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!

Guy Shames His Roommate On Reddit For Being An Idiot

by 22 mins ago

Sometimes the only way to get someone to stop acting like a fool is to show him a some tough love. Reddit user Lewgold’s roommate may be sleeping like a peaceful baby in the photo, but he woke up as the butt-end of a huge online joke. He is today’s poster child for online roommate shaming, something that should happen way more often. Not only will it wipe that drunken smile off of your roommate’s stupid face, but it gives the rest of us something to laugh at while at work. Let’s make roommate shaming more of a thing!

LiL Wayne And Drake Will Literally Battle Each Other On Tour

by 9 mins ago

(Lil Wayne on his upcoming tour with Drake)

We’re ready for the showdown. The Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour kicks off in on August 8 and although the YMCMB team hasn’t finalized production for the jaunt just yet, we do know that there will be a battle royale on stage.

Lil Wayne
told MTV News that his manager Cortez Bryant actually came up with the idea for Drake vs. Lil Wayne, and he definitely plans to have some fun with it.

“Since, thank god we’ve been so successful, [we'll just be] going back and forth with our hits and getting the crowd to go crazy, then just finally hit the stage together,” Weezy told MTV News on his “Krazy” video set. “It’s a battle type thing.”

And who does Wayne think is favored to win this battle? “I give the good guy the edge,” he joked.

Tune also confirmed that we can expect more Drake features on Tha Carter V (in addition to “Believe Me”) and, of course, an appearance by Nicki Minaj. Don’t just ask when the album will actually drop, because Wayne has no idea.

We were wondering if that Jay Z shout out on “D’Usse” meant a Hov feature might be coming too — and he didn’t rule it out.

Colbie Caillat Basically Un-Photoshops Herself In ‘Try’ Music Video

by 14 mins ago

Colbie Caillat is back with a super-empowering ballad and an equally inspiring video to go with it.

“Put your makeup on/ Get your nails done/ Curl your hair/ Run the extra mile/ Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?” she sings as her and other air-brushed ladies flaunt their done-up hair and makeup.

At first, I was a little taken aback. Wasn’t this supposed to be about being your true self? Instead, what I saw was a cartoonized version of Mariah Carey in a Dove ad — smokey eyes, fluffy hair and a perfect complexion, all in front of a white backdrop.

But things started to take a turn for the optimistic around the 0:44 mark when we saw the women wiping off their makeup. Caillat takes part, too, removing her hair extensions, peeling off her fake eye lashes and revealing her natural look.

“You don’t have to try so hard/ You don’t have to, give it all away/ You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up/ You don’t have to change a single thing,” she sings in the chorus, ending the video looking smiley and seriously at the camera. “Don’t you like you? ‘Cause I like you.”

8 Reasons Owning A Cat Is Basically Like Dating A Hipster

by 35 mins ago

Dating a hipster is basically like owning a cat. This is a stone-cold fact that we can back up with years of personal experience, extensive research, close, analytical scrutiny and, of course, GIFs.

Allow us to make our case below. Might as well start fitting your kitty for a pair of tiny skinny jeans now.

1.) They Like You Better If You Ignore Them

When it comes to hipsters and cats, the rules of psychics (which you dimly remember from those classes that you dozed, drool-soaked, through) do not apply: For every action there is NOT an equal and opposite reaction. Nope, if you shower either species with too much affection, you will get in return… an empty room (and perhaps the small cloud of dust left behind when those paws or Vans go spinnin’).

The difference between the two, however, is that the hipster likely has all kinds of complicated issues for fleeing from your love. S/he blames his/her parents for depriving him/her of emotional support and love and feels incapable of returning the favor when it comes to a prospective paramour. S/he doesn’t actually like you that much but doesn’t like when you display evidence that you don’t like him/her that much. S/he is too busy collaging pictures of his/her aura with Tumblr fan art and selling weed to get back to you.

The cat, on the other hand, probably just wants food and you are the food dispenser and you are not currently dispensing food.

2.) They Prefer Vinyl

JWOWW Says Pregnancy Is ‘The Worst Thing Ever’

by 35 mins ago

Don’t count Jenni Farley among the handful of ladies who claim they loooove being pregnant. The “Snooki & JWOWW” star posted a new baby bump photo titled “My last week” on her website and captioned it: “…It better be!!! Can’t wait to meet my baby girl!!”

JWOWW-My-Last-Week

Safe to say that Jenni wishes she’d delivered her baby, like, yesterday. And that’s not all…

“[Pregnancy] is the worst thing ever,” JWOWW admitted during an interview on Nicole Polizzi‘s weekly podcast “Naturally Nicole.” “It’s terrible. Now that I’m at my last couple of weeks, can’t sleep. When you eat, you get heartburn. You can’t move. You’re out of breath. I can’t wait for my orangutang t—ies to go back to normal.”

