| Frankie Jonas Takes Us Halloween Costume Shopping Posted: 28 Oct 2011 03:53 AM PDT Jonas Brothers' little bro talks about his upcoming role on 'R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series.'
NEW YORK — Frankie Jonas may be the smallest of the Jonas brothers, but he certainly isn't short on personality. Frankie, like his three older brothers before him, is trying his hand at show business and will appear this weekend on "R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series."
Being that it is the season for all things creepy, the always swagged-out Frankie decided to bring MTV News along as he searched for the just-right Halloween costume. "What we're doing here today, we are looking at the costumes and we're going costume shopping," he told MTV News at Abracadabra. "Which I'm really happy about, because I need to get a head-start on my costume." Jonas picked two costumes — a zombie and Chucky from "Child's Play" — and he explained why, of all the costumes in the store, those made his final cut. "I chose the zombie because I was a zombie for two years in a row ... zombies, they're like the full-on. Everyone loves zombies," he said. "Zombies are the base of Halloween, 'cause you get dead, you get living and you get creepy. "I like Chucky, 'cause it's really, like, no offense to Chucky, but he's kind of cheesy," the 11-year-old continued. "But that's what I like about him. I love old, cheesy horror movies. I love horror movies. My two favorites are probably 'Sweeney Todd' and the original 'Nightmare on Elm Street.' "
His episode of the series, titled "Pumpkinhead," will air Saturday on the Hub, and like any seasoned pro, Jonas is keeping the details a big secret. "It's scary funny, but my episode full-on creeps you out. It's like if you mixed together intense with, like, super scary and then a little bit of comedy, and then you get [my episode]," he explained. "My character, I'm not scary, but I do things that make things scary. I don't want to give too much away but everyone's going to love it." Will you check out Frankie's gig?

| Girls' Generation Dish On Hazards Of Making 'The Boys' Video Posted: 28 Oct 2011 03:53 AM PDT 'A pigeon comes out and that pigeon flies all over the place ...,' Korean girl group member Jessica explains.
The phenomenon that is Girls' Generation is making its mark in the United States. Last week, the Korean pop girl group released their latest music video, "The Boys," and with 13 million YouTube views in just over a week, it's clear that fans love it.
On Monday, all nine Girls' Generation members stopped by MTV News and told us that they are still in shock that so many fans have checked out their latest effort. "We have never expected many people to view our videos," Sooyung said. "So we are surprised and would like to have more chances to meet our fans in other countries." The Teddy Riley-produced song is the first single off their third studio album, The Boys, which was released worldwide on October 19, the same day their video was released. The sexy, upbeat video shows off the girls' dance moves, highly stylized wardrobe and over-the-top set designs. "All the sets were supposed to portray water, sand, and roses ... somewhat environmental," Tiffany explained. "It turned out so well, so we were all very pleased."
In one of the scenes, the girls walk in slow motion through a rain shower of rose petals, but shooting that particular scene was not as glamorous as it looked. "It was really hard to keep our eyes open during the rose petal scenes because they would use the same rose petals over and over, so I don't know how they got rid of the dust, but there was a lot of dust," Tiffany said. Dust wasn't the only thing Girls' Generation had to watch out for on the shoot. The girls recruited a 10th member to join their group for the video, which unfortunately didn't turn out as planned. "There was a pigeon. A pigeon comes out and that pigeon flies all over the place and guess what?" Jessica laughed while explaining the pigeon's "accident." "It actually happened on the collarbone of Sunny's." "Luckily she has short hair," Tiffany added. "But it was funnier because Sunny didn't know that it happened." "I actually told her," Jessica said. "I'm like, what is that?" And of course, with nine girls on the set of a music video, you can bet there were a whole lot of laughs. "There are scenes with all the lights off, like the silhouette scenes," Tiffany said. "We were screaming and laughing while doing the scenes because you don't see our faces." Girls' Generation's first U.S. maxi-single will be released on November 19. What do you think of "The Boys" video? Let us know in the comments. |

| Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, More Are 2011 'VH1 Divas' Posted: 26 Oct 2011 10:41 PM PDT Jill Scott, Florence and the Machine and Jessie J will also perform at the concert event, which celebrates soul this year.

