Watching MTV

This girl gave Tom Cruise an eye-full when he visited TRL on Monday. If you dare, click on to see a picture of her devotion. [Saggy boob alert!]

Which celeb showed up to the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich without her usual brunette ‘do? (Blonde?? WHY??)

Yesterday, Amy Winehouse won the “Artist of the Year” award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Apparently Pete Doherty talked more about rehab? Yeah, doesn’t interest me either. Read the whole story, after the jump

Which former pop star wore black nail polish to TRL recently? (Blast from the past! I’d forgotten he existed!)

Does this mean no second season?

I mean, he already lives in the country, but he’s moving to the USA network. It’s all part of his new show “Dr. Steve-O,” where he’ll journey the nation to transform wimpy boys into manly men. Seriously, that’s the show’s premise.

DR. STEVE-O will follow the adventures of one-of-a-kind personality Steve-O, a member of a dying breed of live-life-to-the-max daredevils who is disgusted with the alarming number of “wussified” men in America. He travels around the country on a mission to “de-wussify” wimps, nerds and couch potatoes who have been nominated by their buddies, girlfriends, wives, mothers, coworkers or even have nominated themselves.

Sure, it’s all fun and games until Steve-O ends up on your door step and makes you drop and give him 20. The good news is that this show is produced by Bunim/Murray productions, the same guys behind “The Real World,” “Road Rules,” and “The Simple Life.” Maybe that will redeem it?

Damn, her prison stint must have really given her a new energy, because Paris Hilton seems to be everywhere. Now, she’s taking over MTV. Though not much is currently known about the new series, there are news reports that Paris Hilton will be getting her own animated show. Check this out:

She won’t be your typical superhero. Instead of fighting crime she’ll be seen shopping in Beverly Hills, partying at Losers Lounge (a.k.a Hyde), fighting her evil nemesis (TMZ) by getting loaded and running them over with her overpriced car. But she’ll be good in the sex scenes. Must see TV indeed.

Does this sound like a hoax to anyone else? Recently, animated shows on MTV have been sidelined for reality programming. A cartoon Paris Hilton would sure be a first for the network. I’ll keep you updated.

Come back tomorrow to hear more about these stories:

• Which Hollywood socialite is getting her own new MTV show? (It’s animated!)
• Find out why Robin Thicke has been pissing off everyone and everything in his path.
• A certain awards show host is offering a shocking apology–find out everything tomorrow.

Just kidding, I even own several MTV books myself (”Real World” books, obvs). Anyway, plans were announced to publish an MTV travel guide, formally titled MTV Roadtrips U.S.A..

The book discusses each region of the country, offering local recommendations as well as general tips for potential travelers. For example, MTV recommends that you eat at Rafa’s Burritos in El Paso, Texas because the portions there are “literally as big as your arm,” and that you also call 800-FREE-411 instead of wasting your money with other expensive options.

Now, this story takes a weird turn (meaning it has a strange connection to “The Real World”). To find out what it is, click “read the rest of this entry.” See you after the jump.

As the credits rolled on a “My Super Sweet 16 Remix” yesterday, MTV aired the video for Sean Kingston’s song “Beautiful Girls.” What viewers quickly realized, however, was that the song appeared severely edited and censored. Since this video’s airdate on July 3, 2007, many fans have been wondering why the song has been so heavily edited. Below is the CENSORED video for “Beautiful Girls,” exclusively from WatchingMTV.com.

The song’s normal lyrics go like this:

You’re way too beautiful girl
That’s why it’ll never work
You’ll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it’s over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it’s over

In the edited version, the word “suicidal” is completely cut out. This word is the cornerstone of the song, so the edit job truly changes the song’s core. What do you think: is the edit fair, or is it a faulty act of censorship?

Clearly, Kristen Cavallari doesn’t have enough money already. To remedy this, she teamed up with Lasik to bring us some 20/20 sponsorship. Here’s a screenshot of the Facebook group/advertisement:

If you head over to realitylasik.com you can see all of Kristen’s Lasik adventures by watching the 9 webisodes currently available. Here’s a short snippet explaining where the hell this website came from:

Follow Kristin on her LASIK journey (and get a unique snapshot of her life). It’s a great way to get an insider’s perspective of what it’s like to have LASIK, from initial consultation to a new life without contacts or glasses.

I really have no problem with people selling out (what do you think I’m doing here!), I just had no idea that this mega promotion even existed. I’d usually say that I’ll keep you updated with this story, but I’m pretty sure that this is all there is. Let’s hope.

The VMAs are notorious as being the badass of the award shows scene. They can bring the Grammy’s to its knees with just a cold glare, and the Emmys don’t stand a chance when faced with the VMAs’ menacing… enough of that.

If you want to experience this firsthand, or even just meet SuChin Pak, you can enter this Neutrogena contest:

Neutrogena is teaming with MTV for a contest that ties into the cable TV station’s 2007 Video Music Awards.

Entrants are asked to submit 500-word essays and accompanying photos explaining their enthusiasm for the awards show to a promotional web site. Twenty finalists will be chosen to create two-minute videos in which they express a desire to be part of the Neutrogena VMA Fan Lounge at the awards show in Las Vegas on Sept 9. Ten grand-prize winners receive a trip to the event and a chance to appear on air during the show.

I know you all groaned when you read that “500-word essay” part, but I believe in you! Roll up your sleeves, get dirty (and then clean, with Neutrogena, naturally), and enter the contest.

Then, provide all your juicy scoop to me so I can blog about it.

If you’re asking yourself, “who the hell’s Trisha?”, then you obviously didn’t read close enough! (See “The Real World: Sydney”).

Anyway, here’s the brand spankin’ new picture:

And, of course, the new info:

She is adopted

She was raised in a very religious Christian family and is very close to God still.

Shr can talk more than anyone she knows but claims to listen just as well.

Her best friends gave her the nickname “Virgin Bitch” when she was in high school.

She claims to be the most fun and outgoing person you’ll ever meet and LOVE to be where the action’s at as her friends tend to wonder how she can non stop party night after night.

Is it just me, or is there a definite “Laguna Beach” vibe to this season? So far we have two super blonde, super perky (looking) girls, with the definitely possibility of more to come. Hopefully there’s some depth to these women, lest we be forced to suffer through another boring international edition of “The Real World.” I suppose we’ll see.

Or at least that’s what the rumor mill is claiming. As you may know, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt (of Laguna Beach fame) got engaged about a month ago. Even though their TV days may be in the past, these attention whores clearly can’t stay away from the spotlight.

the article offered:

“They’re madly in love, but they also have a savvy business sense,” a friend of the couple tells Star. “They love being in the spotlight and figure that their relationship would draw a big TV audience.”

I’m not really sure what to think. On the one hand, “Newlyweds” was some funny TV, but on the other (larger, smarter) hand, another “Laguna Beach” spinoff may just be overkill. What do you think?

Love all “The Real World” gossip? Want to hear more about “Rob and Big”? Well, now’s your chance to tell me. Have a go at the poll below so that I can better serve as your MTV slave.

(If the show you want to hear more about isn’t listed–and it very well may not be, there are only four choices–just comment on this post and give me a piece of your mind. Or just suggest a show for me to post about. Your choice.)
