'Breaking Dawn' Sex Scene Is 'All Close-Ups,' Kristen Stewart Says

Posted: 11 Nov 2011 03:53 AM PST

'It's not a beginning-to-end sex scene; it's memories,' she tells MTV News.

There is so much hype surrounding the "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" sex scene between Edward Cullen and Bella Swan that we probably won't ever be able to stop writing about it. The fans demand it!

Lucky for us, the stars in question keep talking about it as well, so we're all able to revel in the warm romantic (after?) glow for a little while longer. When MTV News caught up with Kristen Stewart recently, we asked what her reaction was when she finally saw the intense scene play out on the big screen.

"I think, for me, it really reflects what I felt when I was reading the book," Stewart said. "It's funny, because it's not in the book. It's totally just what you imagine in between those chapters, but without it, because you imagine it, it leads you to — it picks up right after, and then sort of really indulges in memory. And so I think that's how you see it. It's not a beginning-to-end sex scene; it's memories, it's nice. So because of that, I never really got to shoot, we didn't shoot a sex scene; it was all close-ups and such."

Stewart's steamy scene partner Robert Pattinson had a little more fun talking about the filming of their scene, in that he was happy to fulfill fans' sexual fantasies with his acting.

"That's the one time where I have felt kind of like the coolest person," Pattinson said of filming the scene. "[I thought] this is easy! I can fulfill people's sexual fantasy expectations without even thinking about it, piece of cake. That isn't acting," he joked.

"The only thing [that was difficult] is the vanity aspect," Pattinson continued. "Taylor [Lautner] just ruined the whole series for me. As soon as he buffed up, I went, 'Well, I'm throwing in the towel' on 'New Moon.' "

Katy Perry/ Diego Luna Join Other Hot Video Hookups

'The One That Got Away' has us looking back at memorable music-video romances.

Katy Perry and Diego Luna are falling in and out of love in the Floria Sigismondi-directed clip for Perry's track "The One That Got Away," which debuts Friday (November 11). Perry's casting of the Mexican movie star hardly marks the first time that pop has solicited a big-name actor for the lead in a music video. Some of the biggest A-listers in La La Land have done their time in the world of music videos.

The new millennium has seen many a star play supporting roles in some of the biggest love-story-based videos to hit the streets in the last decade. In honor of Luna and Perry's hookup for her video, we're shouting out some of the most memorable video love affairs to grace our small screens in recent history.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Enrique Iglesias in "Hero," featuring Mickey Rourke
In the cinematic 2001 clip, Hewitt and Iglesias play runaway lovers who happen to steal some cash from the wrong guy, played by Rourke. He follows the star-crossed bandits to a highway, where he confronts them, and one of them meets a terrible fate.

Stephen Dorff and Britney Spears in "Everytime"
Back in 2004, Spears documented the perils of life and romance in the public eye in this somewhat dark clip that features Dorff as her boyfriend. The video caused some controversy back then because Spears appears to drown in a bathtub (by choice? by accident?) in it, much to the dismay of Dorff's character, who tirelessly tries to revive her.

Scarlett Johansson and Justin Timberlake in "What Goes Around ... Comes Around"
In 2007, ScarJo may have had Justin's heart in this video, but she wanted a piece of everyone else's as well. In the end, their relationship couldn't sustain all that strife and things end quite tragically for one Ms. Johansson.

Miley Cyrus and Kevin Zegers in Rock Mafia's "The Big Bang"
In 2010, Miley hooked up with onetime "Gossip Girl" star Kevin Zegers to weave together a love story that takes place perhaps only in Zegers' mind. As an apparition, Cyrus haunts Zegers, reminding him of the great love they once shared.

Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox in Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie"
Sexy, dark and dangerous sums up the love affair between the former "Lost" star and the action heroine in this 2010 video. Heavily inspired by the lyrics of the track, the video looks at a relationship driven by violence.

Kim Kardashian Will 'Work It Out,' Pal Trina Says

'I just know that Kim is a great person. She's a very sweet person,' Trina tells 'RapFix Live' about Kardashian's decision to divorce.

