If you happen to be a celebrity (I mean, it’s a possibility), you should probably watch your back. Why? Because on March 29th, Punk’d is back on MTV. Ashton Kutcher is still the executive producer of the show, but he has handed over the hosting responsibilities to young celebrities like Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Kellan Lutz. And there’s a long list of celebs who will be made into fools on national TV – Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Lauren Conrad, Snooki, and more.

Is Punk’d still going to be funny? Have they run out of tricks? Only time will tell. But to celebrate the return of the prank show, we’ve rounded up the 12 best Punk’ds of all time. Check it out. Read More »

“I’m a dancer.” “Well today, in rehearsal…” “Sorry, I can’t, I have dance.”

In any short conversation with me, you’re bound to hear at least one of those phrases. I’ve been dancing since I was three years old, and I’m still pursuing the dream I had as a little girl to dance professionally. I’m a modern dancer, which is why I was excited to hear that on this season of MADE, MTV will be making Laura Crow into a modern dancer! This is how MTV describes the episode:

Laura Crow is a hardworking perfectionist struggling with body issues as well as her relationship with her father. Now she’s ready to move past her problems and express how she really feels by being MADE into a Modern Dancer.

Uh oh. There we go: body issues. Eating disorders seem to have become an integral part of our culture’s idea of what it means to be a dancer. In just about every Hollywood movie about dancers, at least one of them has an eating disorder. The most recent example of this is Black Swan, in which Natalie Portman’s character is bulimic. Not to mention the fact that both Portman and Mila Kunis ran around for months talking about how skinny they got for their roles. Read More »

Whether you consider yourself a Republican or a Democrat, Independent or blissfully unaware, one thing’s for certain when it comes to President Barack Obama: the man can sing. While speaking at a fundraiser at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater, Obama belted a couple phrases of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” and even the original soul singer is in shock from what he heard.

Surprise, surprise: Thursday’s season five premiere of Jersey Shore collected a million viewers less than the first episode of last season, when the cast was in Italy. Some people argue that they’re sick of watching these same eight people, I argue that there’s too many extraneous characters to keep track of, especially if you’ve just tuned in…seriously, everyone looks incredibly similar!

Don’t worry, this will clear everything up. Meet all the extra people that keep stealing the airtime away from Sammi Sweetheart, The Situation, Snooki and the rest of the original cast. Once viewers are all up to speed, these guidettes and gorillas will remain on the air as long as the Kardashians do!

Oh reality TV, how you have gotten me through many a rough patch in my life, many a break up, many a late night binge fest…really any low point in my life. I’ve been with you since the first Real World appeared on MTV, to the horrible escapades of a young Jessica Simpson, I’ve seen it all.

However, in the last year or two you’ve taken a turn for the worst. For instance, how could you let the regular fame hungry people who star in your shows rub elbows with Justin Timberlake…I’m sorry but that just isn’t right. Not one bit.

In hopes to rekindle my love with you, I’ve prepared a list of my favorite old shows, some of which are still on the air. Let us please forget the mistake of letting the Kardashians’ have ten shows, seeing Jon get hair plugs and giving people who spray tan daily their own show. Read More »

The Hills are back! But hopefully in a version I won’t be ashamed to tell people I watch. Turns out MTV is launching a new series this October called Heroine (the name is a bit much, the girl’s not saving the world, or Anna Wintour) about a Pittsburgh gal, Chelsea Settles,  who is moving to Los Angeles to make it in the fashion world. With similar aspirations as me, in a similarly unfashionable predicament (read:college in Pittsburgh) I know I will be tuning into the show. There’s no way I’ll be able to resist and who am I to ever turn down a MTV reality series?!

As long as there are no plastic surgery crazies or people with really annoying voices (still love you whit!) I think the show should could be pretty promising. I don’t think it’s over doing the fashion thing, because how much work did we really see LC do at teen vogue and People’s Rev?

Also, MTV isn’t placing Chelsea into a job so we’ll watch her  attempt to make it, at least partially, on her own. I think we can all use a little inspiration for our upcoming stunts into the read world. That in itself is reason enough to launch a realty show. Especially in the impossible-to-break-into fashion industry.

