| 'X-Men: First Class' Star Calls Prequel 'Metaphor' For Real Life Posted: 02 Jun 2011 03:53 AM PDT Lucas Till tells MTV News why the flick stands out in a summer stacked with superheroes.
During our recent sit-downs with the cast of "X-Men: First Class" — a prequel and the fourth film in the "X-Men" franchise — the talk focused not so much on how the latest installment differs from the first three, but rather what separates "First Class" from all the other superhero-style movies opening this summer. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender pointed to the film's universal theme of struggling to fit in, for instance. For their co-star Lucas Till, what makes "First Class" stand out is how fans connect to the unique characters, whereas the competition often relies more on fun to pull in moviegoers.
"I feel like the question I wished you would have asked me is, 'How awesome does this summer look?' Because you've got completely different things," Till said when we asked what separates his flick from the rest of the pack. "With 'Captain America,' you've got a 1940s pulp-movie feel, and I feel like that's going to be its own separate thing; fun and entertaining. And then you've got 'Thor,' which is, like, a cool 'He-Man' episode, which I was thoroughly surprised with. Then you've got 'Green Lantern,' which I thought was going to be stupid, but kind of looks like a cool cartoon. "This one," Till continued, returning to "First Class," "There's so many metaphors to real life and there's actual character development. I feel like you care about the characters, then there's an ensemble cast, which they're trying to do with 'Justice League' and 'Avengers.' Till suddenly spouting so many comic-book films both surprised and impressed his "First Class" co-star Rose Byrne. "You're like a lexicon for superhero movies," she said with awe. "You really are, you have an intelligent perspective and context for them; I don't." At which point their co-star Zoë Kravitz joked that Byrne now had the hots for Till. "What are you doing later?" Byrne joked to Till. Check out everything we've got on "X-Men: First Class." For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com.

| 'Breaking Dawn' Stars To Present Exclusive Clip At MTV Movie Awards! Posted: 01 Jun 2011 02:58 AM PDT Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will present the clip live at Sunday's show.
Since film fans made "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" the most nominated film leading into the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, we had to return the favor with some "Twilight" goodies during the big show.
"Twilight" leading lady Kristen Stewart and her main men, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, will be presenting an exclusive clip from the saga's highly anticipated fourth film, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," during the awards show, airing Sunday live at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV. For the die-hard "Twilight" fans who've been following all the news about "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" — for which we compiled this handy guide — the exclusive clip premiering during the Movie Awards will be the very first video from the film. Up until now, we've had to make do with production photos, teaser art and posters. MTV News recently caught up with Elizabeth Reaser, who plays Cullen matriarch Esme, to get her take on filming the two-part "Twilight" finale. "There was a lot of emotion," she said during an MTV Sneak Peek Week screening of her latest movie, "The Art of Getting By." "I mean, [for] months we had been through so much different weather craziness [in all different locations that] we were in denial of it the whole time." She recalled saying goodbye to the epic five-movie saga while shooting the highly anticipated Edward/Bella wedding scene, even though her work on the film wasn't quite over; she had to stick around a bit longer to finish up some shooting on the film. "Suddenly, we were on the dance floor at the wedding, and it was suddenly over," she said. "It's also 7 in the morning, and we had been shooting all night, so it was this weird, surreal experience. We were all in shock." Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner will be in good company, when they grace the MTV stage. They join previously announced presenters and attendees, including Nicki Minaj, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Selena Gomez, Emma Stone, Cameron Diaz, Leighton Meester, Katie Cassidy, Shia LaBeouf, Ryan Reynolds and Josh Duhamel. "Eclipse" leads the pack of 2011 MTV Movie Awards nominees with eight nods, including Best Movie, Best Fight and Best Kiss. "Inception" snagged the second-most nominations (seven), followed by "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1," which received six nods.

| Death Cab For Cutie's Guide To Seattle: Selling Out Shows, Making Curfew Posted: 02 Jun 2011 03:53 AM PDT In ongoing 'Seattle Sonics' series, DCFC take us to a pair of venues that helped shape the band: Crocodile Cafe and OK Hotel.
All four members of Death Cab For Cutie grew up in and around Seattle, during a time that outsiders have since deemed "The Grunge Explosion." But for those living around the city — particularly those not old enough to get in to most shows (thanks to the city's now-abolished Teen Dance Ordinance) — they didn't know anything about an explosion. They just knew there were a ton of really great bands they were missing out on.
