This Is How Snooki ‘Goes Hard’ On The Weekend

by 7 mins ago

Jersey Turnpikin’ and whizzing behind bars are clearly things of the past for Nicole Polizzi, who eschewed fireworks and traditional July 4th festivities for a much-deserved chillax fest. That’s right — the Snooki & JWOWW” star tweeted a make-up free selfie in her leopard-print jammies, while clutching a baby bottle.

The guidette most definitely gets a free pass on how she went “hard” over the holiday weekend, seeing as she’s spent much of her second pregnancy working her butt off (and firming up what’s left of it). How so? She’s been hitting red carpets (in heels!) with her equally pregnant bestie JWOWW, going to the gym and running three miles a day like a really ripped madwoman, planning her wedding to her hunky husby-to-be Jionni and chasing little ‘Enzo around the Magic Kingdom. And she’s done it all while battling pregnancy cravings (strawberries, of all things) plus those aches and pains which likely contributed to Nicole’s casual choice in lounge couture:

The sky-high stilettos Snooki wore to a friend’s wedding on Friday probably didn’t help in the ol’ back area, but a gal’s gotta stick to her style motto: Always wear heels! One thing’s for sure — that female baby LaValle is going to be well-styled. Only two months ’til we get to meet her!

These Young Adults Have One Thing In Common: They’re All Walking On ‘Virgin Territory’

by 11 mins ago

As Taylor Swift (and her roster of heartache songs) can tell you, love ain’t easy. Throw the subject of sex into the mix and all bets are off, especially if you’re still navigating the often-tricky world of virginity. Awkward talks with your parents, friends who can’t relate to your V-card status, and the pressure to succumb to temptation are all par for the course.

MTV’s new docu-series, “Virgin Territory,” will explore the lives of 15 young adults who have yet to swipe their V-card — they’re either waiting until marriage or trying to lose it. We’ll be making cast introductions leading up to the July 16 premiere, starting with these five folks:

DOMINQUE_21


Dominique, 22
The Marlboro, Maryland, resident is breaking family barriers by choosing to remain celibate until the right man comes along — she was raised in a household in which many of her family members had children out of wedlock. Dominique, who lives by the motto “No ringy, no dingy!”, isn’t just vowing save herself until marriage — she’s also determined to improve her rocky relationship with her mother.

LISA_37


Lisa, 23
The Sarasota, Florida, Christian is engaged and counting down the days to her wedding night. A firm believer in no sex before marriage, Lisa longs to fully give herself to her fiancé Nick but is also nervous about the prospect of married life. As her special day approaches, Lisa prays her sick father will be well enough to attend.

Kyle, 20

Olivia Palermo Of ‘The City’ Gets Married…And Looks Unsurprisingly Awesome

by 44 mins ago

Forever-stylish socialite and former star of “The CityOlivia Palermo got married on Saturday to her model beau Johannes Huebl, and we’re not jealous one bit. Nope, not us. (We’re lying. Have you SEEN his abs?)

The longtime loves tied the knot in an intimate outdoor ceremony in Bedford, NY, amongst “a handful” of family and friends, ‘Liv posted on her website.

“We really wanted to keep this beautiful day very private and special to us and enjoyed the whole day with our family and two friends,” she wrote. “Bedford is such an amazing and romantic countryside.”

Designed by Carolina Herrera, the former Elle editor’s one-of-a-kind outfit for the big day did not disappoint: A simple cream cashmere sweater was paired with chic white shorts and a full tulle skirt overlay adorned with satin and silk details. Oh, and don’t forget the jewel-toned Manolo Blahniks for her “something blue.” Ensemble envy, anyone? Subtle jewelry, soft makeup and her signature loose ponytail completed the classic-yet-carefree look.

Don’t you dare get any grass stains on those Manolos, ‘Liv.

Which ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Jailbird Would Kick The Most ‘Teen Wolf’ Demon Ass?

by 3 mins ago

If it’s true that there’s safety in numbers, Scott & Co. may be in trouble on “Teen Wolf.” Despite the addition of Kira and the newly turned (and potentially untrustworthy) Malia, the young lycanthrope’s pack has lost Allison (RIP), Isaac (who is grieving with Mr. Argent somewhere in France), the twins, and now Derek, who’s merely a Benjamin Button version of his former badass self.

Until the crew can find a way to reverse whatever it is Kate Argent did to our blue-eyed Alpha-turned-Beta-turned-child, they might benefit from a little help from some other people who know a thing or two about throwing down: the ferocious fighters of Litchfield State Prison. But which “Orange Is the New Black” character is most qualified to battle the villains of Beacon Hills? Read up on the ruthless lady prisoners, and take our poll!