| Michael Jackson Wasn't Addicted To Propofol, Expert Says Posted: 27 Oct 2011 06:14 AM PDT Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers call their last two witnesses.
The involuntary manslaughter trial against former Michael Jackson doctor Conrad Murray is officially winding down, as the defense called its final two witnesses to the stand Thursday (October 27). Day 19 featured crucial testimony from addiction expert Robert Waldman and the man believed to be the defense's star witness, Dr. Paul White, a propofol expert. The Witnesses Key Testimony » At one point during cross-examination, Waldman was asked if he would consider administering a dangerous or harmful drug to a patient if the patient requested it. Waldman's response: "Absolutely." » Dr. White kicked off the afternoon session by explaining to the court that he has been researching the use and effects of propofol since 1983, six years before it was approved by the FDA. » When asked by the defense if he could justify administering propofol to a patient and then leaving that patient unsupervised, as Murray is said to have done, White said, "Absolutely not." He also stated that he wouldn't have expected Jackson to die from the amount of propofol Murray claimed he administered to the pop star. White is expected to take the stand again Friday when the trial resumes at 8:45 a.m. PT. Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter. He faces four years in prison and the loss of his medical license. Related Artists |
| Hannibal Lecter Cannibalizes His Way Into MTV's Killer Halloween Posted: 27 Oct 2011 05:05 AM PDT Lecter's gentlemanly quality and intellect make him stand out over other horror movie murderers.
It's time for yet another in-depth profile in our creepy crypt of horror movie killers for MTV's Killer Halloween, a competition in which we ask you, the best and brightest fans, to vote for the best and scariest movie murderer ever. We've already provided a handy guide to the gory details surrounding Freddy Krueger, Jason, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Chucky, Ghostface and Jigsaw. Now it's time to take a look at the man the American Film Institute named the number-one villain of the last 100 years. Name: Dr. Hannibal Lecter Occupation: Psychiatrist, cannibal, serial killer Weapons: Teeth, intellect, items purchased from the Williams-Sonoma catalog Archenemy: People who annoy him, the FBI, bad taste Profile: Smart, serene and sinister, Hannibal Lecter is easily the most gentlemanly of the killers we've included in our survey. Created by author Thomas Harris in a series of horror novels first published in 1981, and later immortalized by Anthony Hopkins' Oscar-winning portrayal in "The Silence of the Lambs," Lecter has won millions of fans for his creep factor and cunning ways. Not to mention his way with words: "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." — Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs" Horror movie expert Ryan Turek, Managing Editor of ShockTillYouDrop.com, told MTV News that Lecter's main appeal is his cool exterior. "Hannibal is the gentleman's bogeyman. A class act in a pool of ragged, obvious-looking killers," Turek said. "He's unassuming in physicality but absolutely lethal. He'll outsmart you at every turn and serve you up for dinner. His terror factor lies in the fact that lurking behind his amiable face is something incredibly deranged. That pleasant British fellow? Oh, yeah, he wants to split your skull open and fry your brains on an open skillet." Turek added that Lecter also has a certain finesse with regard to what types of individuals are to become his victims. "Hannibal eats the jerks or those who at least catch on to who he is. I can't imagine him suppressing his cannibalistic side in a theater of people text-messaging during a movie." Check out everything we've got on "The Silence of the Lambs."

| Daughtry 'Wanted To Look Cool' In 'Crawling Back To You' Video Posted: 27 Oct 2011 02:14 AM PDT Brand-new clip — the first from Break the Spell — premiered Thursday.
When Chris Daughtry was working on Break the Spell, the follow-up to his band's mega Leave This Town album, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu — especially when it came to "Crawling Back to You," one of two singles he's dropped in the weeks leading up to Spell's release. Mostly because, well, he'd heard the song a time or two before.
