These could induce nightmares, so beware. Special effects makeup artist Kevin Kirkpatrick made some prosthetic models of MTV cartoon icons Beavis and Butthead and they’re pretty disturbing. The details and overall realness of them is pretty astonishing, though. Kirkpatrick pretty much captured them spot on, so kudos for that, but they’re still mighty scary to look at.

Take a much closer look after the jump.

When MTV mutated from a music tv channel to a reality soap channel we were certainly not very excited. One of the very few shows that we did check out every once in a while was Punk’d. During its New Year’s Eve program, MTV revealed that a new season of the celebrity hidden-camera series will premiere on March 19, 2012.

Ashton Kutcher will no longer be the host of the show, instead there will be a series of guest hosts, including Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Kellan Lutz, Bam Margera and Dax Shepard.

“Unlike the original series, the new Punk’d will also offer a behind-the-scenes look at how the elaborate pranks were put together. Punk’d is executive produced by the show’s co-creators, Katalyst’s Jason Goldberg and Kutcher.” (Via Deadline)

If the new show will be worth watching, we cannot tell you yet. We will all have to wait and see in March.

MTV has launched LiquidTelevision.com and will be releasing all episodes of the 90’s Emmy-Award winning animation showcase in the coming months. Created by Colossal Pictures, MTV had commissioned three seasons and it served as the launching point for several high-profile original cartoons, including Beavis and Butt-head, Æon Flux, Cartoon Sushi, and The Head.

Make sure to keep an eye on LiquidTelevision.com. Well worth visiting for a view into a very creative period of MTV programming.

Yesterday the MTV Video Music Awards 2011 were held in Los Angeles. For the occasion MTV brought out lots of great acts. Among them was Kanye West, who was performing ‘Otis’ on stage with Jay-Z. Once again the artist presented his upcoming Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneaker on stage. It seems like we are slowly getting closer to a release, even though Nike could not confirm an official release date yet. The image above and some others, following after the jump, give you a better idea of how the follow up to the Air Yeezy will actually look like.

Today MTV launched 5 new idents in collaboration with 55DSL. The characters are based on the 5 senses and have been created by 5 artsits – Alex Trochut, iLoveDust, James Roper, Tei, Yué Wu and Zeloot. Each designer created a t-shirt design based on one sense and was then paired with a motion graphics studio to create a 30 second spot based on the character.

More looks at the MTV x Nooka Berlin & Moscow Watches after the jump.

MTV has caught up to the notion that video on the net outways video on TV. MTV MUSIC has all the videos, all the time. You can join. You can vote. As some in the industry have already noted, why did this take so long? We might ask, is this the final red flag we need to really know that MTV is an old man at a young man’s party? Our hopes are that the videos come fast and furious, and generate the same joy accidentally catching a Hieroglyphics video on MTV 2 at 3am does.

We continue the countdown to the Puma x Yo! MTV Raps collection, to be released worldwide on the 15th of September. Today we present you the “Back In The Days” video featuring the Big Daddy Kane and the MC Shan lines.
