Leah Calvert’s Daughter Gets A Lesson In Life: You Can Achieve Anything

by 24 mins ago

Girls can do anything they put their minds to! Seriously, have you seen this video? And if they don’t believe it, you best tell them otherwise.

Naturally, that’s the path Leah Calvert and her ex Corey took when their baby girl uttered three words that no kiddo should ever say: “I’m not strong.” In the “Teen Mom 2” sneak peek, below, Corey tells his baby mama that four-year-old Aliannah, who has a rare form of muscular dystrophy, made the less-than-uplifting comment just recently. Corey recounts that he tried buoying the little girl, telling her, “You are strong, and you can do whatever you want to do.” Leah agrees, saying it’s a parent’s job to lift their kids up.

Here’s hoping that was little more than a temporary setback for Ali, seeing as she and her twin sister Aleeah seem to be back at it, dreaming big! Leah recently tweeted about the girls’ very ambitious career goals: “When al grows up she wants to be a Doctor just like mommy wanted to be and aleeah wants to be a nurse! #nothingisimpossible.”

So true — nothing is impossible! Until then, the adorable twin tots will continue honing their cheerleading chops and mad singing skills! Can we request Ariana Grande‘s “Problem,” please?

Catch more Ali and Aleeah when “Teen Mom 2″ returns a week from today at 10/9c!

These Interns Basically Earn $81,000 A Year: What Are You Doing This Summer?

by 26 mins ago

Imagine making more money than your parents — before even finishing high school. For some tech-savvy kids that dream of financial independence is more than just some fevered reverie: it’s a reality.

According to Bloomberg, tech companies like Facebook and Twitter are scooping up teens for internships that sometimes pay more than your average parent’s salary. Twitter interns earn $6,791 per month — which is the equivalent of a yearly salary amounting to just over $81,000. Facebook shells out $6,213 per month ($74,556 per year) to college-going students and the top-earning interns, from software company Palantir Technologies, rake in $7,012 per month ($84,144 per year).

For comparison’s sake, a software engineer at Twitter makes around $121,556 per year, while a Facebook software engineer makes around $118,259, according to Glassdoor.

Granted, interns don’t usually work on a yearly basis, but given the fact that the median U.S. household yearly income between 2008 and 2012 was around $53,000, according to the United States Census Bureau, the amount of cash earned by those code-slinging teens is pretty striking. Also, there are tons of interns out there who will never see a dollar for their work, so it’s safe to say this crop of young people’s situation is special.

The teens chosen are, then, appropriately special as well — not simply copy-makers and coffee-slingers. For example, 17-year-old Michael Sayman, Bloomberg reports, was recruited by Facebook after creating a top-selling mobile word game. “He was the one paying for everything ...

Can You Tell Whether These Photos Are Lobsters Or Sunburns?

by 35 mins ago

“You look like a lobster!”

We’ve all said it to a friend after a long day at the beach — or, if our friend is a redhead, 15 minutes. But that’s just exaggeration, right? We’d never actually mistake a UV-overexposed human for a tasty crustacean?

Actually, it’s more difficult than you’d think, judging by these extreme photo zooms. Take a lucky guess for each, and maybe get some prescription eyeglasses before you accidentally boil your buddy alive for dinner. Haven’t they been through enough heat already?

Lobster or sunburn? Click on each photo to find out.

Meek Mill Put His Wale Beef Aside To Go Help Philly Fire Victims

by 36 mins ago

Meek Mill surprised everyone on Tuesday, when he suddenly lashed out at his labelmate Wale on Twitter, but after all of the drama he was out in his hometown, Philadelphia, trying to do something positive in the community.

The 27-year-old rapper visited the site of a fatal fire in Southwest Philly that claimed the lives of four children on Saturday. “I just wanted to come by and show my support to all of the families and everybody that was hurt by this situation,” he told NBC Philadelphia.

“I feel I’m in a position where I can help these people. Anything I can do to help them with their losses, I’m gonna do it,” he continued.

Meek visited the site just one day after protesters congregated in front of the city’s Engine 40 & Ladder 4 firehouse, accusing firefighters of a delayed response to the flames. The mayor has denied that there was any delay, but it hasn’t quelled the outraged.

Meek vowed to donate money to the families who suffered because of the fire.

‘Pretty Little Liars’ 100th Episode: Why The Emison Hookup Was The Real Bomb

by 45 mins ago

So, obviously a whole lot happened on the 100th episode of “Pretty Little Liars” last night (July 8). Uber-A returned after what was likely a very long nap, Ezria had sex (with a shirtless Lucy Hale!), Toby’s house blew up, Hanna got drunk, Caleb returned, and the entire universe found out that Shana was dead — and hey, one person actually even cared!

“Pretty Little Liars”: Watch 99 Lies From The First 99 Episodes!

But the main thing on every Liar’s mind the morning after “Miss Me x 100″ was the steamy, long-awaited, and yet somehow unexpected — and very well done — hookup between Emily and Alison. One of the best parts of the whole thing, besides the increasingly honest portrayal of an LGBT character with real thoughts and feelings on a family show (we’ll choose to ignore the fact that every gorgeous lesbian in Eastern Pennsylvania is a world-class swimmer, because come on) is how it should completely affect the power dynamics — within the Liar group — on the show moving forward. I was a bit disappointed when Alison first came back, because her lie to the police about being kidnapped (and the girls going along with it) made it seem as if everything was going to stay dishonestly status-quo in Liar-land, but man, did last night change that.