"It didn't make Leave This Town, and a lot of times, after being away from the songs for a good amount of time, you either go back and go, 'OK, there's a reason that didn't make the record; it's junk,' or you go, 'Man, there's something really cool about that song, but it's not quite there yet,' " he told MTV News. "And the more we listened to it, the more we were like, 'Man, it gets to that moment, and then it's a letdown.' So we realized the chorus wasn't quite right, and when I was working with [producer] Marti [Frederiksen] again for this record, we went back to it, and he goes, 'Let's try going here, man,' and I came up with the melody and that was it." So, imbued with a new corker of a chorus, "Crawling" was released earlier this month as one of two singles (the other being "Renegade") from Daughtry's Break This Spell, due November 21. And, of course, a crusher of a single needs an appropriately killer music video too — which fans finally got to see Thursday (October 27), when the clip debuted. "We mainly wanted to focus on a performance video. We just wanted us to look cool, basically," Daughtry laughed. "It's a cool location, the camerawork was pretty interesting, a lot of weird angles and movement and shaking of the cameras to get some really cool effects. It was the first time I've ever had a camera strapped to me ... with a harness, and I was still trying to play guitar with this device hooked to me. It was weird, but hopefully it will turn out good." As you probably know by now, it did. That said, there were still some moments Daughtry struggled with — mainly, wearing that epic camera harness. "Maybe it would've looked better if they had filmed me with that device the entire time," he said. "People would say, 'What the hell is that on him? I don't know, but it looks cool. I want one!' " What did you think of Daughtry's new video? Share your reviews in the comments! Related Artists |
| Locksmith Gets Super-Lyrical On New Mixtape Posted: 27 Oct 2011 03:54 AM PDT 'I got my notoriety from going into that hip-hop underground battle world,' MC tells Mixtape Daily.
Firestarter: Locksmith
"I really got my start ... I got my notoriety from going into that hip-hop underground battle world," Locksmith told Mixtape Daily. In September, the verbal wizard dropped his I Am Lock mixtape as a free Internet download. The 10-track project features production from Ski Beatz and West Coast luminary E-A-Ski. From the tape's opener, "That Bullsh--," Lock makes it clear that he is about his business. "It's more like a raw freestyle song so it's more accustom for people that are familiar with me," he said. "They know he can go in. Then, it's a shock to the people that don't know me, like, 'Yo this guy can really spit.' " "I ain't no drug dealer, I ain't no n---a star/ I ain't no bitch n---a, I ain't no prison guard/ I ain't no f---in' cop, I represent the Rich/ My little cousin got murdered n---a f--- a bitch," he spits. The wordplay continues throughout. Later in the track, Smith goes even deeper when he lets loose with lines like, "Lyrically I'm on another level, try to bruise me/ I make Lil Wayne sound like Lil Boosie/ I make Andre sound like Kanye/ If a n---a don't believe a mother---er, step to me." For Locksmith, however, all of this is simply a warm-up for his debut album, Embedded, which is due out November 15. For other artists featured in Mixtape Daily, check out Mixtape Daily Headlines. |
| Black Keys 'Lonely Boy' Video: Meet The Dancing Machine Posted: 27 Oct 2011 01:03 AM PDT Actor/musician/security guard Derrick T. Tuggle's smooth moves earned him a starring role in the Keys' new clip.
Forget about that "Evolution of Dance" guy or the "Double Dream Feet" dude. The real Internet dancing sensation may very well be Derrick T. Tuggle, the 48-year-old actor/musician/part-time security guard currently setting the Web ablaze with his smooth moves in the Black Keys' "Lonely Boy" video.