These days it seems like everyone is talking about Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries. Sometimes it's on purpose, like when we asked Chelsea Handler and Wendy Williams to weigh in, and sometimes it's unintentional, as was recently the case with Mariah Carey.

Regardless of where Hollywood stands on Kim's short-lived marriage, there are those who are extending their love and support to the reality starlet. One of those supporters is rapper Trina, who attended the summer wedding and has the fondest memories of the lavish ceremony, which was attended by the former couple's closest 400 friends and relatives.

"I just know that Kim is a great person. She's a very sweet person and whatever is going on, I'm sure she'll work it out and they'll fix it," Trina said on "RapFix Live" this week. "I was at the wedding. It was very beautiful and, of course, I'm like, wishing her all the best and the support and everything. Things just happen [that are] like weird, just weird."

While many of the events of the splashy bash remain memorable, it was sister Kourtney Kardashian's little boy who remains a fan favorite. "To me, the best part was to see her walk down the aisle. It was just amazing, and her little nephew, Mason, I think he was the cutest thing, like running up and down," she said. "It was a really, really beautiful intimate ceremony."

Like Trina, fellow Kim K pal La La Anthony is sticking by her girl through all the post-divorce thick and thin. "Of course I was surprised by the news," she explained earlier this week. "Anytime someone gets a divorce, it's a difficult time. All I can do is be her friend and support her through every part of it, and that's what I'm doing."

'X Factor' Says Goodbye To Stereo Hogzz

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 07:01 AM PST

For the second straight week, Paula Abdul's groups end up in the bottom two, with Lakoda Rayne joining the Hogzz.
By Adam Graham

Paula Abdul's groups just can't catch a break. On Thursday's (November 10) results episode of "The X Factor," Abdul's two remaining groups in the competition — Stereo Hogzz and Lakoda Rayne — ended up as the bottom two vote-getters following Wednesday's performance episode.

Both groups were forced to sing for their lives in front of the panel of judges, and after a dramatic 3-1 vote — where an emotional Abdul nearly gave up her right to vote — Stereo Hogzz were shown the door.

It was the second week in a row that two of Abdul's groups occupied the bottom two and faced elimination. Ms. "Forever Your Girl" originally refused to participate in the final vote, pleading, "I'm not gonna do this. I'm too close to both acts, and I love them both," causing a frustrated Cowell to none-too-subtly rub his eye with his middle finger. Eventually, Abdul cast her vote for Lakoda Rayne to go, leaving the final vote in the hands of Cowell, who sent the Hogzz packing.

The Houston fivesome took their elimination in stride, saying they were blessed for the chance to be on the show. Abdul returned the compliment: "I'm blessed to have worked with such amazing talent," she said. "These guys are the real deal and gentlemen to work with."

For their final save performance, Stereo Hogzz — who were also in the bottom two last week — sang Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone," while Lakoda Rayne turned in a slightly twangy version of the Chris Brown/ Jordin Sparks duet "No Air." The night prior, Rayne earned high marks for their version of Keith Urban's "Somebody Like You," while Simon Cowell criticized the Hogzz following their gender-flipped version of Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man" for being too "cabaret" and for not doing the sort of song they would make in the studio.

Earlier in the show, host Steve Jones asked Abdul what it was like to again have two of her groups staring down death's door. "It is a nightmare situation. I can't say any other words," Abdul said. But in typical sunshiny fashion, she had words of encouragement for her students: "They're magical, and they're going to go on to sell records no matter what."

The upside for Abdul? Since she only has one group left, next week she can't be the only judge with contestants in the bottom two.

The episode also saw performances from Willow Smith, who debuted her new single "Fireball," and Jessie J, who showcased her latest single "Domino."

At the top of the show, the top 11 contestants performed Swedish House Mafia's "Save the World (Tonight)."

Jonah Hill Says Filming Sex Scenes Is 'Never Sexy'

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 05:46 AM PST

'It's very mechanical, and there are 800 burly crew dudes around. There's not a strong vibe,' 'The Sitter' actor jokes.
By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

Jonah Hill has some advice for filming sex scenes: It's best to do it with a friend. Otherwise, it's going to get awkward.

