They auditioned together in Chicago last summer, and they've become good buds in the nine months since. They're both 24 years old and were vying to be the first Midwesterner to win the "American Idol" title. One, Ohioan Crystal Bowersox, was the odds-on favorite to win it all for most of season nine, while the other, low-key Illinois-bred Lee DeWyze, came on strong down the stretch and threatened to pull out an upset victory.

On Wednesday night (May 26), when all the hoopla, oldies acts and teary goodbyes to departing judge Simon Cowell were finally said and done, it was DeWyze who emerged victorious in an "Idol" upset for the ages.

While Bowersox hugged him and looked loose and relaxed, DeWyze seemed gripped by nerves as he awaited word from host Ryan Seacrest. When the verdict was read, the former paint-store clerk and high school dropout with a musical dream bent over and looked like he was going to be sick. He was quickly swarmed by the top 12, emerging with a smile and the outburst: "Oh my God!"

When Seacrest asked how it felt to be the new American Idol, DeWyze laughed nervously. "I don't know! This is amazing. Thank you guys so much for everything. Thank you. Thank you," he said breathlessly, gesturing to the crowd with tears in his eyes and then hugging Bowersox and telling her that he loved her. "I've never been happier in my life," he added before breaking into his coronation song, "Beautiful Day," as a rain of sparks, confetti and lasers filled the air in the Nokia Theatre.

It was an unlikely ending to an uneven season with what many considered the shallowest "Idol" talent pool in memory and which suffered from a nearly 10 percent decline in viewership — but is still the #1 show on TV. Season nine saw the addition of fourth judge Ellen DeGeneres, whose quips and twisted food metaphors sometimes fell flat, as well as the departure of Cowell, considered the heart and soul of the judging panel.

But before DeWyze could celebrate the realization of his long-sought musical dream, the two-hour show trotted out the usual assortment of time-fillers. The battling finalists first took the stage in burgundy Hogwarts-style school uniforms, which made sense a short time later as former Michael Jackson guitarist Orianthi shredded the opening licks to Alice Cooper's season-appropriate summer anthem "School's Out," which the top 12 lip-synched alongside a kids' choir with dead eyes and the Coop himself.

Last year's champ, Kris Allen, came by to sing his new ballad, "The Truth," and one of the show's biggest stars, Carrie Underwood, showed the newbies how it's done with her sassy new single, the Kara DioGuardi co-written country rocker "Undo It."

Third-place finisher Casey James got one of the most plum assignments of the night, singing Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," with accompaniment by none other than surprise guest Bret Michaels, making his first stage performance since a string of recent health crises including a heart scare and a nearly fatal brain hemorrhage.

Some of this season's castoffs got one more chance to shine, with shaky vocalist Siobhan Magnus teaming up with Teflon teen Aaron Kelly for the Bee Gees' "How Deep Is Your Love," which featured a cameo from the living Gibb brothers, Robin and Barry. Michael "Big Mike" Lynche hooked up with Michael McDonald for the Doobie Brothers' "Takin' It to the Streets," while the top five girls joined Crystal for Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" which morphed into the grinding "Stronger." Aguilera herself showed up halfway through and eased into her new piano ballad "You Lost Me," which she sang while standing on a pedestal covered with light bulbs and wearing a black catsuit and spangly tights.

The top 12 harmonized on Janet Jackson's "Again," with Ms. Jackson herself strutting out in flowing black Elvira dress and her new short hairdo to take center stage and sing the hushed balled "Nothing." She later stripped off the dress to reveal a skintight black bodysuit for a strut through her signature hit "Nasty."

DeWyze drew the relatively long straw by leading the top five men in a medley of Hall & Oates songs, including "I Can't Go for That" and "Maneater," before the real-deal duo came out and killed it on "You Make My Dreams Come True." DeWyze later joined the band Chicago for a medley of their hits, including "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?," "If You Leave Me Now" and "25 or 6 to 4."

But the night's breakout moment began with Bowersox singing Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" in her blues-mama voice before Morissette herself emerged and the two women circled each other and snarled out the lyrics to Alanis' breakthrough 1995 hit "You Oughta Know," on which their powerful voices perfectly meshed.

The night's final performance found Bowersox and DeWyze harmonizing on the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends" with an assist from the man whose cover of the song is the second-most definitive version, '60s rocker Joe Cocker.

And on Cowell's final night, former right-hand lady Paula Abdul came via tape to participate in a montage honoring Cowell's top moments on the program. Comedian Dane Cook debuted "The Things That Simon Said," a touching acoustic ballad that strung together some of his most famous insults, including, "You came across like a background singer for a background singer." He almost got the whole song out before a parade of the show's most famous rejects came out and loudmouth head loony Ian Benardo stole the microphone from the joke man.

There was also the obligatory visit from one of this season's freak-show wash outs, General Larry Platt, who sang a beat-infected version of "Pants on the Ground" accompanied by a troupe of pants-sagging hip-hop dancers and, of course the ultimate "Idol" joke, William Hung.

Later on, Abdul took the stage and gave an extended monologue about her relationship with Cowell, who she said brought "immeasurable joy" to her life, saying the show would not be the same without him — but that it will go on.

Original Idol Kelly Clarkson also made an appearance, teaming up with fellow winners Underwood, Allen, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Jordin Sparks and Taylor Hicks for "Together We Are One," which featured backup from a cavalcade of past top 12 finishers paying tribute to Cowell, who smiled as Abdul snuggled in his lap.

