It’s with great sadness that we at Popblerd announce that, as foretold by the Mayan, Roland Emmerich, John Cusack, and at least one episode of the Montell Williams Show, the world will be ending tomorrow. We hope you didn’t make big plans this weekend! While we don’t know what timezone the ancient Mayans used in their predictions, we’re going to assume it’s Eastern Standard, also known as God’s timezone. That gives you a little less than a day to get ready. […]

Tate Stevens was an early favorite who got boring mid-season and finished strong. Carly Rose has been consistently good all season long. And Fifth Harmony has been terribly inconsistent […]

While I would watch MTV’s The Challenge (originally Real World/Road Rules Challenge) from time to time simply because I was an on-and-off Real World watcher, I became a much bigger fan of MTV’s The Challenge because of The BS Report, ESPN’s own Bill Simmons’ podcast.