When it came time to film the sex scene briefly shown in the red-band trailer for Hill's upcoming film "The Sitter," he was lucky enough to be working with a friend. "Ari Graynor plays my girlfriend, and she's great. We're really good friends, so it was not weird or anything," he told us during "MTV First." "It was actually really funny, and we laughed about it. She was so committed and cool."

In "The Sitter," Hill plays Noah Jaybird, arguably the world's worst babysitter. Noah has more than a healthy sexual appetite, and when Graynor's character promises to go all the way with him if he makes it to a party, he has little choice but to take the kids along for the ride.

For Hill, the key to surviving a sex scene is to make sure you're friends with your partner beforehand. "If you're friends with the person, it's funny," he explained. "If you're not, it's just awkward."

But "funny" is the best you're going to do, Hill said. "It's never sexy. You know what I mean? It's never like, 'Aw, man, that was really sexy,'" Hill said. "It's like 8 a.m., and they've been drinking coffee. It's very mechanical, and there are 800 burly crew dudes around. There's not a strong vibe."

Then again, that's not too different from Hill's own sex life. "It's like when I have sex in real life: 8 a.m., coffee, mechanical crew members," he joked.

"The Sitter" hits theaters on December 9.

Rihanna's <i>Talk That Talk</i>: Bad Girl Goes Even Badder

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 12:00 AM PST

Rihanna takes the reins on her new album, which is not only the best of her career, but perhaps the best pop album of the year.
By James Montgomery

Rihanna's already Gone Bad, been Rated R and gotten Loud (all within the span of about four years, mind you), which sort of raises the question: What's left?

Well, if her new album, Talk That Talk — in stores November 21 — is any indication, she's not really sure of the answer. But here's the brilliant thing about the disc: Rather than go searching for a new public persona, this time around, she's simply content to sharpen her focus.

And in doing that, she's created an album that is badder, raunchier and louder than anything she's ever done before; an endlessly compelling, hit-soaked, high-powered thing that's not only the best effort of her career, but arguably the best pop album of 2011. Talk That Talk outmuscles Born This Way, outguns Femme Fatale and, while it might never outsell 21 (because, really, what album can at this point?), it certainly outworks it.

Simply put, it's the album on which Rihanna absolutely goes for it, pushing her naughty-girl image to the breaking point, embracing the clubs with both arms, strutting and lilting and sassing her way past her pop contemporaries. Working with a blue-ribbon panel of today's most gifted hitmakers (Dr. Luke, Calvin Harris, Stargate, Bangladesh, No I.D., Hit-Boy, etc.), she's managed to craft an album that will no doubt bear radio fruit for the foreseeable future (current single "We Found Love" is the #1 song in the country, just in case you didn't know) but also pulls off the rather interesting feat of being endlessly, obsessively interesting too.

Is TTT Your Most Anticipated Album of 2011? Tell Us On Facebook >>>

Take, for example, album opener "You Da One," which starts in traditional RiRi territory — building on a slow, skanking rhythm — expands with a starbursty chorus, then contracts nearly as quickly on a knotty, ratcheting middle. Or "Where Have You Been," a song that not only sees her borrowing lyrics from Geoff Mack's dusty stomper "I've Been Everywhere," but features a chorus that sounds very much like Faithless' "Insomnia" and a breakdown that recalls stuff like Skrillex.

There's the futuristic, military whomp of the title track (which gets an assist from Jay-Z, who drops bons mots like "I sell out arenas/ I call that getting dome!"); the Stargate-helmed, XX-sampling "Drunk on Love"; and the rattling raunch of interlude "Birthday Cake," and, perhaps most notably, the oddball, organic machinations of "Cockiness," a classic Bangladesh track that stitches together vocal whoops, cracking drums and bawling horns and features what might possibly be the year's best (or silliest) come-on line, when Rihanna coos, "Suck my cockiness/ Lick my persuasion" (it's either that or Gaga's "I want your whiskey mouth/ All over my blond south").

