| Justin Bieber's Unstoppable Year: A VMA Cheat Sheet Posted: 08 Sep 2010 03:50 AM PDT Best New Artist nominee will perform at Sunday's VMAs.
Remember when Justin Bieber was just an up-and-coming pop singer who presented at the 2009 VMAs and gave one lucky fan a red-carpet shout-out? Well, since then, he has become a one-man pop-music sensation by dominating the charts, the airwaves and teen girls' hearts.
Just two months after last year's VMAs, Bieber dropped his debut album, My World, and never looked back. He followed up the release with his spring 2010 sophomore album, My World 2.0. In the process, the 16-year-old has worked with everyone from Ludacris and Sean Kingston to Jaden Smith and even Kanye West and Raekwon on a "Runaway Love" remix. And let's not forget: He's even had an offer to have Mark Wahlberg leave rap retirement to jump on a track with him someday. Bieber's career has been pretty much controversy-free, though he did have fans, VMA host Chelsea Handler and Bill O'Reilly riled up over his friendship, and subsequent Elle photo spread, with reality starlet Kim Kardashian. There have also been a few fan stampedes. Last November, Bieber had to cancel a Long Island mall appearance after his fans got a little out of hand. That incident was followed by equally zealous fan moments in Paris, New Zealand and Australia. While he's appeared on the small screen thanks to his own "Diary" special and a stint on "SNL," he will kick it up a notch later this month on "CSI," when he plays bad boy Jason McCann. On top of all of that, he met the president, topped Lady Gaga on YouTube, showed his funny side on April Fool's Day when he took over Funny or Die, hung out with Drake at the Much Music Awards, got a tattoo and released a number of music videos, including his VMA-nominated "Baby," "Somebody to Love," "Never Say Never" and "Eenie Meenie." Now, with a VMA nod for Best New Artist and a highly anticipated VMA performance, whether he wins or loses, he will come out on top, thanks to his upcoming music video for "U Smile," his 2011 3-D flick and the release of his first book, "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever," in October. Bieber will find out if all the highs of the past 12 months can land him his first Moonman. The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday. Related Videos Related Photos |
| Gucci Mane Says <i>The Appeal</i> Is 'A Masterpiece' Posted: 08 Sep 2010 03:50 AM PDT In the meantime, he and DJ Holiday tide fans over with Jewelry Selection, in Mixtape Daily.

Joints to Check For "Block Party" (featuring Alley Boy): "We did this for the block. If you represent the street, any cuddy corner, you're gonna feel this track right here," Holiday said. "Electricity": "It's one of the biggest songs," Holiday explained. "It's gonna be in the clubs coming up. It's going to be one of the biggest street records, I personally think. I never let you down, MTV. It's one of them records. If you got them diamonds, them stones in your chain, you're gonna turn this one up." "Stone Cold": "I feel strongly about this record," Holiday boasted. "It's one of them records that makes you feel you need to wake up, wipe your face with a stack of 20s, and do whatever you need to do to start our day and just grind. It's called 'Stone Cold.'

| Lady Gaga, Eminem, Justin Bieber: VMA Predictions Posted: 08 Sep 2010 03:50 AM PDT Bigger Than the Sound guesses Sunday's big winners.
The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards are right around the corner — and by "corner," I mean Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT. This is great news for pretty much everyone, particularly Lady Gaga fans and those with an unquenchable thirst for the art of wagering (or, as some people call it, "a dangerous and destructive gambling addiction").
See, the VMAs are arguably the greatest gambling event of the year, although winners are voted on by fans, which makes predicting the show's outcome nearly impossible. Still, none of that has stopped me from making my VMA predictions for two straight years now, with varying degrees of success. What can I say? I like to live dangerously. So I've decided to throw on the old prognostication cap and do it again this year. Here are my ironclad picks for the 2010 Video Music Awards. Satisfaction (and accuracy) guaranteed. Only not really. Best Male Video My Take: Drake's "Find Your Love" is ambitious, but some subtitles would definitely have been appreciated. Jason Derülo and Usher both packed a whole lot of smoove moves into their clips, but there's only one logical choice ... My Pick: Eminem. The fans determine the winners at the VMAs, and there's a reason Recovery keeps selling 100,000 copies a week. Best Female Video My Take: Taylor Swift is sort of the wild card here, but I think Best Female boils down to a race between Katy Perry, Beyoncé (with Gaga) and, uh, Gaga again. My Pick: Lady Gaga. Her fans are insane and will put her over the top in a tight race. Don't feel too bad for Perry, though. I have a feeling she'll be getting her award a bit later in the night. Best Rock Video My Take: Not to nitpick, because I'm glad Florence and the Machine are getting some shine, but it's odd to me that Vampire Weekend, an equally indie act that had a #1 album this year (and a pair of well-received videos) weren't nominated in this category. On a more positive note, I'm glad MGMT's delightfully weird "Flash Delirium" did get a nod ... I honestly thought I was the only person who actually dug it. My Pick: 30 Seconds to Mars. Never underestimate the voting power of the Echelon (that's the codename for their super intense fanbase, btw). Also, never harmlessly refer to said fanbase as "the so-called Echelon" in a story, either, lest you want your inbox to be flooded with angry e-mails from kids in Germany. Trust me on this one. Best Hip-Hop Video My Take: A category loaded with heavy-hitters, Best Hip-Hop Video is basically the Group of Death at the 2010 VMAs. When in doubt, you gotta go with the one video that has the most big names attached to it. Which means ... My Pick: Drake, Kanye, Weezy, Em, celebrity chef Mario Batali and 23rd president of the United States Benjamin Harrison for the win! The engravers will be working overtime trying to fit all their names on one Moonman. Related: Who actually gets to keep this award? Best Pop Video My Take: Another hotly contested category, and Lady Gaga is once again nominated twice. So I'm going upset special on this one ... My Pick: Katy Perry. She's the undisputed Queen of Summer 2010, and she shocks the world here. Hopefully she'll also be wearing