MTVCome on in!

It's official: TV shows are now airing on Snapchat, people. Anyone else feeling old AF? (If you don't know what "AF" stands for, ask the nearest youth.)
The short-form series was created specifically for the app and will air weekly beginning in June. The first celebs that will show off their digs on on Cribs 2.0 will be Mac Miller, Austin Mahone and Travis Mills. They will show off their homes and talk to the camera, giving fans a show-and-tell experience...including what's in their refrigerator. (But will they Face-Swap with Tony the Tiger on their box of Frosted Flakes?!)
Cribs first debuted in 2000 on MTV, and later aired on CMT as well, before ending its run in 2011. The most iconic episode, of course, was Mariah Carey's infamous one-hour special edition tour of her New York City penthouse, during which she took a bubble bath and wore high heels while working out on an elliptical machine. Other major celebrities who appeared on the show included 50 Cent, Naomi Campbell, Aaron Carter and Hulk Hogan.
