This Woman Got Ghosted By Her BFF From Middle School
Naimah and Maher became pals in middle school back in 2006, but now the latter is a ghost. And Rachel Lindsay and Travis Mills are going to help Naimah find out why Maher vanished. In a sneak peek of tonight’s brand-new Ghosted: Love Gone Missing episode — which is part of MTV’s special “Love Gone Wrong” week — Naimah gives the co-hosts the background on her perplexing situation. “In January 2017, I sent an email to Maher, and I never got a response. But I didn’t think anything of it,” she said of her buddy, who she met in the seventh grade. “It wasn’t until the following year that I kept actively searching for him. This was October 2018. He wasn’t coming up on Facebook or Instagram, and he wasn’t responding to m...
Fox Orders New Dan Harmon Animated Series Set in Ancient Greece
Dan Harmon, the off-kilter comedy mind behind Community and Rick and Morty, will be taking his talents to ancient Greece. Via The Hollywood Reporter, Fox has given a series order to Harmon’s new animated series and put it on the schedule for 2022. The as-yet untitled show will feature all sorts of strange things out of mythology, including Olympic deities, monstrous creatures, and a functioning democracy. Reportedly, it “centers on a family of humans, gods and monsters that tries to run one of the world’s first cities without killing each other.” In a statement, Fox Entertainment president Michael Thorn spoke about the show’s “irreverent” tone and satirical ambitions, writing, “Leave it to Dan Harmon to turn the mythos of early Greek civilization into remarkably sharp commentary ...
The Falcon and the Winter Solider Wield Captain America’s Shield in Super Bowl Trailer: Watch
Now that we know how awesome the Disney+ side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is going to be thanks to WandaVision, hype for the rest of the streamer’s slate is at a fever pitch. That made the Super Bowl the perfect time to unleash the new trailer for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the latest preview, we get to see what the relationship between Sam Wilson/The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) is like in the wake of Captain America retiring. As could be expected, it’s playfully contentious, with the latter not a fan of the former’s blithe approach to superheroing. Of course, it’s the Falcon who now wields Cap’s shield (and he does a bunch in this trailer), but that doesn’t mean Bucky won’t have an opinion on how he handles it. They’ll have ...
Bruce Springsteen Appears in First-Ever Commercial for Jeep’s Super Bowl Ad: Watch
Bruce Springsteen isn’t normally one for a corporate sponsorship deal, as he’s long resisted requests to appear in commercials throughout his career. But hey, it’s 2021, and anything freakin’ goes, so the Boss signed on to take part in Jeep’s new Super Bowl ad, which premiered online ahead of the Big Game. Apparently, Olivier François, the global chief marketing officer at Jeep parent company Stellantis, has been after the Boss for a decade. “Olivier François and I have been discussing ideas for the last 10 years,” said Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau in a statement (via Rolling Stone), “and when he showed us the outline for ‘The Middle,’ our immediate reaction was, ‘Let’s do it.’” Even so, Bruce himself didn’t agree to appear in the ad until just last month, meaning production had ...
SNL Top Highlights: Dan Levy Charms In Hosting Debut
Since kicking off Season 46 last fall, Saturday Night Live has been running closer to business-as-usual than almost any other late-night show during the pandemic. Still, if you look closely, there are differences: Their audience size has been reduced, which has often made studio reactions more muted; the schedule has featured more episodes in a row and yet longer breaks in between; and the host bookings feel less tethered to the usual promotional cycles of big movies, TV show premieres, and awards season. Case in point: 10 months after Schitt’s Creek ended, four months after the show’s historic Emmys sweep, and two months after his co-starring role in Hulu’s Happiest Season, Dan Levy took a victory lap this week with his first Saturday Night Live hosting gig. In other words, he wasn’t real...
