After a super-eventful year starring on VH1's Couples Therapy, Teen Mom's Catelynn Lowell was invited to make an appearance at the Teenz Fav Awards in Toronto on Saturday. Lucky for us, the reality star recently took to Instagram to give us a sneak peek at the shocking duds she'll be sporting to the starry event. And by duds I mean ... a jaw-dropping, potentially injury-causing pair of shoes.

Check 'em out ...

Uh, yeah, see what I mean? The way Catelynn wrote about them on Instagram, you'd think they were your everyday, prom-ready Ninas! She wrote, "My shoes for the award show .. it's ok Sista u can borrow them @xoambularxo," referring to Amber Baltierra. So in other words, it's not just Catelynn who can somehow manage to rock these Lady Gaga-esque heel-free wonders?! Yeesh, I am impressed -- and horrified, all at once.

Personally, I see no reason to risk your neck for a pair of heels, no matter how hot. I'm not quite sure how one would walk in these; they look downright dangerous. No matter, though! Tyler will be accompanying Catelynn, so thankfully, if she needs a hand -- or an arm to cling to -- she'll have his nearby. I also would encourage Cate to pack a pair of flats in her clutch! No matter how experienced you are walking in haute couture kicks like this, I can't imagine anyone's tootsies being able to take more than a couple of hours in them ... right?

What do you think about these shoes? Would you ever try 'em?

Farrah Abraham Makes a Claim So Outrageous We Can Barely Laugh

I think Farrah Abraham might have an evil twin. That's the only logical explanation behind her very existence. Think about it, doesn't it kind of make sense? One day she's classy, the next she's trashy? One day she's filming a sex tape (#backdoormom4lyfe), and the next she's claiming she doesn't care about fame.

Ha, ha, ha, that's right. My best friend Farrah (stay tuned for our web series coming never to a computer nowhere near you) recently spoke about her relationship with the media. Did you know Farrah doesn't want to be famous? Stupid evil twin, making Farrah an integral part of the D-List.

Keep in mind before you read her sage words, the woman has a new TV show in the works. So it's not like she's this century's Emily Dickinson, interviewed from her home, the crawlspace beneath her stairs.

I've never really been about fame or attention from the television and the people who see me on it. Now in our lives we are very choosy about reality television and what we do. I think if there's no real educational impact or showing advocacy for something, then, you know, I don't really think it's a good thing to be a part of.

I hate it when people use the word 'literally' as a means of emphasis, but I'm going to make an exception. That quote LITERALLY makes no sense. Not one whit. If Farrah really believes what she's saying, here are five other things she's likely to believe are true.

1. Unicorns

They exist, they have powers, and every day that passes is another chance for Farrah to meet one and befriend it.

2. Thunder Is Just Angels Bowling

Every time there is a thunderstorm, Farrah can be heard to yell out, "STRIKE!" Little does she knows, the angels are actually really into Settlers of Catan right now.

3. Invisibility

When Farrah doesn't want to deal with a problem, she believes that she "turns invisible." What actually happens is that she stops blinking and begins holding her breath while we all avoid her for fear she has gone quietly mad.

4. Cleaning Elves

Farrah doesn't own a mop, because she believes her home is cleaned by an army of well-meaning elves. You should see her bathroom.

5. Her Hair Has Powers

Farrah believes that her long hair gives her powers including super-strength. Thankfully she does not believe her hair has given her the ability to fly.

Do you think Farrah really isn't interested in fame?

Honestly, it would take a pretty big uh-oh to mess up the perfection that is a brownie. Throw some chocolate and sugar in there (and, you know, some of those other vital ingredients), and you've got yourself a crowd-pleaser.

However, there are some brownie recipes that are just so delicious and chocolatey that you can tell in the first bite it would be hard to find a better one. Those out-of-this-world brownies pack a secret punch that would leave even those indifferent towards brownies drooling for more.

The secret ingredient is ... coffee granules! Now you can combine your favorite dessert with your go-to morning drink. Instant coffee granules give these treats a caffeine boost and mild coffee flavor for all the latte lovers out there.

Insider's tip: if you want to make these brownies even better, try spiking the mix with your favorite liqueur. For a mellow, nutty flavor, try some Frangelico, and for more coffee flavor with a kick, add some Kahlua.

Add mixture to the cooled chocolate mixture.Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter.Pour completed chocolate batter into the baking sheet.Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough.

5 Outrageous Ice Cream Truck Stories That Are Almost Too Crazy to Believe

Shh, listen a moment. Do you hear that? It's the sound of thousands and thousands of ice cream trucks delivering icy sweetness to children and grownups all over the country. Their songs may differ, but that soft-serve cone tastes exactly the same every damn time, doesn't it?

Summertime, and ice cream truck season well underway. But that truck o' fun isn't always so innocent, not to everyone. Sometimes the Good Humor man delivers a serving of overheated insanity. Here's a few of our favorite crazy ice cream truck news stories. What is it, people -- the heat, or the sugar?

No more ice cream truck tunes: Can you believe the Long Beach, California city council wants to ban ice cream truck music? How are you supposed to know it's around if you're indoors, where the air conditioning is, without that music? What a bunch of cranks.

Ban the ice cream carts, too: Last summer one New York mom's demand to ban ice cream carts from playgrounds went viral. So you see, there are icy Grinches on both sides of the coast. WTF, people? Would these people be nicer if someone just bought them a popsicle?

Ice cream wars: Another golden oldie from last year -- remember when two rival ice cream trucks fought it out on the street? Well, their drivers fought it out, but the trucks suffered all the damage. You guys, you're supposed to deliver joy, not strife.

Ice cream bait-and-switch: One prankster outfitted an ice cream truck with healthy food. Actually, that would have made me happy because I prefer cucumbers to soft-serve, but I'm a weirdo. Ooh, I bet the mom who wants to ban ice cream carts would have loved the truck, too. But most people tricked by the veggie truck were understandably pissed.

Ice Cream Truck-Jacking: An ice cream truck was carjacked in Washington, D.C. The mugger threatened the two people inside with a handgun and ran off with money and cellphones. It was 10:30 at night, so at least this didn't happen in broad daylight when there would have been more kids around. But this guy definitely wins for the biggest ice cream truck spoiler of them all.

Keep cool out there, everyone. I know it's hot out there. But remember, it's just ice cream.

How do you feel about ice cream trucks?