Piper Chapman: She struck us as a too-smart-for-her-own-britches wuss early on in the series, but Piper gradually redeemed herself. First, she went head-to-head with Red; then she put the beatdown on Pennsatucky, punching that snaggle-tooth grin right off her face. Can’t you see Pipes winning a battle of wits against the evil Deucalion?

Galina “Red” Reznikov: The angry Russian (former) chef has an “in” with the mob and won’t hesitate to scheme her way out of a dangerous situation — or strangle you with plastic wrap in much the same way the Darach attempted to choke ...

Which ‘Teen Wolf’ Kiss Set Off More Sparks: Stalia’s Or Stydia’s?

by 4 mins ago

pan*ic at*tack — n. A sudden feeling of acute and disabling anxiety symptomized by shortness of breath, loss of focus and/or accelerated heart rate. Sometimes leads to making out.

When struck with debilitating feelings of anxiety, some people pop a prescribed Xanax or take a few deep breaths. Others, apparently, opt for a good old-fashioned smooching session.

Malia chose the latter on last night’s “Teen Wolfpremiere, when struggling to use her newfound werewolf abilities — including a heightened sense of hearing — to determine the whereabouts of Scott, Kira and Lydia.

Stiles, who has a history of anxiety and panic attacks himself, gave the best advice he could: “Just focus on the sound of my voice — anything you have to do, just try to concentrate.”

Malia promptly took that tip and ran with it, locking lips with him ’til she calmed down. The girl is very resourceful.

Werecoyote-turned-homegirl clearly has a thing for our beloved human hero. She did, after all, once basically beg him to take her virginity. But the kiss reminded us of another time Stiles sucked face with a lovely lady: the infamous Stydia smooch. You remember it: the one where Lydia swapped spit with Stiles in a bid to chill his nerves after his sheriff pop went missing?

We’re so torn. Malia and Lydia are both quick-witted beauties. While Stydia have years of history, thanks to a deep friendship (and longtime crush on Stiles’ end), Stalia have ...

Four Times The ‘Awkward’ Ski Trip’s Chaperones Were Conveniently MIA

by 3 mins ago

Let Tuesday night’s mid-season finale of “Awkward” be a lesson in adult supervision.

While Eva/Amber was off taking pregnancy tests, Juke was unraveling and Sherlock Sadie was unleashing her inner Olivia Benson, the PHHS senior class ski trip chaperones were doing anything but…chaperoning.

mtv_com_images_HDAKW410A_639836.jpg_1463975_1920x1080

Val was busy deciding which fanny pack would most impress the hunky ski bear, and Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton were obsessed with making freshies (huh?) in the snow. When their “adult” guidance was needed most, they were nowhere to be found, which made the entire excursion seem a lot like college spring break, or an early ’80s movie (see: “Hot Dog“).

Here are four times a suitable chaperone would have come in handy:

1. Uninvited college guy crashes the party. Jenna was two steps away from finding herself right back in Lonely Girl Territory, until her older beau trekked all the way from SCU to rescue her from a solo ski vacay. Big ups to Luke for trying to be a good boyfriend, but remind us how his presence didn’t raise a red flag?

jukeski

Just checking… Jenna IS still in high school, right?

2. Sadie trespasses after getting kicked off the trip. The second Sadie found proof that Eva might be a complete psychopath, she hauled ass to the resort (and promptly scared the living daylights out of Jenna), despite being booted off the bus for yanking her mortal enemy’s pigtails.

Whose Heart Is Sure To Be Broken On Tonight’s ‘Faking It’ Finale?

by 18 mins ago

Weddings can occasionally be a recipe for disaster and heartache. Case in point: Aunt Ally’s majorly cray ceremony on Season 2 of “Awkward.”

Now our gut is telling us that tonight’s “Faking It” season finale will be equally dramatic when Amy‘s mom Farrah ties the knot with Lauren‘s dad. Between a couple of teenage wedding crashers and a potentially shocking speech from Amy (seriously, will homegirl finally ‘fess up her feelings?), the only thing that could further push this ceremony out of tame territory would be another epic croquembouche fight. (Fingers crossed!)

While Aunt Ally’s nuptials left Jenna brokenhearted on “Awkward,” who’s liable to be left out in the cold tonight on “Faking It”? Threesomes clearly don’t work between Amy, Karma and Liam, which means one of them will likely end up in SoloTown. The first candidate: Amy, who may risk her friendship by laying her not-platonic-at-all love on the line for Karma, only to wind up hurt and rejected (see: sorta-secret lovers Kiam).

