Has 'Jersey Shore' learned the definition of 'done'?

It’s official: Sammi and Ronnie are done… again.

On last night’s episode of “Jersey Shore,” Snooki and JWoww hit the town to show their gay pride while MVP prepared for a night of creeping, as per usual. Though the rest of the cast was MIA, it’s safe to assume Angelina spent the night talking on the phone, Sammi spent the night in her bed and Ronnie was somewhere slurring his words and hitting on grenades.

When Snooki got home, she decided to call Emilio, because everyone deserves a second chance. Too bad Emilio blew his second chance when he yelled at Snooki for being in the same vicinity as gay men, saying that perhaps he should go out with lesbians so they could be even. Part of me feels bad for her, but mostly I’m just excited to see single Snooki back in action.

Who's seeing the 'The Last Exorcism' this weekend?

Anyone in the mood for a good scare?

Eli Roth’s “The Last Exorcism” opens in theaters Friday, and is reported to be in the fine tradition of other films from the sub-genre, like “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” and “The Exorcist."

Starring Ashley Bell (“United States of Tara”) as Nell Sweetzer, a 14-year-old girl with some serious possession problems living in rural Louisiana, “Exorcism” follows the cynical preacher Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) as he attempts to perform one last exorcism for a film crew documenting the practice with the intention of proving that exorcisms are all hoaxes anyway.

Lady Gaga will get waxed

Those other wax figures at Madame Tussauds definitely won't hold a candle to Lady Gaga.

The superstar singer is set to become the most eye-catching attraction when she makes her debut alongside Marilyn Monroe, Angelina Jolie and Miley Cyrus at the wax museum later this year, sporting one of her signature outfits selected by fans.

"We're open to hearing from fans about which looks they want," a spokesperson for New York's Madame Tussauds told MTV News, adding that Gaga followers can pick their favorites at NYCWax.com.

Hmm, we'd pick maybe the bubble dress, Kermit frock, or Alejandro nun outfit - pretty much anything but that bloodied white number from the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Gaga figures will appear in many of the nine Madame Tussauds outlets worldwide, the spokesperson confirms, but whether they'll be outfitted in the same kooky styles remains to be seen.

Jimmy Fallon will make Emmy's a fun night for everybody

Jimmy Fallon isn’t saying much about his hosting gig, but what he has revealed makes this Sunday’s event seem a little more promising than usual.

For starters, Fallon had the idea to get some viewer involvement in this year’s show: If you haven’t already, head over to Twitter and and submit your 140-character suggestions for presenter introductions along with the #imontheemmys hashtag.

"Everyone can join in on the fun and get creative," Fallon said during a conference call Wednesday. "We've gotten some good ones already."

Chris Brown praised for behavior on probation

So far so good for singer Chris Brown’s probation.

CNN affiliate KABC reports that Brown received the thumbs up in Los Angeles on Thursday from Judge Patricia M. Schnegg during his fourth progress hearing.

The singer was sentenced to five years probation and ordered to perform 180 days of community service and attend domestic violence counseling after pleading guilty to assaulting then-girlfriend singer Rihanna.

“You’re doing very well on probation,” the judge told Brown. “You’re doing a great job.”

Brown attended the hearing with his lawyer, Mark Geragos, but did not speak.

Kirstie Alley 'too chicken' for 'DWTS'

Kirstie Alley 'too chicken' for 'DWTS'

She may not have had a problem flaunting her bikini body on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," but Kirstie Alley isn't about to show off her footwork on national TV. The actress has admitted that she's just too terrified to do "Dancing With the Stars."

Addressing recent reports that she'll be one of the celebrities competing on the upcoming season of ABC's hit dancing competition, Alley, 59, tweeted yesterday, "Just a rumor. Imagine that. NOT doing DWTS this season... Way too chicken!! Maybe next season if Im invited again!!!"

That's not to say Alley doesn't know her way around the dance floor. In fact, in a 2005 interview with Winfrey, 56, she revealed that - besides circuit training - dancing was a huge part of her fitness regime.

"In between each piece of equipment I dance really hard. And then I dance at the end for about 20 minutes," she said. "I do this anywhere from four to six times a week. And then I pretend like I'm Muhammad Ali at a disco."

John Mayer slams HuffPo for Aniston story

Hell hath no fury like a man who is no longer dating Jennifer Aniston. Just ask the Huffington Post. It appears that a recent story on their site has struck a bad chord with the singer.

On Thursday, HuffPo wondered if the soulful singer and his ex Jennifer Aniston were back on, quoting a London newspaper’s account of statements he reportedly made at his Hollywood Bowl show on Sunday.

“You can still start over again from home base,” Mayer reportedly said. “Next time you get a text from the one you love just text back 'come over' - no matter what happened in the past. If you really love someone, just tell them and be with them.”

'Bachelorette' star Ali wants to elope

Girl meets boy on reality show. Girl falls in love with boy(s). Girl wants to be married, like, “right now.”

At least, that seems to be how the love story goes for “The Bachelorette’s” Ali Fedotowsky. The 25-year-old reality TV star told People that she and winner Roberto Martinez, 26, would elope, if not for worries about disappointing their families.

“We just want to be married,” she said. “We’re just excited for that. We’re like, ‘Let’s be married - right now!’”

Is Jeremy Renner the next Tom Cruise?

What does an Oscar nomination get you? How about a co-starring role opposite Tom Cruise? "The Hurt Locker" star Jeremy Renner has been tapped to join the "Top Gun" in the fourth "Mission: Impossible" movie, according to Deadline.com.

The casting of the 39-year-old actor comes as a bit of a surprise. Paramount studios had reportedly been seeking younger actors to join the "M:I" team to help breathe new life into the enterprise and eventually carry on the franchise for the 48-year-old Cruise.

Among the names considered: Chris Pine ("Star Trek"), Renner's "Hurt Locker" co-star Anthony Mackie and white-hot Brit Tom Hardy ("Inception").