Of course, all those production flashes would be empty if RiRi didn't match them every step of the way. There's the do-it-on-the-décor lyrics of "Watch n' Learn," the soaring chorus she works herself up to on "We All Want Love," and her genuinely stirring work on album-closing ballad "Farewell," which may be her finest bit of on-album singing to date. She's got attitude and altitude and even a little bit of verisimilitude too — all of which are necessary components of why Talk That Talk works so incredibly well.

And sure, the back end may be a bit slow, but you can certainly say that about most pop albums, can't you? The point is, it takes a truly bad bitch to pull off an album this bodacious — regardless of genre — and on Talk That Talk, Rihanna proves that she just might be the baddest bitch of them all.

Jonah Hill Debuts Exclusive 'Sitter' Clips: Watch Now!

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 05:02 AM PST

Sneak peeks aren't exactly a glowing endorsement for Hill's childcare skills.
By Kara Warner

Although we've seen new sides of Jonah Hill's acting abilities via more dramatic performances in "Cyrus" and this year's well-received "Moneyball," fans of his work in R-rated comedies are likely excited to see him up to his old comedic tricks in the new movie "The Sitter."

MTV News was lucky enough to have Hill stop by for an exclusive chat about the film during "MTV First: The Sitter," during which he introduced not one, but two never-before-seen clips in front of a packed audience.

In the first clip, we meet Noah Jaybird (Hill) sitting in front of the TV while a phone rings in the background. "Mom, the phone's ringing," Noah calls to his mom, his eyes never leaving the TV. "Mom, the phone's ringing — can't you hear it?"

"Noah, can't you think about somebody else besides yourself for once?" his mom responds, coming down the stairs looking ready to go out and crossing the room to answer the phone.

"No, I totally was. That's way I said the phone was ringing," Noah says as his mother picks up the phone and receives disappointing news.

"I'm not going after all," she says sadly. "The Pedulas' sitter canceled last-minute," at which point she gives her son a very pointed, pleading look, hoping he'll step in and babysit so she can go out.

"What? Are you crazy? No. I'm not going to be a babysitter. I'm an adult man," Noah counters. "Babysitting sucks. Adult men do not babysit things."

"You're wonderful with children," his mom counters — cut to Noah standing outside the Pedula home and ringing the doorbell. A smiling, lovely Mrs. Pedula (Erin Daniels) appears, wearing a low-cut shirt that the camera zooms in on, as Noah stutters to say hello without being too obvious that he is staring at her chest.

"Hi! So, Dr. Pedula, he's still alive. You guys are still together?" he asks as he enters the home, at which point the clip ends.

Clip number two is set inside the Pedula home, in the colorful bedroom of a young girl, who looks to be in the middle of playing dress-up in that she is wearing a tiara, strings of pearls and too much makeup. Noah is meeting his new charge for the first time and not trying very hard to bond with her.

"Do you like to smell pretty?" the girl asks Noah, before spraying him in the face with perfume.

"Aaah! You got it right in my mouth! Why did you do that?" Noah asks, spitting out the perfume.

"You just spit on my carpet!" the girl protests.

"You just sprayed perfume in my mouth, what's your problem?" Noah says.

"My real babysitter, Nancy, she plays with me when she babysits, does what I want her to do," the girl responds, accusatorially.

"You know what? I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I'm not a real babysitter," Noah says.

"Shocking," the girl says sarcastically.

"I'm more of a sit-on-the-couch, eat a burrito, do whatever I say or I'll kill you type of babysitter. That's my style, you understand?" Noah threatens.

"Well, I'm going to wear sparkly things, shiny things and glittery stuff to make my favorite hot nightclub, OK?" the girl says to Noah, who mocks her statement and receives another spray of perfume in the face from her as punishment.

"Aaah! Motherf ... " Noah starts to say, when he is interrupted by Mrs. Pedula.

"Is everything OK in here?" Mrs. Pedula asks.

"What's up? No, I'm just hangin' with this little angel right here," he says, pointing to the sassy little perfume-sprayer.