And back then, as is still the case today, most of those bands played Seattle's Crocodile Cafe, with gigs being advertised in the city's late, lamented free paper The Rocket. And for kids on the outside, like DCFC's Ben Gibbard and Nick Harmer, both of those things were the source of never-ending frustration. "We both grew up in the Northwest, and we'd look at the shows at the Crocodile, seeing them in this weekly music magazine The Rocket, and be like, 'Aw, I wish I could go to that show,' " Gibbard told MTV News. "But it was a 21-and-over venue at the time, so we couldn't go, and all our favorite bands were playing [at the Crocodile], and we could never come see shows there." But, as they got older, and formed Death Cab for Cutie in the college town of Bellingham, Washington, things started to change. The band started coming to shows at the Croc (Gibbard remembers seeing Bedhead with DCFC guitarist Chris Walla at the club in 1998) and even managed to score a gig or two there. And finally, at the end of '98, they played a sold-out show at the legendary venue. It was, to say the least, a highlight, and the reason Gibbard and Harmer took MTV News to the Crocodile as part of our "Seattle Sonics" tour: The club played an integral part in their lives, both before and during Death Cab.
"Every once in a while, people will ask, 'Oh, what are the highlights of your band's career?' And without fail, I always reference the first time we ever headlined the Crocodile Cafe. ... It was in, I think, December 1998, and it was on a weekend, a Friday or a Saturday, and we sold the club out," Gibbard said. "There used to be a wall they'd put in that would diminish the capacity down to 300, from 600 or so, so we played a wall-in sold-out show, which still for us was a huge deal. And I remember coming offstage in the little backstage area that used to be here, between our main set and the encore, and becoming flushed with emotion, like, really, it was too much for me to handle, because I couldn't believe we had done it. We had actually sold out and headlined the Crocodile Cafe. "And it was this turning moment, I think, for all of us. ... We had this realization that, 'Wow, we can really do this. We're a real band. We're not just four guys in a college town goofing off on the weekends and practicing after class. If we could get 300 people into this room to see us play, we can do it in Portland, we can do it in San Francisco. It can happen,' " he continued. "So not only was it kind of the fulfillment of a dream I've had since I was a teenager — since we were all teenagers — but it was a powerful moment for me, because I finally felt like we were on to something." And while the band's first-ever headlining gig at the Croc was a milestone (made even more because, as Gibbard beamed, "Afterwards I got to meet Peter Buck from R.E.M. in the bathroom"), there's another venue in town that holds an even dearer place in their hearts: the legendary OK Hotel, one of Seattle's most celebrated all-ages venue, since shuttered and reopened as a gallery space. Located in a decidedly seedy part of town — beneath a viaduct near the piers on Alaska Way — it was one of the few places where kids could actually go to shows and a stop for any band not yet big enough to sell out a 21-plus venue. Not surprisingly, Gibbard and Harmer spent plenty of time there, and they made sure to take us to the spot on their tour. "I saw Superchunk and Sunny Day Real Estate here, Low, bands I loved. This was a really important place for me, because as a kid, it made a real impression on me, seeing bands loading their own equipment and setting up their own stuff, because before coming to places like this, the only places you saw rock bands play were in arenas and large venues. I wasn't used to seeing bands do it themselves. You heard about it, but you actually never saw it," Gibbard said. "The only options to see shows as a teenager in Seattle were this place or bands that were so big they were playing arenas or a venue that was large enough to take out an insurance policy. So this was a venue where a lot of touring bands came through, because this was the only place you could do all-ages shows, legally." But since he was still living with his parents across the Puget Sound in Bremerton, Gibbard never really got to see full shows. His curfew saw to that. But sprinting across the street to catch the last ferry home is part of the reason the OK Hotel will always hold a special place in his heart: It was a piece of his youth. "There's a ferry terminal right across the street, and I had to be on, I believe it was a 10:50 ferry to be home by curfew," he laughed. "So if the show started at 8 or 9 here, it meant I was running across the street to catch the ferry at 10:40 ... so I have memories of going to see Superchunk here when I was 17 and hearing the beginning chords of 'Package Thief' and just running out from the venue, across the street and just barely making the ferry." "Death Cab for Cutie: Seattle Sonics" concludes Friday on MTVNews.com with a look at the iconic Seattle studio where the band put the finishing touches on their brand-new album Codes and Keys.

| Kristen Stewart Vs. Herself: Celebs Pick MTV Movie Awards' Best Kiss Posted: 01 Jun 2011 08:27 AM PDT Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner? Before Sunday's show, we ask which smooch should come out on top.
Kristen Stewart got to lock lips with both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson in "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," and it seems like all the — cough, cough — hard work paid off: Both smooches are up for Best Kiss at Sunday's 2011 MTV Movie Awards. We went straight to Stewart's fellow celebs to ask: Which lip-lock should come out on top?