The acerbic judge then took the stage, admitting he was more overcome with emotion than he expected to be. "What Paula said is true: The show goes forward. It will be different," he said. "But I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the support, the fun and your sense of humor." Cowell then kicked it back to fans in the audience, saying they were the ultimate judges of the show and that they've done a great job over the years. "It's been a blast. Thank you."

As much as Cowell's exit dominated the conversation, the night ultimately belonged to DeWyze, who kept the three-season streak of male winners alive. And, like small-town good-guy singer Kris Allen's victory last year over power vocalist Adam Lambert, DeWyze's coronation proved once again that sometimes it's slow and steady that wins the race. As Simon said Tuesday night, America loves an underdog story, and even after being vocally lapped by Crystal on Tuesday, and for much of the season, the win went to the humble paint-store clerk — and nobody seemed more surprised by the outcome than Lee himself.

What did you think about Wednesday night's finale? What was the highlight? Did Lee deserve to win? Leave your comments below!

Lil Wayne And Shanell's 'Runnin' ' Video -- Check Out A Preview!

That clip, plus three other brand-new ones, will premiere during MTV Jams' Lil Tunechi Weekend.

Lil Tunechi Weekend: 'Runnin' ' (Featuring Shanell)

As the countdown continues to Lil Tunechi Weekend on MTV Jams and MTV2, our latest Lil Wayne video preview is a little different than the first two clips, "Da Da Da" and "Knockout."

The "Runnin' " video, with Young Money bombshell Shanell, finds Wayne void of his jovial mood and more reflective and serious.

"The loser, microphone abuser," Wayne raps in front of a TV screen that plays stock footage of turmoil across the world, including people starving in the streets and scenes of war and protest. "Feet hurtin', I just walked from Jerusalem/ So you should get on the side with the movement/ I'm the proof, and I'll die just to prove it/ Whatcha wanna know? Anything, whatever/ I can't tell ya, I can show ya better/ Me and my gun, we took an oath together/ Said I will never die if we both together."

The record has the feel of a true duet as Shanell sings, "Somebody tell me when's it gonna end/ Where's it gonna end up?"

She also has her own performance segment in the video to coincide with her verse. "I lost all my money/ I lost half my mind/ Can't find my direction/ Where's the finish line?" she sings.

Earlier this month, while talking to Mixtape Daily, the YM songstress said Weezy's camp is proud to play their part to keep his music in the spotlight.

"With Wayne being away right now, there's some people that wanna see you fail," Shanell explained. "I'm so happy that Wayne put this team of people together so that we could support him when the tables turn. Not really turn, but he can pass the baton."

This weekend, MTV Jams will also be debuting "Knockout" (featuring Nicki Minaj), "Get a Life" and "Da Da Da."

Which of the four new Wayne videos are you most excited to see this weekend? Let us know in the comments!

Rick Ross' <i>Albert Anastasia</i> Is 'Strictly For <i>Teflon Don</i> Lovers'

Posted: 27 May 2010 03:52 AM PDT

Mixtape is composed of 'completely new music, new beats' Ross says, in Mixtape Daily.

The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

Big up to the homey, video director Spiff TV (Waka Flocka Flame's "O Let's Do It" remix and a slew of Rick Ross clips including "Rich Off Cocaine"). His close friend and manager Rick Ross may be doing huge-budgeted mini-movies with the likes of Diddy and director F. Gary Gray, but the Miami Bawse promises that he'll never stop doing the straight-to-the-Net videos Spiff directed — videos that his fans have grown to love over the past couple of years.

"Of course, man. You know we'll never stop releasing those black-and-whites, those virals," Ross explained. "We're actually editing a slew of them right now. So get ready. ... That's just another way we bring [the music] to life. We add color to the situation. We really love to be a part of the music and the history."

"When I hear a dope Busta Rhymes record, I feel like that's a part of history, and I want to be a part of that," he added about his rampage of creating unofficial remixes by adding verses to singles like Drake's "Find Your Love," Rocko's "Maybe" and Erykah Badu's "Window Seat." "I want to be a part of that music. I want to put a verse on that. I don't look at it as every record I jump on or every record I do for someone as necessarily more shine. It's not necessarily the case. It's always being a part of that moment in time."

Thursday (May 27) is a huge moment in time as T.I. is slated to drop his F--- a Mixtape and Ross is putting out his Albert Anastasia EP. Both are mixtapes and both are free for fans. Another thing both tapes have in common is that they are composed strictly of new music.

"Of course not," Ross answered about whether or not we would hear some of those unofficial remixes on the tape. "You mentioned 'Window Seat.' Shout out to the beautiful Erykah Badu, we got some things we're working on too. But this new mixtape we're releasing right before Memorial weekend, it's gonna be completely new music, new beats. Dope street ideas. It's strictly for the Teflon Don lovers. It's strictly for everyone that's excited for [the album's release date] July 6."

One new track that also won't make the cut for the Double A EP is the "Teflon Don Freestyle." He's not saving it for the album either. It's just out there.

"Nah, that ain't gonna be on the album," he said. "I got stuff that's much more potent than that. It's crazy the way I love that 'Teflon Don' freestyle. But it's like, when I started writing it, it had the potential to be big. When I finished it, compared to other bodies of work, it wasn't even worth me putting a chorus on it. I love it, and I feel that's a part of my mixtape arrogance. It's like it's a gift. I know it's dope and I know it would be a single on other albums. But this ain't even gonna make the mixtape. Just for online. This is just for MTV, this is for the bloggers, this just for the people who can't wait."

