Dolly Parton knows you might think her goddaughter is trashy.

Indeed, while the more conservative out there may see videos of Miley Cyrus riding an inflatable penis or twerking on a horse and shake their heads, the 68-year-old country music legend totally gets it.

Namely because she’s been through it all before. In an interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times, Parton says she completely identifies with the place Miley’s at in her career.

“Back in the day, doing my own things my own way, and dressing sexy and showing my cleavage and all that, I got a lot of criticism,” she said Lots of people thought I was making a mistake and that I was just trashy, which I was. So I did go through that, but I don’t give her advice. Everyone has to walk this journey according to their own rules. That’s what she’s doing. And I lurve her.”

In fact, Dolly thinks Miley’s persona is rather clever — saying it’s all part of a very clear message she’s trying to communicate.

“I’ve watched her grow up,” Parton says. “She’s a smart girl. She had to go to extremes to get her point across. I think she got the point across.”

There’s nothing like staring at a man in uniform to kick off the work week, right? In honor of MTV2′s new series, “Off the Bat from the MLB Fan Cave,” we’ll be spotlighting one of the sexiest sluggers in the game every Monday. Here, overall stats, batting averages and team standings don’t dictate whether or not a player gets picked — see below for why this week’s pro made the MLB Crush Monday cut!

Now that it’s beach season and all of the boys have their bods on display, you can treat yourself to a piece of man candy any day of the week, so today marks our final installment of MLB Crush Monday. But don’t worry, because you can see plenty more sexy pros every Tuesday night on MTV2′s “Off the Bat” at 11/10c…or, you know, at an actual baseball game or whatever.

Our last sizzling slot goes to none other than Milwaukee Brewer outfielder Carlos Gomez, who’s appearing on this week’s show. And here are five reasons why this born and bred Dominican slugger is muy caliente:

1. He’s a pro-ball prodigy.
In 2007, Carlos made his major league debut at the age of 21, making him the youngest player in the National League at the time.

2. Real men wear pink.
Not many dudes have the confidence to rock a rose-colored necklace (or neon-bright facial hair, for that matter). But Carlos wore pastel ...

If you have a good head on your shoulders and heart that’s true, then we know that you’re going to love hearing Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd make repeated sexual innuendos while on the set of their new rom-com sendup, “They Came Together.”

Which, if you’ll notice, is an innuendo itself. They can’t even name a movie without a wink at the audience, folks.

MTV News visited the set of the film to yuk it up with Rudd and Poehler ahead of the film’s June 27 release date to see what we could find out about the movie, which is directed by “Wet Hot American Summer” head David Wain.

“It’s kind of subversive and a little bit meta at times,” Rudd explained of the movie, which stars the duo as a couple falling in love — and falling into all the typical tropes of a romantic comedy.

“It’s pretty dumb,” Poehler added.

“Yeah, it’s ridiculous,” Rudd said. “It’s pretty stupid.”

If the traditional gift for a one-year wedding anniversary is paper, here’s hoping Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari have a knack for origami!

The man and wife, who officially wed last June 8, celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary yesterday. And K-Cav couldn’t help but gush over the memory by posting the above photo to her Instagram account. Time to bust into the freezer for the cake’s top tier!

The couple, who are parents to two sons, Camden and Jaxon, seem to have Cleaver-level coupledom figured out. But the road to marriage was a bumpy one: Last year, Kristin admitted that she blew Jay off the first time he asked her out. But after much persistence, he won her over, and by April 2011, they were engaged.

But in the summer of 2011, just three months after Kristin accepted Jay’s proposal, the two called off their wedding. The news tore through the “Hills” universe like a hurricane, but the couple proved to be a force greater than nature when they reconciled by December of that year.

Finally, last June, the couple legalized their commitment while surrounded by 150 guests at the Woodmont Christian Church in Nashville. We always knew K-Cav would be a summer bride…

Now, Jay and Kristin seem to be livin’ the dream, and their lil’ family of four is nothing short of picturesque. Congrats, you two!

Despite what Iggy Azalea’s recent comments to Billboard may have suggested, the “Fancy” rapper and Lorde are still totally tight — and they both still really don’t like the media.

Days after Iggy called Lorde’s tribute to Nirvana “inappropriate,” she took to Twitter to scold the media for painting her comments as a slam against the “Royals” singer.

“I consider lorde my very talented friend,” she wrote on Monday (June 9). “I find it ironic 2 girls tell the media theyre full of sh– & weeks later supposedly I dislike her.”

In her cover story, Iggy told the magazine that she didn’t think the New Zealand-born singer should have been included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute — one that united her with Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic as well as Joan Jett, Kim Gordon and St. Vincent — because “Lorde is not Kurt Cobain’s peer.”

But, as she clarified on Monday, that doesn’t mean she has something against Lorde herself.

