‘Happyland’ Scandal Report: Heir To Park Throne Wrecks A Home!

by 17 mins ago

Happyland heir Ian Chandler stunned Tuesday Teen readers when he was caught kissing his half-sister Lucy Velez, but it looks like he’ll keep rocking the boat until it flips.

Though word on the street is that Harper Munroe accused her boyfriend Will Armstrong of having a wandering eye, it’s actually she who strayed from the relationship. According to sources, after sharing a handful of highballs with Chandler after a long day at work, Munroe made a move on the makeshift Prince Charming. Worst of all, she thrust her pal Velez — who saw the smooch with her own eyes, and who’s best friends with Armstrong — right between a rock and a hard place. Fairy dust isn’t the only potent love drug floating around Dazzle — vodka seems to do the trick just fine!

And with the threat of eviction still fresh on Velez’s mind, it’s safe to say the park’s newest Princess Adriana is living anything but a fairy tale.

If you happened to catch this Dazzle dalliance in action, contact Tuesday Teen!

Frankie Delgado Steps Out In Baby Bjorn, ‘Hills’ Fans Officially Feel Ancient

by 10 mins ago

The only thing Frankie Delgado nursed while on “The Hills” was a second drink at the bar, but now, after finding the girl of his dreams, getting married and having a baby, things have officially changed.

Frankie, who’s gone from party boy to Superdad since the show ended in 2010, can’t seem to stop gushing about his little girl Isabella on social media. And this week, he gave us evidence as to why — the child is just too cute. “My <3 melts!” the former playboy wrote alongside the photo below, in which little Isi balances on her pop. HAVE YOU STARTED COOING YET?!

And, when we caught a glimpse of Frankie sporting a Baby Bjorn last week at a Dodgers’ game, we completely lost it. “Isabella and I say #GoDodgers … Isi’s first baseball game” Frankie tweeted with a photo that finds him more fixated on his little girl than the pitch count or the score book. Like sand through the hourglass…

Check out a video of Frankie living the single life on the “Hills,” compare it to his fatherhood shots and tell us what you think of him adopting such a domestic life!

Is The Big ‘Faking It’ Secret Amy’s To Keep Or Liam’s To Share?

by 31 mins ago

On the Season 2 “Faking It” premiere, Liam insisted you’re only as sick as your secrets. And on tonight’s episode, he and Amy decided — at least temporarily — to remain unwell.

While Shane, Karma and Lauren were busy trying to earn a spot in Hester High School’s drama club, Amy — who’d gotten word that Liam was THISCLOSE to telling Karma that he’d slept with her best friend — pulled out all of the stops to keep Liam’s mouth shut. In her eyes, coming clean to Karma would only hurt her, and that was reason enough to keep the wool pulled over her eyes.

Still, Liam saw things differently. Besides the fact that the guilt of deceiving his crush was eating him alive, the lies that lined the walls of the Booker household were a constant reminder of how toxic deceit can be (his sister is…his mom?!). And when Amy saw for herself just what a tangled web Liam’s family had woven, she finally understood where he was coming from.

Ultimately, though, Liam conceded and told Amy that he’d keep their tryst under wraps. But doesn’t he have a right to air his and Amy’s dirty laundry? Or is sparing Karma the pain of discovering her favorite people’s secret for the best? Take our poll, and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Does Your Dude Database Look Anything Like This?

by 12 mins ago

Any high school physics student knows Newton’s third law — every action has an equal and opposite reaction — by heart. And on tonight’s “Awkward” episode, Tamara proved the theory with a new virtual project.

After the newest cheerleader and her best pal Jenna discovered the school’s male jocks had been rating their female classmates’ looks in an old phone book, T decided to give the guys a taste of their own medicine. So without a second thought (and apparently after taking a night course in HTML), Tamara created her very own “dude database,” a system through which Palos Hills’ ladies could anonymously rate their former dates with objectifying hashtags. And, like a collection of lumber at a PHHS gathering that night, it spread like wildfire.

T, for one, decided to label her recent hookup Pete, #NothingUpstairs, an honor Jenna suggested she pair with #NothingDownstairs. And Matty, who’d torn Jenna to shreds as a sophomore in the phone book, soon found himself with a #ManWhoreMcKibben moniker. We’re willing to bet there’s more to come from the DD, too — take a look at our predictions of what each gal will say about each guy, and tell us if you’ve ever been a part of something similar.

‘Orange Is The New Black’ Star Laverne Cox To Turn High School On Its Head During Tonight’s ‘Faking It’

by 27 mins ago

The drama department might be the subject of punch lines at your school, but at Hester High, it’s a HUGE deal. And on tonight’s “Faking It” episode, Laverne Cox is taking the reins.

