| Teen Choice Awards Highlights Include 'Twilight,' Host Katy Perry Posted: 09 Aug 2010 05:01 AM PDT 'Step Up 3D' dancers and performances by Travie McCoy and Jason Derúlo also stand out during show, which airs Monday night.
UNIVERSAL CITY, California -- Compared with the sensation caused by Miley Cyrus' saucy performance of "Party in the USA" at last year's Teen Choice Awards, the 2010 show was pretty tame. With 85.5 million votes cast, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and "Eclipse" took home the most awards (15 in total). Just like any other awards show, the reason to tune in when the show airs Monday night (August 9) on Fox is to catch a glimpse of your favorite stars, and the 2010 Teen Choice Awards certainly delivered big names. Attendees and winners included: Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Megan Fox, Channing Tatum, Sandra Bullock and David Beckham, just to name a few.
Beginning with host Katy Perry and co-hosts/ "Glee" co-stars Cory Monteith, Mark Salling, Kevin McHale and Chris Colfer, any time Perry took the stage with one of the boys, they played to a recurring theme of revisiting high school and being in a "Teenage Dream," which involved costume changes into different stereotypes: jock, nerd, hippie, prom king and queen. Other show highlights included killer live performances: The two best were by the "Step Up 3D" dancers, who wowed the crowd with acrobatics and crazy dance moves and, later in the show, Bruno Mars and Travie McCoy's high-energy rendition of "Billionaire." Jason Derülo also get style points for opening his "In My Head" number sporting light-up shoes and MJ-inspired moves. Sandra Bullock's acceptance of Choice Movie Actress (for her performances in "The Blind Side" and "The Proposal") and Choice Movie Dance was another key moment because she involved her "Proposal" and dance-sequence co-star, Betty White. Bullock taunted White to come onstage, and the spry 88-year-old responded by shimmy-ing her way to Bullock, and they shared a freestyle dance moment together, which delighted the crowd. Another acceptance-speech-related highlight was Taylor Swift's remote thank you for her award. Swift appeared in a taped message wearing a wet suit, Teen Choice Award surfboard in hand, and literally jumped into a lake with the board, attempting to surf on it, sans waves or ocean. In addition to expected ear-splitting screams for Pattinson and Lautner, Choice Male Athlete David Beckham earned a healthy share of his own. Not only that, but to accept his surfboard, he brought his three sons onstage with him, and at the end, they tossed Beckham-signed soccer balls into the crowd. Awww. The show ended with the very sizable casts of "New Moon" and "Eclipse" onstage to send a group thank you to their Most Obsessive Fans. Are you looking forward to the Teen Choice Awards? What are you most excited to see? Let us know in the comments! Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |
| Selena Gomez, Lucy Hale Are Fashion Winners At Teen Choice Awards Posted: 08 Aug 2010 06:44 AM PDT Neutral hues dominate the blue carpet at awards show, which airs Monday night on Fox.
Fans curious about which stars took home surfboards from the Teen Choice Awards will have to wait until Monday (August 9), when the event is broadcast on Fox. But we've already selected the winners and losers from the show's blue carpet, where the night's invited guests parade their fashion choices for the evening. For the ladies, the evening's preferred color palette was anything neutral, including midnight blacks and pearly whites. "Ramona and Beezus" star Selena Gomez was among the style standouts, wearing a white dress with flowy sleeves that were complemented by soft waves in her hair. "Eclipse" star Ashley Greene also shifted into neutral for the evening, wearing a light pink dress that had lace detailing. (There was also a ring on her left ring finger — wonder what that's all about?) Also putting a spin on the trend was "Pretty Little Liars" actress Lucy Hale, whose little black dress was accented by a sparkly blue mosaic on the bust and gold buckles on the straps and at the waist. Though many fashion experts would argue that you can't go wrong with an LBD, a couple of actresses' outfits provided a counterpoint to that theory. "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" star Shailene Woodley looked downright dowdy in her shredded-sleeve black dress and upswept bun; the button-festooned black frock worn by Katerina Graham from "The Vampire Diaries" was also a head-scratcher. The starlets who did eschew the night's black and white theme opted for rich, jewel-toned hues. "Victorious" actress Victoria Justice matched the blue carpet in her cute strapless dress. Fivel Stewart, the sister of "Eclipse" actor Booboo Stewart, sported a sheer-sleeved frock with a colorful, doily-type embroidery around the neckline. Several "Glee" gals were harmonious in their choice for rich shades; Amber Riley grabbed attention in a belted fuchsia number, while Lea Michele opted for a sparkly ensemble in forest green and nude. Green wasn't such a friend to Emma Roberts, however, as she looked rather washed out in her strapless olive-colored mini dress. For the guys, it was all about channeling James Dean, with many sporting variations on the theme of leather jackets and slicked-back 'dos. "The Vampire Diaries" star Ian Somerhalder smoldered in his leather (though he sadly kept his hair covered with a fedora), while "Glee" actor Kevin McHale complemented his hair-raising style with a striped purple shirt and black tie. Though many men chose to keep it casual in button-downs and V-neck tees, a few of the men took advantage of below-average temperatores in Los Angeles and classed it up with variations on the suit. "Glee" star Cory Monteith's black suit and tie were given an extra edge by a pair of black sneaks, while "Fringe" star Joshua Jackson looked quite dapper in his blue suit jacket, which he paired with skinny jeans.