For the uninitiated, the clip stars Tuggle — and only Tuggle — as a herky-jerky dance machine who grooves to the Keys' new single while standing outside a motel room. Over the course of three-plus minutes, as the sleeves of his dress shirt become increasingly unrolled, he cycles through a series of rather amazing moves (and even mimics a few of the lyrics) before triumphantly thrusting his fist skyward as the song comes to a close. It is a decidedly odd, strangely compelling performance, and because of it, the "Lonely Boy" video — the first clip from the Keys' El Camino album — has racked up nearly 400,000 views in less than 24 hours. It's also made a rather unwitting star of Tuggle, even though (up until right now), no one knew his name. But what's even more amazing is the fact that his star-making turn almost didn't happen at all, as Tuggle told MTV News on Thursday (October 27). "I was cast as an extra, and there were maybe six or seven other people who were supposedly going to be in the video. ... I was the first one to perform in the video. It was a motel shot where the guys from the Black Keys come and give me the keys to their motel room," he said. "The director just sort of noticed me dancing and asked me, 'Can you perform?' I said, 'I can dance, anybody can dance,' so I took some moves from everybody: John Travolta from 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Pulp Fiction,' the Carlton Banks dance from 'The Fresh Prince' and a little bit of Michael Jackson, so it was a smorgasbord of everybody in there. "It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing," Tuggle added. "My acting teacher Mark McPherson, he has us do this thing before we start class called 'Song and Dance,' where he'll have us sing one of our favorite songs, and then while we're singing it, he'll have us do a crazy dance, or a sexy dance, and I guess it spawned from that." The end result is most definitely crazy — not to mention rather incredible, considering Tuggle nailed the routine in a single take ("As an actor, you have to know your lines, you have to be ready, so I was," he explained). And though he's had music-video experience in the past (he's done background work in clips for the Dave Matthews Band, Lenny Kravitz and Lloyd), he's never experienced anything quite like the reaction to "Lonely Boy," and he's hoping it will translate to more roles in the future. "I'm elated, and I'm still in shock, to be honest. I've been out [in Los Angeles] for 10 years, pursuing acting and music, so hopefully this will lead to more work," he said. "Honestly, I just went down there to do my part and see what would happen. Who knew I would take over the whole thing?" What did you think of Tuggle's moves? Let us know in the comments!

| Mac Miller's 'Party On Fifth Ave.' Video Gets Old School Posted: 27 Oct 2011 01:24 AM PDT MC dons a geezer getup for just-released clip.
Mac Miller may only be 19 years old, but the Pittsburgh MC has an old hip-hop soul. After breaking out with his 2010 Lord Finesse-sampling "Kool-Aid & Frozen Pizza," Mac returns to the classics on "Party on Fifth Ave." The ID Labs-produced song — which samples DJ Mark the 45 King's 1987 single "The 900 Number" — is the newest release from Miller's upcoming November 8 debut, Blue Slide Park. For the Rex Arrow-directed video, which premiered on MTV.com on Thursday (October 27), Mac most definitely gets his grown man on.
The comedy-filled clip opens with Mac and his Most Dope crew dressed as old men lounging around before Miller, who dons a gray wig and a beard, comes up with the idea for the senior citizens to go for a joy ride. Riding atop mobility scooters, Miller and company head to the park for some adolescent mischief. The Best Day Ever MC starts off spitting, "Been around the world, I'm back, yeah I did that/ Still kick raps, that cause impact, so where my kids at?" Mac and company carry on with a ton of childish acts. They joust with canes, do silly dances and vandalize a car with a sledgehammer, baseball bats and spray paint. For the second half of the song, the old-timers hit an after-hours club and ham for the camera doing a host of dances, like the cabbage patch, the baseball bat and a Rockettes-inspired kick-step. In the final scene, Mac — still in his geezer getup — races a team of runners. He surprisingly bests the group of athletes, but then collapses and fakes a heart attack when he crosses the finish line. Oh, to be young again! What do you think of the Mac Miller video?

| Eminem Gave Yelawolf Priceless Input On Debut Album Posted: 27 Oct 2011 12:59 AM PDT Em's ideas and opinions are 'worth more than I can pay for,' Alabama MC tells MTV News.
