This week, it was Briana's turn -- and she, too, shared the spotlight when her sister Brittany found out she was pregnant a month after Briana. Both handled their pregnancies differently -- and clashed along the way -- but they've ultimately moved on, as Briana explains in the clip below.

Do you know there’s more than one right way to wear a condom? Before sex-ed teachers everywhere send me angry Tweets, let me clarify. Although there is only one proper way to don a condom during sex, a few daring individuals have found a way to turn condoms into wearable clothing.

For over 20 years, sex advice columnist Dan Savage has been helping young lovers get free under the covers. He's shared "Savage Love" suggestions in print, online, through podcasts and on Q&A tours. He wrote a book, "The Kid," about his experience adopting a son with husband (by Canadian law) Terry Miller. A group of  NY actors/fans went ahead and turned that story into a stage musical last year. In 2010, Savage and Miller started the hugely popular It Gets Better Project. Yes, Dan Savage is an in-demand man. Fortunately, however, he's not too busy to bring candid s-e-x talk to MTV ... starting now. Check out the trailer below.

Zac Efron and Taylor Swift were on The Ellen Show earlier this week where they performed a song about Ellen alwaysss tending to make things weird on the show. What Zac didn't sing about, however, was that things tend to get weird on the red carpet, too. The day prior at the premiere for The Lorax, Zac reached into his pocket to hand something to his rep when--oops--a condom slipped out of his pocket onto the floor in front of photographers. Watch:
