What happens when you mix celebrities, high profile stylists, and a group of eager junior stylists vying for a coveted job at the prestigious Margaret Maldonado Agency? Find out when MTV takes you inside the competitive world of fashion in the new series "Styl'd.' The series follows five junior stylists: Gary, Tara, Janna, Brett, and Cody, as they embark on the experience of their lives working for Jen Rade, Eric Archibald, and Julie Weiss, the senior stylists for the Margaret Maldonado Agency.

"Styl'd" reveals the drive and passion these junior stylists have for fashion and the lengths they will go to in order to come out on top, including backstabbing fellow co-workers and flirting with disaster. "Styl'd" will also journey into the personal lives of each junior stylist as they balance romance while struggling to make ends meet. Each week, the junior stylists are assigned the difficult task of assisting with the styling of celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Soulja Boy, and Ashley Tisdale for various events including music videos, movie premieres and red carpet events. The stakes are high, and only one budding fashion powerhouse will receive a contract to work for The Margaret Maldonado Agency.

Senior Stylists:

Jen Rade: Known as one of the premiere stylists in the business, Jen's work has been in numerous music videos for clients such as: Pink, Marilyn Manson, LL Cool J, Dave Matthews Band, and Snoop. She has also worked with one of the world's most iconic supermodels, Cindy Crawford, and reality television star/pop culture phenomenon, Kim Kardashian. Jen has also worked on editorial shoots for Esquire, Marie Claire, GQ, CosmoGirl, Interview, and Parade Magazine. Her high standard of excellence and no nonsense work ethic will definitely keep the junior assistants on their toes!

Eric Archibald: Eric Archibald got his styling start in 1994, inspired mostly by his favorite designers. Since then, Eric draws on his inspirations to create his signature aesthetic that conveys a classically sexy and chic look with an edge. Working with diverse clients such as Diddy, Mariah Carey, Usher and Britney Spears, Eric's work has been featured in media ranging from music videos and tours to television and commercials to personal appearances and editorials that include Harpers Bazaar, People, GQ, Glamour, and Marie Claire.

Julie Weiss: Don't let her youthful look fool you...Julie Weiss means business! Her unique styling keeps celebrity clients coming back for more and her passion for fashion is unmatched. Clients have included Terrance Howard and an Eva Longoria Parker film. She has also worked with artists, including Britney Spears, Kayne West, Kid Rock, Jessica Simpson, NKOTB, and The Pussycat Dolls.

Junior Stylists:

Gary - Gary was born to be a stylist. A previous student of Parsons Design School, he not only has a natural eye for fashion but also the experience to back it up. Dedicated and driven, upon completion of his internship at Vogue, Gary turned down a permanent position with the publication. Although he does not intentionally seek out drama, he has absolutely no problem bringing it and willingly volunteering unwelcome opinions. As the competition narrows, look for Gary to give all the junior assistants a run for their money.

Tara - Tara is quirky, dark, silly and articulate; this punk rock Persian chick is all attitude and sass. She has an eccentric sense of style, and idolizes Patti Smith, Courtney Love, and Axl Rose for their daring/dirty take on fashion. Tara is likable because she's funny, unique and doesn't apologize for who she is, but her outspoken nature often gets her into trouble. Not everyone appreciates her candor, especially when her witty zingers are directed at them. With the most in depth knowledge of the fashion world, the other junior stylists see Tara as the one to beat in this junior assistant program.

Janna - Blond, bubbly and an ex-cheerleader, Janna is a true "Valley" girl. Growing up a military brat, she did not establish her taste for fashion until she was 12-years old. Now Janna is turning fashion into a career, studying at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. She's fine stabbing her co-workers in the back to advance her career, but her inability to keep secrets and tendency to gossip will definitely cause a stir. If Janna wants to win this contract, she's going to have to play tough because she has a lot to learn about fashion compared to some of the other junior stylists.

Brett - Kansas City born and bred, Brett couldn't wait to get out of the Midwest. He moved to Los Angeles with $500 in his pocket, and even had to live in his car for three months to make ends meet. He has worked a lot of retail in his life, from Abercrombie and Fitch, to Ed Hardy. He's not afraid to embrace more daring fashion, and equates his style to a male version of Betsey Johnson. The other junior stylists better watch out because Brett has his eye on the prize and will stop at nothing to get that contract.

Cody - Cody is the new guy in town. Born into a family with roots in fashion, styling is something Cody has always wanted to do. As the resident single straight guy in the program, Cody is ready to take advantage of the perks that come with working in a predominantly female industry. An incorrigible flirt, ladies better beware when he is around. Despite his flirtatious nature, Cody is a serious contender and is ready to do what it takes to win.

The intense and eye-opening series features real addicts in crisis whose families are desperate to get them the help they need. Each episode features Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein meeting with the addicts, friends and families to explore their willingness to change. As part of his life long struggle to overcome substance abuse, his mission was to help as many people as he could and this series was a way for him to help on a bigger level. Through interviews and self-shot video from the addicts and their families, the severity of their addiction and its impact is exposed. Adam often uncovers and reveals new information that even those closest to the addicts are unaware. Along the road to recovery, Adam made the time to see how their rehabilitation was progressing, providing a raw and honest look at their new sobriety.

Adam's family tells MTV, "After careful consideration we have decided to air the show. Adam felt strongly that by doing this series he could help other addicts who were at a crisis point to get sober. Adam was fully aware that if it were not for his own sobriety he never would have achieved the level of success and happiness he had found. Helping people in their recovery was a huge part of Adam’s life. It is our hope through airing this show that people will get to see the side of Adam that we knew and loved, not just the celebrity DJ, but the honest and caring person who gave so much of himself to help others. The decision to air the show has been difficult, but we do this with the profound belief that it will inspire others to seek help."

"Recovery can be extremely difficult and requires constant attention," said Sean Clarkin, Executive Vice President of the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. "But it's important to know that it is in fact possible to present examples of people who are recognizing the need for treatment and beginning that journey."

The series features a cast of talented young improvisational actors that cycle through the series playing different dating nightmares, from "The Momma's Boy" to "The Aspiring Trophy Wife" to "The Hypochondriac Germaphobe."

Each story offers a unique look into the wide variety of challenges young mothers can face: marriage, relationships, family support, or lack thereof, adoption, finances, rumors among the community, graduating high school, starting college, getting (or losing) a job and the scary and exciting step of moving out of the nest to create their own families.

Having to deal with adult responsibilities, these girls struggle to pursue their childhood dreams and are often forced to sacrifice their teenage years, their high school experience, and their former hopes of what their lives would be. But they remain optimistic and have the dedication to make their lives work. Although they are children themselves, they have a drive to do as they see fit and try to provide the best for their babies.

When "The City" Season One resumes, the cast goes back to work with new jobs, new boys, new friends and New York in the mix, anything can happen. Whitney moved from LA to New York City with everything: a job, friends, a boyfriend and an apartment. In New York though, things can change instantly and now, in "The City" everything is different. Whitney decides to follow her dream of becoming a designer and leaves her position at Diane von Furstenberg to work under the critical eye of Kelly Cutrone at People's Revolution. As she hits the ground running as part of Kelly's PR and events staff, Whitney looks to Kelly for direction as she develops her own designs.

Meanwhile, Olivia Palermo has wasted no time gaining her promotion at Diane von Furstenberg into a new position at ELLE Magazine. She is offered a spot in the Accessories department by Joe Zee, ELLE's Creative Director and is partnered with the magazine's PR Director Erin Kaplan - a young, ambitious upstart who could bring her meteoric rise to a screeching halt.

Whitney is single, dating and settling into a new place in the West Village, but before gets too comfortable on her own her high school friend Roxy Olin from LA shows up needing a place to stay. While Roxy looks for a job, Whitney manages to get Roxy a position working alongside her at People's Revolution where she quickly gets in the way of Whitney's dream of becoming a designer. Not content to stay on the sidelines of Whitney's life, Roxy butts heads with Kelly Cutrone who wonders if Roxy will ultimately help or hurt Whitney's career.

Watch Jazmin try to make it big in the fashion industry. From sketching and pulling fabrics to selecting models that bring her designs to life on the catwalk, Jazmin always has a lot on her plate. Though Jazmin is the talent behind the Li Cari line, but it is the support of her family and friends that allows the brand to reach new heights.