Albert Anastasia EP Track Listing According To The Maybach Music Group

1. Diddy Intro (produced by Infamous)
2. MC Hammer (produced by Lex Luger)
3. Blowin' Money Fast (B.M.F.) (featuring Styles P, produced by Lex Luger)
4. Money Maker (produced by Boi-1da)

Usher's 'OMG': The Summer Jam Of 2010?

Posted: 27 May 2010 03:52 AM PDT

The club-approved single harkens back to his 'Yeah!' heyday.
By James Montgomery


Usher in his video for "OMG"

With his album Raymond v. Raymond and the overwhelming success of protégé Justin Bieber, it's already been a pretty good year for Usher.

But the real cherry on top would be if he could win the 2010 Summer Jam Sweepstakes. It looks like he has a good shot, thanks to his blazing single "OMG," a club-approved slab of electro-tinged R&B produced by the Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am. The song harkens back to his "Yeah!" heyday, and much like that massive 2004 track, "OMG" also reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Whether it has the longevity of "Yeah!" — which stuck at #1 for 12 consecutive weeks — remains to be seen, but with the summer season upon us, it's certainly possible "OMG" could remain on top for a long, long time.

Because, wow, does this one sound great in a cavernous club. All robotic vocals and icy, minimal beat, it's reminiscent (sonically, at least) of Rihanna's mega-anthem "Umbrella," the song that proved you can sound positively chilly and still heat up the summertime months. Ush and Will also performed the track earlier this year on "American Idol," and the video — a head-whirling mix of dance moves and high-tech wooshes — has already racked up more than 4 million views on YouTube. So the stage seems set for it to dominate the summer.

Even if "OMG" does face some rather formidable competition this summer — from the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and B.o.B — Ush has been to the top of the mountain before, and we're not willing to bet against him this time out. Not to mention, there's nobody in the business who heats up a club the way Usher Raymond does. OMG, indeed.

Vote for the summer jam of 2010 in the MTV Newsroom now, and stay tuned all week for more on the hottest songs of the season.

Sarah Jessica Parker Picks Her Favorite 'Sex And The City 2' Scene

'When I got to that stuff, I thought, 'All bets are off,' ' Parker says of scene involving Aidan.
By Jocelyn Vena

In "Sex and the City 2," opening Thursday, Carrie makes a trek with her girls to Abu Dhabi, where she runs into onetime love Aidan. While fans are already weighing in on the great Mr. Big vs. Aidan debate, Sarah Jessica Parker told MTV News it was that pivotal scene in which the exes meet again that stands out as her "favorite."

"One of my favorite, favorite scenes that [director/screenwriter Michael Patrick King] wrote, and I can't explain why, is when Carrie is in the souk and she buys the pair of shoes and she talks to the beautiful man — that great actor who played the merchant — and then she turns around and she sees Aidan," Parker said.

The actress, whose turn as Carrie Bradshaw in both TV and film has made the character iconic, said that credit for those memorable scenes belongs to King.

"When I got to that stuff [about Aidan], I thought, 'All bets are off.' I just loved the way he wrote that entire middle section of the movie," Parker continued. "I love everything that he wrote, but that, visually, just in terms of the visual, it just really was arresting."

Parker explained that during the filmmaking process she's "so much a part of the beginning," but she falls back once King starts working his magic on a script.

"He really does go away and lock himself up and write alone," she said. "And it really is a solitary endeavor. ... There were visuals that were really, really, really important for me when I was first reading the script. Michael writes visuals as beautifully as he does words."

'Sex And The City 2': Lost Girls, By Kurt Loder

Posted: 26 May 2010 01:41 AM PDT

The party's over.

"Sex and the City 2" is a ghastly mess, a stake in the heart of the great TV series that ran from 1998 to 2004. This second "SATC" movie (I liked the first one) is misconceived on every level. Consider:

1. After opening with the usual helicopter footage of New York skyscrapers (Look, there's the Chrysler Building!), this very long picture decamps for what seems like half an hour to a gay wedding in Connecticut, complete with glittery male choir and a Liza Minnelli (!) dance number, which nearly sinks the film on its own. It then decamps even farther to Abu Dhabi, of all places, where there's no sex and, for the story's purposes, no city either. This is where most of the movie takes place.

2. Whereas the old TV series pioneered a mature new female candor about sex and relationships, this movie gives ample screen time to a busty young nanny who's shown cavorting with kids in a park while her breasts leap around inside her blouse with a life of their own. Later we see her chest accidentally sprayed with water, which turns that scene into a one-girl wet T-shirt contest.

3. To balance things out, we also meet a group of young hunks at a swimming pool and are given close-up crotch shots of their bulging Speedos. Later there's a hunky Danish architect and a lingering close-up of his crotch in all of its protruding tumescence. This character has naturally caught the eye of our gal Samantha (Kim Cattrall), still ravenously randy at the age of 52. She asks his name. It's Richard Spirtz. She decides to just call him Dick.

4. The writing, which was one of the glories of the TV series, sharp and pungent, is here abysmally juvenile. Samantha, upon learning that a World Cup soccer team has arrived on the scene: "Did they bring their balls?" And later, spotting a hot guy in the desert: "Lawrence of my labia!" At one point someone actually says, "Abu Dhabi do!"