It's been a long road for Yelawolf, but on November 21, the Gadsden, Alabama, MC will finally release his official debut album,Radioactive.
The Southern rapper first signed to Columbia Records in 2007, but never got to release his LP. After that deal fizzled out, Yela hit the mixtape scene and became one of rap's most anticipated newcomers, eventually linking up with Eminem's Shady Records. For Yelawolf, Eminem's input during the making of Radioactive was priceless. "His ideas and his opinions are worth a lot," Wolf told MTV News on Tuesday. "Artistically, it's worth more than I can pay for — for him to even say what he thinks about a record." In February, Yelawolf talked with us about the significance of being signed to Shady and working with Eminem. "I mean, it's a huge deal being able to have a mentor who's done this for so long and [has] been through so much," Wolf said. "Also, artistically, [he just pushes] me to be better. Being around them dudes will make you better naturally. So we're excited, man." Yelawolf also told us this week that Em was present every step of the way during the making of the album. The first official single, "Hard White (Up in the Club)," features Lil Jon and it's the perfect mix of crunk and rowdy rock. Many of the album's tracks mark a departure in sound from what fans would expect to hear on a Slim Shady record. Even the one record that Yela's boss appears on, the hyped-up "Throw It Up" with Three 6 Mafia co-founder Gangsta Boo, is sonically different from anything that has appeared on Eminem's Relapse or the Grammy Award-winning multiplatinum Recovery. Still, Yela insists that the living rap legend's value stretches further than a single appearance. "I've been in the studio with him when I was writing a couple of records for this. He mixed, he did arrangements, he was fully involved," he said. Yelawolf wraps up his Hard White Tour on Friday in Las Vegas. Are you looking forward to Yela's debut album? Tell us in the comments!

| Steven Tyler Explains Hotel Room Fall Posted: 26 Oct 2011 11:24 PM PDT 'You can't handle the tooth,' bruised Aerosmith frontman jokes, attributing his tumble to illness from food poisoning.
After news broke that Steven Tyler had fallen in his Paraguay hotel room, fans wondered about what may have caused the 63-year-old rock legend to take a tumble that required emergency dental work and stitches to his face. On Thursday (October 27), Tyler opened up about the spill to Matt Lauer on the "Today" show, clearing up any speculation that he had fallen off the wagon. "Being in the program, it's something we have to expect," Tyler said, referring to his past substance abuse issues. "People thinking that is natural and normal. We flew last night from Paraguay after that incident and we're in Argentina for two hours. And anyone who knows anyone who uses substances wouldn't be up at this hour having a talk with Matt Lauer and the rest of America. It's nothing that I don't understand. I get that people think that. It makes me a little upset." Lauer then asked the Aerosmith singer point-blank whether he was sober, and the "American Idol" judge assured him he was clean. "No, it's not the issue," Tyler said, adding that he was suffering from food poisoning when he began to feel ill and passed out in the shower. Tyler and the band were forced to cancel their gig on Tuesday night, but a bruised Steven did take the stage on Wednesday, according to TMZ. "Short of having my legs taken off, people are going to expect me onstage, no matter what," the singer, who lost two teeth, said on "Today." "I went out onstage last night and I wore my sunglasses for the first song. I took them off and the crowd roared. It's all about playing to the people. We rocked out. Not only did I break my face, but we broke a house record, so life is beautiful, Matt." Share your well-wishes for Steven Tyler in the comments. Related Artists |
| Jennifer Lopez Covers <i>Glamour</i> Women Of The Year Issue Posted: 27 Oct 2011 12:09 AM PDT 'American Idol' judge is the magazine's 'All-Star Woman.'
Jennifer Lopez has had a roller coaster ride of a year. In January, the singer took over one of the vacant judges' seats on "American Idol," scored a hit single with "On the Floor" off her album Love? a few months later, and saw her seven-year marriage to Marc Anthony come to an end in the summer.
