Barack Obama isn’t exactly famous for his loyalty; he has a history of jettisoning people once they’ve outlived their usefulness to him. This time, it’s the gay community. On Friday, Obama told an MTV audience that he would not fight for gay marriage his second term, intoning that “it would be up to future generations of Americans to implement meaningful reform.” Here’s the kicker; realizing that some states are now endorsing gay marriage, Obama suddenly became a champion of states’ rights, asserting, “For us to try to legislate federally into this area is probably the wrong way to go.” When...

He took a photo of a notebook with the handwritten lists in two columns: “Why I’m Not Voting For Romney” and “Why I Am Voting For Obama.” [See list here] The number one reason cited...

I was 11 years old when our family first got cable TV in the summer of 1982, and I remember watching MTV as it celebrated its one year anniversary a few weeks later. I consider the music of the early 1980s to be some of the best music ever made...

MTV will air its Video Music Awards (VMAs) show at an earlier timeslot this year to dodge a ratings clash with President Barack Obama as he accepts the Democratic nomination in a speech on the same night in September. The star-studded awards show will be televised from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept. 6 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET, as opposed to the VMAs' traditional 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET timeslot. The move is intended "to avoid conflict with the Democratic National Convention proceedings that evening," an MTV spokesperson told NewsCore in an email.

MTV is now trying to lure young viewers with a saucy sex show in the "advice" category. They didn't reach for Dr. Drew or God forbid Dr. Ruth or an actual doctor of anything. They turned to filthy sex columnist and gay activist Dan Savage. The new show is called "Savage U," and it documents Savage touring college campuses to offer snarky/smutty advice to college students. This is MTV's libertine ideology pitched right at children, and Savage is blunt about how he'll be going around the parents. Savage explained to the Los Angeles Times that, "The idea is we're going...

[snip] For one serendipitous weekend he was Mr. Rogers’s actual neighbor. [snip] He asked about the young man’s job at MTV and got him talking about his parents’ divorce two decades earlier...an MTV senior vice president with a shrine of Mr. Rogers mementos above his desk...a self-described “PBS mind in a jump-cut, sound-bit MTV world.” Mr. Rogers listened, then offered, “I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex,”... [snip] He took that suggestion to heart after Mr. Rogers’s death in 2003, teaming up with his brother, Christofer, 43, a television editor, to...

Jersey City is about to receive a new pair of neighbors, and they're not exactly the quiet type. After about a month of speculation, producers of a "Jersey Shore" spin-off starring Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley have obtained filming permits in Jersey City, officials confirmed yesterday. "We look forward to bringing the production to Jersey City and both Snooki and JWoww are happy to know they'll be filming in their favorite state once again," an MTV spokesman said. Set to start shooting later this month, Snooki and JWoww will be residing in a two-story firehouse by Grove and...

This week, "American Idol" kicked off its 11th season, and it appears even President Obama is getting into the spirit. On Thursday night at a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater, the commander in chief surprised a star-studded Harlem, New York, crowd by busting out a few measures of "AI" staple Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."

Once upon a time, women were considered the "fairer sex," the "better half." Stewardesses were talented and beautiful. Wives were softer and gentler. Men fought for their honor. Feminism crushed all of that. It is a testimony to their movement that in today's post-feminist entertainment media, part of what makes television so corrosive and sour is just how piggish the women have become. The latest study from the Parents Television Council drives this concept home by going to the ugly center of pop culture: MTV "reality" programming. After studying entire seasons of four MTV shows, the PTC concludes: "Females talked...
