for the sake of their ...

’16 And Pregnant’ Reunion: Have Savannah’s, Millina’s And Summer’s Moms Kicked Their Addictions?

by 2 hours ago

Three teen moms struggled to cope with their mothers’ addictions on this season’s “16 and Pregnant.” Summer‘s mother Katrina abused painkillers and was facing the possibility of a two-year prison sentence for writing bad checks. Savannah’s alcoholic mother Melanie continued to drink even after the arrival of her grandson Rowan. And Millina‘s mother Raychelle was serving time behind bars for drug possession.

On tonight’s reunion special, the young women sat down with host Dr. Drew and gave updates on their mothers’ dilemmas. Read on to find out who’s kicked the habit — and who hasn’t:

16andPregnan_NA_85180396_1481363


Summer
Summer was supposed to be joined by her mom Katrina at the reunion, but the latter turned out to be a no-show.

“You cannot depend on her for anything,” a resigned Summer said. And while Katrina’s unpredictable behavior was certainly disappointing, her daughter has come to expect it.

“She’s done [pills] since I was nine,” Summer explained, adding that she’s wary of inheriting her mother’s addiction. “I wouldn’t even take pain pills, after my labor.”

As for Katrina’s legal woes, she wound up getting 10 years of probation.

16andPregnan_NA_85180396_1481322


Savannah
Shortly after her brief recap played, Savannah tearfully admitted that she felt “embarrassed” because her mother’s addiction had once been “easy to hide because it wasn’t public.”

Their issues were certainly less than private this season: Savannah famously confronted Melanie and then called police on her. She admits now that the incident was painful.

“For so long, it was me and my mom, ...