"Vampire Diaries" star Kat Graham knows a thing or two about hot supernatural guys, and she has a very strong opinion about which kiss rules in "Eclipse": "I love Taylor Lautner," she gushed. "He could be making out with a hamburger, and I would be like, 'Best kiss ever!' " Olympian Johnny Weir also seems to be a member of Team Jacob. "Taylor Lautner in that movie was, you know, rocking the sex," he exclaimed, most likely referencing Lautner's ever-present abs in the franchise. "X-Men: First Class" actress Rose Byrne is leaning toward Team Edward when it comes to the kisses, even calling out Pattinson's fan-favorite nickname: "I think it will be RPattz." Elle Fanning, whose sister Dakota stars in the "Twilight" flicks, concurred with Byrne, reasoning that Stewart's Bella is "marrying Edward, so you sort of have to pick Edward." "X-Men" hottie Michael Fassbender might not know Edward from Jacob, but he did pick one of the actors over the other. "I'm just going to go with Robert," he said. Hilary Duff kept it right in the middle with her choice. "You're really going for all the tough questions, aren't you?" she teased. "In the first movie, it was better with Edward, and I think [then] it was better with Jacob," she said. "Was that politically correct?" Stewart's "Eclipse" kisses are up against Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Inception"), Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1") and Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis ("Black Swan").

| Jason Sudeikis Likens 'Twilight Saga' To 'Star Wars' Posted: 01 Jun 2011 10:33 PM PDT MTV Movie Awards host tells Jason Bateman that Bella and Edward kiss is 'a big darn deal' during our 'Horrible Bosses' Sneak Peek Week Q&A.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — It all started with an innocent fan question, submitted via Twitter, during the MTV News Sneak Peek Week presentation of the summer comedy "Horrible Bosses." The crowd at the Pacific Design Center had just finished watching an early screening of the flick and were taking in the live chat with stars Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis and director Seth Gordon, when the conversation turned to Sudeikis' upcoming gig: hosting the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday. "Can the two Jasons top the Bella and Edward kiss from 'Eclipse'?" the tweeter-in-question wanted to know. "What is that?" Bateman, clearly no devotee of the vampire franchise, wanted to know. So in stepped Sudeikis, who has been studying up on the Twi-ins and Twi-outs of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner's blockbuster series. The "Saturday Night Live" funnyman proceeded to launch into an uproarious rundown of the steamy love triangle at the heart of the "Twilight Saga." As Sudeikis explained it, Pattinson plays a "handsome vampire kid," Lautner portrays "this other fella floating around," and Stewart is "flummoxed — she doesn't know which way to go." Hitting on everything from "Star Wars" to masturbation to "Little House on the Prairie," the cinematic breakdown was both reverent and ridiculous. But any summary can't quite capture the magic of Sudeikis playing film school prof, so hit play on the video and check it out yourself! "Eclipse," meanwhile, is up for eight nominations, including two Best Kiss nods for KStew herself, one with Rob and one with Taylor. As Sudeikis put it, "Them smooching is a big darn deal!" Don't forget to check out the Movie Awards when they air live on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT. As we just announced, Pattinson, Stewart and Lautner will be on hand to present an exclusive clip from "Breaking Dawn - Part 1."

| 'Horrible Bosses' Stars Draw Big Laughs At MTV's Sneak Peek Week Posted: 02 Jun 2011 09:27 AM PDT Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and director Seth Gordon talk murder and terrible jobs during Q&A for the raunchy workplace comedy.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — Everyone must have knocked off work early on Wednesday (June 1) for MTV's Sneak Peek Week, because by 4:30 p.m. PT, a packed crowd had gathered outside the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. They were here to get an early look at "Horrible Bosses," though, so perhaps it all made sense.
Hopped on free Starbucks Frappuccinos, and with the prospect of checking out one of the summer's most anticipated comedies, the herd of moviegoers hustled inside to watch an advance screening. What they saw was straight up ridiculous. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day play three old friends with one thing in common: workplace superiors who will go down in cinematic history as some of the most vile, outrageous and evil head honchos ever. And while the pals hatch a plan to kill these villains, they spend more time cracking jokes, mucking around and getting into trouble than they do making progress on their murderous goal. It's an insanely raunchy flick, with scene-stealing turns from the bosses, played by Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell. By the time the credits rolled, the crowd should probably have been hoarse from laughing. But there was still time for a Q&A with Bateman, Sudeikis and director Seth Gordon — and more laughs followed. MTV News' own Josh Horowitz took the stage to introduce an exclusive clip on MTV, and then launched into the chat online. "It's nice to do a comedy that has a bunch of stuff that makes you laugh," Bateman said of taking on hard-R material. "It's not just language or nudity. It's kind of tonal — sometimes you can be meaner to babies." Yes, a family film this one is not, unless, as Sudeikis suggested, your family is the Mansons. Nonetheless, the stars feel the film provided a bit of educational value ... if they decided to take the law into their own hands. "I could get it done," Sudeikis said. "I think I could get it done too," Bateman added. "You'd only need an afternoon to figure out how not to get caught. Most people who commit murder are pretty dumb." Talk inevitably turned to the crew's own worst work experiences. Sudeikis said his was working in the frozen-food section at a grocery store. Bateman is still traumatized by a Honey Nut Cheerios commercial he shot as a kid, when he had to follow around a drunken crew member waving around a stick that was supposed to signify the cereal's mascot. Offered Gordon, "I had to do dishes at an old folks' home." "Dishes is the name of a woman," Sudeikis cracked. This isn't the last we'll be seeing of these guys. Sudeikis is hosting the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and Bateman will be on hand to present a Golden Popcorn statue. Voting in all categories is still under way at MovieAwards.MTV.com, with polls set to close on June 4. But voting for Best Movie will stay open through the show, meaning you can affect the night's biggest winner up until the very last minute.