The "House of Jazmin" Cast Includes:

Susan does double duty as mom and manager and she often has a hard time seperating these roles. She is very demanding of Jazmin's time and has high expectations. As the financing behind the fashion line, she has a lot at stake and never hisitates to let Jazmin know.

Joey is Jazmin's little brother, so of course he gets on her nerves at times. However it's clear that they really do love each other and are as close as siblings can be. Joey is also a "pint size paparazzi" who takes all the photos for Jazmin's shows and other red carpet events.

Morgan is Jazmin's best friend and right hand at Li Cari. Morgan works hard to help her best friend reach the top. Though she is known to be the center of attention and the life of the party, when she needs to be, she can also be the big sister that Jazmin never had.

Grandpa and Nona are always there to put things back together for Jazmin. When Jazmin is with her grandparents, she turns into a little girl, but they also serve as a voice of reason in her life. In great Sicilian fashion, they always greet her with food and love.

Contestants will showcase their talents each week to some of the top names in the music industry as they vie for the ultimate prize: an exclusive recording contract from Bad Boy Records and a career launch supervised by Diddy. From performing in front of an audience each week to handling photo shoots and paparazzi, the contestants will be challenged by a variety of tasks.

Emmy nominated executive producer for "Raisin in the Sun," Sean "Diddy" Combs is the ultimate American entertainer and entrepreneur, while wearing many different hats as record producer, CEO, clothing designer, actor, rapper and much, much more. He’s made hit records, huge business deals, designer clothing and founded the chart-topping artists Danity Kane and Day26. "StarMaker" will join an already impressive roster of television shows that Sean "Diddy" Combs has executive produced including the hit MTV series "Making The Band," "Making His Band" "Run's House" and the most recent VH1 show that he created "I Want to Work For Diddy."

One of the driving forces behind reality television and a true visionary, Mark Burnett has enjoyed a long history of executive producing Emmy Award-winning television, with "Survivor" (CBS) "The Apprentice" (NBC), "Rock Star" (CBS), "Contender" (ESPN) and "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" (FOX). In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Burnett produced the MTV Movie Awards. Burnett's entrepreneurial spirit pioneered the success of the reality "unscripted" drama series, garnered skyrocketing ratings and introduced millions worldwide to an entirely new television genre.

RODNEY "DARKCHILD" JERKINS- A prodigy who cracked the top of the charts as a teenager with Brandy and Monica's instant classic the "Boy Is Mine," Rodney Jerkins has been one of music's most successful producers for over 10 years. The resume for this Grammy-award winning songwriter includes superstars like Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Janet Jackson, Pussycat Dolls, Destiny's Child, Mary J. Blige and Britney Spears. He is an inspirational speaker, the CFO of the first online music virtual world MusicMogul.com, and the CEO his own label, Darkchild Records, LLC.

TAMARA CONNIFF-Tamara Conniff served as the music editor for The Hollywood Reporter for five years before making her name as the youngest and first female editor-in-chief at Billboard Magazine. Tamara recently served as President of Music Services for Front Line Management where she worked with music icons like Guns N’ Roses, The Eagles and Christina Aguilera.

LAURIE ANN GIBSON-"Making the Band's" favorite choreographer is back. After training with the world famous Alvin Ailey School of Dance, Gibson has choreographed megastars like the Jonas Brothers, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Diddy. Whether she's bringing the "boom kack" or warning artists about the "gotcha gotcha," Laurie Ann gives guidance like no else in the business.

KIMBERLY CALDWELL- Singer, actress and television personality Kimberly Caldwell has worked as an entertainment correspondent and host for the TV Guide Network. Kimberly first hit the limelight as an artist on another popular reality competition show, which gives her the ability to develop an intimate and empathetic relationship with the aspiring “StarMaker” contestants.

JOHNNY WRIGHT-Johnny Wright is a legendary star maker who has managed some of the most successful acts of all time including Janet Jackson, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and the Jonas Brothers. No stranger to reality television, Johnny Wright has mentored artists on "Making the Band" and "Making Menudo."