some sort of chest-mounted frosting cannons to celebrate. Best New Artist My Take: On the surface, this is Justin Bieber and four acts who aren't Justin Bieber. In any other year, I'd say Ke$ha or Nicki Minaj could win, but this is 2010, and the World Health Organization is just about to start inoculating people for Bieber Fever. Unrelated: For a second, I thought the group Massive Attack were nominated here, which wouldn't have made any sense, but would've been pretty awesome nonetheless. My Pick: Broken Bells. Just kidding! It'll be Bieber in a landslide. The much-coveted Ludacris endorsement is the difference-maker. Video of the Year My Take: There was, without a doubt, one clip that dominated popular culture in 2010, and it will be rewarded on VMA night. My Pick: Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. "Telephone" is the biggest video in recent memory, and Gaga is the biggest artist. A win here is the much-deserved coronation for both. And, when coupled with B's Video of the Year win for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" last year, this could make two consecutive VMAs where the most deserving actually won the night's biggest honor. A watershed moment, indeed. The Other Video of the Year My Take: A completely fictional category made up by me as a way of honoring the videos that didn't get nominated, these six clips represent the best of the rest. Inventive ("Thinking 'Bout Something," "This Too Shall Pass," "Cousins"), incendiary ("Born Free," "Kids in Love") and instructive ("Miracles"), they're all proof that there's still merit in music videos. My Pick: M.I.A. With its graphic violence and rather blunt message (basically that the guys wearing the U.S. flags can be the brutes too), "Born Free" stirred up more than its fair share of controversy. But that's what great art is supposed to do. And make no mistake about it, this is definitely great art. Not to mention astute, fearless political commentary too. Sadly, as the year pressed on, its message only proved to be eerily prescient. What are your VMA predictions? Share them in the comments! Related Videos Related Photos |
| 'Jersey Shore,' 'Glee' Casts To Present At 2010 VMAs Posted: 07 Sep 2010 12:00 AM PDT Mary J. Blige, Swizz Beatz to perform with Drake, while Bruno Mars also hits Video Music Awards stage on Sunday.
The 2010 VMAs may be going live in Los Angeles this year, but MTV viewers will get a glimpse of Seaside Heights when the cast of "Jersey Shore" appears to present on Sunday. But it's not all "GTL" at the MTV Video Music Awards: The show just got a bit more "Glee"-ful, as castmembers of the hit Fox show, including Jane Lynch, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer and Amber Riley will also be on hand to present on Sunday. And those aren't the only big names just added to the presenters list. TV talk-show maven and former "American Idol" host Ellen DeGeneres (who will tape an episode of her show at the VMAs), "Burlesque" star Cher, VMA-nominated Katy Perry, "Star Trek" star Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson, the cast of "Jackass" including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O are all presenting, along with reality-show starlet Kim Kardashian and Romeo of the Latin music sensation Aventura. Before the VMAs kick off at 9 p.m. ET, "Hills" star and newly named "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Audrina Patridge will be the official MTV International red-carpet guest correspondent. Nicki Minaj will take the stage during the pre-show portion of the ceremony, while model Coco Rocha will host MTV.com's "Red Carpet Report." As if all of that wasn't news enough, an already star-studded performance lineup has just gotten more so: Bruno Mars will perform, while Mary J Blige and Swizz Beatz will hit the stage with Drake. This latest round of celebrities joins previously announced performers including Eminem, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Drake, Linkin Park and Usher. Those VMA acts should more than meet the show's musical expectations, especially since host Chelsea Handler has said she won't be doing any singing or dancing on the Nokia Theatre stage. "I'm not a dancer and I'm not a singer, and I don't have the kind of ass that should be mooned. I mean it's sweet, it's a sweet ass, but it's little and it's white," she joked. "I'm there to be funny, kind of, so hopefully I'll just kind of be doing that." The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday. Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |
| Katy Perry To Perform On 'SNL' Season Premiere Posted: 07 Sep 2010 05:28 AM PDT 'California Gurls' singer tweets about performing on September 25 episode.
She had two singles battling it out for the summer jam of 2010, tackled hosting duties for the Teen Choice Awards, is vying for two VMAs (her "California Gurls" is up for Best Female Video and Best Pop Video) and now America's current pop sweetheart Katy Perry can add "Saturday Night Live" performer to her ever-expanding résumé. Perry's more astute fans might have been able to guess the news before the singer made it official, given Perry's somewhat-cryptic tweet directed at "SNL" alum and the 36th season premiere host, Amy Poehler: "Dear Amy Poehler can I please be your braced faced neighbor friend that hangs out with you & RICKKKKK!" We assume that comment is referring to Poehler's "Kaitlin" character — the precocious, excitable and extremely loud 10-year-old who appeared in a series of sketches alongside "Rick!" (played by Horatio Sanz). Shortly thereafter, Perry followed her Poehler-themed tweet with the official announcement: "OKAY! My BIG surprise is I'm opening the season of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE on Sept 25 W/SNL Alum Amy Poehler!!!" she wrote, followed by a link to her official website with the announcement. MTV News tracked down a representative from "SNL" to confirm Perry's appearance, though whether the pop star will be included in any of the cast's sketches remains to be seen. Given Perry's plucky performance at the Teen Choice Awards — during which she impersonated a series of stereotypical high school characters with her co-hosts (the guys from "Glee") — she seems a shoo-in for inclusion in at least one of the show's many vignettes. What do you think of Katy Perry performing on "SNL"? Should Poehler and the rest of the cast involve her in some improv? Related Photos Related Artists |
| VMA Host Chelsea Handler Calls Lady Gaga's Fashion 'A Jackpot' Posted: 07 Sep 2010 02:46 AM PDT She also said she plans to hook up with Eminem after Sunday's show.
