Whatever Dudes, Ashton Irwin Is My 5SOS Dream Date, And That’s That

by 3 mins ago

My esteemed colleagues at MTV News have been pretty busy opining — via that most journalistic of forms, the GIF — which member of 5 Seconds Of Summer they would like to escort to the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday. Passions have been running high, my friends. HIGH.

I have no qualms with their choices — none at all. I’m a way-chilled cucumber over here, dudes. Extoll the virtues of Calum, Luke and Michael all you like, my friends! Extoll away! That leaves more Ashton Irwin for me. Everyone knows that drummers are the hottest members of any given band — and, apparently, the smartest. Keep those guitar-slingers and whatnot for yourselves; he and I can play the Bo Diddley beat all night long — with our heartbeats.

I don’t need to tell you, oh, 5SOS Family, why Ashton would be the ideal man to walk me down the aisle — I mean, red carpet (wearing matching band Ts, of course). But it’s pretty fun to look at GIFs of him smiling so let’s do that for a while, shall we?

OK, here’s why Ashton Irwin would be the perfect 5SOS member to take me to the VMAs.

He plays the drums, which everyone knows means he’s way energetic and would be able to dance the night away — Taylor Swift-style

He likes Nirvana and so do I. We could totally sing the entirety of Bleach in the limo on the way ...

Attention, Kanye West! One Direction Wants To See You Take The Ice Bucket Challenge

by 12 mins ago

By now, who hasn’t done the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for charity? Harry Styles is latest to pour icy water over his head, which is covered in his shaggy, lion-mane hair.

“Wake up call. I nominate Irving Azoff, Kanye West and Susan Sarandon…. And Ben Winston. Donate too. Go?” Styles wrote with the Instagram video, including the link to the ALS website.

Harry isn’t the first 1D member to take the challenge; Liam Payne enlisted a group of girls to pour water on his head on Thursday.

‘Babe: Pig In Sin City’ Trailer: That’ll Do, Marv, That’ll Do

by 20 mins ago

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For” comes out today, widening the scope of the hard-boiled, mostly black and white world established in the first movie.

It’s a movie almost ten years in the making, which got us thinking about some other older movies that need a sequel. Combine that with the idea of an ensemble cast getting into trouble in a big, dangerous, stylized city, and the clear choice was the family classic “Babe: Pig in the City.”

But it wouldn’t be enough to just make a sequel to Babe’s misadventures. We wanted to know: what would it be like if Babe and his animal friends were transformed into the hard-boiled film noir characters of “Sin City.”

That question’s been answered, and you can watch for yourself the insane results when you mash up “Babe” with “Sin City,” and you get “Babe: Pig In Sin City,” a not-so-family friendly movie featuring Eva Green as a murderous pink poodle, Josh Brolin as the dog she betrayed, and, of course, Mickey Rourke as James Cromwell.

You have to see it to believe it.

Sex Swing Fanatic Evicted For ‘Sexual, Athletic and Squeaking Noises’

by 22 mins ago

Your apartment building’s quiet hours mean no crazy parties, no loud music, and…no sex swings? This is the dilemma for one German man, whose landlord evicted him for regularly using a squeaky old swing set as part of his late night sexual activities.

A court in Munich ruled to uphold the landlord’s decision today. The tenant’s lease required quiet hours between 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and his swing set antics repeatedly disturbed his neighbors with “sexual, athletic and squeaking noises” during this time period. The neighbors’ complaints then led to his eviction.

The legal problem wasn’t the sex swing’s existence in the home — it was more about what time the “very old” swing was being used. The court said the tenant’s disruptively loud use late into the night “would no longer correspond to normal rental use, and must therefore not be tolerated as socially acceptable.”

So swing set dude, wherever you are, we guess you can keep getting your squeak on — just not while everyone else around you is trying to get some shuteye.

Let The Cast And Creators Of ‘Intruders’ Introduce You To The Show

by 24 mins ago

We get the feeling a new show is going to intrude on your DVR sometime very soon. Tomorrow, in fact.