No movie this boldly brainless should be set in an Islamic city — even one as famously Westernized as Abu Dhabi. After Samantha, who's been recruited to do PR for a local luxury hotel, arrives on the scene with her pals Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), we soon see them swanning around in their usual wildly inappropriate clothing (they seem to don garish new outfits every five minutes) and — in one of the film's many preposterous sequences — breaking out in a karaoke rendition of "I Am Woman" at a hotel nightclub while the other women in the audience — some of them Arab — cheer and sing along.

Since the position of women in traditional Islamic societies is famously, shall we say, constricted, there are issues to be dealt with here that are beyond the grasp of bubble-headed comedy. Miranda grows momentarily irate at the sight of so many Arab women wearing face-covering niqabs, but she can only respond with a very Western feminist gripe: "Some men really don't like strong women!" (As if she and they were victims of the same oppression.) We also briefly note that upon checking into the hotel, Charlotte drops her married name, Goldenblatt, in favor of her more goyish maiden name. This issue, too, is quickly shooed away.

Why writer/director Michael Patrick King felt compelled to take the "SATC" girls out of glamorous Manhattan and deposit them in the arid Middle East is baffling. The sleek elegance of their native turf was always part of the old series' fun. Abu Dhabi, with its golden domes and gaudy chandeliers and $22,000-a-night hotel suites, makes Miami look like Geneva by comparison. And Carrie and company are no longer footloose 30-somethings in the American city of dreams. They're now 40-somethings (and more, in the case of the loudly menopausal Samantha), and most of them are married, and feeling stifled. The high spirits that once drew us to them are long gone. Possibly King realized that the franchise was near-dead anyway, and awaited only the coup de grâce. This movie should provide it.

It's "Sex and The City 2" Week at MTV News! Check out everything we've got on the film!

Travie McCoy Recalls His 'Hot Mess' Days On 'When I Was 17'

Posted: 27 May 2010 03:52 AM PDT

'In my brain, I was sexy,' Gym Class Heroes frontman laughs on the show, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
By James Montgomery

When he was 17 years old, Travie McCoy wasn't the long, lean sex machine most know him as today. Quite the opposite, in fact.

"Travie McCoy at 17 [was] crafty, artistic, but not sexy at all," McCoy laughed. "But in my brain, I was sexy."

But pretty much only in his brain. As an oddly proportioned kid growing up in Geneva, New York, McCoy was a gangly mix of dreads, tats, piercings and, of course, more than a little baby fat. It's the kind of thing he and his Gym Class Heroes mates can look back and laugh at now, but at the time, the situation was downright dire, as you can learn on the next episode of "When I Was 17," airing Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.

"When Trav was 17 — I don't know if he'd want me to tell you guys, but he looked like a hot mess," laughed Gym Class drummer Matt McGinley, who met McCoy in high school and soon formed the group with him. "Trav kinda was big, tall, was a little pudgier than most kids. He was a pretty gnarly-looking kid at 17."

Of course, as we all know, McCoy overcame his awkward phase and has since gone on to become an emo/hip-hop heartthrob of the highest order — the guy who, at one point, had Katy Perry on his arm. And with his first-ever solo album, Lazarus, due next month, his sex-symbol status can only get bigger. So perhaps it's a good thing to look back on his old high school photos and laugh a bit.

"When Travis was 17, he had no game," his friend Chelsey laughed. "[He was] very tattooed, dreads, piercing."

"When I Was 17" — this week featuring McCoy, Kris Allen and Kourtney Kardashian — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.

An Oscar. A Golden Globe. Almost $700 million in worldwide box-office sales. From "The Blind Side" to "The Proposal," Sandra Bullock has had one heck of an amazing year on the big screen — a richly deserved payoff after a more than two-decade-long career in Hollywood. That's why at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, we're bestowing MTV's highest honor, the Generation Award, to Bullock, who will be on hand during the show to accept the honor.

And, of course, we just kinda love her. How can you not? She's played sweethearts and badasses, damaged and righteous women, goofy gals and damsels in distress. She's shared the screen with Sylvester Stallone, Keanu Reeves, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, Ben Affleck and Ryan Reynolds. She can pop off LOL-inducing one-liners in one movie and execute a sucker-punch to your soul in another. She's already won four MTV Movie Awards.

For all these reasons and more, Bullock is this year's MTV Generation Award honoree. Past recipients include Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey, but this is the first time a woman has ever been honored.

"Sandra is one of those rare individuals who is adored by our audience as both an actress and a role model," said Stephen Friedman, general manager of MTV. "Recognizing her remarkable talent, amazing range of films and her visceral connection to our audience around the globe, we are honored to present her with our MTV Generation Award."

It's set to be a big evening for Bullock, as both "Blind Side" and "Proposal" are up for awards. Fan voting in all of these categories is now under way at MovieAwards.MTV.com and will stay open through Saturday, June 5. Voting for Best Movie, however, will stay open throughout the awards show itself, which means you'll have a chance to affect the night's biggest prize until the very last minute.

Hosted by Aziz Ansari, the Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET. "The Hangover" leads the field with six nominations, followed by five each for "Avatar" and "New Moon." Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be in the house to present an exclusive clip from "Eclipse." Christina Aguilera is set to perform a song from new album, Bionic, while Katy Perry will take the stage for a rendition of her summer anthem "California Gurls." Confirmed presenters include Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Zac Efron, Jonah Hill, Jessica Biel, Bradley Cooper, Steve Carell, Miranda Cosgrove, Shaun White, Vanessa Hudgens, Sean "Diddy" Combs, the cast of "The Grown Ups" (Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider), Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Aubrey Plaza.

