Last week MTV’s new comedy, I Just Want My Pants Back premiered. The new scripted show follows the lives of four 20-somethings as they navigate post-grad life and Brooklyn’s hipster scene. In last week’s episode, viewers were thoroughly entertained by Jason’s (played by Peter Vack) unusual encounter with a refrigerator, which began his journey to reclaim his “borrowed” pants from a gorgeous girl known as "Jane." The episode also introduced Jason’s friend, Eric (played by the hilarious Jordan Carlos) who moves in with his college girlfriend and begins his medical residency.

Snooks is a New York Times best-selling author. The Sitch published a book that's basically a guide to avoid grenades and get your GTL on. Even JWOWW wrote a book about her rules to land a man and stay "fresh to death." So it's only fitting that another member of the Jersey Shore comes out with a book. And this one has a lot of heart and a message that millions can relate too. We're talking 'bout Vinny Guadagnino's self-help book, "Control the Crazy: My Plan to Stop Stressing, Avoid Drama, and Maintain Inner Cool," which will be out on April 17 but you can pre-order it on Amazon now.

Among them, college crooner Kyle Crews, single mother of 1 Ashley Robles, and THE Phillip Phillips. All three are certainly contenders, but we've got our eyes (and ears) on another five.