| Reese Witherspoon To Receive MTV Movie Awards' Generation Award Posted: 31 May 2011 11:14 PM PDT Awards show airs live Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
There's no question that Reese Witherspoon has had a wide-ranging and accomplished movie career, and at Sunday's 2011 MTV Movie Awards, the Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning actress will add one more award to her already-crowded mantle. Witherspoon will receive this year's Generation Award, previously bestowed upon superstars like Adam Sandler and last year's recipient Sandra Bullock. "Reese Witherspoon is one of the most versatile and accomplished performers of her time," MTV President Stephen Friedman said in a statement. "Our viewers admire her for taking risks and for the breathtaking range of her roles. She fearlessly moves between dramas and comedies and always leaves everyone guessing what she'll do next. We are thrilled to honor Reese with this year's 'MTV Generation Award.' " With a résumé already filled with comedies like "Legally Blonde" and "Election" and more serious roles in films like "Walk the Line," "Cruel Intentions," "Pleasantville" and "Water for Elephants," the actress has proven that there's no role she can't handle. Her Southern charm and girl-next-door looks have enchanted audiences during her two-decades-long career, going from child star to full-fledged A-lister. She's starred alongside everyone from Robert Pattinson, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Phillippe, Jake Gyllenhaal, Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson, as well as Tobey Maguire and Vince Vaughn, to name just a few. This certainly isn't Witherspoon's first Golden Popcorn. She previously won Best Comedic Performance in 2002 for "Legally Blonde" and was nominated for Best Female Performance, Best Dressed and Best Line for her star-making turn as Elle Woods. In 2003, she was nominated for Best Female Performance for "Sweet Home Alabama" and was up for Best Performance for "Walk the Line" back in 2006. The 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with "SNL" actor Jason Sudeikis set to host the show, taking place in Universal City, California, at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

| Kristen Stewart's 'Breaking Dawn' Wedding Was 'Magical' Posted: 01 Jun 2011 06:05 AM PDT Elizabeth Reaser recalls nerves on set before the 'Twilight' ceremony.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — There are plenty of scenes from Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn" that fans are looking forward to seeing translated to the big screen (and a few we might have to cover our eyes for). But the moment most can't wait to catch a glimpse of is the long-awaited wedding between Edward and Bella, shot earlier this year as the cast and crew wrapped up years of filming the entire "Twilight Saga." Elizabeth Reaser (who plays vampire matriarch Esme Cullen) said it was an emotional moment on the set when Kristen Stewart walked down the aisle as Bella, anticipating her transition from her old life as a human to becoming a member of the vampire Cullen clan.
"Well, the wedding scene was like a real wedding, in that it was stressful. It took a lot of planning, a lot of organization. That was stuff we were all dealing with [and it was like] you were planning a real wedding," she told MTV News before screening and chatting about "The Art of Getting By" for MTV's Sneak Peek Week. "And the nerves ... I mean, there was an added element of nervousness when we were shooting it, maybe because there were helicopters and people jumping out of trees with cameras, but it was definitely a heightened couple of days on set," she continued, alluding to the paparazzi who were stalking the set, hoping to capture the shoot before its official release. "It took several days to shoot, and at a certain point you don't want to be in a corset anymore." In the end, it was worth the uncomfortable clothing and obnoxious press. "But it was really magical, and vampires aren't supposed to cry, and that created a real obstacle for all of us vampires," Reaser said. "Seeing Kristen walk down with aisle with [her movie dad] Billy Burke. I mean, seeing Billy Burke killed me. I understood in that moment what it's like to be a parent and seeing Kristen and see her really be nervous and see Rob really, really be nervous, and the two of them [together with] the families coming together; it was an emotional day for real."

