| Game Warns 50 Cent: 'Jay-Z Is Not To Be Toyed With' Posted: 20 Nov 2009 02:52 AM PST MC says his jab at Hov was in 'fun.'
The Game has thrown disses at both 50 Cent and Jay-Z, so who does the Compton rap fanatic think would win if Fif and Jay ever engaged in a war of words? In a recent interview with Complex.com, Game says he gives it to Jigga. "Jay-Z will f--- 50 up in a battle!" Game predicted. "It would be so fast and over with. 50 is funny, but Jay is witty. Jay-Z is not to be toyed with. If he responds, if he feels like you're really pissing him off and he responds, he's gonna f--- you up! He would f--- me up, I'm just glad he didn't respond, so I didn't have to go dig in my bag and try to f--- him up. "I definitely think that Jay-Z didn't come at me like he came at any other rappers because I definitely would have been more disrespectful," he continued. "Once you start a beef with me, you better be ready to go the whole 12 rounds. I will try to chew your f---in' ear off, like Mike Tyson. I'll do it and I think he knew that — I'm disrespectful! So Jay, he did the right thing and just kinda let it die down and I let it die down 'cause it wasn't anything, really. It was fun and I really admire Jay's career. I just really don't care too much for the man himself." The onetime G-Unit member also said he's open to working with 50 Cent again — although 50 recently said he isn't — but he does think Fif is just following his footsteps by beefing with Young Hova. "I already did that Jay-Z thing," Game said. "50's just doing what I'm doing. Nobody went at Jay; I went at Jay. Now everybody wants to get at Jay — not saying anything about Beanie Sigel, that's personal and I stay out of that. He's just a man and he's got all the right in the world, but I feel like I did something that people have been wanting to do, but everybody is scared because Jay-Z is so lyrically inclined to cut your throat and your career in half that nobody wanted to do it. But me? I just don't give a f--- sometimes." Both Game and 50 Cent have been in the lab with Dr. Dre lately. The Doc was in New York on Thursday at Best Buy promoting his headphones. During a press conference, RapRadar.com asked him about his relationship with Game and 50 since they are on opposing sides. "It's good, I'm working with both guys," Dre began to say before Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine attempted to move onto the next question. "Everything is good. Both guys are gonna be on my record. I'm trying to put it back to where it is supposed to be: all love." Related Videos Related Artists |
| Lil Wayne, Drake, Birdman, More Team Up For New Videos Posted: 20 Nov 2009 02:21 AM PST Young Money clique films a clip while Lil Wayne and Drake guest on a Birdman track.
The Cash Money/ Young Money synergy continued recently in Miami. All the family was there: Lil Wayne, Drake, the Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Lil Twist, Lil Chuckee, Mack Maine ... everybody. Wayne and his Young Money camp shot the video for "Bed Rock," while Birdman corralled Drake and Weezy for "4 My Town (Play Ball)," the next single off his album Priceless, due Monday.
"Me, Birdman and Wayne, we got this new song — I guess you could say it's like another 'Money to Blow,' " Drake said on set. "[The] three dudes that brought you the original are coming back, trying to make it just as big. It's cool, man, to come out here and see the classic Cash Money feel. Everything is really big. It's borderline cartoon. All the best things — the best cars, the best-looking women, the lights. It's one of those videos that's fun to do." Birdman continued to say that while Drake is family, he has his own niche. "Me and my son been working 20 years, literally. Working with Drake brings a different spark," Birdman said about working with Wayne and Drake. "[Drake's] got a different spark. He's him. He brings him to what we do. It's a different look. It brings something else to it. What I love about him is he does his own thing. He has his own thing with our thing and it makes it bigger. Drizzy!" On the Birdman's official Twitter page, it was announced that Wayne's Rebirth LP and the Young Money album have both been pushed back to December 22. Related Artists |
| Justin Bieber Mall Appearance Canceled After Stampede Erupts Posted: 20 Nov 2009 05:41 AM PST A young fan was hospitalized after the ruckus at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, New York.
Fans of 15-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber might typically run a bit younger than most chart-toppers — but as the "One Time" singer learned Friday (November 20), that apparently doesn't make them any less dangerous. A young girl was hospitalized after fans mistakenly started a stampede at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island, New York. Moments after the incident, Bieber updated his fans with a message on his Twitter account. Alluding to a difficult day for himself, his fans and security team, he tweeted, "The event at roosevelt mall is cancelled. please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I dont want anyone hurt." According to TMZ, which spoke with employees at an Abercrombie Kids store near the melee, someone in the mall falsely screamed that Bieber was inside their store, causing a flood of young kids rushing toward his mistaken location. In addition to the young girl's hospitalization, several fights allegedly occurred. In addition, Newsday reported that by 2:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, the crowds had grown so big and unwieldy that Nassau County police were called in. The crowds had gathered for a performance at the tween clothing store Justice, where Bieber was scheduled to perform songs from his eight-song CD My World, which just came out on Tuesday. After many fans had waited in line for a day or more, Bieber (who recently co-starred with Diddy in the YouTube clip "Justin Bieber's 48 Hours with Diddy") learned that many of them hadn't left the mall, even after the incident with the injured girl. As the Nassau County police attempted to get the crowd to disperse, Bieber used Twitter to ask his followers to leave. "[The girls] are inside crying," fan Alexandra Levine told Newsday. "They don't want to come out because they think he will still show up." Related Artists |
| 50 Cent Sees Himself Settling Down With A Family 'At The Right Time' Posted: 19 Nov 2009 11:47 PM PST But for now, he's a certified bachelor, chatting with MTV News about Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry and Megan Fox.
