Jersey Shore, Words Of Wisdom: “You Usually Don’t Have Sex With Your Big Brother”

js10153 recap/slideshow

The Situation was eliminated on Dancing With The Stars this week, and to make matters worse, this episode of Jersey Shore features him failing miserably with a girl from “Canadia.”

Snooki makes an incest joke, Vinny gets “pot-committed” and Pauly D comes to the realization his wingman is a total douchebag.

Gossip Cop reports MTV host and BMX star T.J. Lavin is in coma after a stunt at the Dew Tour event in Las Vegas went tragically wrong.

Obama Tells MTV Town Hall: I’m Against DADT But Must Be Removed In ‘Orderly Fashion’

Screen shot 2010-10-14 at 5.57.28 PM video

strong>President Obama had his town hall with MTV viewers this afternoon and judging by Twitter they did not go easy him. Chuck Todd notes “questions to POTUS are fascinating and challenging; Definitely not a bunch of “boxer/brief” stuff.” Not at all. A number of the questions went right to the heart of this week’s top news stories, namely DADT and childhood bullying, which schools need to take seriously.

South Park Depicts Snooki As A Terrifying, Rodent-Like Troll Creature

South Park Snooki

Last night, South Park took on Jersey Shore with all of the gleeful relish you’d imagine. Typically, when the show takes on a target this easily, they try to hit it so that the obvious jokes are eventually turned into something hilariously bizarre (see also: the Paris Hilton episode). This episode was no exception as they took their portrayal of Snooki to the extreme, depicting her as a terrifying, orange monster stalking the streets of South Park in search of “smoosh smoosh.”

Megyn Kelly And Panel Go After Obama ‘Casting Call,’ Back Stage Editor Sets Record Straight

casting_call video

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, along with a panel that included pop-culture-savvy former SC Democratic Party Chair Dick Harpootlian, weighed in on the “controversy” surrounding a “casting call” for a joint MTV/BET/CMT town hall event. While there’s undeniable entertainment value in watching Kelly rib Harpootlian’s Krakauer-esque knowledge of the Jersey Shore cast, and her shocked reaction to the “s-word” (skank), the real treat here is how badly they all bungle a central fact in this story.
Update: Back Stage National Casting Editor Luke Crowe provides additional information in a statement to Mediaite

Jersey Shore Recap: The Situation Is Guido Dexter

js5108 recap/slideshow

Well this episode of Jersey Shore didn’t gain The Situation any Dancing With The Stars votes. Instead, The Situation was exposed as erratic and jealous, and erratically jealous. Also very worn-out-baseball-glove-looking.

Recap slideshow is after the jump (complete with reference to Parker Spitzer)!

The Whole Story About Obama MTV Town Hall ‘Casting Call’ and Republican ‘Hick’ Ad

nrsc_ad video

National Review Online has discovered a “casting call” for an MTV town hall event scheduled for October 14, the implication being that this is evidence of artifice in the makeup of the audience. The notice seems to suggest that the audience for the joint MTV/BET/CMT event will be composed of actors, eliciting predictable outrage on the right. In reality, the same submission request was included in the event’s press release, invitations to colleges, and on the network websites.

Report: Justin Bieber To Host A Revamped Version Of Punk’d

Justin-Bieber_5

As Deadline Hollywood’s Nellie Andreeva says, “This is news that will probably make Twitter explode”—dreamy teen heartthrob and noted lesbian lookalike Justin Bieber is reportedly about to finalize a deal to become the host of a new version of MTV’sPunk’d. This, apparently, is not a joke.

Jersey Shore Recap: The Situation Takes The Trash Bags Out

js4101 Recap/slideshow

For the second time in a row, Angelina, aka the Staten Island Dump aka Trash Bags, left Jersey Shore before the season could come to a close. We can thank The Situation for being a jerk to her, Snooki for physically fighting her, Vinny for smushing and running and much more.

We also became keenly aware of the soon-to-be-sweeping-the-nation “It’s T-Shirt Time” song. Let’s recap.

Jersey Shore Ep 8 Recap: Vinny Appears To Be Psychologically And Emotionally Damaged

jshore_9-13a recap

On last night’s pre-VMAs episode of Jersey Shore, we got to know the person who is turning into one of the stars of season 2 – sweet, momma’s boy Vinny.

His family came to visit, and it was fun for everyone to eat a big meal and spend QT with the fam. But Vinny’s true nature was revealed in two very different interactions with women.

Train Wreck Reality TV Fans Rejoice: Real World Returns To Vegas For 25th Season

vegas_9-17 finally

MTV’s Real World season in Las Vegas back in 2002 may have been the best non-Jersey Shore season of reality television ever.

Jersey Shore Recap, Ep 6: The Situation Will Flip Pancakes While People Punch Themselves

js893 recap/slideshow

The epic sixth episode of Jersey Shore was a Seaside Heights roller-coaster filled with sex and violence, food and drink (and a tranny situation).

The Situation, who was the breakout star of season one, will now incomprehensibly be on Dancing With The Stars and has a nickname for his nickname (“Sitch”), was mostly a bit player this year. Until his breakout performance last night – which he summed up with a perfect analogy about his philosophy on life.