But it seems 2011 will end on a high note for Lopez as she'll grace the December cover of Glamour's annual Women of the Year issue. Lopez is being honored as an "All-Star Woman" for her numerous achievements this year in television, music, fashion and charity. The singer/actress/fashionista was interviewed for the magazine by another inspiring woman, actress Jane Fonda. Lopez talked candidly about what she's learned about love and relationships over this past year. "I think I've finally learned the biggest lesson of all: You've got to love yourself first," Lopez says. "You've got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with someone else. You've got to value yourself and know that you're worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship." So does that mean Lopez is ready to date again? Possibly, but this time she plans to try to keep her love life out of the tabloids. "I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye," Lopez says. "You know the media — they want to rush everything." While Lopez's romances often make headlines, the "American Idol" judge has been also been known to turn heads with her style. "The things I liked when I was, like, 16 and in the Bronx — jeans, cut-up T-shirts — I still like," she admits. "But I've been exposed to so much now from traveling the world and seeing couture clothes," Lopez added. "I used all of that when I created my new line for Kohl's. My style has come from everything, from where I started to where I am today." Lopez and 10 other lucky ladies will be honored in Glamour magazine's Women of the Year issue, which hits newsstands November 1. Who else do you think deserves Glamour's Women of the Year honor?

| Mobb Deep Up For Jay-Z Collabo, Despite Past Beef Posted: 26 Oct 2011 11:24 PM PDT 'It's just hip-hop, man,' Prodigy tells MTV News' 'RapFix Live.'
Time heals all wounds. After Jay-Z and Mobb Deep squared off lyrically in 2001, it was hard to imagine that the rap titans would ever get to a place where they would even consider a collaboration.
Nothing is in the works, but after working with Roc Nation's Jay Electronica, Mobb Deep told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway that they'd be open to the idea of working with Hov. "Tell [Jay-Z] to get in the studio," Prodigy said when he and his partner Havoc appeared on Wednesday's "RapFix Live." "He gotta come to Infamous Studios in Queens, though." Though the two acts threw quite a few barbs at each other, most notably on Jay-Z's "Takeover" and Mobb Deep's "Crawlin' " 10 years ago, Prodigy was recently featured on a track with Hov's signee Jay Electronica on his "Call of Duty" track. On the song's hook, Prodigy even spits, "Put your diamonds in the sky, wave 'em side to side/ Get juxed for your shine," a double-sided lyric that evokes the spirit of a robbery and makes a play on Jay's diamond-shaped hand gesture that he throws up at all his shows. Mobb Deep even recorded the song at Jigga's Roc Da Mic studios in Manhattan; they clearly harbor no ill will. After Electronica attempted to reach Prodigy on Twitter, the Queens MC got the word that the Hov protégé wanted to work alongside him. "I just got mad phone calls. I woke up late that morning, and everybody was blowin' me up like, 'Yo, Jay Electronica is trying to get in the studio right now,' " Prodigy recalled. "So we just went and knocked it out." Mobb Deep also plan to get together with J. Cole, another Jay-Z signee. "I was on the phone with J. Cole like the next day, congratulating him on his album and all that," Prodigy said of his conversation with the Cole World MC. "We're supposed to be doing some work together too." For Mobb Deep, it isn't about beef; instead, the duo are at a place in their careers where all they want to do is make quality tunes. "It's just hip-hop, man, making good songs. Everything else is irrelevant, man," Prodigy stated. "All the feelings and dudes wanna act feminine, put that to the side, man." Do you hope Mobb Deep and Jay-Z team up? Let us know in the comments!

| Beyonce Delivers 'Live At Roseland' DVD Next Month Posted: 26 Oct 2011 10:18 PM PDT B's four-night stand at Roseland Ballroom arrives on DVD by Thanksgiving.
Back in August, Beyoncé played four hotly hyped, sold-out shows at New York's Roseland Ballroom, the same venue where Radiohead played a two-night stand last month. If you weren't one of the lucky few who snagged a ticket to Beyoncé's celebration of her 4 album, don't worry. The singer will release a new concert DVD, "Live at Roseland," on November 21.
