‘Catfish’ Season Two Trailer Teases Shocking Twists: Watch Now!

A new preview for the new season of "Catfish," MTV's hit reality show, just premiered online, and Nev and Max are back on the road, looking to reveal online relationships for what they really are.

The powerful first season saw the word "Catfish" become a verb in common usage — thanks in large part to the personal life of Notre Dame football player Manti Te'o. The social media sleuths will once again take up the cause of average people who just want to know the truth behind their online relationships.

Season two's trailer teases some of the online relationship suffering from dishonesty, including one woman who has never met her fiancé in person. There's also a relationship that has gone on for eight years without any in-person contact. Needless to say, there will be some big, life-changing meet ups during the second season.

The rest of the preview gives you all of the "Catfish" standards that you expect from the show: tears, anger and lots of nervous people about to meet their long-time online connections.

The biggest revelation comes at the trailer's conclusion and is sure to have the show's rather hardcore fans eager to watch the premiere when it debuts later this month. "This could be the biggest surprise ever," Nev says into Max's camera at the very end of the preview.

The second season of "Catfish: The TV Show" premieres on MTV on Tuesday, June 25 at 10 p.m. ET.

Vampire Weekend Get Weed-y And Weird At ‘Diane Young’ Dinner Party

Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City just debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart, and they undoubtedly wanted to celebrate ... which at least partially explains their new "Diane Young" video.

In the clip, VW throw a Last Supper/séance soiree and invite some of their pals (including Santigold, Dirty Projectors main man David Longstreth and professionally affected singer Sky Ferreira, to name just a few). Frontman Ezra Koening buddies up with a dude in a balaclava. Drummer Chris Tomson engages in a shouting match with Chromeo. Bassist Chris Baio tenderly caresses an espresso machine. There are sparklers and silly string and champagne and at one point, someone uses a saxophone as a bong ... so, y'know, it's educational too.

In short, "Diane Young" doesn't make an ounce of sense, but that's largely beside the point. It's a series of non-sequiturs (which, come to think of it, sort works in the context of Modern Vampires' musical and lyrical anachronisms), not to mention an excuse to blow threw a couple crates of expensive bubbly ... and, again, given VW's recent round of successes, well, you can't fault them for wanting to do that.

"Diane Young" is also an absurdist blast, recalling the oddball excellence of something like Beck's wacked-out clip, and when you consider that the first version of the video was little more than a series of slo-mo shots of Saabs burning well, then the odder the better.

Then again, perhaps that's all reading too deeply. Like Koenig's verbal wordplay ("Diane Young" = "Dying Young") suggests, ...

‘Teen Wolf’ Star Crystal Reed Previews Season 3 Premiere

It's back to Beacon Hills for another action-packed season of MTV's supernatural series

Last August's season-two finale was one memorable doozy, to be sure, but if you need a quick refresher of where things left off, you're in luck. MTV News spoke with star Crystal Reed (who plays Allison Argent) to get a quick catch-up before diving into the shenanigans of season three.

"The end of last season, Allison did some really interesting things," Reed said, diplomatically. "She was pretty vengeful, and she made a few mistakes, and so she's realized that. She took three months and took a summer break with her dad to Paris and sort of figured things out. Her and Scott have been broken up for a while. She doesn't see him, and she's kind of removed herself from all things Beacon Hills."

Got that? OK, let's move on to what fans can expect from Monday's (June 3) premiere and the rest of the season, especially as it relates to a promise Allison is probably going to break.

"We pick up tonight with her returning, and she sees Scott, and all those things come back to her," Reed explained. "And she's made a pact with her father not to be involved with werewolf hunting anymore, because it's really not that good. Things start to happen in Beacon Hills, and she finds herself starting to question whether she can keep that commitment anymore, just because she's a person who can't just stand by when bad things are happening. She has to be involved, and she has to help ...