| Jack Black, Seth Rogen Offer MTV Movie Awards Advice To Jason Sudeikis Posted: 01 Jun 2011 06:49 AM PDT 'Don't go halfway,' Black tells the 2011 host before Sunday's big show.
Jason Sudeikis is mere days away from taking the stage at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California, to host the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this Sunday. We're pretty sure he doesn't need much advice — since he keeps the audience in stitches week after week as a castmate on "Saturday Night Live" and is bound to have everyone laughing in the summer comedy "Horrible Bosses" — but if he does need some last-minute words, MTV News caught up with some other funny guys to help out.
"Don't go halfway. Oh here it is: All of the f---ing way," said Jack Black, who co-hosted the Movie Awards with Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2002. "That should be his mantra." Need shorthand for that? Black added: "AOTFW." While Seth Rogen seemed to be a little jealous of Sudeikis' gig, he did have kind words for the host. "I don't think he needs our advice," Rogen said, with pal Danny McBride by his side. "I've been jockeying for that gig for 10 years, and he got it." But what about some more advice from someone who's been there before? Andy Samberg, who hosted the Movie Awards back in 2009, shared with MTV News some key steps to ensure a successful hosting gig. "What advice can you give to a guy that has it all? Be yourself, grab 'em by the scruff of the neck and don't let go," he advised. "Wear a nice suit. Hydrate. Crunches. Make sure 'Twilight' wins everything so the crowd is lively. Rig the results!" Another former host, 2010 emcee Aziz Ansari, had some different advice for the actor/comedian. "It's so much work, so definitely have a lot of uppers on hand, like just drugs that'll get you fired up," he joked. "PCP is good to stay up all night, get all the work done. It's a cool thing, though; it's back in vogue. It's like Twitter, PCP. It's like trendy things: Twitter, PCP, Jonas Brothers."

| 'Eclipse' Star Makes Plea For MTV Movie Awards Votes! Posted: 01 Jun 2011 07:20 AM PDT Jackson Rathbone tells Twilighters, 'We've got a lot of heavy competition this year.'
WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — Hard-core Twilighters don't need a reason to vote for "Eclipse" at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards, but if you're torn, co-star Jackson Rathbone has some great reasons why you should help the third movie in the "Twilight Saga" take home some trophies at the show on Sunday.
"We've got a lot of heavy competition this year — some Oscar winners, some amazing films, some amazing actors," Rathbone said, reaching out to Movie Awards voters this week. "We're just lucky to be in ... contention, but y'all can help us out and go online and vote." "Eclipse" is up for eight awards at the big show, including nods in categories like Best Movie, Best Female Performance, Best Male Performance, Best Breakout Star, Best Fight and Best Kiss, which has Kristen Stewart nominated for kissing both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson (Le scandal!). And Jackson had one more push for the flicks. "Go out and vote and help us out. We need your votes," he added. The "Twilight Saga" has had a quite a streak in recent years, taking home nearly 10 Golden Popcorn statues in all. And there's a good chance the latest film will do well this weekend, when it will be up against a slew of other big flicks like 'Inception" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," and "Eclipse" stars will compete against A-listers like Emma Watson, Zac Efron, Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg, to name a few. "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke recently told us she was excited to learn that the David Slade-directed film is nominated for so many Movie Awards. "I think it's great. I love it that people are so passionate about it and that people are really into it and following the characters," she said when we chatted with her about the June 14 DVD release of "Red Riding Hood." "I think it's a great tribute, obviously, to what [author] Stephenie Meyer created. ... Rob and Kristen and everybody's been able to just keep it going and keep people loving it all this time, and, of course, all the directors, everybody. I think it's awesome. It's great."

| Exclusive: Daniel Radcliffe To Accept Trevor Project's Hero Award Posted: 01 Jun 2011 05:21 AM PDT 'Harry Potter' star calls the award, which he will accept June 27 at NYC's Trevor LIVE gala, a 'great honor.'
Here at MTV News, we've always been big Daniel Radcliffe fans, starting with the "Harry Potter" role that launched his superstardom and continuing with the successful acting career that has followed. However, recently, it is Radcliffe's more charitable efforts that have been drawing our warm regards. Since 2009, the 21-year-old has been involved with nonprofit organization the Trevor Project, a suicide-prevention/ support group geared toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning teens. In recognition of Radcliffe's awareness-raising efforts, he will soon take a break from his "Potter" promoting and Broadway duties to be presented with the organization's Hero Award at the Trevor LIVE gala at Capitale in New York City on June 27.