"Yeah, we're just chillin'," she tells her mom, which ends the scene and the clip.

'Snow White And The Huntsman' Trailer: 5 Key Scenes

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 12:51 AM PST

Kristen Stewart is 'fairest of them all' and kicking serious butt in new sneak peek.
By Kara Warner

With most of our Kristen Stewart focus zeroed in on a little movie called "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1," which opens next week, she has an equally intriguing film coming down the pike next summer — "Snow White and the Huntsman" — the trailer for which was unveiled Thursday (November 10) by Apple.

No matter what you might have been expecting, given Stewart's comments about the film or production photos that were released, this trailer is a doozy and completely delivers on the intense, warrior-esque elements that have been teased.

Here are our five favorite scenes:

1. Charlize Theron Kills It as the Evil Queen
From the second you hear her eerily intense and foreboding voice, to the shots of her mindless murders, to the last shot of the trailer — in which she swoops her exquisite black cloak about her and it turns into a flock of crows — Theron delivers in every sense of the word. It's going to be fun to watch her Queen and Stewart's Snow White go toe-to-toe!

2. The Mirror on the Wall
Most of us are familiar with the classic fairy tale upon which this film is based, and while the Mirror is indeed an important part of the story, it can come off a bit campy, depending on the visual effects used to design it. This mirror is just so cool/creepy! When summoned by the Queen via that famous phrase — "Mirror mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" — the mirror seems to melt into a puddle of bronze liquid on the floor and then reshapes itself into a hooded, appropriately deep-voiced figure.

3. Stewart Looking Fierce and Kicking Butt
We had a pretty good idea Stewart's version of the "fairest of them all" would be different, based on the photo of her in fancy armor and holding a sword, and now, we have even more proof that Stewart's Snow White is pretty badass. Never does she look innocent or weak, whether on the run, defending herself in armor or confronting a fearsome, growling beast.

4. Chris Hemsworth Is a Perfect Huntsman
"Find me someone who doesn't fear the dark forest to hunt her down," the Queen commands, her voice heard over our first glimpse of Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, wielding an ax and fighting in the forest, which is followed by several other shots of Hemsworth in action, getting down and dirty in battle. It's a perfect deviation from that pretty-boy Asgardian prince Thor, if we do say so ourselves.

Check out other scenes from the the just-released "Snow White and the Huntsman" trailer!

5. Brief Glimpses of the Supporting Players
Even though the title of the film is "Snow White and the Huntsman," there are plenty more players in the mix of this fractured fairy tale. Specifically our brief glimpses of Prince Charming, played by "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" star Sam Claflin, who we see both in battle and leaning down to kiss Snow White. Then there are the eight dwarves. Eight, not seven, according to what Stewart revealed to Jay Leno recently, whom we only see for extremely brief moments in the trailer, first walking together, single-file, on the top of a rolling hill, then following behind the Huntsman.

Check out everything we've got on "Snow White and the Huntsman."

Is Trina Signing With Rick Ross?

Is Trina going to be the next artist to sign with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group?

During her visit to MTV News' "RapFix Live" on Wednesday, the Miami rap vixen didn't confirm or deny the rumors, but the evidence is pointing toward Da Baddest Bitch aligning with the Bawse. First off, Trina's new project will be her first since no longer being "affiliated" with longtime label home Slip-n-Slide Records.

"I'm currently in the studio working on my sixth album, which is amazing," Trina told MTV News. "It's my biggest priority right now. It's really major. I'm really excited. I'm really excited about who I'm working with. I'm really excited about just this whole new phase."

Who she is working with is what led many to believe Trina will be joining Wale, Pill, Meek Mill and others at MMG. "I have a few surprises," Trina added. "This album, I want to make it more about me. I'm not going to have a whole album full of features. I'm working with some really great producers and Ross, of course. He's the structure and the leader for the album. I love Ross. He's like my brother, so it's really important for me that he understands where I'm at right now and to help make this album be as great as I want it to."