| The Arcade Fire Go Big, Soundgarden Get Heavy: Sunday At Lollapalooza Posted: 08 Aug 2010 10:46 PM PDT Arcade Fire and Soundgarden go head-to-head with powerful Sunday night sets
CHICAGO — Over the past three days, there's been no shortage of power from the big stages at Lollapalooza, though usually, it was coming from one side of Grant Park or the other. On Friday, it was Lady Gaga who provided the surge, and on Saturday, it was Green Day. But on Sunday (August 8), during the final night of Lolla 2010, we finally got dueling dynamos, as the Arcade Fire and the reunited Soundgarden squared off across the park with sets that packed a wallop, not just sonically, but physically, and emotionally, too.
This wasn't showmanship — neither band really brought out the big lights (or the even bigger explosions) like Gaga or Green Day did — this was old-fashioned, roll-up-your-sleeves, sweat-on-the-stage rock and roll, the kind that makes the genre so intoxicatingly compelling, and, yet, is sadly in short supply these days. The Arcade Fire — who just celebrated the release of their The Suburbs album with a pair of sold-out shows at New York's Madison Square Garden — took the stage in stately silhouette, while the orchestral strains of the title track swirled around them, and quickly proved that they had learned a thing or two from their recent gigs: namely, that their big, bawling new anthems sound best while played at very loud volume. "Ready To Start" rolled along theatrically, getting bigger and bigger with each passing bar. "Rococo" started ominous and hushed, then built with each repetition of the chorus, husband/wife team of Win Butler and Regine Chassagne letting their voices become progressively more entwined, while the crowd chanted along in unison. And "The Suburbs" was jaunty and strong-limbed, stretching and expanding with Butler seated behind a piano and Chassagne on a second drum kit for added oomph. They sprinkled their older stuff throughout, and it was just as life-affirming as it ever was, in particular "Neighborhood #2 (Laika)," which was even huge during the lilting verses, "No Cars Go," which had the crowd chanting "Let's Go!" while the band broke into an extended jam, and a swooning, smashing take on "Crown Of Love," which crescendo-ed until it toppled over on itself, all melodramatic and overwrought, and left the tens of thousands in the audience waving their hands back and forth. But in a set where so much was so massive, there were a pair of moments that stood out as not only the hugest of the night, but probably of the entire weekend. And they came within minutes of one another. The first occurred towards the end of their 90-minute set, when the band let "Neighborhood 3 (Power Out)" come crashing directly into "Rebellion (Lies)," a wave of sound that got downright spiritual, at least judging by the amount of arms thrust skyward, and then tore through "Month of May" a fiery burner off the new album. At the conclusion, with feedback still drenching the air, fans pressed against the barrier could be seen bowing to the band. They deserved it. And then, for the encore, they (of course) did "Wake Up," which has become their defacto anthem, and the band didn't even have to provide the "Woah-Oh-Oh-Ohs!" (it was probably the only moment of the show where they weren't working overtime). Instead, Butler instructed the crowd to sing so loudly that they could "hear it on the space station." And they probably could. That's the power of old-fashioned rock and roll, after all. And while all of this was happening at the north end of the park, Soundgarden were providing the power down on the south side, though they preferred to do so with brute force and maximum sludge. Playing only their third show in 12 years, the Seattle quartet rolled through a similar set to their Thursday night (August 5) show at the tiny Vic Theater just a few miles away in Chicago. But while that performance was compact and internal (matching the intimate nature of the venue), the Soundgarden that showed up to play the main stage at the close of the festival was the stadium-sized monster that most people remember from the "Black Hole Sun" days. By far the most low key band to headline their particular stage all weekend (especially considering Lady Gaga's bombastic theatrics