"It's fantastic," Radcliffe said of the award. "The fact that they think of what I've done by promoting awareness of the Trevor Project itself and the issues that it works to promote and help is a great honor." The star-studded event will also feature appearances from Amy Poehler, John Larroquette, Janeane Garofolo, Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, Brad Goreski and more. "It is exciting to bring together so many talented individuals who support LGBTQ youth in crisis, including Trevor Hero Daniel Radcliffe," said David McFarland, interim executive director and CEO of the Trevor Project. "Together, we are all working to give LGBTQ youth in crisis a chance at a future." The Trevor Project was founded by filmmakers James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski and Randy Stone, who made the Oscar-winning short film "Trevor," and it is the leading national organization dedicated to supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youths who need a no-judgment safe haven to turn to. Trevor LIVE at Capitale, presented by ING, is the signature annual event of the Trevor Project. The Pride Month event brings together top entertainers and corporate leaders to support the organization's life-saving initiatives, including its free and confidential lifeline, suicide prevention workshops, community outreach, advocacy efforts and educational resources. Radcliffe is nominated this weekend at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards for Best Male Performance in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1." Catch the show Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

| Cali Swag District 'Won't Be Replacing M-Bone' Posted: 01 Jun 2011 12:34 AM PDT 'M-Bone will be with us forever,' Yung tells MTV News.
Though Mante "M-Bone" Talbert has been laid to rest, the remaining members of Cali Swag District said they will carry on his legacy with their work.
"We're just focused on staying positive and doing what we were doing prior to this incident," CSD's C-Smoove told MTV News. "Basically, make M-Bone's legacy and his name live on through us forever, as long as we do it. We don't feel like this is a time for us to stop; we feel like this is a time for us to go harder." On May 15, M-Bone was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Inglewood, California. While Cali Swag has been mourning, the group managed to drop its M-Bone dedication song, "How to Do That," before burying its fallen comrade Friday. Now, the group, who made its mark with the 2010 platinum single "Teach Me How to Dougie," is readying a new mixtape, Deeper Than the Dougie, and said it will continue to rep for Talbert. "It's gonna be a lot of tattoos and chains and all that," Smoove said. "We're gonna really make his name live on." The group also revealed that it won't be adding any new members to replace the CSD dancer. "You see three people right here, but it's still four people in the group," Yung said. "M-Bone will be with us forever." Smoove added: "We won't be replacing M-Bone. Nobody will ever be able to say, 'I'm the new fourth,' and 'I filled in because of this.' " Police are still investigating M-Bone's murder and have made no arrests. They are asking anyone with information to call its homicide division at 310-412-5246 or its 24-hour anonymous hotline at 888-41-CRIME (888-412-7463). Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |
| 'American Idol' Scotty McCreery Weighs In On 'Country Bieber' Moniker Posted: 01 Jun 2011 09:29 AM PDT 'Justin Bieber is the epitome of [a] big star, so it was cool for me,' McCreery says of his new nickname.
Throughout his championship run on the just-completed 10th season of "American Idol," Scotty McCreery never really wavered from his country roots ... even when he was singing Stevie Wonder.
And while you've certainly got to give him credit for playing to his strengths, McCreery's down-home crooning — not to mention his rather boyish good looks — also earned him a rather bizarre nickname: "Country Bieber." And while he can laugh at the comparisons, if he's being honest, McCreery can't really understand why anyone would equate him to the teen-pop prince. But his fellow "Idol" finalist, Lauren Alaina, certainly can. "Country Bieber ... I mean, Justin Bieber is the epitome of [a] big star, so it was cool for me," McCreery smiled. "I mean, Justin's a whole lot further ahead than I am ... so, I guess it's mainly because of our age. ..." "Girls love Scotty McCreery like they love Justin Bieber," Alaina interjected. "It's true." "Thank you, Lauren," McCreery laughed. "I just figure it's because of our age. Me and Justin are pretty much two young guns." And with the "Idol" title in the bag, McCreery can now focus on expanding on that whole "young guns" thing ... his first official single, the ballad "I Love You This Big," is already the biggest-selling coronation song since season-seven champ David Cook's "The Time of My Life," and he's beginning to contemplate how his debut album will sound. And, not surprisingly, it's going to be a country affair. "It's gonna be a good ol' country album," McCreery said. "I like to have that old flavor in my music, but with a contemporary feel, so we'll see where that leads me. I think it'll be a good little mix." And if you just can't get enough of "Love," well, you're in luck ... McCreery said that you'll have plenty of chances to see him perform it in the coming months on the American Idols Live! Tour. " 'I Love You This Big' is a great song, it's done me really well so far," he said. "And I'll be singing it a couple hundred more times, so I'm sure you'll be hearing it," he joked. Get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page, where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions. Related Videos Related Photos Related Artists |

| Lady Gaga's <i>Born This Way</i> Big Debut: Where Does It Rank? Posted: 01 Jun 2011 09:38 AM PDT Gaga's latest posted the 10th-biggest week in SoundScan history.