Bret Michaels 'Didn't Tell' Doctors He Was Performing On 'American Idol' Finale

Singer performed 'Every Rose Has Its Thorn' with Casey James.

LOS ANGELES — According to Bret Michaels, his surprise performance Wednesday night (May 26) on the "American Idol" season finale was much-needed musical therapy.

Anticipation built quickly in the audience when the familiar guitar chords of one of Michaels' biggest hits with his group Poison, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," began and he later emerged on stage with top-three finalist Casey James.

"I needed to be here and do this because it's been two months since I played," the rocker said backstage at the Nokia Theatre shortly after his performance. "It's been a month and a half in the hospital. It was such an amazing feeling to come out here and jam with Casey. I didn't tell [my doctors] I was going to do this. I just told them I was doing the 'Celebrity Apprentice' finale. They're going to find out in a minute. But I feel great, I gotta be honest. There's still a lot of pain I'm still experiencing. [But] except for a little hitch ... my left side from the ... stroke, I feel amazing."

Last month the singer and reality show star was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital again last week because of a "warning stroke." On Sunday he appeared on the "Celebrity Apprentice" finale and was named the victor, and he says that he's ready to hit the road again.

"I can't believe my family let me out. I may not have told them either; I left a few things out," he joked. "But I needed this for my soul. Honestly. It was a great experience."

He said that he plans to perform again as soon as Friday in Biloxi, Mississippi.

"[I'm going to] do a few shows at a time. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, I'll start again," he said.

Michaels also reflected on lessons he learned while hospitalized. "I've always tried to treat people with respect and I've always tried to treat people great. I enjoy every day — every minute I'm here is awesome."

Michaels joked that he wasn't exactly sure what he would be doing, now that he's won the title of "Celebrity Apprentice." He also said that he initially didn't know if he was hired or fired by Donald Trump.

"I leaned in and said, 'Did you say hired or fired?' I didn't know what he said. I just jumped up. I thought, 'Trump, you're not going to fire me right now. I'm on medication. I flew a long way. Holly is amazing. She's a fierce competitor,' " he said of his co-finalist, Holly Robinson Peete. "I didn't ask Trump 'What does being "Celebrity Apprentice" entail? Do you get paid? Is there cash involved?' But what do you gotta do for him? Hopefully, you get to do a lot of charity fundraising. If that's what it is, I'm going to love it."

And as for that hospital stay?

"I've spent the last month and a half in the hospital. I don't ever want to see a hospital again," he said. "I just want to go out and have a great time."

Janet Jackson Sings 'Nothing,' Gets 'Nasty' On 'American Idol'

Singer wows 'Idol' viewers with back-to-back performances of new song 'Nothing,' followed by classic 'Nasty.'

As the season-nine finale of "American Idol" drew close to the finish line, the crowd gathered at the Nokia Theatre and the viewers at home waited nervously for either single mom Crystal Bowersox or paint salesman Lee DeWyze to be crowned the winner. But even as their fates hung in the air, the rest of the season's competitors flocked to the stage one last time to sing "Again," the 1993 single from Janet Jackson's fifth studio album, Janet.

The former "Idol" hopefuls' collective moment in the spotlight ended shortly as Jackson herself graced the stage for a moving rendition of her new song "Nothing," recorded for the soundtrack of Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too?," which she also starred in. With her hair pulled back tight and her black dress flowing, Jackson proceeded to provide the audience with waves of heartfelt emotion as she sang: "And the truth is that I realize/ Love is fading from your eyes/ Don't know how it came to this/ But we can get it fixed tonight."

Jackson's sweet song didn't stay sweet for long. As she finished her version of "Nothing," the 44-year-old singer momentarily left the stage and was replaced by a host of male dancers wearing white shirts and black slacks. When she returned, Jackson's dress was gone and replaced by a skintight black bodysuit, signaling the transition from the mournful beauty of "Nothing" to the fast-paced nitty-gritty of "Nasty," Jackson's second single from her third studio album, Control (1986).

A light show of green lasers shot through the Nokia Theatre as Jackson moved aggressively against her fellow dancers, all of whom finished the performance sans shirts. Although significantly more clothed than her stagemates, Jackson was clearly just as thrilled as the dancers as she warmly waved and blew kisses to both the audience and the judges' table at the end of her performance.

Vampire Weekend 'Holiday' Video Premieres Today On MTV/MTV2!

Posted: 27 May 2010 09:44 AM PDT

Low-budget clip for Contra single shows band dressed in powdered wigs and stockings and ordering burgers.
By James Montgomery


Vampire Weekend's "Holiday"

Vampire Weekend's "Holiday" is a rather cutting assessment of capitalism and colonialism and the special sort of cocoon both those things help create. With lyrical nods to republics on the beach, the tea trade and a girl who decides to protest the war by going vegetarian (as opposed to, you know, doing anything that may actually help), it's the kind of whip-smart pop that's in short supply these days — a cranky and clever tweaking of hideous Americans abroad, and equally hideous Americans at home.

Needless to say, "Holiday" probably won't be burning up the nation's airwaves anytime soon, but that hasn't stopped VW from releasing it as the third single off their surprisingly successful Contra album. And you can sort of understand why. After scoring a #1 album and a pair of unlikely rock-radio hits, they're playing with house money at this point anyway.

To accompany their odd choice for a single, the band has delivered an equally odd video, a delightfully low-budget clip (no Jake Gyllenhaal here) that sees the Vampire guys parading around Southern California dressed as dandy, European gentlemen of leisure. Powdered wigs, waistcoats, breeches, stockings and a whole lot of ruffled accoutrements — it's all there.

