2014 Kids’ Choice Awards: Check Out The Best Fashion Moments

Celebrities of all ages gathered at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards to walk the orange carpet, present awards and a lucky few even got coated in the famous green slime (no, Mark Wahlberg, you are not "unslimeable.") While stars like Bella Thorne and Victoria Justice cleaned up to pose for pics, a few others embraced their inner kid and had fun with their outfits.

Todrick Hall Swings In Like A Wrecking Ball
The American Idol alum kicked off the show, going through a series of outfit changes and reeling off versions of "Timber," and more hits before paying homage to Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball." Todrick donned a version of the singer's famous VMA performance outfit while actually swinging on a wrecking ball.

Pharrell Wears A SpongeBob Onesie
Pharrell stepped up to the stage rocking a bright yellow SpongeBob SquarePants onesie, which would later become coated with the green stuff.

Selena Gomez And Lea Michele Are Backstage BFFs
Selena Gomez and Lea Michele got cozy backstage (presumably keeping their pretty dresses away from any spot of slime).

‘Walking Dead’ Season Finale Pics Spoil <i>Everything</i>

We're one episode away from the final moment of "The Walking Dead" season 4, and the show-runners are playing it close to the vest and keeping things spoiler-free.

...Or are they?

With the release of two new photos from Sunday's big finale, it might seem at first glance like these images — both close-ups, focused on the faces of Rick and Carl Grimes — tell us nothing at all about what's in store in the season's very last episode.



But look again, with the help of our analysis below, and you'll see that they're absolutely chock full o' spoilers. Thanks a lot, show: now we don't even need to watch to know how everything ends.

You have reached Terminus
Let's just start with the truly obvious: that is clearly the brick facade of Terminus behind both Rick and Carl, neither of whom appear to have been beaten to a bloody pulp. Guess we don't have to wonder anymore whether they make it there without being caught by the angry gang of goons who were hot on their trail in the last episode.

Somebody gets a makeover
Not only are Rick's injuries from the stand-off at the prison almost fully healed, but he's about 1000% less greasy than in previous episodes; dude looks positively exfoliated. Basically, it's painfully obvious thanks to these spoileriffic pics that Rick Grimes will be shampooed at some point during the "Walking Dead" finale. Boo! We hate that we know this!

You've got some bloody cheek
That's some remarkably bright red human juice all over the face of Grimes, Junior. It's ...

Lady Gaga At Roseland: The Pop Powerhouse Returns

Lady Gaga kicked off her Roseland residency on Friday (March 28) with a show that was heavy on the hits, sublimely sexual, suitably sentimental — both for her glory days and the iconic venue she's closing with this seven-night stand — and ridiculous in all the right ways.

It was also only about an hour long.

And, sure, she's still getting back into fighting shape after a lengthy layoff (ARTPOP was released last November, the corresponding tour doesn't begin until May,) which probably explains why Friday's set was so short. But, at the same time, it's impossible to write about the show without at least mentioning its brevity.

So let me get it out of the way. Yes, Gaga was guilty of cutting things off just as they were starting to simmer — her main set concluded with a fierce, fiery version of complete with confetti cannons, and a good-natured "Goodnight, you drunk a--holes" salute — then she only played a single song during the encore (fittingly enough, it was new single ) before bowing out. And that abrupt ending seemed to surprise many of her fans, who clearly came to party and now found themselves filing out of Roseland before 11 p.m.

But I'm willing to bet that, by the time they read this, all will have been forgiven. Because while Gaga's show wasn't a long one, it was a rather promising preview of what those same fans should expect when the ARTPOP Ball returns to New York City in May ... not to mention a ...

What Will That Miley Class Teach You? We Found Out

Miley Cyrus has been called a great many things since she twerked into the public eye after last year's MTV Video Music Awards, but I'm pretty sure "a great case study" hasn't been one of them — until now.

The pop star will be the subject of a sociology class at Skidmore College this summer and, according to Professor Carolyn Chernoff, her life and celebrity will serve as the perfect lens through which to examine race, class, gender and media.

Although the syllabus for the class has yet to solidified, Chernoff told MTV News that the class will likely focus on Cyrus' genesis from Disney star to "Miley," as well as the effect her father's fame has had on her maturation.

"We'll also talk about what it means to be an appropriate female media figure, including an appropriate rebel female media figure," she said. "What it means to be an appropriate bad girl. ... Is raunch culture feminist? Does being a feminist mean doing the '70s feminism [thing] of not using your body or your sexuality?"

That discussion will naturally include the conflicting open letters penned to Cyrus by the likes of Amanda Palmer and Sinead O'Connor, a subject that Chernoff plans to explore in her own academic paper on the subject.

Although it might seem a little out there to focus an entire class on Miley -- or Beyonce or Kanye, for that matter — Chernoff sees Cyrus herself as a way into bigger issues and subjects.

"I think these are lenses ...

‘Magic Mike’ Sequel Is Happening And Has The Best Title Ever

That sound you're hearing is the sound of women and fans of good movies in general shrieking at the top of their lungs.

The reason behind the noise is that "Magic Mike 2" is officially a "go," but that's not the only news. According to The Playlist, the sequel, co-written by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, has a director and a title.

According to the site, Steven Soderbergh's go-to assistant director Greg Jacobs is helming "Magic Mike XXL."

To review: That's not "Large." It's not even "Extra Large." That's "Extra Extra Large."

Unfortunately, aside from a rouge start date — which Joe Manganiello claims is sometime this fall — that's all we know about "Magic Mike XXL."

Oh! There was that little detail about Tatum writing the script next to a bust of Matthew McConaughey as a method of quality assurance, I assume.

But just because McConaughey's bust is serving as a source of inspiration for Tatum doesn't mean that the recent Academy Award winner is going to reprise his role as Dallas, the leader of the Xquisite Strip Club performers.

Last we heard from Tatum, the story took the form of a road movie, but who knows how things have changed since then? The original "Magic Mike" ended with Dallas and the boys packing up and heading off to sunny Miami, leaving Mike behind to follow his dream and get some breakfast with Cody Horn.

If shooting does begin in the fall like Manganiello expects, you'll probably see "Magic Mike XXL" grinding into theaters sometime in summer 2015.

Watch 2 Chainz And French Montana Swing For The Fences With ‘A-Rod’

Opening night of the Major League Baseball season is this Sunday (followed on Tuesday by the premiere of at 11 p.m. ET/10 CT on MTV2), and 2 Chainz is getting in the mood with his new song.

On Friday afternoon (March 28), his collaboration with French Montana, "A-Rod," was released online, along with the accompanying video. The strike came roughly a month after the song was first teased, when Tit and French performed it live in New York.

"I be ridin' through the park like I'm A-Rod/ Walkin' through the park like I'm A-Rod/ Smokin' on that strong, that's that steroid/ They tryna kick me out like A-Rod/ I used to run the base like A-Rod," Chainz raps on the chorus, making reference to controversial New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. It's a point of comparison that is loosely woven throughout his and French's verses as well.

The video takes fans to A-Rod's recent stomping grounds, as the two rappers spend a chunk of time rhyming in front of the sign for Yankee Stadium. 2 Chainz is rocking a jacket with the iconic Yankees logo emblazoned on the left chest, while French dons a large fur coat as he rhymes in front of the famous Bronx stadium. Wale also makes a cameo.

There's no word on where the Young Chop-produced track will land, though it may be off of 2 Chainz's upcoming B.O.A.T.S. III album, which the rapper confirmed is in the works last month on "RapFix Live."

"B.O.A.T.S. is like a real healthy timeline of Tity Boy [or] 2 ...