The possibility of a Trina and Rick Ross alliance has been a long time coming. One of Ross' earliest recording appearances was as a guest artist on Trina's "Told Y'all" from 2002's All About the Benjamins Soundtrack. The two artists have also performed on the same dates recently. Although Trina wasn't with Ross the day he experienced two seizures while traveling to Memphis, she immediately reached out to check on his health.

"I was getting off a plane when I found out about it," Trina said. "I of course immediately reached out to him to make sure everything was OK and just to tell him to take a break, take it easy and take care of yourself."

When asked if she ever had conversations with Rozay about signing to MMG, all she said was, "We discuss a lot of things. We talk about a lot of stuff, so who knows?"

Do you hope Trina signs with Ross? Let us know in the comments!

Billy Crystal To Host 2012 Oscars

Crystal returns after producer Brett Ratner and host Eddie Murphy stepped down earlier this week.
By Kara Warner

Another day, another headline-making story surrounding the already-turbulent 2012 Oscars. This time, the story has a more safe and familiar ring to it: Billy Crystal has officially signed on to host the show.

Crystal spilled the beans via Twitter on Thursday afternoon (November 10).

"Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions," he wrote. "Looking forward to the show."

Following Crystal's tweet, the Academy released a statement confirming the hosting news. "Some of the best moments of my career have happened on the Oscar stage," Crystal said in the statement. "I am thrilled to be back there."

This will be Crystal's ninth time hosting Hollywood's main event, and at age 63, he will be the oldest solo host of the show since Bob Hope in 1978 (Steve Martin was 64 when he co-hosted with Alec Baldwin in 2010).

Crystal's appointment should receive a warm welcome from Academy members after the storm of controversy surrounding onetime producer Brett Ratner, who resigned Tuesday over his gay slur at a recent "Tower Heist" screening, followed by host Eddie Murphy. The "When Harry Met Sally" star received a standing ovation from the Oscar audience last year when he appeared onstage briefly to honor Bob Hope.

Crystal will join recently announced producer Brian Grazer and industry vet Don Mischer in revamping the show, which will be broadcast February 26, 2012.

The announcement of the new host has thwarted efforts of a spirited online campaign for the Muppets to host the show, but it doesn't necessarily rule out a possible appearance, according to chief cheerleader, @MuppetOscars. "Just b/c Billy Crystal's hosting, doesn't mean the Muppets won't make an appearance!" they tweeted when the announcement broke.

Noel Gallagher 'Not Desperate At All' For Oasis Reunion

Posted: 10 Nov 2011 01:07 AM PST

'If I need the money, I will do it,' he laughs to MTV News.
By James Montgomery

Early Thursday (November 10), before Noel Gallagher stopped by the MTV Newsroom to talk up his just-released High Flying Birds solo album, brother and former Oasis mate Liam was quoted by NME as saying that Noel was "desperate" to reunite the band.

Given the sheer amount of acrimony between the brothers since Oasis split in 2009 (with the elder Gallagher citing "verbal and violent intimidation" as the main reason), this came as news to Noel, who told us he wasn't desperate to have anything to do with his former band — now and forever.

"I'll tell you what happened," he sighed. "When I first started doing interviews [for Birds], a guy — we'll refer to him as 'a French guy' — he asked me: Did I have any regrets about leaving Oasis? And I said, initially, that I did. And he said, 'Oh, what about this solo project?' and I said, 'Yeah, but it would have been great' — would have been, this is key, concentrate on this — 'would have been great if we could have worked on solo projects and maybe got back together for 2015.'

"But obviously, that's not a story, and journalists being the cunning foxes that they are, he thought to himself ... 'If I just say "could" and "would," mon dieu, I have myself a story!' " Gallagher continued. "So that goes all the way around the Internet, and then it's like this mythical reunion is going to take place. ... It isn't going to take place. Do I look desperate? No, I'm not desperate at all."

While he's primarily in the States to begin the promotional cycle for the genuinely quite excellent High Flying Birds album with a run of shows in major markets (Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco), Gallagher knows there's always going to be fans who want nothing more than a full-blown Oasis reunion — preferably in 2015, the 20th anniversary of their massive (What's the Story) Morning Glory? album. But for that to occur, Gallagher joked he's going to have to endure some rather dark times in the very near future, because desperate, he most certainly is not.

