| Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake More Ring In The New Year With MTV: A Look Back Posted: 30 Dec 2009 03:50 AM PST Revisit our celebrity-packed New Year's Eve celebrations from the past decade.
MTV has always known how to throw a bangin' party to ring in the new year. Everyone from "Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere to Miley Cyrus to musical guests like Sum 41 and the Foo Fighters has been on hand to count down to the new year with us, along with hosts like Sway, SuChin Pak, Damien Fahey and Kurt Loder. MTV News has delved into the archives to remember some of the best moments at MTV New Year's Eve specials of the past decade. In 2001, Lance Bass was on hand to help ring in the new year. And in 2002, the star-filled show featured everyone from Jaime Pressley co-hosting with Carson Daly to Willa Ford hanging with O-Town and Dave Holmes. Brian McFayden chilled with Mandy Moore and Ja Rule that year. "Man, it's been like the best New Year's ever," Ja Rule said.
In 2003, MTV threw a pajama party, with the Foo Fighters, the late Brittany Murphy and Ashton Kutcher joining in the celebration. Justin Timberlake sent in a video message explaining why he couldn't be there: He prefers to sleep in the nude and therefore didn't own any PJs to wear for the event. Hilary Duff and "Total Request Live" host Damien Fahey hosted MTV's New Year's celebration together in 2004. And the cast of "One Tree Hill," including former MTV VJ Hilarie Burton, helped toast the new year. The show's then real-life couple Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray shared a kiss when the new year struck at midnight. In 2007 there was also a lot of kissing going on. At the gold-themed party hosted by "Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere and "Laguna Beach" star Stephen Colletti (who eventually dated), Colletti was seen giving Panettiere a quick peck on the cheek. "Gold is one of my favorite colors, so I was very happy," Panettiere said about hanging with MTV that year. Meanwhile, Nick Lachey and his VJ love, Vanessa Minnillo, swapped a major kiss at midnight. Perez Hilton hung with the cast of "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila" in 2008. Unfortunately Tila wasn't on hand for the festivities. In 2009 Miley Cyrus surprised a teen named Alison for the "FNMTV Presents: A Miley-Sized Surprise." The pink-themed bash had all of Alison's friends on hand to see Miley perform just for them. Alison won the chance to hang with Miley thanks to her work with the Pink Ribbon Club, an organization that raises awareness about breast cancer. Join the stars of "Jersey Shore" and Adrienne Bailon for MTV News' "Top 9 of '09" — which counts down the year's biggest stories, from Michael Jackson to Eminem and everything in between — airing New Year's Eve at 11 p.m. on MTV.

| Chris Brown Picks His Favorite Album And Artist Of 2009 Posted: 30 Dec 2009 03:50 AM PST 'I Can Transform Ya' singer explains whose music got him through the year.
Chris Brown dominated the headlines in 2009, though not for the reasons he'd hoped. After a February altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna, he pleaded guilty, was sentenced to probation and counseling, and emerged from it all a changed man.
He capped off the year by releasing a new album, Graffiti, and, as 2009 draws to a close, he looks forward to re-establishing himself as one of the brightest stars in the pop/R&B world. It was quite a journey, and along the way he drew inspiration from many sources — one of which happened to be the music of his contemporaries. Recently, MTV News sat down with Brown to ask him about the songs and albums that helped him along the way. Because, as he told us, ultimately, it's all about the music. These are his picks for the album and artist of 2009. Artist of the Year "Juelz Santana. ... He played me some of his [upcoming] album, and it's dope. He's just gotta keep doing him. It took [Lil] Wayne a long time to break mainstream. The last couple years have been his big break. So I think it's gonna take a while for Juelz to do it, but he got it. Juelz got it. He's always making great music, so I think he doesn't have too far to go." Album of the Year "This year? Man, that's hard. You know what I listened to a lot? Ryan Leslie's [Transition] album. He's a dope artist. He did [my song] 'Famous Girl' — he produced it — but he's just a dope artist. I think creatively he's so unique that I don't think people get it yet. He's just so dope. His album's incredible. I listen to it all the time."

| Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Flaming Lips Lead New Year's Eve Concerts Posted: 30 Dec 2009 03:50 AM PST Gaga's Miami show is one of the hottest bills in the country.
It's fitting that MTV's Woman of the Year is going to cap off a tremendous 2009 by playing one of the most anticipated New Year's Eve shows in the country. Lady Gaga's December 31 show at the James L. Knight Center in Miami Beach is currently the hottest New Year's Eve ticket on the market, according to "Extra," despite ticket prices that range from $425 to $25,000. The show has already sold a reported $1 million in tickets. But Gaga isn't the only star ringing in the new year from the stage. She joins a cavalcade of bold names who will hoist some bubbly on Thursday, including Mariah Carey, Adam Lambert, John Mayer, reunited jam band Phish, Maroon 5 and psychedelic astronauts the Flaming Lips. Lambert, MTV's #3 Man of the Year, will take the stage at the annual Gridlock New Year's Eve concert in his native Los Angeles on the Paramount Pictures Studio backlot. Though there are far fewer big-name shows than usual for the last night of the year, New York will have the typical mother lode of options for revelers, including Carey at Madison Square Garden, a DJ set from Passion Pit at Piano's, Q-Tip at the Brooklyn Bowl, Patti Smith at the Bowery Ballroom, some jam rock from the Disco Biscuits at Nokia Theatre, who knows what from Hole frontwoman Courtney Love at the Standard Hotel's Boom Boom Room, and guaranteed techno mayhem at Webster Hall with MSTRKRFT. Phish will also be in Miami, winding up a four-night stand at American Airlines Arena with a NYE blowout, as will 1980s new wavers the B-52's, who will rock in the new year at Hard Rock Live. Joining Lambert in Los Angeles for revelry will be techno funkers Chromeo with DJ Peanut Butter Wolf at Club Nokia, R&B queen Erykah Badu at the House of Blues, and hip-hop legend DJ Quik with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony member Bizzy Bone at the Key Club. Up the coast in San Francisco, the surviving members of the Grateful Dead will perform as Furthur at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, Jimmy Fallon house band and hip-hop powerhouse the Roots will plug in at the Warfield, and Ozomatli, Bassnectar, and Ghostland Observatory will bring the dance funk at the Concourse Exhibition Center. Chicago's roster of shows is a mixed bag of blues, jam and electro rock with the Black Keys at the Riviera, mixmaster Girl Talk at the Congress Theater, Umphrey's McGee at the Aragon Ballroom, and Crystal Castles at Logan Square. Socially conscious rapper Mos Def will perform at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, while Spoon will hook up with unpredictable punk Jay Reatard at the Riverside in Milwaukee, and jammers Galactic are at legendary Tipitinas in New Orleans. In Washington, D.C., soul singer Anthony Hamilton will be at Zanzibar, and Third Eye Blind will play the Grand Hyatt. The Goo Goo Dolls will suit up at the Sound Board in Detroit. Denver will live up to its happy hippy vibe with shows by Sound Tribe Sector Nine at the Wells Fargo Theatre and the Yonder Mountain String Band at the Fillmore. Flo Rida will flex his muscle at the IP Casino Resort & Spa in Biloxi, Mississippi. In Las Vegas, the John Mayer Trio will share a stage with buzz singer Meyer Hawthorne at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and Maroon 5 will be joined by actor/songwriter Jason Segel at the Pearl Concert Theatre at the Palms. Band of Horses will rock in the year at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, while the Flaming Lips will unleash their typical end-of-year mayhem with a show in their hometown of Oklahoma City. For the gig, the psychedelic survivors will perform Pink Floyd's trippy masterpiece Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety in addition to a set of their own music at the Cox Convention Center.

| Black Eyed Peas, Justin Bieber, More To Perform On New Year's Eve Specials Posted: 30 Dec 2009 03:50 AM PST Robin Thicke, Kris Allen and more stars will grace your TV if you decide to stay home on December 31.
It's New Year's Eve and you'd rather stay home than brave the crowds at a party — fair enough.