Chelsea Handler often complains that the big stars avoid her E! talk show, "Chelsea Lately," leaving her with a string of Kardashians and the occasional rapper to fawn over. But on Sunday night, when she steps up as host of the MTV Video Music Awards, Handler will have more bold names than she could ever dream of skewering at once under one roof, and you can tell she's excited to be in the presence of such mega-wattage.
"She's pretty successful right about now. She's got some good music," Handler said of leading nominee Lady Gaga, who has a record 13 VMA nods. "She's got a lot going on." Asked if she was surprised by the baker's dozen Gaga racked up this year, Handler said she was not shocked that the dance diva could corral such a mass of nominations, given the sweat she puts into her music and concerts. "I'm not really surprised by anything," Handler laughed before diving into one of her favorite topics, the absurd Internet meme questioning Gaga's gender. "If you work really hard, I guess you can accomplish anything. Even if that accomplishment is people being confused as to whether you are a male or a female." The reason stand-up comedians have always done so well at the VMAs is because they're great on their feet, and given the rapid-fire nature of the roundtable celeb-kebabing that goes on during Handler's E! show every night, she's likely to have plenty of quips to drop during Sunday's broadcast. Some of them will undoubtedly be aimed at Gaga's notoriously elaborate outfits. "It's always a jackpot, isn't it?" she said about Gaga's outré fashion choices. "Whatever she wears is amazing. You could watch her for hours just eat cereal. You don't even need the cereal." She clearly has a thing for Gaga, but Handler's heart belongs to Eminem, who is close on Mother Monster's heels with eight nominations. "I love his album," she enthused of the rapper's smash Recovery. "I'll probably have sex with him after the show is over. Probably. I don't see why I wouldn't." But, after finding out that the Detroit MC is now sober, she seemed to have a change of heart. "I like guys who drink," she said. The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday. Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |
| Lady Gaga Book Shows Monster Ball Behind The Scenes Posted: 07 Sep 2010 06:20 AM PDT Photographer Terry Richardson follows singer everywhere, Gaga tells Vogue Hommes Japan.
Dressing up as her male alter-ego, Jo Calderone, isn't the only surprise Lady Gaga has in store for fans in the upcoming issue of Vogue Hommes Japan. The singer, who is decked out in a string of raw meat with an open mouth on an alternate cover of the mag, dished about an upcoming Monster Ball book with photographer Terry Richardson and incorporating her artistic vision with another photographer, Steven Klein, on her "Alejandro" clip. "He wanted to do a book about the Monster Ball," she says in the magazine, which hit stands Sunday. "He wanted to shoot me backstage, not onstage, and look at who I am offstage. He's on the bus with me. He just follows me everywhere. He'll photograph me when I'm changing — those quick changes during the show. And sometimes I'll have to pee during the show, and I'm always screaming, 'Terry, get out!' " But Gaga believes that Richardson remains keen on keeping the project full of candid moments, saying, "And he'll be saying, 'It's so beautiful. You're so punk!' If only my fans knew I was peeing in a beer cup backstage." Whether it's her red-carpet fashion or the outfits donned during her everlasting Monster Ball Tour, the singer has always had an eye for pushing the fashion envelope. Things were no different when she had the opportunity to work on her "Alejandro" video with another critically acclaimed photographer: Steven Klein. "We are both very strong-willed, and we both have very specific visions," she said. "And I knew his specific vision and he knew mine so that it was like tugging at a rope together." But Mother Monster has ended up tying what she calls "a beautiful knot" with Klein despite their creative differences. "I wanted to bring him out of his comfort zone, and he wanted to bring me out of mine," she explained. "I think what made the 'Alejandro' video so successful was getting Steven to look at pop choreography and my aesthetic in putting things that are really interesting of how to sell messages and metaphors into a pop landscape, so it suddenly becomes universal and means something completely different. And him stripping me down, taking off all my makeup, no eyelashes, no liner, saying 'I'm cutting all of your hair off' and not tanned. ... For me, I was hyperventilating, but it did force me to be myself." Being a pop star who takes her image by the reins only makes Gaga comparable to her idols of earlier decades, she says. "Everybody knew about it. It wasn't like you had to do the research or pull the references back then. It seemed innately part of who everybody was," she said, comparing herself to pop stars from the '70s. "The art and the fashion and the music world were all intertwined, and I guess that is the world that I live in today just through who I truly am."

| Eminem's Road To <I>Recovery</I> And Beyond: A VMA Cheat Sheet Posted: 07 Sep 2010 01:03 AM PDT Take a look back at Marshall Mathers' journey to the 2010 VMAs, airing Sunday.
