‘Are You The One?’ Aftermath: Jessica Says Her Hookup With Anthony Lasted 30 Seconds

by 21 mins ago

The “Are You the One?” daters have 10 whole weeks to determine who among them is Perfect Match material, but it only took a single night for Jessica and Anthony to voyage to Pound Town…or at least make a layover en route.

On the Season 2 premiere, the New York gal and the Midwest wonder threw caution to the wind and discretely got down while still surrounded by their housemates. And though Anthony gives the experience a nine out of 10 in the “Pound Town Confessions” clip below, Jessica’s assessment isn’t so favorable.

“It was 30 seconds!” she yelps in the video. “It was bad!”

Jess says the roll in the hay — which manifested out of drunken, first-night excitement — was a “try before you buy type of thing,” and though she was impressed by Anthony’s…uhh…equipment, her awe started and stopped there.

“I kinda gotta teach him things,” she explains through giggles. “‘Cause he’s young.”

Anthony’s got nothing but pride for his Pound Town-expedition, though, even though he knew it could have come at a cost.

“I was worried it could affect the relations I had with other women,” he admits. “I knew that it was a long journey, and I came out the gates a little hot, so I thought it might set me back a little bit. At the same time, I didn’t really care.”

One Last Palos Hills Hurrah: ‘Awkward’ Renewed For Fifth (And Final) Season

by 10 mins ago

It seems like just yesterday Jenna Hamilton choked on a couple of aspirin, knocked her hairdryer into a tub and mistakenly convinced the better part of Palos Hills that she was a flagrant suicide risk. Ah, memories…

Awkward,” which has followed the sarcastic student and blogger and her pals since 2011, has been renewed for a fifth and final season, which will air after Season 4′s current second leg, according to Deadline. More “Awkward,” but with a definite expiration date? We finally understand the concept of bittersweet!

S5MTV

So will Jenna brush herself off after rejection from Southern Coast University and fulfill her dream of becoming a famous ink slinger? Will Sadie found a food truck operation all her own? We’re not sure, but the show’s actors are certain that they’re ready for any ride.

“YAS HONEY. let’s do this,” Molly Tarlov tweeted after she got the news, while Jillian Rose Reed rhetorically asked “You wanted one more, right?!” Uhh, does Valerie Marks have a thing for men in bear suits?!

(yes.)

‘Happyland’ Scandal Report: Dazzle Darling Learns Heartbreaking Secret About Father

by 18 mins ago

Father knows best? Certainly not in the Velez household.

Scandal2Casey Casey Freeman and Shannon Baek

In the aftermath of the latest “Happyland” scandal, in which longtime park darling Lucy Velez learned she and crush Ian Chandler were a little more than just kissing cousins, sources tell us Lucy’s had her world turned upside-down for a second time.

Lucy’s mother Elena, who’s played the park princess for years, devastated her daughter when she explained that Lucy’s father, Happyland’s own President Chandler, didn’t want her. According to transcriptions obtained by Teen Tuesday, Elena shockingly confessed she was Chandler’s mistress years ago, and that when he learned she was pregnant with Lucy, Chandler tried to pay her off to “get it taken care of.” The words of a trusted leader?

Teen Tuesday is asking anyone who can corroborate Velez’s allegation to reach out.

Happyland representatives did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

It Looks Like Jillian Rose Reed Has Got Her Own ‘F**k It List’

by 30 mins ago

Earlier this season on “Awkward,” Tamara committed to spending the second semester of her senior year in a state of total anarchy, and so far, the “F**k It List” has really flown. But is actress Jillian Rose Reed following her character’s lead?

Last night, while the casts of “Awkward,” “Faking It” and “Happyland” live-tweeted through #TripleCrushTuesday, things got a little goofy, and at one point, JRR seemed ready to lock lips with co-star Ashley Rickards.

True, the actresses’ characters Tamara and Jenna had been there before, but it was a new frontier for JRR and Ash.

JillAshKissJillian Rose Reed's Instagram

“Watching awkward and touching tongue obvi,” Jill tweeted with the photo above, and the madness didn’t stop there. Naturally, as the night went on, snacks became necessary, and Jill helped Ash cure her hunger pangs in true “F**k-It” fashion.

“This is how we have fun,” Jill wrote alongside an Instagram video in which she feeds Ashley a block of feta cheese. Let’s hope sipping on soda in tandem didn’t end in disaster…

And while Jillian and Ashley were having a blast, “Awkward” co-star Molly Tarlov, sadly, found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Or, more accurately, between Sadie Saxton‘s former and current flames, Austin and Sergio.

‘Faking It’ Poll: Should Shane Ease Up On Karma?

by 26 mins ago

Even at a school that’s as friendly as Hester High, fights are bound to happen. But Shane‘s treatment of Karma on tonight’s “Faking It” episode could have given a snowman frostbite.