and Green Day's penchant for crowd-friendly spectacle), Soundgarden did what they do best: Grind out vicious, sludgy anthems designed to hit the listener square in the gut. Just as they did a few nights prior, the band opened with the Badmotorfinger dirge "Searching With My Good Eye Closed," which set the tone for a truly harrowing night of pounding, aggressive rock. While recognizable hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Rusty Cage" got the biggest reactions, the crowd was appreciative of grinders like "4th of July" and "Let Me Drown," which captured the same kind of energy the band kept in reserve back when they last headlined Lollapalooza (they played the main stage on the touring version in 1996). "This is the millionth time we've played Lollapalooza," frontman Chris Cornell announced to the crowd. Really, it might as well have been '96, as the group have not lost a step, nor have they forgotten their friends (former Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons showed up for the show-closing "Slaves and Bulldozers"). Soundgarden are about the closest thing Lollapalooza has to an institution, and though no songs played during their festival-closing set were written after '96, there's something to be said for tradition — really, really loud tradition. Soundgarden capped off a busy Sunday at Lollapalooza, which saw schizophrenic jumps from the over-the-top theatrics of X Japan to the grooviness of Erykah Badu to the stout riffage of Wolfmother to the gardening-friendly hip-hop vibe of Cypress Hill. An eclectic, sometimes wholly disjointed lineup, to be sure, but one that will live on in Lollapalooza history — and founder Perry Farrell wouldn't have it any other way. Were you at Lollapalooza?

| What Is 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' All About? Posted: 09 Aug 2010 03:50 AM PDT You've seen the colorful and wacky ads, but they might have left you wondering: Who is Scott Pilgrim?
Those who have encountered Universal's creative and very colorful marketing campaign for the upcoming "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" movie might be either intrigued or perplexed by the zany high-action trailers or the larger-than-life billboards (featuring either star Michael Cera shredding the guitar or the more dubious "Exes by the numbers" shot). Either way, apart from the film's stellar cast and excellent tagline — "An epic of epic epicness" — curious moviegoers might be wondering: Who the heck is Scott Pilgrim? And what is this movie about?
Well we here at MTV News are more than equipped to help answer those questions and more. Kicking off a week of Pilgrim-pegged coverage, we bring you a handy primer of the unlikely hero, courtesy of director Edgar Wright ("Sean of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz").To begin with, he says it's all about love. "It's essentially a love story — or a love triangle even — about a young man, Scott Pilgrim," Wright told MTV News when he stopped by our live-stream show at Comic-Con recently. "[It's] basically the ups and downs of his love life, filtered through kung fu and video games and all sorts of insane action." Those ups and downs revolve around Pilgrim fighting for the love of Ramona (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) — we're talking literal fighting here. Before Pilgrim and Ramona can be together, he must defeat her seven evil exes. Wright said it's like a cartoon/ video game/ sugar-cereal cocktail. "Brian Lee O'Malley, who wrote the books, once described the character Scott Pilgrim as the hero of a movie inside his own head," Wright said. "This essentially is the movie, so it's kind of like a big daydream for people who've been brought up on Saturday morning cartoons, video games and too much sugary product." Check out everything we've got on "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." For breaking comic book movie news, columns and more — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com. Related Photos |
| 'Glee' Stars Are All For A Possible Michael Jackson Episode Posted: 08 Aug 2010 11:06 PM PDT The stars talk about working songs like 'Bad' into an MJ-themed show on the Teen Choice Awards red carpet.
They've done Lady Gaga. They've covered Madonna. A Britney Spears episode is in the works.