And while it may be hilarious to watch them prance around SoCal, order In-N-Out Burger (at least, I think it's In-N-Out Burgers) and pound on surfers down by the beach, there's probably a deeper message here: These are exactly the same kind of out-of-touch, entitled intellectuals frontman Ezra Koenig is singing about in the song — only from about 300 years ago. These powdered ponces conquered, enslaved and trampled those less fortunate than them, and did so for centuries, before they were eventually overthrown (and mostly beheaded) by the same folks they'd been subjugating.

I'll let you draw the comparisons to, say, the last 50 years of U.S. foreign policy or the creeping advance of capitalism on the undeveloped world ... and what may very well be waiting around the corner for us one day if we keep it up. Or, you know, you could just laugh at the dudes in the funny wigs. It kind of works either way.

And that's sort of the brilliance of Vampire Weekend. "Holiday" might not be the same kind of hit as "Cousins" or "Giving Up the Gun," but that's hardly the point. Just by getting this one out there, they've already won, even if it's just a tiny victory. Don't let the boat shoes and pique polo shirts fool you — Vampire Weekend are downright dangerous dudes. That you can dance to, of course.

Do you think "Holiday" will be another Vampire Weekend hit? Let us know in the comments.

'Every Rose Has Its Thorn': Behind The Song

Rock ballad Bret Michaels performed on 'American Idol' was Poison's first — and only — #1 hit.

Bret Michaels surprised millions of viewers, turning up on the season-nine finale of "American Idol" to perform "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." The guest spot was Michaels' first major musical appearance since suffering a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage last month, followed by a series of health-related setbacks.

So what's the story behind that song? To some, it's a tune made familiar by star Miley Cyrus, who recently covered it. But for Michaels (and Poison fans), the song's history runs much deeper. In an episode to devoted to him on VH1's "Behind the Music," Michaels revealed that he wrote "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" as a way to cope in the aftermath of his breakup from then-girlfriend Tracy Lewis.

According to the Poison frontman, the song's titular rose represented his blossoming music career, while the thorn was a metaphor for how success had cost him the relationship with Lewis. Though forged from heartbreak, "Every Rose" ultimately rose to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for three weeks, from December 1988 to January 1989. It was Poison's first, and only, #1 hit.

"Every Rose" became not only a commercial success, but also found a place within popular culture. The track played a memorable role in 1991's "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey," with the flick's rock-obsessed idiots reciting lyrics from the song in order to gain entry to heaven. And Michaels collaborated with Cyrus for her remake of the Poison tune, which landed on her latest album, Can't Be Tamed.

Of course, the song surfaced again during Wednesday night's (May 26) "American Idol." Singing the track opposite third-place finisher Casey James, Michaels provided his supporters with a powerful message: Just as "every rose has its thorn, and every night has its dawn," Michaels' troubles are coupled — and exceeded — by his triumphs.

Simon Cowell Gets Elaborate Farewell From Paula Abdul, 'American Idol'

Posted: 26 May 2010 08:04 AM PDT

'I didn't think I was going to be this emotional, but I genuinely am,' Simon says on 'Idol' finale.
By James Montgomery

Although the main point of Thursday night's (May 26) "American Idol" finale was — in theory, at least — to crown a new champion, ever since Simon Cowell announced back in January that he'd be leaving the show at the end of season nine, fans had been wondering how the show would unfold.

Now we know. Cowell's departure was treated with equal parts humor and sadness, a mix of a Friars Club roast and a genuine, heartfelt tribute show. And, somewhat fittingly, it culminated in the single largest performance in "Idol" history.

Show producers poked fun at Cowell's notoriously prickly demeanor with a series of vignettes, titled "Simon Cowell: Uncovered," which featured some of his greatest put-downs and bust-ups, along with joking barbs from his soon-to-be former fellow "Idol" judges.

"I think Simon has an incredible poker face. He's got an ability to really hold back what he's feeling," Kara DioGuardi said, while a montage of Cowell cracking up during particularly odious auditions rolled. "He's very professional."

"Is Simon a flirt?" Paula Abdul asked with a laugh at one point. Abdul, of course, shared the judges' table for eight years with Cowell. "Yeah, if you're a mirror," she said.

There was also a song that sampled some of Cowell's greatest put-downs ("You sounded like a cat being thrown off a skyscraper"; "If you win this contest, we will have failed"; "You sounded like a background singer for a background singer," etc.). The ditty was performed by comedian Dane Cook, but oddly, it was interrupted by onetime Cowell sparring mate Ian Benardo, who swiped the mic and launched into a "Kanye moment," declaring, "Nobody cares, it's all about Ian Benardo tonight. I'm going to replace you tonight, Simon!"

The mic was quickly wrested away from Bernardo by none other than fellow "Idol" oddball Normund Gentle, as cameras pulled away and show producers cut to commercial break. And yet, for a guy who had spent nine seasons shooting down the dreams of "Idol" hopefuls, it was a strangely fitting tribute too.

Also jibing with the "oddball" category was Abdul's appearance. She appeared center-stage to pay homage to her friend and former colleague, but things quickly devolved, as she joked in her patented mumbled banter about leaving the show because she and Cowell had a love child.

Still, things quickly improved from there, as Cowell was serenaded by seven of the eight "Idol" champions, all of whom had been crowned under his watch (only David Cook was M.I.A.). Then a group of some of the show's other favorites from seasons past joined the seven, swelling the total number of performers to well over 30.