50 Cent gets very domesticated in his video for "Baby by Me." He has a wife (played by Kelly Rowland) and the three kids (triplet boys), and he flips burgers on the grill after a hard day at work. Fif said the role wasn't too much of a stretch. "I would actually yell at Kelly," Fif laughed. "I'd be like, 'You don't do nothing right. I told you to have one baby and you had three! You don't do nothing right!' " Getting more serious, 50 said he seriously thinks about settling down.
"I think it could happen," he said. "You know, it has to be at the right time. I mean, you see Em make a decision to go home. He didn't want to wake up one morning and Hailie be grown. You know, your life in general, you gotta make choices at different points." Fif is living the life of a bachelor for now. He said the last celebrity woman that made him say, "Damn!," because she looked so good, was his "Home of the Brave" co-star. "Jessica Biel. Her body is like, 'Wooo-wooo,' " 50 said, making a bottle shape with his hands. When asked to choose between Biel and Megan Fox, Fif was stumped for a few seconds. "That's a toss-up," he said. "Ummmm ... Megan Fox." When it came to Fox or Halle Berry, 50 didn't have to think about it. "Halle Berry," he answered without hesitation. Then came a tough question: Catwoman or Mrs. Smith? "Angelina Jolie?" 50 asked. "Angelina!" Fif — who did say Halle was his all-time favorite beauty — could not decide between Jolie and Katy Perry. " Angelina got all those kids from all those different countries," he laughed. "Got a lot to deal with." Related Videos Related Artists |
| Miley Cyrus 'Deeply Saddened' By Death Of Tour Bus Driver Posted: 20 Nov 2009 01:35 AM PST Bill Douglas, 53, killed in crash while driving one of Cyrus' buses Friday morning.
Miley Cyrus issued a statement on Friday afternoon (November 20) about the death of Bill Douglas, the driver who died in an early morning accident in Virginia while driving one of Cyrus' tour buses. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bill 'Uncle Bill' Douglas," reads the statement issued on behalf of the Cyrus family. "Members of our tour are like members of our family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family in the midst of this tragedy. He will truly be missed." According to a statement released by the Virginia State Police, officials are investigating the crash that occurred on Interstate 85 in Dinwiddle County, Virginia, on Friday morning that took the life of Douglas, 53, who was behind the wheel of one of the four tour buses in Cyrus' entourage. Cyrus was not on that bus, which held nine other crew members who were able to exit the vehicle through the front windshield. Douglas, an Austin, Texas native, died at the scene, according to police. The bus was ferrying members of the singer's production crew to a Cyrus show in Greensboro, North Carolina, scheduled for Sunday when it ran off the left side of the road, struck an embankment and overturned onto its right side at around 8:15 a.m. Crew member Mary Zilio, 48, a native of Canada, was hurt in the crash and was transported to a local hospital for treatment of undisclosed minor injuries. Police have not yet determined the cause of the crash. TMZ obtained two 911 calls made from the scene of the accident which seem to indicate that Douglas was suffering from cardiac arrest. Whether his heart failed before or after the accident has yet to be determined. Cyrus' show in Greensboro on Sunday will go on as scheduled according to a spokesperson. Related Artists |
| 'New Moon' Director Chris Weitz Hopes Fans Won't Spoil The Ending Posted: 19 Nov 2009 11:24 PM PST 'The final scene is extraordinarily emotional, and it leads to a very potent climax,' he tells MTV News.
NEW YORK — Fans pretty much know what they are getting themselves into when they head to theaters to see "New Moon" this weekend. If they have read the book, they have a good idea of how this part of the "Twilight Saga" comes to an end. Still, director Chris Weitz hopes fans appreciate the way he has decided to craft the "New Moon" finale for the big screen. "The final scene is extraordinarily emotional, and it leads to a very potent climax," he told MTV News on the red carpet of the NYC screening of "New Moon." "And it's kind of a spoiler, which I hope people won't give away."
The film ends in a specific way, with Bella and Edward sharing a very special moment, and he said the way it appears onscreen was determined very carefully. "Everything about it was planned to reach that ultimate moment," he said. Weitz was not only excited about the film's ending, but also the way it all came together as a complete piece. He's really hoping Twilighters approve. "I feel really good about the final product," he said. "I feel it was as close to the final product as I could make it, which was an honest version of the book and something that a fan would appreciate. So it's not made for any particular demographic, except for the reader of the book who really wants to see it visualized." Check out everything we've got on "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

| Miley Cyrus Tour Bus Crash Kills One, Singer Not Injured Posted: 20 Nov 2009 08:05 AM PST Cyrus was not on the bus that crashed in Virginia Friday morning.