One pop star at a time, "Glee" has been putting its cheery spin on the repertoires of some of music's biggest names. However, many fans are waiting for the "Glee" crew to represent the legacy of one hitmaking luminary in particular: Michael Jackson. Rumors have been swirling that an MJ-themed episode could be headed to TV screens, and several castmembers told MTV News at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night (August 8) that they would love to take a crack at the King of Pop's legendary jams. "That would be pretty cool," Matthew Morrison mused on the red carpet. "He is probably the best and most iconic performer in the history of music," Morrison declared. Jenna Ushkowitz said taking on Jackson's music would be a daunting but nonetheless incredible challenge. "That's a scary, scary episode to do," the actress said. "[But] that would be absolutely amazing." "So You Think You Can Dance" judge Adam Shankman has been confirmed to helm an episode of "Glee," and some reports have suggested that he might be dreaming up choreography for a Jackson tribute. Ushkowitz added that regardless of which episode he takes charge of, the cast is amped to have the director in the fold. "We're so excited to have Adam Shankman," she said. "He's incredible." With Shankman at the wheel, a dance-heavy Jackson show could be in order. But while Amber Riley said "she would love to do a Michael Jackson episode," the actress prefers the entertainer's smoother fare. "My favorite song by him is 'Human Nature,' " Riley said. Harry Shum Jr., who wows "Glee" audiences with his footwork, seemed really excited by the prospect of an episode dedicated to the Gloved One. "That's so awesome," Shum said. "You're part of a show that is paying homage to all these great artists and to be able see your childhood dreams ... like, 'Oh I would love to do that' [not] just onstage but [also on] this awesome show that gets to showcase these things is great." Heather Morris said she would love to see how the show flips Jackson's ultimate tough-guy anthem. "I think it would be super cool to [do] the 'Bad' montage," she said. "Maybe not even in the sense that it's like the 'Bad' video. I'm excited to see what ['Glee' creator] Ryan Murphy could do with 'Bad.' Whatever they're gonna do it's gonna be hysterical." What would you like to see in a Michael Jackson "Glee" episode? Sound off in the comments below! Related Videos Related Photos |
| First MTV TJ Gabi Gregg Wants To Give Followers 'A Voice' Posted: 09 Aug 2010 09:53 AM PDT Plus-size-fashion blogger @gabifresh comes out on top during live finale of 'Follow Me.'
NEW YORK — MTV just got a little bit fresher. Gabi Gregg, who goes by @gabifresh on Twitter, was crowned MTV's first-ever Twitter Jockey at the live finale of "Follow Me: The Search for the First MTV TJ" on Sunday night (August 8). The 24-year-old Detroit native and plus-size-fashion blogger was one of 20 contestants chosen by MTV, in partnership with ZYNC from American Express, to compete for a $100,000 contract to be the social-media face of MTV. Throughout the first round of challenges, Gabi's eye for style and gregarious charm catapulted her to more than 5,000 Twitter followers and nabbed her the highest number of votes on the ZYNC by American Express Facebook hub. Only five of the original contestants made it to the live finale in New York City, and Gabi, rocking a little black dress on the sparkly stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, continued her winning streak to top the popular vote during every elimination round. Moments after it was revealed that Gabi nabbed the throne, the @MTVTJ account was transferred to her possession, and she tweeted her first official message: "Ommmmmgggggg thAnk you to everyone." Gabi spoke to MTV News only moments after sending off her first dispatch, and she told us all about why she's excited about the position — including the fact that it's her first job since she graduated from college two years ago. She has big plans for the historic new position, and she's keeping it all about the followers. "My main goal is to really connect with the audience," she said. "I don't want to be the same as the MTV Twitter; I want to keep it personable and keep in touch with the followers. I want to give them a voice." Her first order of business? "Paying off my student loans," she says. We can't wait to see what her second is — and what she'll wear during all of them. Are you happy Gabi is the new TJ? Let us know in the comments! |
| Jennifer Aniston Game For 'Arrested Development' Role Posted: 08 Aug 2010 12:55 AM PDT 'I love it,' the actress says of possibly joining the big-screen adaptation of the TV show.

I actually think I might have asked [Bateman] ... if that was possible," Aniston told MTV News about possibly appearing in the much-anticipated movie. "Anything to work with Jason," the star gushed. Aniston is already teaming up with Bateman for the summer comedy "The Switch" about a single woman's search for a sperm donor. The stars will also work together in the forthcoming flick "Horrible Bosses" alongside Colin Farrell and Charlie Day. Whether Bateman and Aniston will reunite onscreen for "Arrested" is still up in the air. While Bateman said he's ready to lobby for an Aniston appearance, they are also at the mercy of the megastar's packed schedule. "I don't know, we'll see if she's available. She's busy. She's pretty famous; I don't know if you've heard of her," Bateman said, adding that he already has a role in mind for Aniston.

| Nicki Minaj Reveals Childhood Crush On Bruce Willis Posted: 09 Aug 2010 09:09 AM PDT Young Money diva gushes over her 'Your Love' shout-out to MTV News at Teen Choice Awards.
Nicki Minaj's "Your Love" has been a breakout summer smash, so, music fans are familiar with the line "For your lovin', I'mma Die Hard like Bruce Willis." Since the song has topped the charts, it was only a matter of time before Willis got wind of the shout-out. "I can't get enough songs on the radio that have my name in it," Willis told MTV News in July. "It's always an honor. I love that song. I don't understand it, but I can understand my name."