Eminem has been to this party before. With nine wins, he's one of the most rewarded artists ever at MTV's Video Music Awards (ahead of Michael Jackson, in fact.) So it kind of makes sense that after almost five years spent out of the spotlight dealing with a nearly fatal addiction to prescription medication and a year after an attempted relaunch of his career with the Relapse album, Em is headed into Sunday night's show with the second-most nominations, the promise of yet another sure-to-thrill performance and a chance to reclaim his VMA throne. He may even slip into third or fourth place on the all-time list. Behind only Lady Gaga's record 13 nods, Eminem banked eight bids, including Best Male Video and Video of the Year for the emotional "Not Afraid." It's fitting that Shady gets resurrected after a nearly fatal car crash in his VMA promo, since just a year ago, some of his fans were wondering if Eminem had lost the golden touch that has earned the Detroit MC more than 80 million in global sales and made him one of the biggest breakout music stars of his generation. Though Relapse notched the biggest Billboard debut at one point in 2009 with 608,000, some critics noted that it lacked some of the lyrical crispness of Em's past work. Though he's since said Relapse was recorded while he was still struggling to emerge from the fog of his addictions, Eminem showed he still had a sense of humor, taking it in stride at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards when gay Austrian fashion reporter Brüno landed in his lap backside up. It would prove to be one of the rare public appearances by the rapper in 2009, as a hoped-for joint tour and album with pal 50 Cent never materialized. In a sign of his hard-won maturity, he uncharacteristically stepped aside from a continued battle with alleged ex Mariah Carey, even after she appeared to dress up as the rapper for her "Obsessed" video. OK, he did release the harsh comeback "The Warning," but otherwise Shady tried to downplay the ongoing beef, preferring instead to focus on delivering the breakout verse alongside Lil Wayne, Drake and Kanye West on Drizzy's "Forever." He did some method acting with Tracy Morgan at the 2009 VMAs, where he also won for Best Hip-Hop Video for "We Made You" and presented the Best New Artist Moonman to Gaga. With Relapse easily crossing into platinum territory, Em had another hit on his hands, but the disc failed to create the groundswell of support his past efforts had, so by September, there was already rumbling about a more "emotionally driven" and "maniacal" sequel due by year's end. While he was in the lab, the rapper performed his only full live gig of the year at November's Voodoo Fest in New Orleans, even as news emerged that Relapse 2 would drop in December. And then ... nothing. Amid a flurry of leaked songs like "Taking My Ball," "Elevator" and "Buffalo Bill," and "Hell Breaks Loose" and "Drop the Bomb on 'Em," no official word on the new album was forthcoming and prospects seemed grim. December came and went, Shady shared the stage with Drake and Lil Wayne at February's Grammys for a run through Drizzy's "Forever" and teamed with Weezy for the "Drop the World" video, but no Relapse 2. Then, without warning, on April 14, he said the album sequel was killed and he announced a few hours later that a brand-new effort, Recovery, would be released in its place. Em took credit for the "ehh" sound of Relapse on the first single from Recovery, "Not Afraid," which marked one of the first times the MC had led with an initial single that didn't have a jokey, dis-heavy vibe. "Not Afraid" smashed the charts, debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 at an amazing #1 and Em followed that with the announcement of a series of hometown shows in Detroit and New York with Jay-Z. Anticipation for Recovery continued to build as news emerged that it would feature tracks with Rihanna, Lil Wayne and Pink, and even when it leaked two weeks early, Eminem held firm on the release date and was rewarded with yet another highest-debut-of-the-year honor when Recovery smashed onto the Billboard album charts at #1 with sales of 741,000. That debut week run would turn into a rout, as Shady would hold onto the pole position for seven non-consecutive weeks during the summer as Recovery steamed past the 2 million mark and stayed in the top three 10 weeks into its run. With the emotionally ripe "Afraid" already winning praise for its depiction of Em's struggles to come back from the ledge of self-destruction, fans were primed for an even more raw take in the video for his "Love the Way You Lie" collabo with Rihanna. The hard-hitting clip, starring "Lost" alum Dominic Monaghan and former "Transformers" hottie Megan Fox, struck a number of nerves with its depiction of a battling love affair that has clearly resonated with both artists' fans, as the single racked up #1 status on the Billboard 100 and iTunes singles' charts for several weeks. After surprise live jump-ups at shows by Rihanna and Drake, Marshall rounded out his year of sporadic live appearances with a coronation of sorts. The kickoff of his four-show hometown tour with Jay-Z last weekend cemented his status as one of the biggest and most admired MCs of the modern era, as fans traveled from all over the country to catch a rare glimpse of him in concert and legends like mentor Dr. Dre came out to show their support. It was a long struggle, but Em is back where we like him: on fire, making killer videos and ready to take on the world, with a gang of VMA nominations at his back. The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through Sunday. Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |

| 'True Blood' Finale Will Have 'Blood And Bite,' Stars Say Posted: 07 Sep 2010 03:42 AM PDT 'I'd say it's crazier than last year's finale,' one castmember teases.
There are approximately five days and counting until the third season of HBO's bloody vamp soap "True Blood" comes to a close. And if the last two season finales are any indication, regardless of any spoilers or speculation that pre-empt Sunday's episode, we expect that creator Alan Ball will provide us with enough titillating twists and turns to keep us champing at the bit for season four.
