Scott McCall might have delivered the blow that knocked Peter Hale unconscious and killed the “Teen Wolf” villain’s master plan, but without the help of his loyal pack, it’s safe to say his fist could have never connected.

This season on “Teen Wolf,” Beacon Hills’ True Alpha and his team — which includes a human, a banshee, a kitsune, a werecoyote and a fellow werewolf — successfully terminated a dead pool that threatened to eradicate the town’s entire supernatural population and, later, banished Kate Argent to the far reaches of the Earth and Peter Hale to a windowless room in the shadowy Eichen House. Not bad for a handful of teenagers who still get queasy at the mention of PSATs!

The way we see it, there’s not an ounce of dead weight between Stiles, Lydia, Malia, Kira and Liam, but after battling Berserkers, uncovering virtual cypher keys and translating the language of the dead, who among them is the Season 4 MVP?

As far as brute strength is concerned, nobody’s tougher than Malia, who never batted a lash before jumping into duels with monsters twice her size. Even when bruised and battered, she refused to concede while in combat, but her eagerness to throw down occasionally got her into trouble. Kira, on the other hand, may not have Malia’s muscle but always kept her wits about her on the front lines — and her swordplay is nothing to ...

Guys. The New York Fashion Week collaboration of the year just dropped this afternoon, and we were there to watch it go down! Streetwear giant Jeremy Scott joined forces with pop princess Miley Cyrus and immediately became the wildest fashion dream team of NYFW. Miley’s art was incorporated into Jeremy’s Spring/Summer 2015 show by way of a collection of colorful DIY necklaces, bracelets, and even a hat!

Miley sat front row (with her mom, 2 Chainz, Bella Thorne, Whoopi Goldberg) to watch her creations hit the runway styled with Jeremy’s new collection—which was very 1999′s version of the late ’60s. Clearly excited to see her art come to life, Miley had a giant smile plastered on her face, cheered on the models, and even took the final walk with Jeremy.

The good news is that unlike Pumpkin Spice condoms, Pumpkin Spice Oreos are real. The better news? MTV News got a chance to try them in advance of their September 24 release, and they are delicious.

Look, we’ve tried a fair amount of weird foods here at the MTV offices: Buffalo Crunch Donuts; Ninja Turtles Pizza; and X-Men Twinkies, among other items. And with each of them, reaction has been mixed. Some of the writers here love weird foods (read: me), and some get totally grossed out at the drop of a hat.

With the Pumpkin Spice Oreos, finally, MTV News was united as one, agreeing that the cookies are so good we can’t wait until the end of the month to snag some more. Just take a look at this impromptu cookie party!

Pictured: Everybody being very serious about eating cookies.

Myself, I’ve been an amateur connoisseur of Oreos for a while, even traveling far out of my way to track down an elusive Root Beer Float Oreo (delicious), or the new Caramel Apple (pretty good). But when word of the Pumpkin Spice Oreo spread like wildfire, I knew I had to get my hands on some.

It’s a combination that could have gone terribly wrong. There are some flavors that just don’t work with an Oreo cookie, and Pumpkin Spice is certainly way too prevalent this time of year… It’s not even officially Fall, and I’m already kind of sick of pumpkins.

But ...

Lefties weren’t the only ones miffed by Tuesday’s Apple product launch. OK Go, apparently, didn’t find the company’s offerings to be original enough — specifically, the video that ran at the beginning of the event. A video that looked oddly similar to the band’s VMA-winning video for “The Writing’s On The Wall.”

Apple’s video, titled “Perspective,” was meant to be a tribute to creative thinkers “who have always seen things differently.” It employed a cadre of optical illusions to hammer home this point — illusions very similar in style and execution to the ones OK Go used in their characteristically creative video. The band even released a special website last month explaining how the video was made.

You can check out the similarities between the two videos courtesy of Mashable below.

According to band manager Andy Gershon, those similarities weren’t an accident. He told Business Week that the band previously met with Apple to pitch the illusion idea for a collaboration, and, when Apple turned the idea down, they made the video themselves. Apple then hired OK Go’s production company, 1stAveMachine, and the video’s director to make “Perspective.” OK Go is currently exploring legal options.

This isn’t the first time a band has felt ripped-off by Apple. In 2006, Ben Gibbard of the Postal Service accused Apple of copying his video for “Such Great Heights” after the company put out a commercial using the same imagery — and director.

There are officially too many things in the zeitgeist. They are now mixing and merging in confusing and unholy ways, time periods leaking into time periods in a manner in which would prompt a “Doctor Who” joke from someone has seen more episodes of “Doctor Who.”

The latest “chocolate in my peanut butter” moment? The below mashup of… wait for it… MTV’s “Catfish” and “Saved By The Bell.” Yup, you may have thought it would be impossible to catfish a dude back in the era of the Zack Morris phone — but you would be wrong. Woefully wrong.

Check out the chilling, decades-bridging faux-pisode below:

The last we saw of Katy Perry, she was showing off her pizza print nails behind the scenes at the “How We Do” music video shoot. On her two Harper’s Bazaar October covers, however, things are bit more glamorous.

Harper's Bazaar

Katy–who is back to her dark hair the entire shoot–kicks things off in a beaded, bright red Giorgio Armani Prive gown. The piece dubs Katy “The Lady In Red,” so it’s all red everything throughout. While the dress looks like it could weigh, approximately, 500 pounds, Katy manages to balance in a circular window–so either it’s not that heavy, or she has a great center of gravity.