The “Orange is the New Black” star will play the inimitable Margo, a Hester alum and the school’s current head of theater, in an episode that will find some of your favorite students competing for a single spot on the esteemed HHS drama roster. After some stunning auditions, Margo will have a tough time making her pick, but Cox said that playing the character was a no-brainer.

“Margo is so much fun,” she says in the MTV News interview clip below. “I’ve never gotten to play a part like her before, and I grew up with these really amazing, over-the-top ballet teachers and acting teachers, and this performance really is a tribute to all of them.”

Cox adds the allure of a “wonderful, alternative universe” in which LGBT youth are top dogs was too tempting an offer to pass up. Represent, Austin!

Check out the video, and see Cox’s “Faking It” episode — entitled “Lying Kings and Drama Queens” tonight — at 10:30/9:30c. Plus, be sure to watch the actress’ upcoming special “Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word,” a documentary that explores the lives of seven different young transgender people, on October 17 at 7/6c on MTV and LOGO!

Diem Brown On Third Cancer Battle: Don’t Count Me Out

by 23 mins ago

According to CNN, a substance called graphene is the strongest material on earth, but the source’s experts have clearly never met Diem Brown.

The “Challenge” favorite, who collapsed and was hospitalized in August, has since been entrenched in a third battle with cancer — over the past few months, she’s has had multiple surgeries, been outfitted with a colostomy bag and endured excruciating pain in the area around her kidneys. Still, though her battle remains very much uphill, she’s got no intention of putting down the dukes.

Diem32Diem Brown's Instagram

“You can count me out all you want,” she told People earlier this month. “But I’m not out. I’m fighting. I want to be here.”

Brown, who’s been unable to proceed with chemotherapy as scheduled because of a drop in weight, explains that constant physical suffering has ushered her into the hospital once more. And though usual pills and potions haven’t done much to ease her torment, a certain alternative remedy — medical marijuana — has been unexpectedly helpful.

“I asked my doctor about it, and I’ll be totally honest — I had never smoked before in my life,” she admitted. “I did the vaporizer and it took away the pain, and I finally felt like I was able to eat.”

Brown added she’s since occasionally been able to nibble on pizza and Cheetos, or, when she’s able, drink her favorite shake from Barry’s Bootcamp. If this is the diet that helps you push ...

‘Challenge’ Standout Sarah Rice Is Engaged: See Her Ring!

by 15 mins ago

In the scope of “The Challenge,” being part of a pair hasn’t gone so well for Sarah Rice (see: her premature “Exes” ousting and her early “Rivals II” expulsion), but outside of the game, serving as one of two suits her just fine.

The most eager competitor around has yet to cross the finish line first, but she’s just locked down the man of her dreams and announced yesterday that she and Landon Patterson are officially engaged! What’s more, they sealed the deal at a place called The Magic Castle Hotel in Los Angeles. Omen much?

SarahEngagedKissSarah Rice's Instagram

“GUESS WHO JUST GOT ENGAGED!!! This chick!!! I’m so happy to be engaged to the most wonderful man I’ve ever known!! I love you @iatewhat!!!” Sarah captioned the Instagram photo above. Considering Landon’s tatted and tough but still seemingly sweet, we’d say he’s pretty much a perfect match for Sarah. Plus, the rock he got her looks like it belongs in The Smithsonian.

“Yup!!!” the bride-to-be captioned the Instagram photo above. Say no more, Sar. Say no more.

Nikki Deloach On Women In Entertainment: ‘If You Don’t Know Your Value, No One Else Will’

by 11 mins ago

In Palos Hills, Lacey Hamilton is happy to play housewife so long as there’s a roof above her head, but actress Nikki Deloach, who plays the “Awkward” character, is still angling to break through the glass ceiling.

Deloach, who has a background in music and TV, spoke out on closing the Hollywood gender gap at the recent iWe Summit in Los Angeles. And in an interview with WhoSay, she urged female entertainers to keep fighting for roles and positions that they deserve.

“As an actress, writer or producer, it is a struggle sometimes — in a very male-dominated industry — to be heard or to get others to see your value,” she said, noting that only seven percent of Tinseltown directors are women. “It has really taught me to own my worth. If you don’t know your value, no one else will. As hard as it is, you can’t get bitter or defeated — you just have to keep doing you.”

Deloach told the site she was heartened by how many more women are directing “Awkward” episodes now than in seasons past but said there is still a considerable journey ahead for ladies in the industry. She also urged girls who dream of being the next Meryl Streep to maintain absolute sureness in themselves.

“Be you, because there is no one else out there like you,” she advised. “If you love ...