So until this week's inevitable cliffhanger and finale overanalyzing, we bring you a few juicy teaser tidbits straight from the stars themselves. "I can tell you that there's going to be a lot of blood, a lot of sex, and a lot of people are going to die," Joe Manganiello told MTV News at HBO's Emmy bash last week. "Blah, blah, blah, vampire stuff." Will his crazy ex-girlfriend, Debbi Pelt, survive the episode? "That would be a good question for Alan [Ball]," Manganiello said. Deftly deflected, Joe. Fan favorite Nelsan Ellis (a.k.a. Lafayette) agreed about the blood factor. "There's going to be a lot of blood and bite," Ellis said. "I'd say it's crazier than last year's finale," Jim Parrack (sweet-as-pie Hoyt Fortenberry) added. "Wilder than last year's." Todd Lowe, who plays PTSD-suffering war vet Terry, shared some insight into what his character will be up to. "You'll probably see some more tears," Lowe revealed. "And we'll see where they're coming from." Arlene? A possible war flashback? As for Pam, the saucy queen of killer one-liners, actress Kristin Bauer shared that her character will be in the midst of a fight — both physical and emotional. "For Pam, the next two episodes, she's trying — she's in an emotional battle and a physical battle trying to save Eric. It's quite something," she said. "There are some twists and turns that happen. It's really clever." Marshall Alman's summary wins the award for most succinct tease: "I can tell you that Tommy definitely gives Sam a run for his money." Meanwhile, Kevin Alejandro wins the award for juiciest tidbit. "You actually find out what kind of person I am," he said of his character, Jesus. "It's good stuff." Regarding his reaction to finding out his character's new "arc," Alejandro said it was cool. "I've never done anything like it. I kinda knew a little bit about it beforehand, so it's fun," he explained. "[I did] a lot of research to figure out how to go this route, but it's good stuff. I think you'll be really impressed and surprised." Finally, the award for most vague tease goes to series stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. "Lots of stuff [happens]!" Paquin exclaimed. "Some great Eric and Bill moments," Moyer added. "We're not supposed to tell you." Paquin echoed Moyer's statement, adding that they'd prefer to keep their jobs rather than spoil or reveal any secrets. Good for them; too bad for us.

| Sofia Coppola Calls 'Breaking Dawn' Love Story 'So Romantic' Posted: 07 Sep 2010 03:42 AM PDT 'I'm impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison pulling it off,' director says, confirming she was in talks to helm the 'Twilight' finale.
While the "Breaking Dawn" director's chair for both parts 1 and 2 is officially occupied by Bill Condon, "Twilight" fans know that there were several other high-profile names attached to the project before Condon signed on. Among them was "Lost in Translation" and "Marie Antoinette" director Sofia Coppola. When we caught up with the writer/director to discuss her upcoming Chateau Marmont-set film, "Somewhere," we asked her if there was any truth to the "Dawn" director rumors. "Yeah, yeah, I talked to them about that," Coppola revealed to MTV News. "I was interested in doing something but I didn't end up doing it. But I love, I'm impressed by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison pulling it off in that whole story," she said. "And my friend's kids love the story so much that I thought it would be fun to make something that they love so much." Asked what she liked best about the blockbuster vampire franchise, Coppola admitted she goes weak in the knees for romance. "I just love that it's so romantic," she told us. "I'm always a sucker for a love story and also to do something for teenagers, because I feel like, why not have beautiful cinematography and all these things in a kid movie? Usually it looks like it's not crafted very sophisticated, and I feel like it'd be nice to bring that kind of style into a younger film." Perhaps the studio heads can line up Coppola for the talked-about film version of the "Eclipse" novella, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner"?

| Ice Cube Insists Rhymes Are Shout-Outs, Not Disses Posted: 07 Sep 2010 04:45 AM PDT Forthcoming album I Am the West references Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, DJ Yella
Shots fired? Well, not quite. Ice Cube toys with some pretty popular names on his forthcoming album, I Am the West, spitting rhymes that leave Jay-Z, Dr. Dre and DJ Yella's monikers in murky waters.
But the veteran MC says that, upon closer listen, his lyrics are just referencing others for context — they aren't personal attacks. "To me, it's styling and finesse, that's where I come from," Cube told MTV News after previewing the album. "It's a lot of MCs out there, it's not dissing [them]. I guess when you mention these MCs that's at the top of the game and you mention yourself in there, you letting [people] know you on top of your game too. It's on that tip. It's just fresh, fly-ass lines. I couldn't let them go once I thought of them; I had to write them down. But it's not dissing." Earlier this year, Cube released "Drink the Kool-Aid," which featured the lines: "I ain't the doctor/ This ain't the patient/ This ain't that n---a always on vacation/ This ain't no white boy's rehabilitation/ This is crazier then a boatful of Haitians." The blogosphere jumped to a quick conclusion that the Los Angeles rapper was taking aim at his former N.W.A groupmate Dr. Dre. Cube, however, took to his website and posted a blog denying the claims. "I met Dr. Dre in the studio last night," Cube wrote. "When I got there, Snoop was in the booth laying the finishing touches on another classic from the dynamic duo. He played me some tracks set for the up-and-coming Detox record and we talked about me jumping on board the project. Of course I talked about him doing sh-- on my record, and he said he'd bless the album." Last month, though, Cube told MTV News he and Dre weren't able to connect for I Am the West. "He's been M.I.A. for two to three months now," Cube said, laughing. "But I don't feel bad, because Snoop can't find him either." Related Artists |
| Chris Brown 'Jumped' On 'Make A Movie,' Twista Says Posted: 07 Sep 2010 04:31 AM PDT 'It's sexy to the people,' Twista tells MTV News of Perfect Storm single.