First, as much as I believe that Alison truly does love Emily, as Mona (brilliantly) said, “when people tell me who they are, I believe them.” Emily is beautiful ...

Christian Bale In ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’: Watch The Trailer Now

by 3 mins ago

After some stills from the film and a trio of posters, the first trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Exodus: Gods and Kings” is finally online. And it’s exactly what you’d expect from the “Gladiator” director tackling the story of Moses.

In “Exodus,” Bales plays the man who leads the Jews out of Egypt, and the first preview focuses on the rivalry between Moses and his adopted brother Ramses (an ancient Egypt-ified Joel Edgerton).

And not to be over spoiler-phobic, but isn’t the whole river of blood and wall of water thing a spoiler? Not cool.

“Exodus: Gods and Kings” opens in theaters December 12.

Writer/editor for MTV. If it involves cowboys, spies, or hitmen, I'm there. All three would be ideal.

Which Tumblr Fandom Will Reign Supreme In The mtvU Fandom Awards?

by 6 mins ago

Tumblrs, start your engines: the mtvU Fandom Awards are kicking off a competition specifically for you, to determine once and for all which fandom on everyone’s favorite microblogging platform is our BFF (that’s Best Fandom Forever, of course.)

Starting today, six fabulous fandoms have the opportunity to rise to the top and rule them all, starting on MTV’s own tumblr. We’ve created one unique post for each of the Best Fandom Forever nominees, with voting open through July 23. And because this is Tumblr, you know the drill: whoever has the most notes, wins. Which group of pop culture enthusiasts will emerge victorious as our BFF? Read on for a rundown of the nominees.

“Harry Potter”
Before we go any further, it should be noted that the power of the Harry Potter fandom is such that even now, years after the conclusion of both J.K. Rowling’s series and its movie adaptations, Potterheads still managed yesterday to basically break the internet. Best fandom ever? You’re damn right it is. This fandom eats Harry Potter. They sleep Harry Potter. They ARE Harry Potter! And when it comes to winning this competition, Harry Potter himself has nothing but confidence in his followers.

“The Lord of the Rings”

One does not simply walk into Mordor, and one does not simply like “The Lord of the Rings.” What makes this fandom the best? There’s the Gollum paparazzi art, for starters; and of course, ...

Kim Kardashian Takes Over The Jersey Shore: See The Pics

by 13 mins ago

Kim Kardashian took over Snooki’s old stomping grounds on Tuesday, having some fun in the sun at the Jersey Shore.

The reality TV star, along with her BFF Jonathan Cheban, went on a little road trip down the Garden State Parkway to the Casino Pier in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

Kim, wearing a black plunging top and skinny jeans, posted a pic of her and Jonathan as they went on the swing carousel ride. The two later rented a two-seater surrey to cruise around the boardwalk.

Kim also enjoyed some eats while enjoying her day out, indulging in boardwalk cuisine.

Mrs. Kanye West and her pal stayed into the night, as she changed into a form fitting navy dress. No word if they got their fist pump on, but they did make sure to hit up a T-shirt shop (hopefully the Shore Store!) to get some Jersey shore collectibles.

Christina Garibaldi has been an on-camera reporter for MTV News since 2011. When not interviewing or writing about her favorite stars, she keeps herself busy with baby animal videos and boy bands.

Why Does George R.R. Martin Want A ‘Game Of Thrones’ Movie So Badly?

by 34 mins ago

Maybe it’s time to take this “Game of Thrones” movie idea seriously after all.

George R.R. Martin, author of “A Song of Ice and Fire” and the mad man responsible for murdering all of your favorite characters, is very much on the record about his desire to see “Game of Thrones” live past its natural lifespan as an HBO series, and wrap up with a big-budget feature film. He’s said it before, and he just said it again, during an appearance at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival.

“If we go seven or eight seasons and then the show is still big enough that we can get the $200 million to finance a huge epic movie to end it … sure!” he said, according to Screen Daily. “But that doesn’t mean it has been approved. Some people like the idea. Other people don’t like the idea.”

Like the idea or loathe the idea, it’s worth spending some time thinking about why Martin is so on board with a “Game of Thrones” movie.

There’s one obvious explanation: Ending “Thrones” as a feature film buys Martin a little more time to wrap up the books before the live-action adaptation beats him to the punch. As it stands, “Thrones” could very easily catch or outpace Martin as soon as next season. If the author isn’t able to release the sixth book in the series, “The Winds of Winter,” in the next year or two, then “Thrones” will most assuredly be ahead ...

Tearful Brazilian Grandpa Seen Handing World Cup Trophy To German Fan

by 5 mins ago

Everyone’s heart broke when they saw the above image play out during yesterday’s soccer mauling. As the German team slaughtered the Brazilians, an elderly, mustachioed man clung to his replica World Cup trophy and wept. The scene kept me awake last night. Thankfully, when I clicked on Reddit this morning, I saw the follow up photo below. This guy has to be sports fan of the year! While it’s not verified, he reportedly said as he handed the trophy over: “Take it to the final! As you can see, it is not easy, but you deserve it, congratulations.”