“My opinion on the makings of a touching musical tribute wasn’t meant as some back door way to take a dig at her or the performance she gave. sorry if it came across that way, it’s not what I intended & I feel genuinely bad about it because I still think lorde is an awesome chick,” she added. “And I just don’t want to world thinking I don’t support the girls, because I do! Anyway I’m off to paint my kitchen! Lots of love.”

50 Cent still denies being involved in the chain-snatching incident that took place at Hot 97′s Summer Jam concert, but this story just keeps going. Slowbucks launched an official investigation into the robbery last week, 50 took as free reign to clown him on social media — and during a live show this weekend.

Slow (who is CEO and co-owner of the Slowbucks clothing brand) held a press conference in New York City last week where he alleged that 50 Cent was trying to hurt his brand with the robbery.

Fifty has continued to deny that he was behind the fiasco, but he did take the time to call out Slow during G-Unit’s reunion show in New York on Sunday night, telling the crowd, “I want everyone to get home safe, because there’s so much police in here courtesy of Slowbucks.”

Naturally, the news got back to Slowbucks — who didn’t appreciate being called a snitch — so he tried to air 50 out on Instagram. It didn’t exactly work, however.

On Monday (June 9), he posted a photo of himself and 50 — who is is wearing a police badge in the photo — with the caption, “This n%a 50 aka 5-0 got some nerve! Who shot me? You think it was Preme, Freeze or TahTah? (Lord 4 Give Me, 4 I’ve Sin, Over & Over Again Just 2 Stay On Top).”

If he was expecting any support, he got a lot of the opposite, ...

Listen, sometimes it can be really, really, super hard to separate an actor from the persona that they play on, say, a TV show or movie franchise. For many watching the 68th Annual Tony Awards last night (June 8), it must have been a bit of a departure to see Neil Patrick Harris, erstwhile star of nine seasons of CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother,” don sky-high platforms, a blonde wig and a gallon or so of body glitter to perform a number from Broadway’s “Hedwig and the Angry Inch.”

Harris totally owns the role of the glam-rock songwriter left with “an angry inch” after a botched gender reassignment surgery in communist Berlin, which is why he won the Tony for Best Actor In A Musical for his work later in the night. However, nine seasons of a show really make an impression on a person, so we couldn’t help but wonder what the legen-waitforit-dary Barney Stinson would think of Harris’ all-out performance as Hedwig.

Lauren may not have the social pull she’d hoped for as Hester High School’s newest student on “Faking It,” but at least she’s got the unwavering (albeit grudging) support of Lisbeth.

Sure, her pal’s name is actually Elizabeth. And sure, Elizabeth would probably be happier hanging with friends who weren’t so darn critical. But Lisbeth remains Lauren’s lackey, and in an admittedly weird way, we’re kind of glad she does. IT’S CALLED COMEDIC RELIEF, PEOPLE!

From the moment that Lauren demanded Lisbeth prepare her ideal between-class tanning spot, the girls’ dynamic was clear — one has led, and the other has followed. Still, Lisbeth’s the one who spilled the beans about Lauren’s alleged pill addiction on last week’s episode…so can she still be trusted to serve as Lauren’s second-in-command?

We’ll ponder that question while you take a look at some of our favorite LisGIFs, below. And be sure to catch the “Faking It” season finale tomorrow night at 10:30/9:30c!

Aside from being the man behind Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill holds another distinct honor in the world of geek culture. He also voiced the Joker on the fan-favorite “Batman: The Animated Series” and many other iterations of the classic villain.

And at Star Wars Weekends this year, he brought the two together, and it’s amazing the audiences’ brains didn’t melt.

It seems like there’s a bit of a bromance going on between Ed Sheeran and Pharrell.

The two teamed up to create Ed’s lead single “Sing,” off his upcoming album, Multiply, and during the MTV documentary “Nine Days and Nights of Ed Sheeran,” we see the two singing each other’s praises.

In a clip released on Monday (June 9) from the doc, which airs Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET on MTV, Pharrell and Ed are taking a break on the set of the “Sing” video.

“When I first met you I was like, ‘Oh man, I want to work with this kid. I see something, he’s incredible,’ Pharrell said. “I was like ‘Man, just let me get in the studio with this guy.”

Ed seems to have a hard time coming to the realization that the “Happy” singer was so eager to work with him, admitting that he was “a little bit confused.”

“I went in that morning and checked iTunes and #1 was “Get Lucky” and #2 was “Blurred Lines” and I was like I’m sure he’s got somewhere more important to be than in the studio with me,” Ed said in the clip.

Ed’s MTV documentary brings his fans on a journey as he takes you behind-the-scenes of his hometown, discusses his rise to fame and releases his new single.

But that’s not all, Sheerios: After you watch the documentary, immediately switch over to MTV.com and catch Ed live, in studio, for a 30-minute “Live From MTV” livestream at 12 a.m. ET.