On the alternate cover, things get a little pinker with Katy in Schiaparelli Haute Couture and a–no biggie, JK!–$16,000 ring from Parulina. Those soft curls combined with the soft light are serving up some real Old Hollywood vibes. The overall aesthetic is updated, though, with that her thick, perfect cat eye.

Harper's Bazaar

In the interview, Katy talks fashion, revealing that her 2010 Met Gala dress from Cute Circuit was a last minute decision. Katy was set to wear a gown from Viktor & Rolf, but “‘one of their factories burned down or something a week before.’ She remembered something she’d found online, a super-camp glow-in-the-dark dress—with an extra set of batteries—by a ...

Say goodbye to Sleazo and Zino.

First the Fat Boys break up, now this.

Former BFFs Stevie J and Benzino made their breakup official Monday (September 8) night on the final installment of the “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” reunion show.

Stevie had no regrets about engaging his former best bud in fisticuffs and Zino, well, he had “no comment.”

“LHHATL” executive producer Stefan Springman sat down with Steebie and Joseline Hernandez and Benzino and Althea to get each couple’s side of the story on what started the fight and what it meant moving forward.

Benzino lost his cool, again, and had to be restrained, again, when Springman kept prodding past his “no comment” answers.

“You punk motherf–ker!” he yelled. “You want a show?”

After calming down and apologizing, the Hip Hop Weekly publisher admitted that it wouldn’t be easy to get over his bromance with Stevie, that he was concerned about Thi Thi post-fight and reiterated his not-so-warm-and-fuzzy feelings about the Puerto Rican Princess.

“F–k yes, she feels she can do anything she want,” he said. “If she don’t get help, nothing good’s gonna come out of that situation.”

While Zino continued to bash his opponents, Althea mostly just nodded and parroted what her fiance had to say.

“He’s a wimp, Stevie’s a weirdo,” he continued. “I get it. He’s standing by his girl. At the end of the day, she gon’ get him hurt.”

For his final parting shot, Benzino admitted that Joseline was the reason his friendship with Sleazo was over.

“Their relationship is like a ...

For decades, guys have worried about their girlfriends remembering to take the pill — but soon, the responsibility may be on both genders. Or even just men.

No, the male birth control pill isn’t here — but the male birth control gel is on its way, assuming the human trials go well. (Research has already proven the procedure effective at preventing pregnancy in baboons.) Here’s everything you need to know about the potential future of contraceptives…

Wait, what is this magical pregnancy-preventing drug?
It’s called “Vasalgel,” but it’s not exactly a drug. It’s a non-hormonal polymer gel that temporarily blocks sperm from flowing through guys’ tubes. Simplified tenfold, it’s a reversible vasectomy — minus the cutting.

You said “reversible,” right?
Yep. The gel is injected into the vas deferens — remember learning about those in 7th grade sex ed? — a.k.a. the ducts that transport sperm.

Wait, it’s injected into my balls?
Yep. Sorry. Want some Tylenol?

OK, OK, fine…tell me more.
The gel forms a wall that effectively stops any sperm from swimming to the motherland. When it’s time to reverse the procedure months or even years later, a second injection flushes out the polymer wall and restores the sperm flow. Compare this to a traditional vasectomy, where the vas deferens are permanently cut.

Is it 100% effective?
In the animal study, male baboons on Vasalgel were each given unrestricted, uh, play time with 10 to 15 female baboons. There were no female pregnancies in six months of baboon hanky panky. Earlier research on rabbits also supports ...

If you don’t genuinely believe high school is a formative experience, take a good, hard look at Jenna Hamilton.

The “Awkward” blogger’s many struggles at Palos Hills High School began when she was mistakenly rumored to have attempted suicide, and as soon as she arrived at school for sophomore year in a full body cast, her legacy seemed more or less set in stone. Unwilling to accept she’d forever be known as “that girl,” though, she made a real effort to let her true self shine through, and in the video below, her quest’s success seems undeniable.

Still, there’s no arguing she’s traveled over more than a few bumps in the road. And though telling off Matty McKibben for his wishy-washy approach to dating and forgiving her mother for writing the Carefrontation letter were proof she’d grown, entering into a drug haze junior year knocked her down a few pegs, and her college dreams seemed to quickly go kaput.

Now, Jenna, who’s managed to maintain her sharp wit through her many ups and downs, will be put to the test as a senior whose ex-boyfriend might soon become a father and a student who’s fighting to prove she’s more than her bottom-of-the-barrel class ranking. Will she pull through?

Check out Jenna’s sophomore-to-senior journey, and be sure to tune into a brand-new batch of “Awkward” episodes beginning September 23 at 10/9c!

Katy Perry is in love again, but this time the relationship is with herself.

The pop star covers the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar and in the magazine talks about how following two very public break-ups with ex-husband Russell Brand and John Mayer, she found herself seeking therapy to learn how to take care of the most important person in her life: herself.

Harper's Bazaar

“What I’ve learned is that if you don’t have the foundation of self-love first, you really have nowhere to pull love from to give it away. I had to learn about taking care of myself before I could take care of others. I want to mommy everyone,” she said. “I want to take care of them. I want to save them, and I forget myself in the meantime. I learned that through therapy.”

Characterizing herself as “open” as she heads into her 30s (her birthday is October 25) about a relationship, she now knows exactly what to look for in a man. But if you’re feeling threatened by her “boss lady” status and bring along some “bulls–t” then you need not apply.

Harper's Bazaar

“I look for the same characteristics: a sense of humor—someone who makes me laugh off the charts— someone who is sensitive, someone who loves and understands music, and who is really smart,” she said. “A lot of times I’ve ended up with people who have been intimidated by ...