The DVD, which captures the "4 Intimate Nights with Beyoncé" event, will be sold exclusively at Walmart and includes 26 songs from her cabaret show and concert, which took place shortly before she officially announced her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The DVD not only includes a montage of B's finest tunes, both with Destiny's Child and as a solo star, but also features the singer candidly revealing the stories behind the greatest moments in her career. In addition to a retrospective of hits, Beyoncé also brought things up to date during those string of Roseland concerts, playing her 2011 album, 4, in its entirety. Jay-Z's favorite lady, who just dropped her video for "Party," will also release, on November 29, a deluxe DVD package, "Live at Roseland: The Elements of 4." The pack will include plenty of extras that Beyoncé fans should go crazy over, including a two-disc DVD featuring the concert, bonus footage, previously unreleased videos, a booklet and a video anthology. November 21 is shaping up to be a big day for pop fans. Lady Gaga releases her very own concert DVD special that day, in addition to the Born This Way the Remix album. Even better, she'll bundle those two new items with her original Born This Way album for the ultimate Gaga gift, called Born This Way: The Collection. Which DVD special are you most excited for?

| Beavis And Butt-Head 'Taking Shots' At Reality Shows, Mike Judge Promises Posted: 26 Oct 2011 10:04 PM PDT Duo return to MTV with new episodes tonight.
It's been almost 14 years since the slackest slackers of a generation, Beavis and Butt-head, filled the airwaves with their shenanigans, but when the duo return to television with new episodes Thursday (October 27), the MTV they return to is quite a different one.
Creator Mike Judge had to address the changes to the channel when deciding which direction to take the show in. Without music videos playing as regularly on MTV, there is less of an opportunity for Beavis and Butt-head to sit around and comment on them as they did during the show's original run. Reality shows like "Jersey Shore" and "16 and Pregnant" have replaced what were formerly blocks of music videos, and Judge said he wanted the new "Beavis and Butt-head" episodes to reflect that shift. According to Judge, MTV reality shows comprise 60 percent of the content Beavis and Butt-head sit and watch now. The transition from music videos to reality programming has been an easy one for Judge. "I think it is easier taking shots at the reality shows than music videos," Judge said. But Beavis and Butt-head didn't just make fun of the videos they watched. "In the beginning of the first run, I did a lot of what I would call taking shots at the videos," Judge said. "But then a lot of times I would just have them talk about whatever, and it didn't necessarily have that much to do about saying anything one way or another about the video." Reality TV, on the other hand, is a different story. Judge has found that with the new crop of shows, the material is too ripe for ridicule to ignore. "With the reality shows, it just feels like pay dirt to me," Judge said. "Those shows have just been really fun to have Beavis and Butt-head watch." Don't miss "Beavis and Butt-head" when it returns to TV Thursday at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Related Videos |
| Rihanna's 'We Found Love' Co-Star Talks On-Set Chemistry Posted: 27 Oct 2011 06:15 AM PDT 'We were like mates,' model Dudley O'Shaughnessy says of his connection to Rihanna.
If the onscreen chemistry between Rihanna and her "We Found Love" co-star, boxer-turned-model Dudley O'Shaughnessy, seemed real, well, that's because it was.