Guess that epidural is sounding mighty good right now, huh, Jenni?


Pregnancy? Uh, no thanks.

Snooki couldn’t help but agree with her bestie. “It’s great because you’re making your love child, but the whole process is awful,” she said. “I never met anybody that enjoys pregnancy. All those pregnant women you see on the [magazine] covers, like, smiling [because] they’re so happy. That’s all staged. That’s not real.”

Jenni went on to chat about her upcoming horror flick, “Jersey Shore Massacre,” set for release this August. “It’s really close to our days on ‘Jersey Shore,’” she said. “It really makes me miss it. It makes me laugh because all our funny sayings and stuff is in it, like ‘grenade.’” Awww, memories!

‘Pretty Little Liars’ 100th Episode: Tyler Blackburn Teases Major Haleb Drama

by 49 mins ago

Today, July 8, is the day “Pretty Little Liars” fans have been waiting for for months. Not only is the show’s 100th episode, “Miss Me x 100,” finally here to add enough twists and turns to make A’s head spin, but Tyler Blackburn is officially back! That’s right — Caleb, Rosewood’s most sane and even-keeled boyfriend, will return from his brief stint in the neighboring town of Ravenswood to swoop Hanna (Ashley Benson) back off her feet and restore order in this chaotic universe.

Except not.

“He’s definitely different,” Blackburn told MTV News over the phone. “He’s changed. He’s a lot darker. He’s been through a lot in Ravenswood.”

So much, in fact, that some “demons” and “vices” will return on that damn bus with him — and of course, seeing that Hanna is with Travis now isn’t going to help.

“He comes back and sees that Hanna is with somebody else, and there’s so much that’s transpired since he’s been gone,” Blackburn continued. “I think he’s overwhelmed. He isolates, and has a lot of demons, and therefore a lot of vices are created in his isolation. You’ll find out what those are. He’s not just going to come back and be Hanna’s knight in shining armor.”

Blackburn then teased that a “small love triangle” will form between Hanna, Caleb, and Travis, but also said that Caleb will respect Hanna’s wishes (as he should). There is, however, one Liar who Caleb will not respect — the back-from-the-dead Alison.

“Caleb knows ...

Ciara And Future’s Baby: Still Adorable, Still Better Dressed Than You

by 1 min ago

Wow, it would be really embarrassing if a seven-week-old infant had better style than you, a fully (or at least mostly fully) grown human being. Good thing that’s not likely to happen, because — OH WAIT IT JUST DID.

Check out the latest photo of Ciara and Future’s baby that the “Body Party” singer shared on Instagram on Monday.

Ciara, FutureInstagram

In the picture, Future Zahir Wilburn is wearing a red and black Air Jordan onesie (prophetically emblazoned with the words “RISE ABOVE ALL”) while lying down on some kind of fluffy blanket with, wait… Does that blanket have bunny ears sewn onto it? THAT BLANKET HAS BUNNY EARS SEWN ONTO IT.

Get out of here, piglet eating ice cream — there’s a new cutest photo ever in town.

Last July, Ciara told MTV how obsessed with kids she is, saying: “I absolutely love kids. They are the sweetest creatures on earth… They’re just so fun and full of life.” This photo of lil bb Future is certainly giving me a whole lotta life right now, so I guess she was right.

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!

Crumbs Bake Shop Is Closing, So Let’s Weigh Our Cupcake Options

by 27 mins ago

And in cupcake-related travesties, Crumbs Bake Shop is closing up all of its stores. With locations in 12 states, the New York City-based company just wanted to spread peace, love, and diabetes-inducing, holiday-themed, ostrich egg-sized cupcakes across the country, but no more. This is why we can’t have nice things, America. This is why we can’t have nice things.

As a regular partaker in Crumbs cupcakes (shout-out to our monthly, cupcake-fueled birthday parties!), I feel very personally victimized by this loss. Who will I turn to next St. Patrick’s Day when all I crave is a double-fistful o’ green cupcake with an edible leprechaun hat? Where will I find a bakery that will serve me a cupcake topped with a full-size Cannoli and claim, in good conscience, that it’s still one dessert? Let’s survey the pros and cons of our remaining cupcake resources.

1.) Homemade cupcakes (if you are Ina Garten)

Pros: You are Ina Garten.

Cons: THERE ARE NO CONS.

2.) Homemade cupcakes (if you are not Ina Garten)

Pros: You don’t have to wear pants.

Cons: This is probably you in the kitchen.

3.) Georgetown Cupcakes

Pros: They’re so small that even those couple of stink-eyed, juice-cleansing husks of former coworkers in your office can’t judge you for eating one.

Cons: When you realize how many you’d have to eat in order to equal the frosting-slathered satisfaction of one Crumbs cupcake.

4.) Magnolia Bakery

Pros: There are approximately 7-million delicious units of butter ...