By now, you're probably aware that Lady Gaga's Born This Way is the #1 album in the country, selling an impressive 1,108,000 copies in its first week of release. You're probably also aware that her first-week tally is the highest in more than six years, since 50 Cent's The Massacre moved more than 1,140,000 copies back in March 2005. But what you might not be aware of is just where Born This Way's big debut ranks among the all-time greats. According to Billboard, since the debut of the SoundScan era in 1991, only 17 albums have sold more than 1 million copies in a week ... and Born This Way's bow lands on the very edge of the top 10. Ahead of BTW on the list are a myriad of albums from early-2000s teen-pop sensations, including two released from 'NSYNC — No Strings Attached, which holds the record for the biggest one-week sales number in SoundScan history (it sold a whopping 2.4 million copies in 2000), and the follow-up, 2001's Celebrity, which sold 1.89 million in a week — the Backstreet Boys' Black & Blue and Millennium, and Britney Spears' Oops! ... I Did It Again. Eminem also placed a pair of albums in the all-time top 10 — 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP and 2002's The Eminem Show — and 50 Cent and the Beatles are represented too. In fact, the top 10 is dominated by male artists: Only Spears (and now Gaga) have made the cut. And of the 17 albums to break the million mark in the SoundScan era, only five are by female artists, including Whitney Houston's "The Bodyguard" Soundtrack, Norah Jones' Feels Like Home and Taylor Swift's Speak Now also accomplished the feat. So while Born This Way's debut is certainly massive, it's by no means the most massive ... Here's a look at the list of albums that have sold more than 1 million copies in a week, with sales data courtesy of Nielsen SoundScan. (And yes, Limp Bizkit is on the list.) » 'NSYNC, No Strings Attached, 2000: 2,416,000 |
| Mobb Deep Slept On Notorious B.I.G., Lost Boyz Posted: 31 May 2011 11:30 PM PDT Prodigy and Havoc tell Mixtape Daily they 'had tunnel vision.'
Celebrity Favorites: Mobb Deep Hip-hop is super competitive, and sometimes rappers spend so much time trying to outdo each other that they miss out on good music. For instance, in his book, the Queens rapper talks about turning down the chance to collaborate with the Notorious B.I.G. on his 1997 Havoc-produced track "Last Day." Back then, Pee just wasn't a fan, but hindsight is 20/20. "A lot of the people were coming on the block back in the days when Biggie had 'Party and Bullsh--,' his first record, and they would play it. I wasn't into it," Prodigy told Mixtape Daily. "I was focused on Mobb Deep. I had tunnel vision: I really didn't give a f--- what anybody was doin' in rap music, except for Mobb Deep and Nas and our little circle. Everything else was irrelevant to me."
So irrelevant that when Havoc was enlisted to produce on Big's 1997 sophomore LP, Life After Death, his partner-in-rhyme wanted no part of it. "I told Hav I just really didn't want to do that. That was my opinion at that time," Prodigy recalled. However, the H.N.I.C. eventually decided to give the Brooklyn legend one more chance. "I started liking Biggie. After he started heating up, I started re-listening to it. I was like, 'This kid is alright. I like, son,' " Prodigy explained. "Sometimes that happens in life though." Havoc attested to a similar situation: "I definitely wasn't checking for other people. I missed a lot of stuff in the '90s that I like now. I just had tunnel vision," he said. "There was a lot of dope acts that was out back in the '90s, like the Lost Boyz. I never paid attention to their stuff." The Lost Boyz — a rap group from South Jamaica, Queens, New York — broke out in 1995 with their hit record "Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz," and though they were known for high-powered party anthems, Hav wasn't a fan in their heyday. He is today, though. "Now, when I look back on it and I listen to their stuff now, it's like, 'Yo, they had that sh--.' They always kept the party poppin'. I really appreciate their music, and I'm glad that they made it," he said. "That's ill that they are even a part of the era that we came from."

| Eminem On Odd Future: 'The Dudes Can Rhyme' Posted: 31 May 2011 10:30 PM PDT "It feels like they're pushing boundaries and buttons," Eminem tells MTV News.
Eminem has been known to cause a stir or two. From rapping about killing his daughter's mother on " '97 Bonnie & Clyde" to being deemed homophobic by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, Slim Shady has courted his share of controversy over the years. Lately, L.A. collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All and their profanity-flinging frontman, Tyler, the Creator, have been drawing comparisons to Marshall, but what does Slim think of OFWGKTA?