“Intruders,” a new offering from BBC America, premieres Saturday, and we get the feeling it’ll be just as addictive as the network’s other popular offerings. Mira Sorvino and John Simm Star in the thriller, which examines the idea of past lives and multiple lives simultaneously existing in one body. That’s not even to mention the quest for immortality that some of the characters embark upon.

Uh, what? It’s a tricky concept! There’s no one better to explain the show’s premise than its stars and creators, so while MTV News was at San Diego Comic-Con, we did just that.

As star Sorvino told us, “it’s really cool.”

Check out the clip above.

“Intruders” premieres Saturday on BBC America at 10 p.m.

Watch 5SOS Try To Hit On Girls With The Worst Pickup Lines (And Totally Bomb)

by 28 mins ago

5 Seconds of Summer may look adorable and charming on the outside, but they may need help with their mackin’ skills. Their go-to pickup line? It’s something about a polar bear… and not the cuddly kind.

“How much does a polar bear weigh?” Luke Hemmings told MTV when we asked for his corniest move. That’s it.

If that line doesn’t make sense to you now, check out the video below for it to all make sense.

Will 5SOS be using that joke at the 2014 VMAs after they perform? There’s no way to tell, but I do know that Calum is already taken.

Watch 5SOS use their worst pickup lines and do their sit-down chair dance.

Lena Dunham Is Terrible At Riding A Bike In This ‘Girls’ Season 4 Tease

by 9 mins ago

We’ve never been so excited to see someone eat sh** on a bicycle.

HBO today posted a teaser video taunting us with the fact that “Girls,” the show that your mom totally thinks is about your life and it really isn’t except when it kind of is, is in production for its fourth season.

Lena Dunham, our best friend star and creator of the show, pops out of a cute house that we maybe think could be in Iowa (remember the acceptance letter that ended season three?) and onto an equally cute bike, before promptly tipping over. Because, like, duh. At least she was wearing an adorable pink helmet.

The video doesn’t drop a premiere date for season four yet (cry, cry, cry), only the vague “2015,” but it did share the url for a nifty production diary tumblr comprised of instragrams and tweets from the set of the show.

We can’t wait. And, Lena, if you need someone to help you figure out that whole bike sitch, you know who to call.

How To Talk To Your Mom About Her Creepy ‘Fifty Shades’ Obsession

by 5 mins ago

Most of us have the sex talk with our mothers as teenagers. We think it’ll never have to happen again. And then we find EL James’s “Fifty Shades Of Grey” next to Mom’s pillow. Recently, my mother and I had our second big talk when she was in town for a visit. I’m in my 20s now, but I felt just as uncomfortable as I did a decade ago.

“What is this?” I asked, expecting her to claim that she was holding it for a friend.

She wasn’t, though, and if I had to guess, your mom isn’t holding it for a friend either. With the book’s mainstream success and an upcoming feature film, we have to accept that our moms don’t just know what BDSM is — they actually kind of like the idea. It’s hard to deal with and even harder to discuss, but you can get through this with a few familiar talking points.

“The Most Important Thing Is To Be Safe”

Mom led with this topic during your first sex talk. Similarly, attempt to scare her away from the subject at hand. Google a few dangerous sex bloopers. When you’re too disgusted to relay specifics, just warn her that trying what she sees in “Fifty Shades” can land her in the ER.

by 11 mins ago

Maci Bookout‘s son Bentley has been celebrating a series of firsts lately, including a grand slam and starting kindergarten. And now, the cute five-year-old is due a very special treat — under his pillow from the tooth fairy.

bentleytoothMaci Bookout's Instagram

“Benny lost his first tooth at school today! FINALLY! #bigkid,” his proud mama posted on Instagram, along with a snapshot of her kiddo showing off his dental situation — down one pearly white. Pretty soon, his piggy bank will runneth over — better get ready, Maci!

Bentley isn’t the only “Teen Mom” child saying farewell to his former grin: Amber Portwood‘s mini-me Leah recently flashed her new toothless smile and resembled an adorable Jack-o’-lantern.