Ke$ha Regrets Nothing, Not Even Drinking Her Own Pee

Before the premiere of unrepentant star Ke$ha promised that her MTV docu-series wouldn't be sanitized, proudly proclaiming it would feature "everything from breakdowns to triumphs and make outs and mornings after."

Of course, she forgot to mention the part where she drank her own pee. But that scene — featured in the show's fifth episode — certainly caught the attention of groups like the Parents Television Council, who branded it "disgusting" and "vile." So now, with "My Crazy Beautiful Life's" six-episode run over, we had to ask ... does Ke$ha have any regrets about the stuff we saw on screen?

You can probably guess her answer.

"No. I know you want me to say I wish I didn't drink my pee, but I'm happy I did," Ke$ha told MTV News. "I don't go online because it gives me anxiety. I know everyone's always talking about 'How dare I fill-in-the-blank.' [But] It's my pee!"

It is indeed. And though all six eps of "My Crazy Beautiful Life" have aired, when Ke$ha stopped by MTV to premiere her new video last week, we couldn't help but notice that she brought her brother — and documentarian — Lagan along with her. And, yes, he was filming. Which lead us to wonder if a second season of the show could be in the works.

"I don't know MTV; would you guys like a second season?" she laughed. "We have so much amazing footage that didn't make it, you don't understand. [Lagan] followed me around for two-and-a-half years ... There was one ...

Beyonce Laughs Off Pregnancy Rumors

Beyoncé wrapped up the first leg of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour over the weekend with pregnancy rumors still swirling.

Only weeks ago, Jay-Z reportedly shut down the speculation, but when the singer sat down with the "Today" show, she played it coy instead of issuing a hard "yes" or "no" answer.

"What kind of rumor? Huh?" the singer said with a laugh when interviewed backstage at the Sound of Change Live charity concert in London. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Her bite comes days after she posted a photo of herself sipping wine with Hova while trekking the globe, leaving fans to further speculate without a firm answer from the singer herself. Drinking wine isn't the only thing she and her rapper hubby have done together in the last few days. On Saturday night he joined her onstage in London at Twickenham Stadium, where they performed "Crazy in Love" together.

In addition to her Jay-Z duet, Bey also performed "Run the World (Girls)," "Single Ladies," "If I Were a Boy" and "Halo." Other performers included Jessie J, Rita Ora, Iggy Azalea and Florence and the Machine. The benefit show raised $4.3 million for the Gucci-sponsored organization Chime for Change, which promotes female empowerment.

The day before the London show, Beyoncé played Antwerp, Belgium, closing out the European leg of the Mrs. Carter jaunt, giving fans the first full listen to "Standing on the Sun." "We've been saving this song just for y'all," she told the crowd before launching into the searing, ...

2 Chainz Fuels September Album With ‘Gasoline’

All 2 Chainz wanted for his birthday last year was a big booty girl, but in 2013, a new album is at the top of his b-day wish list. On September 10, Deuce plans to release his as-of-yet untitled sophomore album. If the date sticks, it will come at a very special time: Chainz was born on September 12.

"Yeah man, I'm a Virgo so that should be cool, man," he told MTV News on Thursday when we caught him in Atlanta on the set of B.o.B's But that's not all. "And I just found out Floyd will be fighting the 14th, so that's gonna be a good week, man," he said of the big boxing match between the undefeated champion Floyd Mayweather and rising star Canelo Alvarez.

"We should all celebrate the week of the 10th man, I'm just really... adding gasoline or adding steroids to what I was already doing as far as locking own the club, locking down the streets," Chainz added. "Just really giving it to you from my heart man and also enjoying life, enjoying getting this paper. You feel me?"

On Sunday night, 2 Chainz treated Summer Jam fans to something exclusive. Not only did he surprise fans and bring out Nicki Minaj to the very concert she boycotted last year, he also gave the crowd a first listen to his new single "Feds Watching."

The track doesn't officially drop on iTunes until Tuesday, but Chainz bopped excitedly to the reggae-tinged track onstage, and judging from the crowd's reaction, the world is ...