It turns out Minaj isn't an MC who name-checks 'em and leaves 'em. The hip-hop diva told MTV News at the Teen Choice Awards that she was geeked that Willis is into the record. "I saw the [MTV] footage when he was like, 'Yeah, I don't know what she's saying in it, but I can recognize my name.' I was like 'Yes!' " the Young Money diva exclaimed. Apparently, the femcee has been a die-hard Willis fan for a while. "It was so funny, because I had the biggest crush on Bruce Willis when I was little," the MC confided. Getting the attention of her girlhood crush is just one of the surprises Minaj has experienced lately. The MC just scored her first MTV Video Music Awards nomination for Best New Artist and admitted that she was blindsided by the news. "Someone sent me an e-mail saying congratulations and I was like, 'For what?' And they said, 'For the VMA.' And I was like, 'What was I nominated for?' And when they said, 'Best New Artist,' I just started screaming," Minaj said. "I definitely thought I'd get one someday, but not before I put the album out. I never thought I'd get a nomination [this year]. ... I didn't even think I'd get invited!" Do you think Nicki Minaj will take home a Moonman at this year's VMAs? Let us know in the comments below! The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for the winners in general categories, including Best New Artist, from now through September 12.

| Waka Flocka Flame Denies Beef With Gucci Mane Posted: 08 Aug 2010 05:55 AM PDT Rapper acknowledges that he and the 'Lemonade' MC don't speak.
It appears the stress of the hip-hop game has gotten to Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame. Hip-hop fans have been buzzing about the duo after Flocka told Vibe magazine that the MCs "don't talk anymore," since Gucci ditched Flocka's mom as his manager. Flocka recently addressed the rumors surrounding their relationship and said that while things are different, he doesn't harbor any bad feelings for Gucci. "I don't think it's no split. We couldn't meet each other on a business level ... or a personal level. Whatever the level is, I don't know. I'm going this way and [he's] going that way and we both killin' these folk. That's just what it is," Flocka told DJ Drama on Atlanta's Hot 107.9. The rapper attributed their lack of interaction to his schedule and said, "I'm super busy," but maintained that "everything's great." Although their relationship appears strained, both rappers have scored major success. Last year was a banner year for Gucci who scored a slew of high-profile collabos with the likes of Usher and Mariah Carey. Although the MC spent part of the year in jail, his album, The State vs. Radric Davis, yielded hits like "Lemonade" and "Spotlight." Flocka, who began his hip-hop ascent as a member of Gucci's So Icey team, hit big with the rowdy club anthem, "O Let's Do It," which has earned him a "Hottest Breakthrough MC" nomination. Flocka insisted that everything is cool between him and his former mentor. "Ain't no drama," Flocka said. The rapper also insisted that he would never take things to another level and bring violence into the situation. "Don't ever think it's just like, 'Ey, let's get [him],' " Flocka said. "Don't ever think I'm [going] to ride on him with another person. Let's make that super clear." What do you think of Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane not speaking anymore? Do you want to see them work together again? Let us know in the comments below! Related Artists |
| James Cameron Says Government Ignored His BP Oil Spill Advice Posted: 08 Aug 2010 04:39 AM PDT 'The source of the report was contaminated in their minds because there was a Hollywood guy involved,' he says.
Although he's known for staging elaborate film productions versus resolving massive environmental crises, James Cameron has been vocal about fixing the BP oil spill that has ravaged the Gulf Coast.
The "Avatar" filmmaker even assembled a team of experts in the field to figure out how to fix the largest oil spill in U.S. history. However, Cameron said that when it came to reviewing the strategy developed by his collective of engineers and scientists, government officials failed to take the plan seriously. "We worked [on] the problem for a couple of weeks ... and submitted a 25-page report to the Department of Energy and ... to the [U.S.] Coast Guard that said what to do," Cameron told MTV News. "It was promptly ignored by everyone and guess what? At the end of the day, they did exactly what we recommended. I'm not saying they did it because we recommended it. I think they did it because it was the right thing to do. But they basically did exactly what we said should be done." Cameron said he was motivated to assist the cleanup effort because he felt analysts outside of the oil giant should have a say. "If you're relying on BP for imagery, you're basically relying on the criminal's video of the crime scene," he asserted. Cameron maintained that officials ignored the report because of his status as an entertainment figure. "I think because BP was giving them a line of sh-- every single day and they were believing it. I also think it's because the source of the report was contaminated in their minds because there was a Hollywood guy involved," Cameron said. "[Officials] tend to shy away from media if they can't control it, which completely obviated the valuable contribution of the other 23 people on the team, who are all the crème de la crème of the deep-submergence community," he said. The filmmaker also noted the irony of the supposed snub: "I put the group together [and] I coordinated with the government agencies. I did all that stuff. At the end of the day, we were probably ignored because I was involved." Cameron said that when the spill was finally contained, the clean-up crew in charge used methods originally suggested by the his team. The director lamented the delay in fixing the problem. "The thing is, it was the right answer 60 days ago when we gave them that report," Cameron said. "That means you've got a million gallons a day, times 60 days, pouring into the gulf. [That's] 60 million gallons of oil." What do you think about James Cameron's approach to the BP oil spill? Do you think he wasn't taken seriously because he's a Hollywood filmmaker?