On the day before Diddy's sixth (and reportedly final) album is released the rapper turned starmaker is gathering his talent scouts, coreographers and vocal coaches and going out in search of a new group to add to the Bad Boy family. Only this time, the search is personal.

Diddy will be auditioning singers, drummers, guitarists, bassists and keyboardists to join him on stage and perform backup vocals and instrumentals on his "Last Train To Paris" tour. But the journey won't be easy.

Judges Laurie Ann Gibson, world renowned choreographer, Om'Mas Keith, producer and lyricist, Rob Lewis, songwriter to the the stars, Nisan Stewart, musical director/unofficial peacemaker, and Romeo, former vocal coach to Michael Jackson himself, will accompany Diddy and put his would-be collaborators through rounds of grueling auditions designed to weed out the wannabes from the future music legends and turn this talented team of rookies into the Bad Boy backup band of his dreams.

However getting through the first cuts doesn't guarantee admission. Those who do make it through the early do-or-die rounds will still have endure scathing reviews, endless trials and constant critique in order to prove they have what it takes to succeed. And although everyone will be pushed to their breaking point, only the best of the best will earn the right to share the stage with hip-hop's leading tastemaker.

Watch as Diddy and his team of industry experts narrow down the field from nearly four dozen hopefuls to an elite starting squad, and give these ambitious newcomers the breakout opportunity of a lifetime. If you thought he was hard on the Making The Band-ers, wait until you see him turn up the heat on these new recruits. This time it is his own name and reputation on the line.

America's Best Dance Crew

Past winners the JabbaWockeeZ, Super Cr3w and Quest Crew have appeared in national campaigns and collaborated with today's hottest talent.

A waiting Sunday night audience of die-hard fans will tune-in to see which new crew will join the growing list of the dance industry's future icons to have once graced the "America's Best Dance Crew" stage.

After the most physically demanding season in the show's history, the stakes will be higher than ever for nine all new crews. Each crew will go global and be forced to step outside their choreography comfort zones to infuse their urban sensibilities with some of the world's most popular dance styles. With previous appearances and performances by artists such as Missy Elliott and Flo Rida and full episodes themed to the videos of music's hottest stars like, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson and Britney Spears, season four is sure to deliver more of the incredible choreography and performances that keep a national audience on the edge of their seats.

Fans can also check out the Remote Control blog, for show-related information and exclusive behind-the-scenes video interviews.

"America's Best Dance Crew" is hosted by Mario Lopez and shot on location in Los Angeles as dance crews of five to seven members perform their hottest moves for dance supremacy and a $100,000 cash prize. Every performance-themed episode gives insight into the crews' emotion, spirit and inspiration as they are challenged to showcase their innovative choreography and skills. Viewers from around the country choose their favorite crews via text messaging and online voting. The two teams with the lowest number of votes show their best moves for the judges with the hope of advancing to the next round. One crew is eliminated each week and the last one left gets the title of America's Best Dance Crew.

The season four crews of Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crew are:

AFROBORIKE (Las Vegas, NV) - Comprised of fiery Puerto Ricans and Cubans, Afroborike is a hot Salsa crew ready to bring their own brand of raw and sexy Latin dancing to America. These dancers are hungry to experience the "American dream" and long to have the freedom of movement they have seen in American music videos.

ARTISTRY IN MOTION (North Hollywood, CA) - An all-female crew trying to break the stereotype of "bootyshakers," they are strong-minded women who bring their own contemporary and original style called "contemp-hop." Proud feminists, this all-girl group knows their energy, force and sex appeal make them more than capable to take on and dominate any all-male crew in their way.

BEAT YA FEET KINGS (Washington, D.C.) - This D.C. crew will take the stage with their very own dance style called "Beatin' Ya Feet." Their performances consist of a unique mix of footwork that could make them unstoppable. Although their style is currently only known around the D.C. area, the Kings believe they have created something the rest of the world should see and catch up to. Featured on "It's Showtime at the Apollo" and an MTV inauguration special, they are slowly making their way into the public eye. Combined with their fresh style, this crew also exudes humility and, when they need it most, a hard energy that could make them champions.