Then there’s hunky Liam, who could get ousted if Amy’s feelings are actually reciprocated by Karma – making it a triumphant WIN for the Karmy.

Finally, there’s Karma, the gal who started all these shenanigans in the first place – could her seemingly selfish, Liam-obsessed ways come back to bite her in the tush?

+ Right about now we wish we had a Magic 8 Ball, but we’ll settle for your opinion. Who’s likely to have ...

‘Awkward.’ Fans, Cast Your Vote: Jatty Or Juke?

by 06/06/14

While Tamara was busy exploring her inner bi-Curious George (nice one, Val!) on Tuesday night’s “Awkwardepisode, Jenna found herself stuck on a dorm roof with her stressed-to-the-max college boyfriend, Luke. J-Town’s surprise visit to SCU quickly went south when Luke made it quite obvious their age difference can be an inconvenience: “Jenna, you just don’t understand how important my studying is,” he said. “You’re still in high school.” Way to make a girl feel special, stud.

Lukester then backpedaled his way into Jenna’s good graces before engaging in a flashcard-fondle fest, but the damage was (in our eyes) done. Maybe this Juke pair-up was a matter of poor timing?

Then there’s on-again/off-again/friends-with-benefits/off-again Jatty. Jenna clearly has unresolved feelings for her first love, which bubbled to the surface in the form of mad jealousy during her misguided Matty/Eva set-up. Jatty have history and an undeniable chemistry (born out of a summer camp supply closet rendezvous, no less). Juke share a love of literature, writing and the Arctic Monkeys. It’s a tough call, but which couple do you prefer?

‘Faking It’ Poll: Is Karma Secretly Falling In Lust With Amy?

by 06/02/14

Not sure if your bestie likes you in that way? Getting her to make out with you, while wearing only the finest from Victoria’s Secret, is one surefire strategy to find out!

That was kinda-sorta Amy‘s plan when she agreed to a threesome with her BFF Karma and Hester High School’s resident hottie Liam, on last week’s episode of “Faking It.” While Karma’s plan centered on her fake girlfriend bolting mid-orgy so she could finally lose her V-card to Liam, Amy held onto hope that Karma was really, truly into her. After all, in the words of the ever-insightful Shane: “One does not suggest a three-way with one’s BFF all willy-nilly.” Bisexual Batsignal alert!

But when it came time to actually seal the deal with both Amy and Liam, Karma got cold feet. Whether it was the seedy motel room, the unexpected strains of “Mr. Saxobeat,” the thought of really having to pretend being into her gal pal or the prospect of going all the way with Liam, she became radically reluctant, prompting Amy to get the party started with the best quote ever: “F**k it. Is this a threesome or a staring contest?”

And that’s about when THE KISS happened.

No, not this one. The lingerie-laden, not-so-sisterly smooch that left Karma completely bewildered and Amy likely thinking something along the lines of “Nailed it!”


Yep, this is the one.

Not wanting to be left out, Liam swooped in to swap spit with Amy. Bad move: ...

‘Awkward.’ Poll: Is Eva Lying About Her Formerly Fabulous Life?

by 05/29/14

It’s not uncommon for the new kid at school to desperately crave some company. After all, being a transfer student ain’t easy, as we’ve seen with former Manhattanite Eva on “Awkward.” But the Palos Hills High School senior is almost trying too hard to get in the other teens’ good graces, and after Tuesday’s episode, it’s tough to tell whether her goal is to make friends…or frenemies. Blackmailing resident PHHS bitch Sadie into playing nice? Letting a tipsy Matty and Jake deal with the police? Cuddling up to Jenna‘s ex (even though J-Town said it’s okay, it’s not. Girl code)? Not really the best ways to gather up BFFs.

Not to mention Eva’s incessant namedropping and not-so-humble brags. Homegirl claims to be tight with world-renowned fashion designer Alexander Wang and to take exotic trips abroad with her free-spirit parents. And as far as her love life, she supposedly once “dated” a DJ in L.A. who would fly her out on the weekends…from Switzerland.

She’s a self-proclaimed expert on the G-spot and once swore to a ‘gasm-impaired Tamara that “tantra will release that fire-breathing dragon in your vagina.” How many teenagers do you know who practice tantric sexcapades? On second thought, is Eva even a teenager? The experienced blonde bombshell could be in her mid-20s for all we know…

Maybe we’re just being overly skeptical? After all, Eva does word-vomit with the confidence of a Victoria’s Secret supermodel. Tell us what you think — ...
