‘You Don’t Deserve That’: Will Alyssa — And Her Baby — Be Treated Right On Siesta Key?
Alyssa was “ready to forgive” Alex for hooking up with Juliette “several several times” in Nashville. And during this week’s episode, the Siesta Key newbie learned she would soon be a mom with the King of Sarasota. First order of business for Alyssa: telling her parents Allison and Nick that they would soon be grandparents (viewers saw the rekindled lovebirds react to positive pregnancy tests at the end of last season as well). Nope, this isn’t the time for Rosé — and yes, Mom, this is “serious.” With her heart pounding, Alyssa simply nodded as her mother asked if she was pregnant. While Dad got up immediately to give his girl a big embrace and a hearty “I love you,” Mom was concerned for her daughter. “I’m still...

BTS Inspired A ‘Huge K-pop Song’ In Darren Criss’s New Show Royalties
By Sam Manzella Darren Criss is a huge fan of K-pop, and he doesn’t care who knows. In a recent interview with MTV in which he detailed his top musical inspirations, the Assassination of Gianni Versace star revealed he frequently turns to K-pop greats like BTS and Blackpink for inspiration. In fact, there’s actually a “huge K-pop song” featured in Royalties, his new comedy series from Quibi satirizing the world of songwriting. “There’s this just sort of outrageousness and just in your face-ness to those songs, which are always really cool and sophisticated,” Criss told MTV. The Glee alum added that he listens to “a lot” of K-pop, and he thinks superfans will really appreciate his nods to the genre as Pierce, his Royalties alter-ego. Each episode of the series, in which Criss stars alo...

It’s time to rock out — then put your shirt over your head. Beavis and Butt-Head, which premiered on MTV back in 1993, quickly became a force in pop culture and started a television revolution with its pure, unadulterated, satirical commentary on youth and adolescence. The unprecedented concept, featuring two teenage couch potatoes, immediately became part of the vernacular in a way no other adult animated series had before. Known for tackling social issues including teen obesity, workers’ rights and media trends, the show connected with ...

Mythbusters Host Adam Savage Accused of Sexually Abusing His Sister
Mythbusters co-host Adam Savage has been accused of “repeatedly” sexually abusing his own sister. In a lawsuit filed in New York, sister Miranda Pacchiana alleged that Savage sexually assaulted her “repeatedly over the course of several years.” According to a lengthy post on her blog, The Second Wound, the abuse began when he was just nine years old and she was only seven. “As a child, this experience shook my sense of safety and crushed my self-confidence,” Pacchiana, a writer and social worker, recounted. “For decades afterward, I dealt with periods of depression and near-constant anxiety. These symptoms interfered with all aspects of my life, stunting my career aspirations, and robbing me of countless simple pleasures.” While it’s been over 40 years since the alleged abuse started, Pacc...

‘I Regret That I Ever Slept With You’: Is Marissa Really Done With Brandon On Double Shot?
So much for “bros night all night” — and a Double Shot at Love wedding featuring Brandon and Marissa. During tonight’s brand-new episode, Brandon, Nicky and Antonio attempted to go out sans the girls (B-Lashes and Derynn opted to stay in post-jumping in the pool after the gang’s first day of work at Drai’s). But the plan to divert the ladies elsewhere and party without them backfired — and soon “you lying a** bitch” Brandon found himself in a precarious situation with Marissa. And it doesn’t look like there will be any more “sexy time” between the two. First, Brandon approached Maria and told her, “You’re looking super sexy with these little pigtail things you got going on.” Maria, not Marissa. But Ma...