FR3SH (Matawan, NJ) - With a unique blend of jazz and funk, Fr3sh infuses a sense of humor into their choreography and compare themselves to the movie "The Breakfast Club," priding themselves on being rowdy and rebellious. Their mix of sarcasm, humor, cockiness and raw talent could take them all the way to the top.

WE ARE HEROES (Los Angeles, CA) - This group of effervescent young women came together from New York, Idaho and as far as Japan to fulfill their dreams of dancing in Hollywood. Growing up in all corners of the globe, they were inspired by everything from Fred Astaire to Michael Jackson and have honed their dancing into something they call "Glam Style," which they hope is good enough to crown them the first girl crew to win "ABDC."

MASSIVE MONKEES (Seattle, WA) - This Seattle crew have grinded their way through national and international competition at the highest level over the past five years. They have won a number of prestigious titles including B-boy Summit 2000 and the World B-boy Championships at Wembley Arena in London, England. The Monkees are actively involved in their community, working at local centers with children, coaching child sports and teaching b-boy classes. They even have their own holiday, as April 26th was dubbed Seattle's official Massive Monkees Day in 2004. With this much talent and personality, they could be next in the line of b-boy crews to walk away with the $100,000 prize.

RHYTHM CITY (Bronx, NY) - Struggling on the streets of the Bronx with little to no familial support gave Rhythm City no other option than to stick together, and they intend to use their original style from the Bronx - "the birthplace of hip-hop" -as a secret weapon. The crew has placed highly in an array of dance competitions including Invasion, Blazin' the Stage, The Main Event, Switzerland's Dance 2 Dance and, most recently, they won first place at Culture Shock EDC. From living in foster homes to surviving abuse, exposure to life on the streets has taken its toll on each member. As a result, crew leader Alonzo Williams created Rhythm City, a nonprofit organization dedicated to getting kids off the streets and involved in dance.

SOUTHERN MOVEMENT (Nashville, TN) - Urban cowboys that hail from the country music capitol of the world, this crew fuses hard-hitting hip-hop choreography with country line dancing. They pride themselves on being able to hang in the club one night and a country bar the next. Referring to their style as "Hick-Hop," this crew plans to bring something unexpected and their main goal is to change the way America views the South and its residents.

VOGUE EVOLUTION (New York, NY) - The first openly gay crew to ever compete on the "ABDC" stage, the five members of Vogue Evolution are out, proud and determined to live their lives the way they want to. Their distinctive "vogue" style of dance mixed with hip hop makes this crew unique, along with working to educate others on AIDS/HIV awareness. They hope to touch everyone watching with their outspoken flare.

Deep in the soul-crushing cubicle maze of Oppercon Industries sit DJ & The Fro (PCM interview with creators)which will show about two 20-something slackers who spend their days blowing off work while they find and mock the sickest and most hilarious videos ever to grace the Internet.

What Beavis & Butthead were to the music video generation, DJ & The Fro are to the YouTube generation. They find the best web videos and make jokes about them so you don't have to.

When they're not watching videos, DJ & Fro kill time by doing things like blackmailing pedophiles into doing their work for them, drinking the breast milk of a co-worker, stalking alpacas and sexually harassing one another. Work at Oppercon Industries is a mere distraction from their true passion: being idiots.

Friends since college, DJ & Fro are virtually inseparable. Fro is the big haired Batman to DJ's Batgirl -- the brash ringleader of their two-man circus. He's got the self-confidence of someone much cooler and smarter than he is, but will very occasionally offer a shockingly insightful comment on one of the bizarre video clips they relish finding online. DJ is as insecure as Fro is cocky --- he's perfectly happy to languish in Fro's shadow and does everything possible to avoid conflict. A non-practicing Jew, DJ has a dark family history that peeks out once in a while, much to the delight of the Fro. Of the two of them, DJ's probably a little smarter, but that's not saying a lot.

Never in the history of television has there been a show that combines animated storytelling and found video so expertly. DJ & The Fro are the perfect anti-heroes for today's web-addled mouse potatoes, and not since Dallas has a show spoken so perfectly for an entire generation.

Inspired by the popular website Hot Chicks with Douchebags, Is She Really Going Out With Him? is a hilarious and compelling docu-format show that aims to tear down the mystery behind pop culture's latest unexplainable phenomenon: beautiful and innocent young sweethearts who fall for self-absorbed, overly-tanned, tattoo covered douchebags.

