Poor Jimmy Fallon. One minute, you’re the only game in town wearing a pair of much-discussed tight pants; the next, you’re being toppled from your throne by a very volatile Jennifer Lopez, whose tight pants are so much tighter than yours.

This musical battle of wills (and pants!) was part of Monday’s “The Tonight Show” lineup, and it had all the makings of a wholesome dance-off in which both parties learned an important lesson about friendship and sharing…

…that is, until J-Lo removed an earring and vowed to start cutting people if Jimmy didn’t take his pants and skedaddle. Which he did, and we don’t blame him.

Leonardo leads his fellow ninja bros to the big-screen later this summer, when Michael Bay’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot arrives.

We’re still a few months out from that release, and so far, we only have a few official images and teasers to help shape our anticipation. Now, we have a little bit more to go on: Paramount has released six new posters from the new “Turtles” movie, including a group shot, individual character posters for each of the four turtles, and one poster for the villainous Shredder.

Check them out:

Michelangelo (total party dude)

Shredder (basically just a jerk)

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” hits the screen on August 8.

Taylor Swift: Not just good at singing. She’s also a dedicated needlesmith, as evidenced by this rustic, somewhat rudimentary yet conceptually adorable besties needlepoint she made for Ed Sheeran. The craft features the oft-quoted Drake maxim “Started From the Bottom.”

Sheeran did what any best friend of Taylor Swift — who’s featured in the new MTV documentary a href=”http://www.mtv.com/shows/nine-days-and-nights-of-ed-sheeran/”>”9 Days and Nights of Ed Sheeran” — would do upon receiving such a sweet souvenir of bestie-dom: He promptly framed and hung the thoughtful handicraft, which also features the popular Internet first-world idiom “the struggle is real,” on his wall. He shows it off in the can’t-miss doc about his charmed and surreal life.

Taylor’s handiwork is just one of the many personal moments Ed shares in “9 Days And Nights,” premiering tonight (June 10) at 11/10c p.m. on MTV.

And this further proves my overlapping theories that a.) Given her propensity for jam-making and baking, Taylor could easily change careers and become a home-ec teacher, and b.) Ed and Taylor’s friendship is the cutest thing since Meredith and Graham.

Warning: Major spoilers from last Sunday’s “Game of Thrones” are ahead!

Kissed by fire, killed by an arrow — that’s the way the cookie crumbled for Ygritte, the wildling warrior who lost her life on “The Watchers on the Wall.”

Jon Snow’s ex-girlfriend died during the wildling raid on Castle Black, just seconds before she could shoot an arrow into her former flame. Young Ollie beat her to the punch, driving an arrow straight through her heart, leaving Ygritte to bleed out and die in Jon’s arms. It was very sad, and further proof that no one can have nice things on “Game of Thrones.”

Sadly, there’s no rewinding the clock on this one, “Edge of Tomorrow” style. Ygritte is dead, dead, dead. But, there are ways of softening the blow, including adding some Bon Jovi to the equation. See for yourself:

Dat head nod.

Do you like this version of Ygritte’s death better than the real thing?

A young couple almost became homeless on tonight’s episode of “16 and Pregnant,” but will their last-ditch effort to find shelter end in disaster?

Popular high school graduate Jordan dreamed of joining the army, but her plans were derailed when she became pregnant. Soon after, her boyfriend Derek dropped out of college to get a job. When he lost the position, Jordan’s parents kicked him out — Jordan left with him — and the couple proceeded to bounce from couch to couch as they struggled to support themselves.

Before the arrival of their daughter Genevieve, Jordan opened up to her aunt and grandmother — the only family members she was speaking to — and confessed that she didn’t have a bank account. Derek, meanwhile, was in the red. “Right now, we have no means of supporting a baby,” the mom-to-be admitted.

While her grandmother gave Jordan some cash, she couldn’t help in the housing department. Enter Derek’s Texas-based dad Duane, who arranged for the couple to temporarily stay at his friend Tracy’s home in Baltimore.

Jordan and Derek soon settled into Tracy’s living room — they slept there on two twin beds — but friction appeared as Derek seemed uninterested in finding a job. During one heated argument, Derek snapped that he could leave “at any point” and Jordan would be “stuck” with their child.

Derek apologized after the squabble and changed his story, insisting that if he was going to take off, he would have done so when Jordan first ...

Life’s a beach for Nicole Scherzinger in her new music video for ‘Your Love.’

The Dawn Shadforth-directed clip begins with the sunkissed singer frolicking on the beautiful Malibu coastline in a black croptop and shorts.

After starting off with the line, “Boy you don’t know how much I like it,” the former Pussycat Dolls chanteuse is joined by a pop lockin’ dancer and an Alvin Ailey-esque performer who both boogie and sway to the uptempo track with enthusiastic and rhythmic flair.