Twista might be known more for his tongue-twisting rhymes than his sexier fare, but the veteran MC has scored big hits in the past with crooners like Trey Songz and Jamie Foxx.
Now, the Chicago star has recruited Chris Brown for his latest, "Make a Movie," the lead single from his forthcoming effort, The Perfect Storm. He said landing Brown was a matter of mutual respect. "It was just a groove that I really felt, the whole vibe of the song," Twista told MTV News. "It was something that fit the criteria of what I wanted to come with as far as my next single, as far as me making the sexy jams and being able to come like that. So when I heard the song, I knew it was a jam we could really work with. By the time it came around to get Chris Brown on it, I was like, 'Man, we got to put the homie Chris on it.' " According to Twista, he and his camp made a few calls to Brown and his representatives to gauge their interest. It didn't take long for Team Breezy to get back to the rapper. And to hear Twista explain it, both sides knew they had something on their hands with "Make a Movie." "When he heard the song, he immediately jumped on it, as far as the mutual respect he had for me," Twista said. "When I got it back, I listened to it one time, and we knew it was a wrap. We knew we had to roll with it, because it was a jam. It's sexy to the people. Whenever we play it for different people we try to catch a vibe from, they always like it, so I knew it was the one for me." What do you think of Twista teaming up with Chris Brown? Let us know in the comments. Related Artists |
| 50 Cent Says He Uses Twitter To 'Entertain' Posted: 07 Sep 2010 01:59 AM PDT 'When other people used it, it was boring because they were trying to be safe,' he tells MTV News.
Celebrity Favorites: 50 Cent Ah. It was but just three years ago around this time, VMA time, when the nation was divided: Kanye West or 50 Cent. Both were dropping albums on September 11. Fast-forward to 2010 — the hip-hop nation is once again forced to decide. This time, though, it's not about music; it's about who sends the most interesting tweets. Both 'Ye and 50 caught on to Twitter later than most people, but they have made up for it in impact. Kanye usually tweets about what's going on in his life, while 50 is unpredictable, taking a comedic stance in many instances.
Monday, the G-Unit general went on Twitter overload, writing about everything from squashing his quarrels with Diddy and Jay-Z to playing new music for Eminem and having sex with a woman he says also slept with Shaquille O'Neal. "So I saw jayZ backstage at the show," he wrote, "so I say What's up n---a we gone kill each other or what he like And fuck up the money I aint witIt lol." Regarding Chairman Combs, he wrote, "I talk to puffy he said n---a da sh-- you be doing is bad for business we can make a lot of money together. so that's the last puffy hit lol." Last week in Detroit, before getting onstage with Eminem at the second of the Motor City shows in Comerica Park, Fif explained his tweet tirades. "You know what's interesting? I look at that platform as another place to express yourself in a different way, to entertain," he said. "Not necessarily to create a perception of your actual character, but to be entertaining. When other people used it, it was boring because they were trying to be safe, be politically correct. They gave you the presentation they were taught to give you after they were prepped for publicity. What I gave you was some of the things I've seen that were entertaining topic-wise — things that made me laugh. I think it's healthy to smile. Even though I may have the persona as one of the darkest people in hip-hop culture, you seen me smile as often as — probably more often as — somebody you seen placed in that category." Fif also cited Ice Cube as an influence — not necessarily as a muse for Twitter, but for expressing himself differently in a multiple of mediums. "Ice Cube is one of my favorites," he said. "I admire what he's done with his life and career. But when you look at every Ice Cube CD, it's the same photo [a scowl]. He's fixin' to kill you." "I understand, because the tone of the music matches that expression," he continued. "But, that's entertainment versus what you see him doing in 'Lottery Ticket,' doing other things to express himself in a different platform. That allows him to be successful in a different way."

| Miley Cyrus And Ashley Greene Shoot 'LOL' In Paris Posted: 06 Sep 2010 11:58 PM PDT Teen-movie queens spotted filming with Douglas Booth, Ashley Hinshaw and Lina Esco.
Miley Cyrus and Ashley Greene have taken the shoot for their upcoming flick "LOL: Laughing Out Loud" internationally. The ladies were photographed filming in Paris, after being spotted in Detroit earlier this summer. In stills taken on the set, Greene and Cyrus are pictured with various castmates filming "LOL," which is due in 2011. In one photo, taken Monday (September 6), a smiling Cyrus, embraced at the waist by costar Douglas Booth, is standing alongside a pensive-looking Greene and other castmembers Ashley Hinshaw and Lina Esco. In other shots, Booth and Cyrus are snuggling on a double-decker bus, while Greene is on another bus. Booth and Cyrus also were filmed standing on a bridge chatting. Later, Cyrus, wearing a leather jacket, goes shopping with Hinshaw and Esco, and in another shot, she is alone and soaking wet, running through a puddle. Cyrus and Greene also were filmed walking arm in arm through Paris. Cyrus has said that in her post-"Hannah Montana" career, she's looking to film more serious, mature movies, and that she intends to take a break from music to pursue her film career. "I'm working on lots of different films: drama, action, comedy," she explained. "I like challenges, so I'm doing a little bit of everything." "The more I make music that doesn't truly inspire me, the more I feel like I'm blending in with everyone else," she added. "I'm taking some time off [from music]." Given those plans, "LOL" seems like a step in the right direction. The film is about a group of young people, led by Cyrus (whose character is named Lola), who try to navigate high school peer pressures and romance in a tech-savvy world. It also stars Demi Moore as Cyrus's mom. "She's great," Moore said of her co-star, "and I think that she is incredibly grounded. ... [Miley] is a true professional, and she truly has a wonderful family. It really shows." For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com.