In each episode of Is She Really Going Out With Him? we'll closely examine one couple as our hot chick eventually leads herself towards making a fateful decision... Will she stay with her douchebag bf or move on to a better man?

The word library usually conjures up late night memories of cramming for an exam or putting the finishing touches on a lengthy paper. For some, it might even drum up the high school pranks that, much to their parent's dismay, landed them in detention with their friends... yet again.

Rarely however does the word library become part of the title of a new MTV show that has been described as "Jackass... set in an enclosed environment." Modeled after a Japanese game show, Silent Library will represent a new breed of competition format that will feature six friends, all vying for a cash prize, forced to impose unimaginable, beyond hysterical stunts on one another. With stunts ranging from brushing one's teeth with wasabi to having your face held in the path of "the slapper" (a gloved hand that rotates on an automated machine) it will be obvious to viewers that remaining silent is much easier said than done.

Within each episode, team members will repeatedly draw cards to determine who must step up to the plate to endure the next "test." The teammate who unluckily draws the skull and cross bones card will have to complete the task at hand to the satisfaction of the wise cracking host and moderator of Silent Library. Should the teammate performing the stunt not last long enough or should their friends seated beside them erupt with uncontainable laughter... the cash prize on the line will decrease.

With only one guiding rule -- to remain SILENT, MTV will show viewers that just because you aren't heading into the Gauntlet or facing off in a Duel doesn't mean that the stakes aren't high, that the stunts aren't real and that the competition isn't fierce. Never has the MTV audience sat through a study hall, Saturday detention or cram session in a library quite like this...

Next Season on The Real World...

On the 23rd season of The Real World the series will take on a different lifestyle as it takes place in Washington D.C.It will begin production in Washington D. C. in the summer of 2009 and is slated to premiere in 2010. In the upcoming season, eight young adults will experience life in the nation’s capital as they live and pursue their passions in the city that many of our country’s most influential figures call home.

"The charged atmosphere of Washington D.C., the center of our country's social and political change, will provide an electric setting for this next season of The Real World, said Tony DiSanto, President of Programming, MTV. "We are thrilled to be filming our classic franchise in the heart of where history is being made...it adds a whole new dimension to the great characters and drama our viewers expect and love from The Real World."

"Young people have never been more engaged in what's happening in this country and Washington, D.C., is the perfect place for The Real World cast to express their opinions and pursue their passions," said Jonathan Murray, the creator and Executive Producer of The Real World.

"In a time when our country has witnessed the impact and spirit of our nation's young people, it is a pleasure to welcome MTV and The Real World cast to the District of Columbia as they utilize the immense opportunities that the District's backdrop will undoubtedly provide," said Adrian M. Fenty, Mayor of Washington D.C.

Paris Hilton is once again in dire need of a new BFF. Last year, the world's premier celebutante thought she had found the ultimate best friend in Brittany, winner of Paris Hilton's My New BFF. After running Brittany through a gauntlet of challenges specially designed to reveal a potential bestie worthiness, Paris lifted the velvet rope to welcome Brittany into her world of glamour and celebrity, where they attended all of the hottest parties together.

The two were best pals, but as time passed, the newfound fame went to Brittany's head. No longer that cool confidante Paris thought she had discovered as her new sidekick, she was cut loose. Once again, Paris found herself on her own.

Now 13 girls and one boy are looking to fill the place that Brittany, like Nicole Richie and Britney Spears before her, held in Paris' life. Once again, Paris will put them through rigorous challenges that will test their smarts, wit, loyalty, party skills and, perhaps most importantly, their hotness. Only one of them will be deemed worthy of the ultimate prize: to be introduced by Paris Hilton's as "my new BFF."

Everything you loved about the first season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF will be back this time around. Paris will keep a close watch on her bestie wannabes, and she'll fill viewers in on her thoughts about the contestants from her plush and relaxing VIP lair. And she'll put each and every one of them through the paces, judging their viability in her high society celebrity culture. There will be lavish parties, fabulous fashion and plenty of time to impress Paris. But who will be up to snuff in this jet set test?
