TV Tonight: DJ AM's Gone Too Far
After the surprising death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), no one was sure what would happen to Gone Too Far, his MTV documentary about addiction. Would it be wrong to air it, since it was discovered that he was abusing drugs? Or is it a cautionary tale that could encourage others to seek treatment?

Who Was Your Favorite Performer at Last Night's VMAs?
We've already talked about the moonman winners at last night's MTV VMAs and the A-list beauty and fashion looks that were on the red carpet, but what did you think of the performances?
I know some of you were unsure about tuning in this year, but I'm so glad I did, if for no other reason than to see Janet Jackson perform "Scream" as a tribute to Michael. Lady Gaga was over-the-top as always with her bloody rendition of "Paparazzi," and Pink cranked it up a notch with an actual high-wire acrobatic act.
More Parenthood Planned For MTV: A 16 and Pregnant Spinoff
Spinning off of its reality series 16 and Pregnant, MTV is next producing Teen Mom, which will examine not just the issues of being a pregnant teen, but all the challenges that come after the delivery. With 16 and Pregnant, each episode serves as a sort of miniature documentary following a teenager from early stages of pregnancy all the way through delivery, and we get a brief glimpse at how life is different for the teen once a baby enters her life. Teen Mom will "look back at the teens featured on Pregnant and see how they're facing the challenges of their first year of motherhood.
Teen Wolf Gets a Remake Too
I hope you're not tired of reboots of your favorite movies, because the hits just keep on coming. MTV has ordered a pilot for a Teen Wolf TV series. Apparently, the show will be "fresh" and "very different from the original," with a vibe similar to An American Werewolf in Paris.
MTV Takes My Super Sweet 16 to a New Level
Have you ever watched MTV's My Super Sweet 16 and found yourself saying, "Wow, what a nightmare"? Well it's about to get even scarier — MTV has ordered a made for TV movie based on the show, but with a horror film twist. My Super Pyscho Sweet Sixteen will tell the story of an upscale birthday bash turned bloodbath when a serial killer enters the equation.
American Version of Skins Coming to MTV
If you've ever seen the UK teen series Skins (with Dev Patel!), you know it puts the "scandalous lives" of the Gossip Girl kids to shame with its boundary-pushing scenes and language. Now, somehow MTV will adapt the series for American audiences. Here's more on the US version of the show:
MTV says it will continue the original show's production model using teenagers to help write the series and unknown age-appropriate actors to star.
Are You Interested in Another Osbourne Project?
Yet another Osbourne-centered project is reportedly on the way, this time focused on daughter Kelly and her fiance, Luke Worrall. The MTV show will follow around the 24-year-old and her man, though it will apparently also "feature her heavy-metal legend dad Ozzy Osbourne, mum Sharon, and brother Jack." The series is set to begin airing in October, with filming starting this week "at the London home Kelly shares with Luke, 19, and cameras will follow her for the next three weeks as the couple plan their wedding later this year."
Should MTV Just Change Its Name Already?
On Tuesday, MTV execs announced that they are renewing some shows, like Teen Cribs and Is She Really Going Out With Him?, and picking up a bunch of new series as well, like "the Ashton Kutcher-produced American Idiots, the scripted comedy Hard Times and an untitled comedy/variety project starring Rob Hoffman."
Perhaps I'm dating myself here, but I recall when MTV, or "Music Television," was a network devoted to a lot of music-related things. Doing a word search for "music" in this article about MTV's next season brought up exactly one result, when the word is used to describe one of the reality show members as a "hip music executive."
Beyonce, Lady Gaga Dominate the 2009 VMA Nominations
The video that launched a thousand YouTube copycat videos, Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" is, of course, all over the list of 2009 MTV Video Music Award nominations. Beyonce's got a bit of competition, however, in Lady Gaga, who ties her for the most nominations this year (they each earned nine nods). Beyonce said she is "excited and honored" to be tied with Lady Gaga, and that she's "spent so much time watching all the great versions [of 'Single Ladies'] people created all around the world.