"I think that from the stuff that I've heard — I haven't heard a lot from them, I still have to go check out everything that they're doing — but I've heard enough to know that it feels like they're pushing boundaries and buttons, and that's definitely one of the things that I'm familiar with, especially when I first came out," Eminem told Sway on the set of Bad Meets Evil's "Fast Lane" video in Detroit. "I love it, I love the fact that they're doing that. And the dudes can rhyme." Eminem's Bad Meets Evil partner Royce Da 5'9" is a fan as well, particularly of OF's R&B portion. "I'm a big Frank Ocean fan," he said. "I'm feelin' the whole group. I'm with Em, though — I haven't heard enough of them. I heard more Frank Ocean, for some reason. It seems like he's standing out, for some reason." When in his creative zone, as he has been lately, Em finds it hard to keep up with rap's newcomers. "If somebody has got a buzz and somebody is making noise, I'll go check 'em out. Sometimes I'm late getting to the party, sometimes I'm right on top of it as it's happening. It's hard, I think, when you're creating music and you're in the lab like me and him are a lot." Related Videos Related Artists |
| Beyonce Premieres 'Best Thing I Never Had' Posted: 01 Jun 2011 08:37 AM PDT Breakup tune, penned by B and Babyface, serves as second single off singer's new album, 4.
With "Me, Myself and I," "Irreplaceable" and even "If I Were a Boy," Beyoncé has proven that she excels at delivering top-notch pop&B, need-you-no-more-type jams. Her new single, "Best Thing I Never Had," which she co-wrote with Babyface and released on Wednesday morning (June 1), is just the latest entry in that category. Following the eccentric dance sounds of her lead single "Run the World (Girls)," Bey takes things down a notch on this midtempo cut off her new album, 4. Reminiscent of her 2006 hit "Irreplaceable," the song has the pop star taking aim at a former lover, admitting that she no longer desires him after discovering his deceitful ways. "I wanted you bad/ I'm so through with it/ Cuz honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had/ You turned out to be the best thing I never had/ And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had/ I bet it sucks to be you right now," she confidently sings on the chorus. With its radio-friendly appeal and catchy chorus, "Best Thing I Never Had" sounds not unlike a song you'd hear during a Broadway musical. That may be because, as Beyoncé has revealed, she collaborated with the band from "Fela!" for "a couple of days" to gain inspiration from the play's subject, Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. On the single artwork for "Best Thing I Never Had," a platinum-blond Beyoncé strikes a pose in a small bathroom. Sporting a tight-fitting dress, the pop star holds red lipstick up to a mirror after writing "King B" on it. In addition to Babyface, it seems that the pop superstar has also collaborated recently with OneRepublic. "Just finished mix on Beyoncé song — last one to make her album, once again she blew me away vocally, this is sumthin different — hope ya like!" the band tweeted on Tuesday.

| Official 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Trailer Hits Web Posted: 31 May 2011 10:04 PM PDT The green-band trailer differs little from the leaked version that made the rounds over the weekend.
With a little more than six months to go until its theatrical release, the English-language adaptation of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" has made its first official mark on American shores. The official green-band trailer for "Dragon Tattoo," directed by "The Social Network" filmmaker David Fincher, has found its way online several days after an allegedly unauthorized red-band trailer circulated around the Net. The differences between the official trailer and the leaked red-band version (which has officially been taken off of YouTube, Sony representatives told The Hollywood Reporter) are few and far between, save for some scenes featuring nudity and brief glimpses of explicit violence. In other words, this trailer is just as fantastic as the previously seen teaser. Indeed, while the "Dragon Tattoo" trailer's message isn't quite as bloody or vulgar as the one that protagonist Lisbeth Salander etches into the stomach of an unsuspecting rapist, it's clear that Fincher and his team — including Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who recruited Karen O for the Led Zeppelin cover that drives this clip — have gone all in on the dark and gritty tone that this story is best known for. Fincher's adaptation of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is based on late Swedish author Stieg Larsson's best-selling crime novel about Mikhail Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), a crusading journalist facing jail time after losing a libel case involving major accusations about a fantastically wealthy and notoriously corrupt industrialist. But Blomkvist gets a second chance at redemption when reclusive billionaire Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer) recruits the journalist to uncover the truth about his granddaughter's sudden disappearance four decades ago. In return for solving the mystery, Henrik promises to provide Blomkvist with all the evidence he needs to clear his name and depower the crooked millionaire once and for all. But Blomkvist isn't alone in his quest; he's aided by the introverted and uniquely gifted Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), the punk-rock computer hacker who finds herself inexplicably drawn to Blomkvist and his case. But even with the girl with the dragon tattoo at his side, perhaps the disgraced journalist has bitten off more than he can chew as the horrible truth surrounding Harriet Vanger's disappearance slowly comes to light. "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" lands in theaters on December 21, 2011. Check out everything we've got on "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."