Karma, who made it her personal mission to help Amy move on from her romantically, put forth a real effort to arrange a lasting date for her BFF. But, convinced that Karma had ulterior motives — and that she was just trying to distract Amy so that she could reel Liam in once again — Shane confronted the singer at Hester’s Brazilian carnival, and nearly gave her whiplash.

Shane ripped Karma apart for exploiting him and his fellow gays for personal gain and laid into her for hurting both Liam and Amy in the process. “You used your witchy ways and made my two favorite people fall for you,” he said before kissing her to see what all the fuss was about. Ultimately, though, he said he still didn’t get her appeal.

ShaneKarmaKiss

True, Karma is no saint, and her fake-lesbian agenda won’t earn her an officer’s position at the gay/straight student alliance. But she’s trying her damnedest to right her wrongs, so should Shane ease up? After all, if his two best pals love her so much, she can’t be so bad…

Did Jenna And Matty Find Their Soul Mates, Or Is This About To Get ‘Awkward’?

by 6 mins ago

Back-and-forth couple Jenna Hamilton and Matty McKibben have gone in more circles than a tether ball in a championship match, but is the game finally going to end?

After kissing Owen on New Year’s Eve and dealing with the guilt of breaking her no-hookup pact with Matty, Jenna tried as best she could to avoid the sophomore on tonight’s “Awkward” episode. But, for all her efforts, she couldn’t seem to shake the classical music buff, and when Owen proved to be a shoulder for Jenna to cry on after she was rejected from Southern Coast University, she officially gave in and engaged in a full-blown makeout session with her crush.

Owen is sensitive, artistic and a thoughtful listener — could he be exactly what Jenna needs?

NewOwen

All the while, Matty, who’s landed more dates than pilots have planes, couldn’t seem to get Gabby to notice him. Sadie urged him to give up and insisted that the Palos Hills teenage tennis pro only went after college guys, but Matty couldn’t help himself, and Gabby’s cold shoulder only compounded his desire to get her to go out with him.

A fellow athlete, could the brash, self-assured Gabby help Matty get over Jenna?

by 10 mins ago

Teen Wolf” fans: Don’t be ashamed if you still toy around with that dusted-over Ouija board in your parents’ attic — the practice is about to be put to very good use.

The game, which has connected its players to the undead since the 19th century (watch its potential to terrify in the viral video below), will get a silver-screen adaptation on October 24. But first, it’ll serve as your very own link to Beacon Hills — or, more specifically, the town’s graveyards.

‘Are You The One?’ Spitfire Simone Gives Her Unedited Take On The Season 2 Premiere

by 15 mins ago

On the inaugural “Are You The One?” season, Dre had the very distinguished honor of landing the lovely, sassy Simone as his perfect match. But let’s be honest — she stole all of our hearts.

The woman whose grave will read “I want my money!” has never been shy about voicing her opinions (even at baby showers), and thankfully, that won’t soon change. Simone’s agreed to be MTV News’ “Are You The One?” analyst through Season 2, and she-who-won’t-mince-her-words has already got a lot to say.

Below, Simone weighs in on tonight’s premiere — from early connections to jump-the-gun trips to Pound Town and, of course, the adorable Ellie (how can you not love her?!). See what Simone says, share your thoughts on the ep and stay tuned for “Simone Says” Episode 2!

What’s Really ‘Awkward’? When Adults Act Like Total Amateurs On New Year’s Eve

by 21 mins ago

When Lacey Hamilton urged her daughter Jenna to consider breast enhancement surgery on Season 1 of “Awkward,” we knew we weren’t dealing with typical moms and dads. But even with that scale considered, the parents of Palos Hills shocked us on last week’s episode.

On a New Year’s Eve that found high school seniors Jenna and Matty behaving tamely, their parents — and a number of other grown-ups — were acting as if they’d never left the frat row from whence they came. Between trysts with strippers, robbing the cradle and drinks, drinks, drinks, the 30-plus crowd really brought the heat at Aunt Ally’s house.

Few were left standing by the time midnight finally rolled around, but whose NYE was the most shameful? Look back at the five greatest offenders below, take our poll and tune in to the next “Awkward” episode tomorrow night at 10/9c!

Lissa’s mom:

NYELissaM


After Lissa confessed her secret — that she was in love with her sort-of brother Tyler — she caught flak from her uber-conservative mother, who was sure Lissa would soon face the wrath of God. *RECORD SCRATCH* Wasn’t it you who first flirted with your pseudo-son, lady? And isn’t it you who continued to do so through many of glasses of Pinot? Maybe avoiding hypocrisy should top your list of resolutions…