| Chris Brown, Michael Ealy Interpret Final 'Takers' Scene Posted: 07 Sep 2010 03:00 AM PDT Stars of hit film explain why their characters make critical decision
Chris Brown and T.I.'s new film "Takers" had another hefty haul this past weekend, bringing in close to $12 million after last week's $20 million-plus #1 finish. We've given you ample time to see it, so now we can reveal a spoiler. Warning: Stop reading now if you haven't seen the flick. We'll catch you on the rebound. One of the climactic scenes in the film features brother bank robbers Chris Brown and Michael Ealy having a showdown with the police. The Takers' identities have been discovered, and police officers are dispatched to take them out. At the heist-master's hangout, a jazz club, Ealy arrives and learns that his girlfriend has been murdered by T.I.'s character, Ghost. Minutes later, the police amass in front of the venue. Ealy asks his brother, Brown, whether he wants to leave through the back door or through the front, where a SWAT team is waiting. The duo choose the front, and are subsequently gunned down. You don't actually see them die, but it is highly implied. So, why not slip out through the back?
"I think it was that inevitable circumstance. We had to be like, 'You know what? We're gonna get caught, and we don't wanna do life in prison,' " Brown explained about the last scene. "We knew the risk we were taking when we did it. 'Let's go out in a blaze of glory.' " "I had nothing else to live for," Ealy said about his character. "Yeah. His girl was all dead," Brown added. "That's bad. He didn't wanna see me get locked up." Ealy jokingly said his character really wanted to take an alternate escape route, but Brown's character wouldn't listen. "I tried to tell him to go through the back door," Ealy said with a laugh. "But, even the back door, they had us surrounded. There was no getting around it."

| Will B.o.B's 'Airplanes' Soar Past Rival Video Of The Year Nominees? Posted: 07 Sep 2010 03:50 AM PDT ATL MC and Hayley Williams, who shot brooding clip without ever meeting, will perform the smash at VMAs on September 12.
B.o.B has racked up a bevy of hits from his freshman effort, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, but so far the Atlanta upstart's awards haul doesn't match his Billboard tally. Maybe his luck will change at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards?
Among his five chances to score a Moonman on September 12, the melodic MC will vie for the night's biggest prize, the coveted Video of the Year award for his Hiro Murai-directed "Airplanes." If the clip wins, it certainly would have one of the more unique backstories of late. B.o.B and the song's guest, Paramore's Hayley Williams, actually shot their parts separately at two different times (scheduling conflicts caused them to spread the production over three months); the pair also recorded the song at different times as well. In fact, the two artists — labelmates at Atlantic Records — will meet for the first time during the VMAs when they perform "Airplanes" together for the first time. Despite the fact that B.o.B and Williams don't appear in any scenes together, visually they deliver just as well as they do vocally on the smash single. The dark tone of the record is represented in the clip. Light is used sparingly throughout the video, as B.o.B's punching lyrics about fortitude cut deep. Production for the video was done in an abandoned warehouse and a dead-open space, which underscore elements of the song's lyrics, particularly the themes of emptiness. Williams can be seen in CGI-like Polaroid photos, generated from a rave of lurking party-goers; the singer's image flashes across the pictures. B.o.B's defiant lyrics are in contrast to the subtle cues in the clip, creating a visual marriage that's as powerful as any of the other nominated candidates. And he certainly seemed to think so. The rapper was excited about his nominations when he spoke to MTV News. In particular, B.o.B was ecstatic about being recognized for accomplishments that reach beyond his chart-topping hits. "It's very special to me. I think it's a lot more special than the success of the singles, because this reflects the work I've put in over the years and the word of mouth I've helped create," he said. "It's definitely amazing. I'm trying to find the words to explain it, but I can't. It's inexplicable. I'm a real simple man, so, you know, I accept every gift with generosity and gratitude." What's your favorite B.o.B video? Tell us your pick — and why — in the comments! The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through September 12. Related Videos Related Artists |
| Justin Long Shares His 'Die Hard 5' Ideas Posted: 07 Sep 2010 02:18 AM PDT 'It's going to be Gabourey Sidibe and Bruce teaming up, finally,' he jokes.
The last time we heard any news on "Die Hard 5," Bruce Willis assured us that an official green-light for the film was "imminent." Given that small but hopeful tidbit, when we caught up with Willis' "Live Free or Die Hard" co-star Justin Long recently, we had to ask whether the "Going the Distance" star had yet been approached to reprise his role in the fifth film.
"I had a meeting recently at Fox about doing a romantic [comedy]," Long recalled. "And the guy in the office next door, he was in charge of the new 'Die Hard,' [so] I said, 'Do you mind if I pop my head in?' So I met him and I was like, 'Ummm?' " the actor explained, gesturing with his hands in a motion that suggested "What about me?" "He was equally vague in his gesture back to me," Long said. "So I didn't get a good feeling that I was going to be a part of the imminent 'Die Hard.' I don't know if I'm going to get my hands on it." He added, "I would love to." Whether the film happens with or without Long is still up for debate. Regardless, Long offered up some unique ideas regarding a possible story line for the fifth film. "For a while, there was talk of, they were going to combine 'Die Hard' with '24,' " Long said. "It was going to be Kiefer Sutherland's character in it [to which we responded with a very suspicious, raised brow]. I'm not kidding!" Long insisted. "I think there was a script that had been imminent," he said seriously — and then veered off course completely. "Now it's going to be 'Die Preciously Hard,' so it's going to be Gabourey Sidibe and Bruce teaming up, finally," Long joked. Perfect. Bruce Willis and Gabourey Sidibe in a "Die Hard" movie ... it's about time! "That's what the fans are saying, it's about time! It's 'Die Hard Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire.'

