MTV

Before he even got his high school diploma, MTV skateboarding star Ryan Sheckler was already pullin' in more cash more than most college grads.

TMZ obtained his official MTV contract -- filed with the courts back in '07 because he was a minor. The docs show that when Sheckler was 17-years-old, dude was making $9,617.70 an episode for his reality show "Life of Ryan."

The docs had to be signed by his guardian and the president of his company, Ryan Sheckler Inc -- both of whom happen to be his mom.

But Ryan wasn't the only kid from his family cashin' in -- his brothers Kane and Shane also got paid for their sidekick roles, each were $1,500 a show.

During the rant, Lil Mama -- a judge on the show -- told Leiomy Maldonado: "Leiomy, come on. Your behavior ... it's unacceptable ... You were born a man and you are becoming a woman. If you're going to become a woman, act like a lady ... It gets too crazy and it gets confusing."

After taking heat over her comments, Lil Mama sent the following apology to GLAAD:

"I would like to clarify anything that was misunderstood from Sunday's show. My remarks were never meant to be disrespectful regarding Leiomy's gender nor offensive to the LGBT community, which has been a community that has supported me in all my endeavors. However, in hindsight, I recognize that my words may have come across as hurtful. I spoke with her privately after the taping to express that it was not my intent to offend her or any member of the transgender community and that I still live for Vogue Evolution."

The former MTV reality star who may or may not have stabbed her husband while their three kids watched pled not guilty to one charge stemming from the alleged incident.

Sara Stokes -- who was on "Making the Band 2" -- pled not guilty to assault with a deadly weapon Friday morning in Riverside County Court in California.

It's unclear what exactly happened between Sara and her husband last month, because we've been told two completely different versions of what actually went down.

Sara claims her husband accidentally cut himself in the sink -- while cops believe she went on a stabbing frenzy after the two got into a verbal altercation.

Stay tuned...

Long actually hosted the premiere party for "Megan Wants a Millionaire," the VH1 show Jenkins was a contestant on. He didn't meet Jenkins, but he says Megan Hauserman told him she never suspected Jenkins was capable of something so horrific.

Jenkins was wanted in connection with the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore. He hung himself on August 23.

The former MTV reality star accused of putting a knife through her husband's arm earlier this month claims the whole thing is a misunderstanding -- the dude stabbed himself!

TMZ spoke with the manager for former "Making the Band 2" star Sara Stokes, who told us a completely different story than the one we heard from law enforcement. Here's the breakdown:

Stokes' Version -- The incident started by the pool, when Sara innocently tripped and hit her face. Her husband tried to get something to clean her off and accidentally cut his arms on knives in the kitchen sink.

Law Enforcement Version -- It started when Sara stormed out of her house after a screaming match with her husband, she fell over and blamed him for tripping her -- grabbed a knife and stabbed the crap out of his arm while their 3 children watched the whole thing.

Little bit of a difference there, huh?

But there's more -- Stokes claims the reason she accused her husband of tripping her was because she "suffered a concussion when she fell and was confused."

Stokes' rep tells us the couple is "back together, " "happy" and looking forward to the "truth coming out in court."

Aren't we all.

The former singer from Diddy's MTV reality show "Making the Band 2" has once again made the cut -- but cops say this time Sara Stokes was using a knife ... to stab her own husband.

We know what you're thinking, "someone must've beat the crap out of this woman" -- but according to cops, it was the exact opposite.

This bloody mug shot was taken after Stokes was arrested for domestic violence August 2 at their home in Moreno Valley, CA.

According to law enforcement sources, Sara stormed out of the house after arguing with husband Tony -- she tripped, fell down and accused him of doing it.

We're told Sara -- who hurt her head in the fall -- grabbed a knife and stabbed Tony in the arm -- while their 3 kids watched.

Paramedics and cops came and Stokes was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. The D.A. is deciding whether to charge her.

Sara's lawyer, Eric Kayira, tells us, "Sara and Tony have a very passionate and loving relationship that on August 2, while having an evening of fun, she slipped and fell, hitting her head heavily on the ground and somehow in the process of helping her Tony got injured."

Somehow ....

April Margera just called into WMMR radio in Philadelphia to explain why a 911 call for a "possible overdose" was made for Bam yesterday.

April -- who just got back in town from a vacation -- said Bam had been filming for the MTV show "Nitro Circus" and had become "severely dehydrated." She said when Bam films stunts for shows like "Nitro" -- which is just like "Jackass" -- he forgets to take care of himself and doesn't eat enough.

April also said "basic partying" played a factor and she heard Bam walked to the ambulance on his own power.

As we first reported, Bam was taken to the hospital yesterday at around 1:30 PM.

LaLa Vazquez, former MTV and current VH1 host -- also known as Carmelo Anthony's fiance -- is putting her 2006 hot Pink Range Rover up for auction on ebay ... Bidding starts at 25K.

A portion of the proceeds go to charity. It sure beats the hell out of a used Kia.

In case you still believe the Eminem/Sacha Baron Cohen incident from the MTV Movie Awards was real... Em just proved you're a gullible Gary by admitting he was knee deep in Sacha's butt stunt.

Em became the 496th person to confirm the whole thing was planned, telling RapRadar.com, "Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I'm a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag."

Former MTV host Matt Pinfield has announced he will be entering rehab. The VJ-turned-radio show host left this message on his blog:

"I have been struggling with a dependency that I need to address, and so I will be voluntarily suspending my involvement on the 101.9 RXP morning show until I have completed the healing process.

After a few recent slips from my path to health I feel it important to proactively address these slips to ensure that my life continues its positive momentum.

I am so thankful to my family, friends, fans and co-workers here at 101.9 RXP who have provided me with such a deep support system and I want my fans to know that I am well and hope to return and continue what I have started here at RXP."

Some hate-spewing cyber coward has hijacked the official MTV website for the hit show "Rob and Big" -- and replaced an innocent poll with a racist attack on one of its stars.

The poll, which was first discovered by MediaTakeOut.com, has obviously been hacked -- but it's unclear how long it's been up on the MTV site. The poll reads:

What has been your favorite part of Rob and Big?

- HOW BIG BLACK IS A HUGE N**GER AMIRITE?
- how much they love ebaums
- meaty is a meme
- Seeing Big Black in a thong while sucking rob's balls off
- The torture of Drama who will soon kill everyone and result in an hero

FYI -- The "Rob and Big" show wrapped up back in '08.

Yep, it's Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's wedding day -- or as they say over at MTV -- a really big episode of "The Hills."

The ceremony is set to begin at 5pm on the West Coast, if all goes as scripted, but there's already plenty of action outside the Pasadena, Calif church.

We don't want to give away everything, but there will be a "scene" with Spencer tossing a bouquet.

By the way, one off-duty Pasadena cop who's working security in the neighborhood said this about the happy couple: "I have no idea who this is, but I know my daughter will be freaking out when I tell her."

The devastation left behind once the shoot wrapped was described in a recent article from the Tree Climber's Coalition. They say MTV left the formerly pristine area riddled with trash, unstruck sets, and even discarded scripts for the so-called "reality" series.

Apparently when MTV execs see green, they're not looking at the environment.

Calls to MTV were not immediately returned.

Spoiler alert! If you're one of the seven people that are actually watching "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila," beware.

Did season one winner Bobby Banhart, whose break-up with the reality whore made room for a second go round of the trashtastic show, spoil this season's winner?

Posts on Banhart's now defunct MySpace page indicate former Playboy model Kristy wins the bisexual love fest. Our sources tell us that's right on -- Kristy wins the whole shebang. Even though she refuses the offer.
