People Who Pressure You Into Getting Breast Implants Aren't Your Real Friends

An episode of MTV's True Life reran today called "I'm Under Peer Pressure" and one of the subjects featured was Nikki, a 23-year-old waitress at Hooters who feels that her flat chest might be holding her back in terms of making tips... and her overall confidence as a woman. Her friends, who happen to be fellow waitresses at Hooters and also happen to have their own sets of fake breasts, seem really invested in the idea of Nikki getting implants, and even have a pow wow with her, to convince her how great it'll be for her. In the end, she caves. Clip above.

What Would You Do If You Were 14 And This Was Your Mom?

For the second installment of MTV's True Life: I Have Embarrassing Parents, we were introduced to Nikki, an adorable 14-year-old emo girl who is dealing with having a mom who is, in turn, dealing with having some kind of midlife crisis in which she wants to eternally look 18. (To her, "looking 18" translates into looking like Pamela Anderson in her worst costume for the day, replete with giant fuzzy hat.) Nikki's mom doesn't understand why her daughter is so embarrassed by her, because she's just being herself and showing off the body that "God gave [her]". Um, well, if by "God" she means her plastic surgeon. At Nikki's father's birthday party, her mom dances so suggestively with her classmates that Nikki breaks down in tears. Clip above.

Fashion PR Lady Kelly Cutrone Is So Boss

Kelly Cutrone is the owner of fashion PR company People's Revolution, where Whitney from The Hills is now working. This weekend, MTV ran a documentary about Fashion Week following Kelly and her assistant Stefanie as they prepared for the fall shows, and we got a glimpse at how super awesome she is. First of all, our hats are off to anyone who successfully works in fashion, yet cares more about the work than the fashion. Kelly's style is akin to the "blogger's look": No bra, no makeup, baggy shirts, tired face, and hair so dirty it looks wet. She seems like a tough boss, but appreciative just the same. Clip above.

Hell's Belles: MTV Looks At The Lives Of Young Southern Women

This weekend, MTV aired a documentary about "Southern belles" that kind of freaked out this Northeastern Jezebel. It's shocking that, in 2008, educated women feel like old maids at 24 years old, yet refuse to ask men out on dates. Such is the case with Leigh Ann, who says her greatest fear in life is becoming a crazy old cat lady (despite the fact that she already seems to be one). It's also shocking that an 18-year-old girl like Raini could use so much hairspray and wear so much makeup and fuddy duddy outfits that she looks closer to 50 than 20. Clip above.

Gay For Pay: Can A Guy Really Be Straight If He Bones Dudes?

A new episode of MTV's True Life aired last night called "I Work in the Sex Industry." While "sex industry" is defined kinda loosely (one of the girls they follow hosts a college radio sex show), the storyline following Aaron, a 23-year-old straight guy who works in gay porn, was pretty interesting. He says he really, truly is straight but that he can't turn the money down, since gay sex scenes offer about five times the cash as straight ones, and he simply relies on Viagra to get him up. The thing is, his family seems to have a hard time believing that he can do that job and be straight, and even his gay male costars tease him about how he just doesn't know he's gay yet. Clip above.