As the crowd cheered, host Ryan Seacrest beckoned Cowell onto the stage, and gave him the microphone. Standing center-stage, with some of the greatest "Idols" surrounding him, the man known for his massive ego seemed downright touched.

"I didn't think I was going to be this emotional, but I genuinely am. ... The show goes forward, it will be different, but I just want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the support, the fun, and your sense of humor," Cowell said. "You know what he truth is, when everyone asks who's going to replace me, who's going to be the next judge, the truth is, you guys are the judge of this show. And you've done an incredible job over the years ... it's been a blast."

And then he turned to Seacrest — his sparring partner of nine years — and, getting a bit choked up, said, "Even you ... I'm going to honestly, honestly miss you."

As the show cut to commercial, Cowell smiled and waved to the crowd ... it was genuinely touching. The end of an era. The beginning of the end. Both.

Christina Aguilera Tears Up 'You Lost Me' On 'American Idol' Finale

Christina Aguilera may have taken a few years off to raise her son, but the singer proved she's back in a big way on the "American Idol" finale Wednesday night (May 26).

The singer — who will perform at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards on June 6 — tore into a stirring, soulful version of "You Lost Me," a track from her forthcoming Bionic LP, that proved, if there were any doubt, that she's got one of the best voices in the business.

Aguilera took the stage after this season's female contestants — Lacey Brown, Didi Benami, Katie Stevens, Siobhan Magnus and Crystal Bowersox — performed a medley of her hits "Beautiful" and "Fighter," emerging from below the stage to help put the finishing flourishes on the latter, then, as the stage went dark, stepping out into a spotlight for her solo.

Accompanied by somber strings and a piano, hair pulled back in her Bionic curls, and wearing a demure black ensemble, Aguilera started softly, singing about smoking guns, lost magic and the tragedy of a dying relationship, then picked up steam from there as the music swirled beneath her. The middle section of the song was smoky and solemn, Aguilera stretching the notes, then, eyes closed and right arm outstretched, sang for the rafters.

Her voice got bigger and bigger as the song entered the home stretch, but she never let things get out of control, and brought the tune home with a simple, breathy "You lost me."

And as the "Idol" audience gave her a much-deserved standing ovation, it became clear that Aguilera still has got the goods to go up against anyone.

Crystal Bowersox, Alanis Morissette Unite For 'You Oughta Know' On 'American Idol' Finale

Duo perform Morissette's mega-hit after Bowersox's solo performance of 'Ironic.'

Back in February, Crystal Bowersox took the "American Idol" stage to perform Alanis Morissette's "Hand in My Pocket." It didn't go so well. Simon Cowell accused her of sounding like a thousand buskers outside a thousand different subway stations.

Bowersox got her revenge on Wednesday night's (May 26) finale when she united with Morissette for a duet that brought the crowd at the Nokia Theatre to its feet. The "Idol" finalist got the performance started with a solo take on Morissette's "Ironic," a song that reached the #4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

She then turned dramatically toward the back of the stage and welcomed her fellow artist onto the stage for a duet of the Grammy-winning best-seller "You Oughta Know," another cut off Morissette's 1995 album Jagged Little Pill. As Morissette strode out under the bright blue lights of the "Idol" stage, the two singers exchanged verses, crisscrossed the stage and finally met in the middle, voices wailing, smiles wide.

Buskers, they weren't. The performance was not without its share of ironies. After Cowell dismissed Crystal's effort in February, the singer bounced back to establish herself as one of the show's undeniable front-runners the very next week when she busted out a killer version of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Long as I Can See the Light." She hasn't looked back since. And Bowersox has come to count Cowell as one of her biggest supporters.

On Tuesday's show, Cowell praised Bowersox's performance of "Up to the Mountain," saying, "I thought that was by far the best performance and the song of the night. And since this is going to be the final critique I'm ever going to give, I would just like to say that was outstanding."

After suffering a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage in April, discovering a hole in his heart earlier this month and beating out Holly Robinson Peete on "The Celebrity Apprentice" on Sunday, one would think Bret Michaels had gone through enough over the past several weeks.

Not so, apparently, as the Poison frontman surprised the masses yet again by appearing on Wednesday night's (May 26) "American Idol" season-nine finale for an inspiring and rocking musical performance.

The performance began as third-place finisher Casey James took the stage, slowly strumming his rendition of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Audience anticipation quickly built to a fever pitch as it dawned on the Nokia Theatre crowd and the folks at home that Michaels was about to grace the stage. Sure enough, a healthy-looking Michaels appeared with guitar in hand, gradually making his way to stand side-by-side with the clearly enthused James.

In light of Michaels' recent health scares, the lyrics to "Every Rose" suddenly took on new meaning: "Though its been awhile now/ I can still feel so much pain/ Like a knife that cuts you, the wound heals/ But the scar, that scar remains."

But Michaels wasn't dwelling on any scars of his own. Strumming along and singing as loudly and proudly as ever before, the rocking Poison musician more than held his own on the "American Idol" stage. In a night already filled with many unforgettable performances, Michaels' appearance was undoubtedly one of the evening's most powerful and uplifting moments.

'Spider-Man' Reboot Lead Role Down To Five Finalists?

Posted: 26 May 2010 07:50 AM PDT

Rising young actors with 'Harry Potter,' 'Billy Elliott' and other screen credits reportedly on shortlist to play Peter Parker.
By Brian Warmoth


Jamie Bell

Director Marc Webb said earlier this year that he was "casting a wide net" for an actor to play Peter Parker in the next installment of "Spider-Man", reboot of the franchise.

