Gun violence continues to be a hot topic, and President Obama didn't back down from the debate during a Colorado speech Wednesday -- a day after Snoop Lion premiered his music video for "No Guns Allowed" featuring Drake and Cori B. In a newly released behind-the-scenes clip, Snoop and Drake explain the video and what made them want to make such a powerful statement.

Here’s a liar. There’s a liar. Everyone’s a lying liar (in Rosewood). Even though we were left with more questions than answers after Tuesday’s finale, we can’t say we didn’t learn a lot of valuable lessons from our favorite liars this season.

Would you expect D'Angelo, Maya Rudolph, Elvis Costello and The Roots to share a stage? Probz not as likely as hearing "Purple Rain," "Little Red Corvette," and "Raspberry Beret" at a Prince tribute. Last night, IT. ALL. WENT. DOWN.

History met history on this day as Americans across the country celebrated both President Barack Obama's second inauguration and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. At the nation's capital, President Barack Obama raised his right hand and placed his left on bibles once owned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln as he was welcomed into his second term. Meanwhile, miles away in New York's Rockaways community, volunteers placed both their two hands on shovels, hammers, and wheel barrels for a Day of Service alongside St. Bernard Project, New York Cares, AmeriCorps and MTV Act.

Confession time.... Tyler Posey and Holland Roden took a break from filming "Teen Wolf" season 3. I know, I know -- I was all like, "WTF! I want new episodes already," too.

When we took our seats in NYC's Madison Square Garden Theatre for Trey Songz's Chapter V Tour, which also featured Miguel and Elle Varner, we knew two things: Trey Songz likes to take his shirt off; and, Miguel likes to take his shirt off. Lucky for us, both dudes happened to be in a giving mood that night. (I guess we made this year's nice list!)

Snooki was overcome with emotions when she finally had the opportunity to see the devastation in Seaside Heights after Hurricane Sandy. The boardwalk, the roller coaster, everything but the memories are now gone. BUT YOU'VE GOT REASON TO FIST PUMP -- we're going to "Restore The Shore" and by pitching in you could win two tixs to the 2013 VMAs, get you nails did with Snooki, have Sunday dinner with Vinny and his fam AND more amazing prizes!
