Reality star Snooki has given birth to her first son, Lorenzo Dominic LaValle. He emerged squalling, orange, and hounded by MTV cameras.

Catfish was a documentary (allegedly) about the deception of an online relationship: it reminded us how easy it is to lie, to present a false version of yourself, and to find a connection with someone who doesn't exist.

Today, MTV announced that it's relaunching its show of deep thoughts about a shallow industry — House of Style, the Cindy Crawford-hosted video magazine that ran from '89 to '99, is set to return to the network on Oct. 9. The new host (or "muse," as they say) will be announced on the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards, which will be held Sept. 6.

I guess this made the whole thing worthwhile.

I'm not sure when the MTV Movie Awards started creating new categories each year but this year's award for New Cult Film (that didn't even have nominees) was clearly just an excuse to give Charlie Sheen something to do. Why he had to be involved remains a mystery to me.

Kardashian joke? Check. Hunger Games and Twilight? Check? Michael Fassbender's Penis? Check.

Last night, MTV premiered The Pauly D Project, but it was more of a chore than a project. A spin-off documenting the jet-setting life of the most likeable Jersey Shore cast member (not that that's saying much) and his band of disciples, Project has all the charisma and excitement of belly button lint acting out Entourage.

Not even a baby meatball can stop the sixth season of Jersey Shore. MTV reports that MTV will renew the series for another summer in Seaside Heights, and Snooki—now more than three months pregnant and engaged to boyfriend Jionni LaValle—will remain on the show.

The four teen moms at the heart of MTV's Teen Mom — Amber, Catelynn, Farrah, and Maci — will be moving on to bigger and better things after the show airs its fourth season this summer. While MTV won't say whether the girls opted to leave so they could focus on their continuing education, or whether MTV forced them out for getting too old, the end result is we'll soon be seeing the last of them, outside of endless reruns.

Last night was the premiere of a new MTV sitcom, I Just Want My Pants Back. It tells the heart warming tale of four young hipsters looking for love, riding the J train and thinking about environmental sustainability. Fret not if you didn't catch it, here's a thirty second recap of the show at its most hipster-douchey.

The city of Hoboken, New Jersey, has denied a request for a proposed MTV Jersey Shore spinoff starring the show's boozy Lucy and Ethel JWOWW and Snooki. Damn, no one in New Jersey wants these two.

VH1 just announced its new show from SallyAnn Salsano, the mastermind behind Zeitgeist inhaling reality show Jersey Shore, and we haven't been this excited since, well, we saw The Situation and the gang fist-pumping in the JS promos. Behold the genius of Mama Drama.

Last August, Abercrombie & Fitch, the Official Outfitter of 50-Year-Old Gays™, made a media splash by announcing that they would pay Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino not to wear their clothes. Now three months later comes — The Litigation! *Lifts T-shirt, flexes complaint.*

The MTV Europe Music Awards (aka the VMAs but with cooler accents) took place today in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Major winners included Lady Gaga, who came dressed up as several versions of the Pixar lamp, and alleged teen mom Justin Bieber. How predictable! One thing EMA viewers didn't see coming, however, was the completely naked man who rushed the stage during a presentation by Hayden Panettiere, who managed to appear shocked despite the fact she probably knew it was going to happen. The NSFW video is above.

The perpetually up-and-coming actress gets another shot at the big leagues. Also today: Showtime wisely renews their best show, Jennifer Coolidge gets grunt work, and MTV says goodbye to some friends.

Hulu put up the first two seasons of The Only Way Is Essex yesterday, the best British export since the Cadbury Creme Egg. Just like the Creme Egg, it's tasty, sugary, ridiculous, completely fake, and leaves you feeling just a little bit sick when you're finished. It's like the best parts of Jersey Shore and The Hills all at once.

Since it stopped playing music, MTV was supposed to be the youth culture network, always airing zeitgeisty shows that capture what's next. Then why are they bringing back all their hits from the '90s?

In honor of Tuesday's National Coming Out Day, MTV aired a special this evening called Coming Out, which followed two 20-somethings as they prepared to reveal to others that they're gay. One of the subjects was Nevin, an all-star rugby player for Ohio State University who decided to finally come out to his teammates. So how did it go? Watch the clip above to find out.

The undead are great and all, but haven't we had enough? Also today: some more ratings to help you understand where everything lies, and a what-to-watch suggestion for tonight.

Some New Jersey politicians (well, OK, one assemblyman at least) are furious after learning that the first season of MTV's Jersey Shore, a paean to all things terrible about America's fourth-worst state, will cost the state's taxpayers $420,000 in tax credits. The horror!