One person was killed when one of Miley Cyrus' tour buses crashed on an Interstate in rural Virginia on Friday (November 20). According to The Associated Press, Cyrus was not on the bus that crashed at around 8:15 a.m. Virginia State Police said one unidentified person was killed when the bus overturned on Interstate 85, about 40 miles south of Richmond. Multiple sources have identified the deceased as the driver of the bus; the driver's name had not been released at press time. Another one of the nine passengers on the bus carrying Cyrus' production crew was injured in the incident and transported to a local hospital in undisclosed condition. TMZ reported that the bus was one of four in a tour caravan carrying the 16-year-old singer. Officials told the site that the roads were slick at the time of the accident, due to overnight rains, but that it was unknown at press time if the driver died before or after the bus went off the road and overturned. Cyrus is slated to play a show on Sunday in Greensboro, North Carolina. A spokesperson for the singer could not be reached for comment at press time, but a source close to Cyrus confirmed that she was not on the bus that crashed. Photos of the accident site show the bus on its side in a gully by the side of the Interstate. Related Artists |
| Matt And Kim Steal Woodies Spotlight With Some Nearly Nude Friends Posted: 20 Nov 2009 01:32 AM PST Duo enlisted people who could sing 'who also happened to look great taking their clothes off' for awards-show performance.
On a night packed with big-name stars (Leighton Meester, Will.I.Am, Zooey Deschanel, et al) and big-name performances (Death Cab for Cutie, Jack White's the Dead Weather, Rick Ross), it was a frequently nude couple from Brooklyn that managed to steal the spotlight at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards. Matt and Kim — they of the clothing-optional "Lessons Learned" video — not only walked away with the Video of the Year Woodie, but they wowed the crowd with an over-the-top performance of the song, one that featured bicycles, bliss and backing vocals provided by a bevy of nearly naked hipsters. So when we caught up with the dynamic duo at the Woodies, which air December 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU, we had to ask them about the performance. Turns out, it was a rather difficult thing to pull off. It seems there's not a lot of professionally trained singers willing to shed their clothes on command. "We were going to get our friends out there, but our friends can't sing for crap," singer Matt Johnson laughed. "So we got some people to help us out. These were kids who knew how to sing — who also happened to look great taking their clothes off." "It was a lot harder to do than you'd imagine," drummer Kim Schifino added. "There's not that many people who want to do that." Luckily, they managed to corral a chorus of kids who were up to the task. And the "Lessons Learned" performance went off without a hitch. The only problem now is — thanks to their Woodies set (and the success of the "Lessons" video) — Matt and Kim find themselves perilously close to being typecast as "that naked band." At least, you'd think it was a problem. "I can only hope we'll be 'that naked band!' " Johnson enthused. "I always want to take my clothes off. I went to film school, and the only time I get to do film-related things is via Matt and Kim. And I came up with this idea for a video, where Kim and I would take our clothes off in Times Square, and Kim wanted no part of it." "Not at all," Schifino laughed. "But now it seems inevitable. And that could be a problem. My t--s aren't that big." Don't miss the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards, airing on December 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU! Related Photos Related Artists |
| Leighton Meester Parties With Cyndi Lauper At mtvU Woodie Awards Posted: 20 Nov 2009 02:18 AM PST 'She's damn sexy,' 'Gossip Girl' star says of the '80s icon.
Things were pretty raucous at the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards, what with the keg stands and all, which is pretty much the only way to explain this pairing. At the tail end of the show, which airs on December 4 at 10 p.m. 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU, "Gossip Girl" star (and budding pop princess) Leighton Meester and music legend Cyndi Lauper joined forces on the Woodies stage, to present the night's final award (for Woodie of the Year). And, no, Leighton couldn't believe it was happening either.
"I can't believe I'm standing here with Cyndi Lauper!" she shouted, as the crowd whooped in appreciation. "She's damn sexy. Sorry, it's true." But it wasn't just attraction that brought the two together. As she embarks on her solo career — she's working with the likes of Robin Thicke and Lil Wayne — Meester would do well to take notes from Lauper, whose legacy has spanned some 30 years, thanks to iconic hits like "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time." And onstage at the Woodies, she was clearly listening, as she paid tribute to the woman who has shaped her taste in pop. "That is what the Woodies is all about — celebrating alongside artists that inspire you," Meester said, turning to Lauper. "I have heard you tell some magnificent stories, give some good advice, but the best is what I heard you say tonight: 'We make music, and music is awesome.' " She's right, you know. Music is awesome. And, thanks to moments like this, so were the 2009 Woodies. Don't miss the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards, airing on December 4 at 10 p.m. on MTV, MTV2 and mtvU! Related Artists |