Scherzinger makes a sexy wardrobe change to a black wraparound swimsuit before letting her love interest know that he’s one lucky SOB with the line, “Yeah baby, you got me, Yeah my body’s like Bugatti/You know everybody wants mine/ You got every thing they don’t, uh.”

When the sun sets, the visuals take a more artistic turn, with Scherzinger dancing in front of a blue- and red-lit tree and flanked by fire-breathing entertainers and plumes of pyrotechnics.

Khloe Kardashian, new beau French Montana, and Miguel ended up in South Africa together for the 2014 MTV African Music Awards. So the troupe did what anyone would do while traversing the Rainbow Nation and embarked on a safari adventure.

Spiff TV Presents The “Team Safari” Lineup

Khloe Shares The Obligatory Safari Selfie

French Montana Got A Taste Of The Local Dance Scene

Then He Got, Like, Scary-Close To A Giraffe

French Also Went To The Beach In Durban, Like A Boss

Then The Crew Hooked Up With MAMA Host Marlon Wayans And Trey Songz

Maybe we’ll see a “Khloe and French take Africa” in the future? Crossing my fingers.

So, James Franco read Lindsay Lohan a bedtime story called “A Perfect Day for Banafish.”

Or, at least, he did as much in a new short story he wrote for Vice called “Bungalo 89,” as part of their new fiction issue.

“Once upon a time a guy, a Hollywood guy, read some Salinger to a young woman who hadn’t read him before. Let’s call this girl Lindsay,” he writes at one point in the story, which is said to be a work of fiction, but includes a number of real people and events.

“She was a Hollywood girl, but a damaged one. I knew that she would like Salinger, because most young women do. I read her two of the Nine Stories, ‘A Perfect Day for Bananafish’ and ‘For Esmé—with Love and Squalor.’”

Later, he addresses the rumor which surfaced earlier this year, that the two had slept together.

“Now we were lying in bed,” the tale continues. “I wasn’t going to f–k her. She had her head on my shoulder. She started to talk. I let her.”

The conclusion of the odd-yet-entertaining bit of prose again aims at Lohan. “Every night Lindsay looked for me, and I hid,” Franco writes. “Out the window was Hollywood.”

I'm serious about these snacks. Catch me @adamfleischer

If you weren’t at DigiFest NYC this weekend — a music festival showcasing the best artists in social media — you were seriously missing out. We at MTV News, however, were there all weekend, catching up with your favorite YouTube stars. But don’t worry – you can live vicariously through these pics and pretend you were right there with us.

Chilling With O2L

What’s better than a giant bus with the O2L boys’ faces on it? Ricky, Connor, Trevor, Sam, JC and Kian in the flesh! I was lucky enough to have the boy invite me onto their tour bus to hang out for a bit. When Kian wasn’t picking apart pieces of paper to delicately place in JC’s hair, the boys getting ready to pump up their fans.

Frankie Grande Goes Glam

Even if you were at DigiFest, you probably didn’t see Frankie Grande — yes, Ariana Grande’s hilariously awesome brother — getting glittered up backstage. I’m not entirely sure how many bottles of glitter were used, but let’s just say he put a whole new meaning to “Shine bright like a Frankie!”

Viners Take Over

Viners owned DigiFest. Matt Espinosa stole my phone quickly to snap a silly selfie before running over to his screaming fans to take even more.

Selfies All Around

Speaking of selfies… Mega-babes Andrea Russett, Lauren Elizabeth and Jenn McAllister are selfie QUEENS. I’m thinking we could all use a tutorial.

The Settle Down Kids Turned It Up

While Savana and ...

If you’re a Grammy-nominated R&B singer/actor trying to impress a girl you just met, I guess you could charter a luxury yacht for a day and take her out on the Hudson. But if you’re Mack Wilds, navigating the sometimes-choppy waters that follow cuffing season, you know that the simplest approach is often the most romantic.

Who needs big toys when you can take a free sunset ride on the Staten Island Ferry? For girls who’ve seen it all, done it all, a low-key date can spark the highest returns. And that’s just what Mack does in his new video for “My Crib,” directed by Fatima Curry and premiered Monday (June 9) on MTV.com.

The Salaam Remi and Bink-produced track off the 24-year-old’s debut album, New York: A Love Story, finds Mack enticing a lady-friend to come kick it at his place. But first, the Shaolin native tells her to meet him downtown, in New York’s Financial District, where they can link up.

In the clip, Mack and his leading lady lock hands and kick off their maritime adventure stopping for kisses on the stairway. And as the camera flashes to expansive views of the city at dusk, he croons exquisite game:

“You’re looking like the perfect love song/ Girl, you got me going with your clothes on.”

If that’s not enough to make you gush, check the just-dropped remix, featuring Pusha T.
