| Taylor Lautner Talks 'Twilight' Tattoos In His #3 MTV Moment Posted: 11 Apr 2011 04:03 AM PDT Lautner will debut the 'Abduction' trailer and chat with MTV News on Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET.
With so much talk about his abs at the VMAs and that one special moment he shared with Tom Cruise at the MTV Movie Awards, who could forget the time Taylor Lautner waxed poetic about "Twilight" tattoos? With just a few days until "MTV First: Taylor Lautner," which premieres Wednesday on air and online at 7:56 p.m. ET, we're counting down Lautner's finest MTV moments — and at #3, the action stud recounted one particularly jarring fan encounter.
"Usually, they don't have something for you to sign, so they stick out their hand or their arm for you to sign, so I'm going down the line signing arms," he said of an autograph session last summer. One of the arms came with a big surprise: "Then I get to an arm that has a gigantic wolf pack tattoo!" After feeling the tattoo to make sure it was real, he signed the fan's arm, hoping that his signature wouldn't also make the final cut as a permanent tat. "Sure enough, the very next day I get a call from a buddy saying, 'Did you sign somebody's arm? Because it's tattooed to her now,' " he recalled. "I didn't know whether to feel bad or whether it's cool. It's so different." Don't miss "MTV First: Taylor Lautner" this Wednesday at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com. Tune in to see Lautner debut the trailer for "Abduction," followed by a live 30-minute interview on MTV.com. Tweet questions using the hashtag #asktaylor to get in the conversation!

| Waka Flocka Flame Visits 'RapFix Live' Wednesday! Posted: 11 Apr 2011 04:03 AM PDT 'No Hands' MC will answer fans' questions during our live stream at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com.
Waka Flocka Flame will be the special guest on this Wednesday's edition of MTV "RapFix Live," and the Atlanta-by-way-of-Queens rapper will have plenty to talk about with host Sway, but he'll also be taking your questions! Waka has been gearing up for some joint projects with his Brick Squad ally Gucci Mane. The two rappers are at work on a reality show and a collaborative album titled The Ferrari Boys. Flocka also recently started his own label, Brick Squad Monopoly, and is prepping his new album, Triple F Life, for a late-2011 release with at least a couple of official mixtapes sure to hit the streets in the interim.
Our 2010 #8 Hottest MC in the Game hasn't slowed down this year. His debut album, Flockaveli, has spawned hits like "Hard In Da Paint" and the Drumma Boy-produced "No Hands," and the video for his latest single, "Grove St. Party" (featuring Kebo Gotty), was named MTV Jams' "Jam of the Week." But Waka's also had his share of legal woes, including an arrest on weapons and drug charges in January. He'll address that and much more on "RapFix Live." Do you want to ask Waka about posing nude for PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" campaign? Wondering how he reacted when shots were fired at his tour bus in February? Flocka will be taking questions from the audience via Twitter, @MTVRapFix with the hashtag #rapfixlive. Fans can also upload video questions for the "O Let's Do It" star via Your.MTV.com. Tune in on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com. "RapFix Live" will also premiere a new video from Houston rapper Kirko Bangz. The former Prairie View University student and current Asylum/ Warner Bros. Records artist just dropped a new DJ Drama-hosted Gangsta Grillz mixtape titled Procrastination Kills 3. Don't miss "RapFix Live" this Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com for Sway's interview with Waka Flocka Flame. |
| 'The Dance Scene' Shows 'Music Still Matters,' Laurieann Gibson Says Posted: 11 Apr 2011 04:03 AM PDT Lady Gaga's creative director tells MTV News why she agreed to do her own reality show.
Laurieann Gibson debuted her new E! reality show, "The Dance Scene," on Sunday night, and the premiere was an inside look at what it's like to be one of the most sought-after choreographers in the game. Gibson — who is also Lady Gaga's creative director — is seen working with A-listers Katy Perry and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles as they prepare for VH1's "Divas Live" in the first episode.