| Lil Wayne Performs Final Hometown Show Before Jail Sentence Posted: 29 Dec 2009 09:11 AM PST 'I'm nothing without you,' Weezy tells New Orleans crowd at Young Money concert.
Lil Wayne performed his last hometown show Monday in New Orleans before he's scheduled to be sentenced to prison in New York on February 9. Wayne, clad in a crimson-red fitted hat and matching winter coat, arrived onstage at the New Orleans Arena to thunderous applause. "I'm nothing without you," he told the crowd in response to his ovation, according to The Associated Press. The rapper has been on a promotional tour with Young Money since earlier this month in support of the recently released We Are Young Money compilation. The outing kicked off December 17 in Texas but hit a few speed bumps along the way. Earlier this month, the rapper and his entourage were detained by U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Lone Star State. Officials found marijuana on Lil Wayne's tour bus, but after being held for hours, he was later released and was never charged in the incident. The New Orleans show went off without a hitch. During Young Money's performance of "Every Girl," the crowd cheered with approval. Stripped down to a tank top, Wayne was joined by Mack Maine, Jae Millz and Gudda Gudda for the number. Weezy pulled double-duty subbing for a missing Drake. Wayne has a number of dates left on his tour, including appearances in Arizona and Mississippi. Next, Wayne and company are set to perform New Year's Eve at the San Diego Arena in California. Related Photos Related Artists |
| Taylor Swift And Taylor Lautner Reportedly Split Up Posted: 29 Dec 2009 12:33 AM PST 'They decided they were better as friends,' a source says.
Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner have broken up, according to sources close to the couple that claim they really weren't that serious to begin with. The couple first met on the set of "Valentine's Day" and seemed to get close fast, even though neither ever confirmed the relationship. "It was never a big deal to begin with. The media made way more out of it than it is," a source close to Swift told People. "They went out on a few dates and realized this was just not going anywhere."
A person close to Lautner agreed, adding that distance had a lot to do with the split. "They became good friends and then went out a few times," the source said. "But he lives in L.A. and she lives in Nashville and their busy schedules kept it from becoming more than it was." The two had been seen hanging out all over the country, most notably hugging after one of her shows in Chicago in October. Although neither of them ever officially confirmed their relationship, Swift did wink at him during her opening monologue on "Saturday Night Live" and Lautner subsequently came to Swift's hypothetical rescue from Kanye West during his own episode of "SNL." Lautner recently went to Nashville to attend Swift's 20th birthday party, but it seems that was the beginning of the end, according to an US Weekly source. "He liked her more than she liked him. He went everywhere he could to see her, but she didn't travel much to see him," the source said, adding, "It wasn't really developing into anything and wasn't going to, so they decided they were better as friends."

| Missy Elliott's 'All 4 U,' Featuring Lil Wayne, Leaks To The Web Posted: 28 Dec 2009 11:30 PM PST Song is in consideration for Elliott's long-delayed Block Party album.
The invitation to Missy Elliott's long-delayed Block Party might be coming soon. "All 4 U," a collaboration between Elliott and Lil Wayne, leaked to the Internet over the holiday weekend. The song is among a number of tracks in consideration for Elliott's upcoming album, Block Party, her first solo project since 2005's The Cookbook. The syncopated track features Missy's trademark blend of rapping and singing, while Weezy delivers an X-rated verse. "Baby, what's up with you tonight/ You wanna get busy, I can read your mind," Missy purrs seductively on the song. Elliott only contributes one verse to "All 4 U" and more than half the song features just the instrumental. A representative for the Virginia native told MTV News on Tuesday (December 29) that the song is unfinished and "still really rough." Elliott has kept a low profile since her last album, which featured the Ciara-boosted hit "Lose Control," was released. She's appeared sparingly as a guest, including on a track by Keyshia Cole, and contributed to the soundtrack of the "Step Up 2: The Streets." As far as her own work, however, Block Party — her seventh album — has had a number of delays, most recently being pushed back from a summer 2009 release to the top of 2010. Behind the scenes, though, the Grammy-winning producer and songwriter has kept busy. Last year, Elliott worked with the Pussycat Dolls for their single "Whatcha Think About That." The all-female collective beamed on the set of their video when they discussed working in the studio with Elliott. "We threw down with Missy Elliott last night, and it was incredible," PCD member Kimberly Wyatt told MTV News. "For the first time in my life, I was weak in the knees. I was completely starstruck. I had butterflies." Related Artists |