"I will say this, though: If I need the money, I will do it," he laughed. "I don't need a lot of money, though, and here's hoping I won't anytime soon. No, I'm not desperate. My sh--'s not gone down the toilet yet."

Are you one of those fans holding out for an Oasis reunion? Let us know why in the comments!

Jonah Hill Has 'Love' For Tyler, The Creator

Catch the 'beatsmith'-turned-actor talking hip-hop and more tonight on 'MTV First: The Sitter' at 7:56 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com!
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

We've known Jonah Hill for years now. We first chatted with the guy back in 2005, when he was a little-known actor about to take on his first starring role in "Accepted."

But not until we sat down with Hill for a live stream event called "MTV First: The Sitter" — we're just hours away from the premiere on MTV and MTV.com at 7:56 p.m. ET — did we learn that before he made it to the big screen, the actor was exploring a different artistic path — one that owed more to '90s hip-hop acts than to comedians of that era.

"I made beats," Hill told us with a smile. "I was a beatsmith."

Hip-hop wasn't exactly going to be a career for the "Sitter" star but he was a huge fan of Gang Starr, Nas and Jay-Z, and his love for the genre remains. Now that Hill's pumping out comedies like "Superbad" and "Get Him to the Greek," he's found himself involved with the hip-hop community. In September, while filming "Neighborhood Watch" with Ben Stiller, the two actors jetted off for a meet-up with T.I.

"Stiller and I went to go visit T.I. in his music studio in Atlanta," Hill said. "We thought it was going to be this big party. It was just a bunch of dudes listening to music."

What's more, Hill also has a burgeoning friendship with Odd Future member and 2011 VMA Best New Artist winner Tyler, the Creator, and the duo are itching to work together."When are we collaborating on the greatest project ever?" Hill recently tweeted at him. "Let me direct a video for you and then we'll make it a full movie!"

"I love Tyler. He's awesome," Hill explained in the interview with MTV News.

To check out all of Hill's thoughts on hip-hop, as well as some hilarious tales from the set of "The Sitter," tune in to our live-stream event on MTV and MTV.com tonight at 7:56 p.m. After Hill introduces a never-before-seen clip from the upcoming comedy, which hits theaters on December 9, the interview will continue online for over 30 minutes.

Justin Bieber Invited To Get Paternity Results On 'Maury'

'We are actively pursuing this story,' Maury Povich spokesperson says.

Justin Bieber will take a paternity test in two weeks to prove that he did not father a child with a fan who claims the pair had a backstage tryst. Now comes word that talk-show host Maury Povich wants to have the teen star appear on his show to share the results.

"We are actively pursuing this story," a Povich spokesperson told the Huffington Post. An additional source from the show tells the site that having Bieber participate with Povich and his talk show would be a big win for the daytime staple.

"This would be a huge TV event," Amy Rosenblum, former executive producer of "Maury," explained. "When I brought the DNA test to TV for the first time on 'Maury,' I had no idea it would still be as popular today as it was then. Maury is trusted by millions of viewers, and if Maury told Justin, 'You are not the father,' everyone would believe it."

Bieber's camp has been adamantly insisting that Mariah Yeater's claims are false. "I can confirm that the team has proactively made arrangements for Justin to be tested upon his return and we're going to hold everyone who is involved responsible," Bieber's spokesperson, Matthew Hiltzik, told MTV News. Bieber is currently traveling the world promoting his album Under the Mistletoe.

earlier this month, steadfastly denying he even knows Yeater. "I think it's crazy because every night after the show, I've gone right from the stage right to my car," he explained. "So it's crazy that some people want to make up some false allegations, but to set the record straight, none of it is true. Never met the woman."

His statements mirror those made by Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta, Bieber's former tourmate, who told MTV News this week that it would be almost impossible for Bieber to make the time for a backstage encounter like the one Yeater claims took place.