Before her E! show, Gibson had made appearances on reality shows like "So You Think You Can Dance," MTV's "Making the Band" and "Skating With the Stars." When MTV News caught up with her, Gibson said she was drawn to the idea of having her own reality show because she wanted fans to see that there's still real artistry in pop music. "I think it's the only reason why I did the show, was because after being in the music industry for so long and loving music and wanting real artists and real talent to take the forefront as opposed to a premeditated idea of what an artist is based on — a corporate mind-set or a person — that a piece of music or a piece of dance is birthed out of your belly," she explained. "I want the music to get back into the hands of the people. I wanted them to know that if they watch the show and they see me doubt or fear or fight through adversity or some dream-slayer and they can watch and be inspired that they can make it," Gibson added. "The music still matters, that the dance still matters, that the gift still matters." The show goes deep into Gibson's life and follows her crew of dancers and choreographers, all of whom work from her Boom Kack studios. The dance maven is known for her tough approach, and she thinks the show, which is executive-produced by Ryan Seacrest, will show another side of Gaga's trusted right-hand lady. "I think they're gonna be surprised to know the truth to how I've gotten where I've gotten and what I've been through," Gibson told us. "Because I seem so tough and I am so tough [but] they're going to see another side of me. I'm still a little girl." What do you think of Laurieann's new E! show? Tell us in the comments!

| 'Dancing With The Stars' Isn't Easier With Youth, Chelsea Kane Says Posted: 11 Apr 2011 04:03 AM PDT 'So far, some of our oldest contestants have been at the top of the leader board,' the Disney star tells MTV News.
LOS ANGELES — Age ain't nothing but a number for Chelsea Kane. The 22-year-old Disney star and current "Dancing With the Stars" contestant is paired up with 24-year-old Mark Ballas, which makes the pair among the youngest on the show this season. But taking a look at how the scoring has been going so far, Kane points out, that means nothing.
"Sometimes I feel like it's a disadvantage, in the sense where I think people automatically assume because we're younger that we're going to pick up the choreography easier and that we have this upper hand in the competition," Kane told MTV News of her age. "Which I don't think is the case at all. We're three dances in, and so far some of our oldest contestants have been at the top of the leader board. I don't think anything can prepare you for this experience." So that's the downside to being younger. The upside? Kane laughs that she and Ballas can exist off of little sleep. "The nice part is that I feel like we're able to go with less sleep, and we like to go out and still have fun and we don't have families or anything to worry about yet! So that's the advantage. We get to enjoy this," she said, laughing. When MTV News caught up with the pair at their rehearsal for Monday night's (April 11) dance, we asked them to so size up their competition. The front-runner they're most worried about is Ralph Macchio, who is 49. "I feel like Ralph is really going to be a challenge, just because he works so hard," Kane said. "Every time we come to the studio, he's been here all day, takes no breaks, whereas Mark and I are in the kitchen eating Ralph's anniversary cake that he had dropped off. We're so bad!" Do you think being young is an advantage on "Dancing With the Stars"? Let us know in the comments! |
| Jon Stewart Talks 'Death To Smoochy' Sequel At Comedy Awards Posted: 10 Apr 2011 05:02 AM PDT 'I am under the impression that movie sequels are based on the success of the previous movie,' he quips to MTV News.
Sorry, Jon Stewart fans, but you'd better not expect to see the Emmy winner on the big screen again anytime soon. It seems the funnyman's aspirations to return to acting are about the same as his ambitions to get into politics: nonexistent. MTV News caught up with Stewart on the red carpet of the Comedy Awards, which air on Comedy Central, VH1, Spike TV, Logo, CMT, TVLand and online at TheComedyAwards.com at 8 p.m. on Sunday (April 10).
Stewart, who appeared on the silver screen in bit parts for films such as "Big Daddy," "The Faculty" and "Half Baked" hasn't acted in a movie in nearly a decade, when he appeared in the 2002 cult comedy "Death to Smoochy." When asked if he would consider appearing in a follow-up to the dark flick, which was nothing short of a box-office bomb, the cable host quipped, "I am under the impression, and again I could be wrong about this, that movie sequels are based on the success of the previous movie. Now, I may be wrong!" However, Stewart — who cracked, "I think my character may have died at the end [of 'Death to Smoochy']. Or not. I don't know" — did come up with an intriguing premise for a "Smoochy" prequel: "How did Smoochy get to be in the suit?" "I was never a very good actor. I can do myself like 10 percent madder or 10 percent happier," he said of his acting skills. "I give props to the craft of acting, 'cause that's not what I do. Or most comedians. Although there are some that are really good at it." For now, Stewart will stay put doing what he is really good at — hosting "The Daily Show" — which won for Best Late Night Comedy Series at the Comedy Awards (during which Stephen Colbert hilariously ambushed Stewart's acceptance speech). When faced with the prospect of 10 to 15 more years of doing the political satire, Stewart joked while pointing to himself, "Look what's happened to me in the 10 years I've been doing it. ... I'd be the crypt-keeper at a certain point." Don't miss the Comedy Awards at 8 p.m. Sunday night on Comedy Central, VH1, Spike TV, Logo, CMT, TVLand and online at TheComedyAwards.com.