| Snoop Dogg Talks Being First 'Rock Band' Rapper Posted: 07 Sep 2010 12:48 AM PDT 'I'm the first hip-hop rock star,' he tells MTV News of his eight-song pack for the video game.
Even though he has been in the hip-hop game for nearly 20 years, Snoop Dogg still manages to tear down barriers and break records years-deep into his career. Now, he has set yet another precedent in hip-hop history, becoming the first rapper to provide downloadable content for "Rock Band," the video game that allows you to jump onstage with your favorite performer. "I do it all, man," Snoop told MTV News' Sway at last month's Rock the Bells Tour kickoff. "I got some downloadable content with classic songs from Doggystyle, songs like 'Drop It Like It's Hot.' You'll be able to play along to the Snoop Dogg groove in a dramatic fashion, so you can feel like you're a member of the Snoopadelics."
In addition to "Drop It Like It's Hot," the eight-song pack contains the smash singles "Beautiful," "Sensual Seduction" and "Who Am I (What's My Name)?," as well as deeper cuts like "Ridin' in My Chevy," "Snoop's Upside Ya Head," "Tha Shiznit" and "That's Tha Homie." The package will be available for $13.49 (or 1,080 Microsoft Points, if that's your game) and will also be available for individual purchase. Snoop, who describes himself as "an OG gamer," is a big fan of the "Rock Band" approach and is happy to be part of a new tradition. "It brings it back to life again for those who may not have heard it, or those who may not even have been around when it was out," Snoop said of the classic tunes getting new life via "Rock Band." "It keeps that classic material rolling. I like when they do it with Metallica and Guns N' Roses and the Beatles, when they bring [those songs] back to life. They're educating the youth on that great music that was here years ago." As for being the first rapper to penetrate the "Rock Band" market, it's old hat for a living legend like Snoop. "I'm the first hip-hop rock star," he declared. "The others, they do what they do, but they don't do what I do." For more on "Rock Band," check out the Multiplayer blog, updated daily.

| 'Zombieland 2' Director Giddy About 3-D Zombie Splatter Posted: 07 Sep 2010 01:50 AM PDT "I think it's cool to see stuff fly at your face. The idea of zombies splattering into the lens is exciting for me," Reuben Fleischer tells MTV News.
When MTV News caught up with Reuben Fleischer last week, he was hanging out in a dusty junkyard outside downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was hardly a glamorous day on the set of a studio picture, but that was where Fleischer had chosen to make "30 Minutes or Less," his follow-up to the $75.6 million-grossing "Zombieland." But, as he oversaw some wacky pyrotechnic displays at the junkyard, he was thinking about the direction for "Zombieland 2" and shared some of his thoughts with us.
First off, Fleischer confirmed he'll shoot the sequel with 3-D cameras, rather than use a controversial post-production process. "When it comes to 3-D, I feel pretty strongly that you should shoot it in camera," he said. "I feel like it just looks so much better. If you're going to make a 3-D movie, go ahead and make a 3-D movie. I would definitely, if we do 'Zombieland 2,' make it in 3-D and want to shoot it in 3-D." While no stars yet have deals in place, Fleischer said "all the cast is excited to return," including Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin and Jesse Eisenberg, who also stars in "30 Minutes." Writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are currently at work on the script, and Fleischer said they're exploring multiple scenarios, from a plot that picks up shortly after the conclusion of the first film to one that begins further into the future. Regardless, though, "Zombieland 2" will likely explore pre-zombie days as well. "One of the fun things about 'Zombieland' is it jumps all over the place in terms of the storyline," Fleischer said. "It'll go to before zombies to after zombies and all around those worlds. What's fun about the sequel is we have freedom and flexibility to show different periods. We might have scenes before the zombies, or we might have some months after, or potentially stuff further down the road. Through the voice-over and the way the movie is structured, we can really explore all different sides of it." "Zombieland 2" was announced as a 3-D film back in December, when the heady glow of "Avatar" began to consume all of Hollywood. In the months since, many 3-D films have failed to connect with audiences and a sort of 3-D fatigue has set in among many moviegoers. Yet, Fleischer is not worried about backlash, nor does he agree with what James Cameron said recently about how "Piranha 3-D," a new horror movie, "cheapen[s] the medium." "I love 3-D" Fleischer said. "I have a hard time saying when it's not done well, because I have almost a childlike experience watching 3-D. It's just so cool to me when stuff comes out of the screen. That may sound naïve, but I really do like the way it looks." "Obviously, animation works terrific in 3-D," he continued. "I thought 'Avatar' was a complete revolution. But I even love 'My Bloody Valentine 3-D' — the schlockier movies that are in 3-D. I think it's cool to see stuff fly at your face. The idea of zombies splattering into the lens is exciting for me. I understand Mr. Cameron's point as far as not overdoing it and not making it gimmicky. I still go for that stuff. That's the part I'm excited about."