| Robbie Williams Marries Ayda Field In Los Angeles Posted: 08 Aug 2010 02:17 AM PDT The British singer weds actress on Saturday in his Beverly Hills home.
The summer of celebrity love" rolls on as another artist ties the knot. British pop singer Robbie Williams married American actress Ayda Field on Saturday (August 7) at the couple's California home. Williams' spokesperson, Murray Chalmers, confirmed the nuptials in a statement. "Robbie Williams and Ayda Field were married yesterday, August 7, in a ceremony held in the grounds of the home they share in Los Angeles," Chalmers said.

He went on to launch a successful solo career and topped the international pop charts with songs such as "Millennium" and "Rock DJ." Ayda Field has appeared in TV shows such as "Days of Our Lives" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip." Williams recently reunited with his Take That members to record a new album for the first time since he split from the group in 1995. He told BBC News in July that getting back together with his fellow boy-banders was like "coming home." The singer's dad said Field is a good fit for Williams, who has struggled with substance abuse throughout his career. "At last, Rob is happy. That's what you want for your kids and this is the happiest I've seen him," Pete Conway told U.K. newspaper News of the World. "Ayda is so beautiful and so delightful and so lovely and just so right for him. They are brilliant together." Leave well-wishes for the couple in the comments below! Related Photos Related Artists |
| Adam Levine, Swizz Beatz, Kathy Griffin Talk Humiliation On 'When I Was 17' Posted: 08 Aug 2010 05:40 AM PDT 'I was gross,' Maroon 5 frontman says of his 'Reality Bites' style.
This season on MTV's "When I Was 17," we've heard embarrassing stories of awkwardness, heartbreak and, um — OK, those have been our two big themes, because even celebs like Drake and Kevin Jonas were just dorky kids back in the day.
This week's episode, however, introduced entirely new levels of embarrassment, as Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, hip-hop luminary Swizz Beatz and comedian Kathy Griffin dished about their less glamorous moments from childhood. "When I was 17, I was gross," Levine admitted on the show. "My hair was long and really ratty and nappy. [I wore] huge, oversize flannels that didn't fit [and I had] a goatee. Like a bad version of Ethan Hawke in 'Reality Bites.' " Levine shared something in common with Griffin, who looks back at her high school style with utter mortification. "I was pale, freckly and had Bozo hair!" she laughed. The foul-mouthed jokester was also completely unprepared for certain aspects of teenage social life. "One time, I was fooling around with this one guy. He was like, 'Hey, Kath, you wanna see a penis?' " she said. "I said, 'OK, but I'm not going to do anything, because I'm a lady.' And so he unzips his pants, and then this thing comes out. It scared the f--- out of me. I thought it was disgusting. I didn't know that they're purple. I thought it'd be tan. It had this really perfect shape. When I was 17, I did not shoot anyone, I did not go to jail, I just didn't know what penises looked like." Right. We have to admit, we're at a loss for words. As was Swizz one time when he tried to sneak into a club and ran into an unamused bouncer. See, the future hip-hop star got his start DJing in clubs before he was even legally allowed to drink. Usually he'd sneak in the back. But on one occasion, he showed up late and tried his luck at the front entrance. "So I go through the front, I get to the door and — 'Show me your ID!' I'm like, 'I don't have no ID. What do you mean, show you my ID? I work here. I'm supposed to be getting the party started.' " Swizz said. "I was like, 'I'm telling you, I work here!' " he recalled. "I'm speaking with so much authority. I'm this little skinny guy. He's looking down on me, like, 'I don't care. Step over here.' " "When I Was 17" airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