Already, Webb, who directed "(500) Days of Summer," has talked up the film with the star of his '09 romantic comedy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and rumors have surfaced linking Josh Hutcherson and "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" star Logan Lerman to the movie.

While reports that Lerman is in the running have been all but dismissed, a new report claims that Hutcherson and four other young actors have made Webb and Columbia Pictures' shortlist for the Spidey role. Jamie Bell, Alden Ehrenreich, Frank Dillane and Andrew Garfield round out the finalists under consideration to succeed Tobey Maguire, according The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog.

Their credits range from the lead role in "Billy Elliot" (Bell) to the young Tom Riddle in 2009's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (Dillane). Even the lesser-known actors, however, come with big-name directors attached to their onscreen appearances: Garfield worked with Terry Gilliam for "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus" and Ehrenreich with Francis Ford Coppola on "Tetro." The studio is reportedly taking its time in choosing among these relative unknowns, and has declined to publicly address casting rumors.

All five would fit visually with the younger incarnation of Parker that Webb is said to be conceptualizing. "Spider-Man" screenwriter Alvin Sargent recently signed on to write the script for the movie, which is expected to be shot in 3-D and bear some resemblance to Brian Michael Bendis' "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics. The would-be Peter Parkers named range in age from 17 to 27, reinforcing the old Hollywood rule that actors need only look young to play young.

If Columbia plans to begin shooting the fourth Spider-Man film by the end of the year, they still have some time to reach a decision. But with the annual Comic-Con just two months away, any surprise panel appearances by someone like Webb will undoubtedly be met by an onslaught of questions.

Ian Benardo Crashes 'American Idol' Finale Stage

'This is a Kanye moment,' former 'Idol' hopeful declares during Simon Cowell farewell segment.
By Josh Wigler

No matter who walked away with the coveted "American Idol" crown on Wednesday night, neither Crystal Bowersox nor Lee DeWyze left the Nokia Theatre as the most surprised person in the auditorium. That's a distinction that undoubtedly falls on Simon Cowell after onetime "Idol" hopeful Ian Benardo stormed the stage and, in his own words, pulled a Kanye West by ripping into the outgoing judge.

At the end of an original musical number titled "Simon Said," performed by comedian Dane Cook, a plethora of contestants formerly burned by the brutally honest Cowell flocked to the stage to join Cook's derisive song. But the microphone was quickly hogged by Benardo, who was famously rejected by Cowell during a New York City "American Idol" audition in 2007.

"Who cares? It's all about Ian Benardo tonight!" the stage-crashing Benardo announced to a packed crowd. "I'm going to replace you, Simon Cowell! No one has a thing to say about you — just me. This is a Kanye moment, and I'm ... "

Benardo's rant was swiftly interrupted by another of Cowell's many victims, Tatiana Del Toro, but the self-proclaimed Kanye imitator resumed his place in the spotlight with little trouble. "Nobody cares about you," he told Del Toro. "It's all about Ian Benardo, and I want to say I'm replacing you, Simon Cowell, because I'm more entertaining!"

According to a conversation before the show between Del Toro and MTV News' "Idol" expert Jim Cantiello, the "Simon Said" performance was supposed to feature all the formerly burned contestants getting their retribution against Cowell. Unfortunately for them, Benardo's tirade forced "Idol" producers to end the segment early — although others certainly got their last licks in on Cowell before the night was through.

T.I. Says He's 'Reppin' ' For Lil Wayne While He's In Jail

'His daughter and my daughter, they're real, real close,' Tip says.

T.I. says he'll always have Lil Wayne's back. Just a few short months ago, Tip was in Wayne's shoes, having to put his career on hold and telling his loved ones goodbye while he served time in prison.

"Yeah, I speak to him. Sure," Tip said earlier this week in the MTV Newsroom when asked if he's in contact with Weezy. Tip said their relationship is a lot deeper than trading 16 bars on each other's songs.

"Well, his daughter and my daughter, they're real, real close," Tip explained. "My daughter spends the night with them, his daughter comes to spend the night with us. I told him, 'Whatever I can do. Whatever it is that's within my power' ... I know how it is with kids, especially with a period of time like that.

"Even though it may seem like a short time — to the media, it may seem like 'He got off easy'; to everybody, it may seem like 'It's only a couple of months' — to a child, that's an eternity," he continued. "So I'm like, 'Whatever I can do, it's all good.' I just let him know there's people out here who's still reppin' for him, people who will go above and beyond to do whatever needs to be done."

While sitting down with MTV News, Tip also revealed that while he was incarcerated, Eminem was a peer that supported him.

"Especially since I went through my situation [with having to go to prison]. [He would] just kinda remind me that 'I've been through dark period in my life too. You're gonna make it. You're one of the ones we need, so you're gonna make it. Stand tall and walk the walk,' " Tip said. "He just made it a point to always reassure me of the spot that I hold in this thing that we got called hip-hop. It was incredibly helpful. It was incredibly noble of him, in my eyes, to even take the time out to reach out to me. We continue to stay in touch," Tip said. "He wrote me since I was in the joint. We've spoken several time since I've been back home. We maintain a healthy relationship."

Next up, Tip is releasing a project straight to the streets and Internet on Thursday — for free. It's called F--- a Mixtape and is hosted by DJs Drama and MLK. Lil Wayne guests on the project.