That's what O'Shaughnessy is saying in a new interview with London's Evening Standard newspaper, in which he gushes about his connection with the pop star, and admits that after three days on "We Found Love" shoot, he "didn't want it to end." "I loved it," he said. "Not just because it was 'a certain person's' video, but just because I love being on set. "I wasn't star-struck at all ... she's just a nice girl. It's not like just because she's achieved so much that she thinks her sh-- don't stink," O'Shaughnessy continued. "She's such a humble, down-to-earth girl and that made it even better for me because I didn't feel intimidated or anything. We just got along. We were just like mates." O'Shaughnessy added that, before being cast in "We Found Love," he had given up his dreams of becoming a professional boxer and was even contemplating quitting modeling, thinking, "I'm going to have to get a normal job now. I'll have to be a plumber or something," but, after his agency supplied his headshots to Rihanna's camp, she personally picked him for the video. "The director, everyone, loved him," his agent told the Standard. "Obviously, Rihanna loved him." Of course, O'Shaughnessy played it coy when asked about rumors that his and Rihanna's on-set relationship carried over into their off-set lives. Asked how he handled those steamy sex scenes, the model said, "You've just got to get into it," he said, adding that despite what you may read, he is still very much single. "It's not that I'm looking [for a girlfriend]," he said. "I don't want to say I want a girlfriend or I don't. If it happens, it happens." |
| Nicki Minaj Is Most-Searched Celeb Halloween Costume Posted: 27 Oct 2011 08:18 AM PDT Nicki ranks fourth overall on Google list, trailing only 'Angry Birds,' 'Black Swan' and 'Playboy Bunny.'
Given that over the past year she's rocked outfits like this — and this and this — it shouldn't really come as a surprise to learn that Nicki Minaj is the year's most-searched celebrity Halloween costume, according to Google. Minaj bested the likes of Charlie Sheen, Captain America, Smurfette (Katy Perry's gonna be pissed!) and, oddly enough, Wilfred, the titular star of F/X's oddball comedy, on the list. Overall, she ranks fourth on the list of most-searched Halloween costumes, trailing only "Angry Birds," "Black Swan" and "Playboy Bunny." And while we can't help you with either of those three (though, really, how hard is it to dress up like a ballerina or a bunny?) over on the MTV Style Blog, there's an entire post dedicated to mimicking Minaj's looks for Halloween, including the beehived princess-of-the-future look she rocked at the 2010 VMA pre show. And though they didn't make Google's most-searched list, the folks over at Style have also put together Halloween how-to's for Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Taylor Momsen. Of course, if you're broke, you could just rock one of our costume suggestions, most of which don't actually require a costume at all. Perhaps getting herself in the Halloween spirit, earlier this month Nicki wrapped filming on the video for Birdman's latest single "Y.U. Mad," in which she dresses as Lil Wayne, donning dreadlocks, a tank top and some saggy shorts to complete the look. Related Artists |
| Chris Brown, Josh Holloway Land On 'Planet B-Boy' Posted: 27 Oct 2011 07:31 AM PDT Singer, 'Lost' actor team up for Benson Lee film based on documentary.
Chris Brown is beefing up his acting résumé with a lead in the new flick "Planet B-Boy," alongside "Lost" actor Josh Holloway. The Benson Lee-directed film is based on Lee's award-winning 2007 documentary of the same name, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Production for the film kicks off this week in L.A. According to a description from studio Screen Gems, it "is about an all-star American b-boy crew training to compete in France at the Battle of the Year (BOTY) International Championships. After a decade of defeat, the crew and their coach must go up against the best and greatest b-boys in the world: the Koreans, the Russians and the French who have dominated the original American dance form for the last 10 years." The film also stars Laz Alonso, Josh Peck and Caity Lotz. Production will eventually move to Montpellier, France. "B-Boy" is the latest project on Brown's acting résumé, which already includes "The O.C.," "The Christmas," "Stomp the Yard" and "Takers." He's also slated to star in "Think Like a Man," based on the Steve Harvey book. "When acting, I feel like it's cool to use your strengths, but it's also cool to use your other abilities as well," Brown told MTV News in 2010 about a Hollywood career. "I didn't just wanna do movies that had consistent dancing and singing: I wanted to do stuff that pushes me as an actor at the end of the day. Because you have people like T.I. and Common that do stuff that's not around what they do in the entertainment industry as far as music, and they succeeded. "So I just wanna branch over to that, especially like Will Smith," he continued. "He comes from rapping and going right into the acting thing, so I wanna come from the singing parts and go into acting, and people can tell the difference. I think that with this role [in 'Takers'], it was more intense, more action, more stuff that I love to do, what I love to see in movies." Related Artists |