Jersey Shore Episode 5 Recap: The Note, The Situation, The Hippopotamus

js4827 recap/slideshow

Jersey Shore‘s fifth episode began with a 10-second scene featuring Jwoww and her breasts. She’s staring at herself in the mirror, maneuvering her fake mammaries when a disapproving glare comes across her usually blank face.

They aren’t perky enough apparently, or large enough, or something. Saying more in that look than if she attempted to formulate a sentence to describe her emotion at the time, we enter episode five. Let’s recap the shitshow.

Jersey Shore Episode Three Recap: Ronnie Is On…Something

js9 yes, slideshow

Sleep with one eye open Sammi! Ronnie is creeping and you think he just wants to smush you. This is not, sadly, the case, Sweetheart.

We need to talk about this, and other Situations. But really, what’s the deal with this Ronnie character?

Wyclef Jean’s Former Bandmate Endorses Wyclef’s Opponent In Haiti Election

Musician Wyclef Jean is running for President of Haiti, and the campaign has already drawn criticism from actor and activist Sean Penn.

How could this get stranger? Well Pras, formerly of The Fugees with Wyclef, has come out and endorsed…Wyclef’s rival.

Jersey Shore Recap, Ep. 2: “Snooki Night” Aftermath And A Pathetic Angelina Slap

sitch_8-6 video

We live in a country now where someone named Jwoww can tell five million people on TV about a certain guy from Long Island who goes by the name Jay 420, and you can then find out exactly what Jay 420 thinks of the mention. And also – he goes by Dr. Jay 420…he didn’t go through years of 420 school to have you drop the Dr.

Also this week we learned about the IFF (not to be confused with the GFA) and how to have a “Snooki Night.”

This Exists: “Jesus Shore” Concert To Counter The Evil MTV Hit Jersey Shore

Jesus Shore

Apparently making lame puns off of the names of popular TV shows is no longer the sole domain of porn producers and Mad Magazine writers, as some church groups have gotten into the game too. Unhappy with the way the Garden State is portrayed in the hit MTV show Jersey Shore, a group of Jersey faithful have created “Jesus Shore,” a Christian themed concert which attempted to show another side of the debauched beach. “Jesus Shore” tried to save fans of the reality series from the fiery pits of Hell where, we can only presume, they were headed to get a sweet tan.

Snooki’s Been Arrested! In Other News: Season Three Has Its Hook!

Snooki

Breaking news (or a Friday in the middle of the summer’s version of breaking news)! Snooki AKA Nicole Polizzi AKA the inspiration costume contest winners at “Remember the Aughts” costume parties for years to come, has been arrested. While details of the arrest are still slim, we can only presume that the MTV star has finally been brought to justice for stealing America’s heart.

Jersey Shore Returns! Angelina Is “Classy,” Ronnie Is “Sloppy Joe”

angelina_7-30 recap

Jersey Shore is back, and the crew of non-Jerseyites have moved south to Miami, bitch (that will happen all season).

Yesterday we worried if self-awareness would pervade the show, and the fact that the four biggest stars (Jwoww, Snooki, The Situation and Pauly D) were barely involved in the episode one plot proved it true so far. But the crew still made a big mess, so all was forgiven.

Sumner Redstone Leaves Reporter Creepy Voicemail Promising Not To ‘Kill’ Anonymous MTV Source

url audio

Viacom head Sumner Redstone is furious with claims that his new pet project, a Pussycat Dolls-esque pop band/reality TV package called the Electric Barbarellas, is terrible. After Daily Beast senior correspondent Peter Lauria wrote a report that Redstone is trying to “force” MTV to promote the band in a new reality show, Redstone left an ominous voicemail on the writer’s office phone asking for the identity of the source that leaked him the story.

Former Real World Cast Member Eyeing Wisconsin Congress Seat

real world boston

Remember The Real World: Boston? Like every other season of the show, it had its OMG moments – like when roomie Montana got accused of giving children alcohol! OMG! And now, thirteen years after it first aired, the show has produced yet another shocker: cast member Sean Duffy (the conservative Republican one thrown into the house to act as a foil to all that MTV liberalism) is set to run for Congress in Wisconsin, and has a good chance of winning.

AOL’s Cambio: YouTube Was Just A “Rough Draft”

Cambio Screenshot

In recent years, AOL has faced some hard times. Ever since its merger with Time Warner Cable in 2001 (and its subsequent separation 8 years later), AOL has seen drastic reductions in company value and number of subscribers. But tomorrow, AOL will attempt to reassert itself in the online world with the launch of its new video project, Cambio.

MTV On The Hunt For A TJ! (Twitter Jockey)

MTV has reportedly begun the search for the network’s first Twitter Jockey, an internet savvy individual who will act as a liaison between MTV viewers and executives via the eponymous social networking site. Duties include reporting on MTV events, interacting with the audience through tweets, and sporadically crawling away from the computer to appear on screen.

Watch Every F**king F-Bomb Said Live On The Air At The MTV Movie Awards

wahlberg_6-6 F**K

The MTV executives must have had a meeting before this year’s Movie Awards that came to this conclusion – have the celebrities curse freely, we’ll just bleep it out as it happens. Plus, we have a good Orbit gum tie-in with the British lady pretending to do the bleeping.

What could possibly go wrong? How about a lot of f-bombs getting broadcast, with the bleep coming late or not at all.