Let’s just hope she doesn’t turn down a trip to Paris… no one can live that down.

Are you going to watch?? Do you think we have TOO many shows about people trying to “make it”?

The Jersey Shore producers are headin’ to dixieland. But before you southern gals get your perfect panties in a bunch, don’t worry Snookie and The Situation aren’t rolling to town. Instead, it will be a whole new cast of southern belles and gents aiming to get famous off of drunken (but oh-so-classy, we are in the south, after all) shenanigans. So get out your finest Lilly dress and matching hair bow, casting begins this summer and producers are on the hunt for the proudest southerners who want to “Party their asses off on the sickest reality show during one big Crawfish peelin’, Poboy eatin’, Bourgbon drinkin’, Dixie lovin’ bayou summer.” …I wish I even knew what that meant.

Naturally, I’ll be tuning in whenever this show airs. I am not ashamed to admit I have a soft spot for southern men (and that sexy accent). However, I know this is likely to piss a lot of people off and play up some serious stereotypes. Here are the groups that I think are at risk. Read More »

And the latest in completely expected and not at all shocking news? Teen Mom ‘s Jenelle Evans headed to rehab this week (read all about it here) to get away from all the stress of her life and learn how to cope.  Not that she doesn’t have anything she’s rehabilitating from, that is. Her trip to rehab comes right after Evans pleaded guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia, but apparently Evans has been clean for weeks now and just needs some time to get her priorities in order.

Right.

If anyone has ever seen an episode of Teen Mom, it’s probably no surprise that Evans ended up in rehab. The girl couldn’t stop partying to take care of her own kid, got arrested with drugs on her and stole from her mom to take a road trip with her freeloading boyfriend. But with this latest development in an ongoing saga of reality shows gone wrong we couldn’t help but think back to a question we posed not too long ago: Should MTV be doing More for Their Teen Moms?

Worried that the fourth season of The Jersey Shore to be filmed in Italy will be the last? Well, worry not more. Because there’s one Jerseyite that won’t be leaving MTV just yet. According to PopEater, The Situation has signed a deal with MTV to film a yet undetermined pilot. But viewers should expect to see the show on their TVs within the next year.

So I guess that mean’s there’s only one thing left to do CollegeCandies…Take bets on exactly what this new pilot will consist of. (Besides Mike walking around shirtless for the whole episode, that is.)

Let’s look at our options, shall we? We’ve got the obvious workout show. The Situation teaches guys and gals how to get their own situation going on, full of music-riddled montages and lots and lots of protein shakes. Or we’ve got the dating show. Sort of like Tila Tequila’s Shot at Love only trashier, if that’s even possible.  Or maybe not so much a dating show as a “let’s see how many girls The Situation can sexually assault in one night” sort of thing? Or maybe even something where he dates all those girls he calls grenades and realizes that they’re actually really great gals?

Okay, maybe not that last one, but the rest of them seem like pretty realistic options, don’t you think? I mean, what else could a show staring  Mike Sorrentino be about? Leave us a comment with your suggestions!

So I was browsing through the ridiculous number of blogs I visit daily, catching up on the celeb gossip and entertainment, when I came across this post. Now, I like to consider myself a bit of a pop culture connoisseur. I know my celebrities. My TV. My gossip. My entertainment. I know who the next big thing is before they even do and I’m proud of it. So the fact that I had no idea who this girl was until I caught a glimpse of the Teen Mom headline is really saying something. Partly that I need to spend less time doing homework and more time watching MTV, but also that just about anyone who flouts around on the beach in a bikini can get themselves a blog post today.

I mean Jenelle Evans? Does that name ring a bell with anyone? Does she sound like a celebrity to any of you? No?

That’s because she’s not. But yet she was on Celebuzz.com. Apparently there seems to be this misguided notion nowadays that  if you appear on a reality TV show you automatically reach celebrity status. But that’s  just not how it works. Or, at least that’s not how it should work.