Timothée Chalamet is Edward Scissorhands’ Son in New Super Bowl Commercial: Watch
Timothée Chalamet stars as Edward Scissorhands’ son, Edgar Scissorhands, in a new Super Bowl commercial for Cadillac. The Dune actor is joined by Winona Ryder, who famously starred as Kim Boggs in Tim Burton’s original Edgar Scissorhands movie. Young Edgar faces many of the same challenges as his famous pops. Throughout the 60-second advert, he mistakenly cuts a bus pull chord, pops a football, and disrupts a school science presentation (fuckin’ magnets, how do they work?). He is, however, a talented sandwich maker, and thanks to Cadillac’s hands-free driving technology, he’s also able to drive a car. Compared to most high-priced Super Bowl ads staring A-list talent, Chalamet’s Edgar Scissorhands certainly hits the mark. And with original star Johnny Depp currently in Hollywood e...
Challenge Skull-Swiping: Will Any More Men Qualify For The Final?
“There are no more men’s Gold Skulls.” Challenge host TJ Lavin’s words struck a handful of remaining competitors like stones on the latest Double Agents episode, in which Josh earned his first elimination round win over rookie Mechie in “Asset Destruction II.” And with the win, Josh secured the fifth Gold Skull among the men and the final men’s spot in the Season 36 finale. “To be the guy that gets the last Skull — it just feels so good,” he said through tears. Still, that doesn’t mean the final Double Agents roster is set in stone. Four other men still have the chance to earn entry to the final mission by swiping Skulls, thus eliminating already eligible players. So will Fessy, Leroy, Kyle, Devin and Josh be able to hang on to their Gold Skulls, or will CT, Darrell, Cory of Nam — no...
Will Amber Move On To Gary’s Teen Mom OG Property?
Amber’s relationship with Gary and Kristina has “grown” through the years — so is the next step living together on the same property? The background behind the idea: The mother of two went on probation 15 months ago and has one year remaining. During this time, Amber moved into a rental house while Andrew and James live in her home. This arrangement made Gary think of another alternative, which would help with the distance (Amber lives about an hour away in Indianapolis) and Leah’s mom being alone. “What if we put something out here?” Gary posed to Kristina about their vast rural land. “We could do a modular home and have Amber rent it because she’s already paying so much for this place in Indy.” “Would you want her here 24/...
Archbishop Sam Zuga: CBN lacks power to stop cryptocurrency
Archbishop Sam Zuga has reacted to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) new order on Cryptocurrency. The Apex bank had directed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and other financial institutions to close accounts of persons who are using their systems for cryptocurrency trading.

This is is not news. It has been like this since the beginning of Cryptocurrency. But right n...
‘Plan D’: Dr. Drew Is The ‘Last Resort’ To Get The Jersey Shore Family Back Together
Dr. Drew has a storied history on MTV — from hosting the always drama-filled Teen Mom reunions to answering relationship-themed calls on Loveline. But can the addiction specialist help Angelina and Jenni squash their beef and help bring the Jersey Shore family back together? After a tension-filled, awkward funeral dinner, desperate times called for desperate measures (the mediation, double booking and gathering around the table just wasn’t working). Enter Ronnie’s deep contact list — and a professional to execute the “last resort.” “I have Dr. Drew’s number,” he told Vinny. “When I was going through that sh*t, he connected me and helped me find the treatment center.” The “good dude” called Ronnie back while he wa...

What WandaVision’s “Very Special Episode” Reveal Means for the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The following editorial is heavy on spoilers… Previously On WandaVision… Though Disney+’s WandaVision has already carved a niche for itself as a risk-taking series unlike anything the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has attempted before, the spinoff series’ most recent installment delivered a reveal in the final seconds of this week’s episode that completely redefines the possibilities in the MCU. “On a Very Special Episode…” — WandaVision’s longest outing yet with nearly double the runtime of the four prior episodes — saw Darcy Lewis (Kat Jenning), Jimmy Woo (Randall Park), and the newly-returned Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) try to find a way in to Westview, the town that Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) has turned into her own fever-dream version of classic sitcoms. With Monica’s...