"It wouldn't even be possible for her to get backstage," he said. "The security is so crazy there, you can't get backstage. And even if you got backstage, first of all, he leaves the show as soon as he's offstage, which is pretty cool. He runs offstage, gets in a car and jets, because the whole city turns into chaos."

Kanye West Is 'A Good Friend,' Theophilus London Says

Given their similar aesthetics and emotional rhymes, it's no surprise that Theophilus London and Kanye West have plans to team up — on something. When MTV News caught up with London this week, he teased that he and Yeezy have some sort of collaboration on the horizon.

"He's working on his G.O.O.D. Music record soon," London said, not mentioning whether he's involved in that project. "I'm just happy to be affiliated with him. We email each other back and forth and tip each other off on different fashion things. He's just a good friend. Right now, I can't say anything else about that, but he's just a good friend."

West announced last month that he was working on a G.O.O.D. compilation album, even citing a time frame for when he wanted to drop it. "Goodmusic. The album. Spring 2012," he tweeted, providing just enough information to get fans excited for what's to come.

These days, Yeezy is on the road with longtime pal Jay-Z on the Watch the Throne Tour. London already caught the show and has only the kindest words to say about it.

"I went to check out the Watch the Throne Tour; it's amazing," he said of one of two Madison Square Garden shows. "I recommend it."

While Kanye tours with Jay-Z and decides what his next move with London is, the Brooklyn MC is riding the wave of being included on the "Breaking Dawn- Part 1" soundtrack with his song "Neighbors."

"When they asked me do it, I was very privileged and pleased. I wanted to do a super emo song about neighbors and how neighbors are very important," he said. "A lot of people are freaking out, but it's a whole new fanbase for me. I'm just so stoked that all these cute girls that like vampires hear my song."

'Hunger Games' Trailer To Debut On 'Good Morning America'

In MTV News' inaugural Hobnobbing column, we list the things we don't want to see in the new clip on Monday.

"Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!"

OK, I'm still perfecting my Effie Trinket impression, but consider this your official welcome to Hobnobbing, MTV News' brand-new column dedicated to all things perfectly Panem. Each week, we'll dissect the latest "Hunger Games" news, fangirl over Katniss Everdeen or simply share our surefire recipe for Peeta bread. This is one arena we're sure you won't mind entering.

Today the talk of the tributes is clearly the premiere of the full-length "Hunger Games" trailer, set to debut on "Good Morning America" on Monday, November 14. Following the MTV Video Music Awards sneak peek of Katniss hurtling herself through a fire-washed forest, we compiled a list of the five things we wanted to see in an extended clip (which included, among other things, the reaping, Peeta and the Capitol). So in this week's Hobnobbing, we're turning that idea on its head and listing the three things we don't want to see in the trailer.

Let me explain. Trailers of late have garnered a bit of criticism for giving away too much (plot, punch lines, etc.), and I don't disagree. Let's leave a little mystery, studios! While I'll be lining up for "The Hunger Games" regardless, there are a few moments that I think would be best served by a silver-screen reveal. Here they are:

1. Katniss' Girl on Fire costume
In my original wish list, I asked for a scene featuring Katniss expertly styled by Cinna and hinted at the possibility of her enflamed entrance into the arena. But on second thought, I've decided this moment deserves a similarly grand introduction — on a 70-foot movie screen. (Though I'll still take Katniss done up for Caesar Flickerman's talk show ... )

2. The muttations
Though "The Hunger Games" obviously isn't a monster movie, the arena's rife with its own unholy terrors, chief of which are the genetically engineered wolves spliced with fallen tribute DNA. (I shudder just thinking about this.) The best scary-movie trailers leave the bogeyman out of sight, creating heightened suspense, and these lupine nightmares deserve the same sort of treatment.

3. Any character deaths
Author Suzanne Collins does not pull any punches killing off the tributes of the 74th Hunger Games, and while we're curious to see how this violence translates in the movie adaptation, a 2-3 minute trailer is not the place for these grisly finales. (Especially if the trailer is to be suitable for all audiences.)

Do you agree, "Hunger Games" fans? What do you not want to see in the trailer? Sound off in the comments below and tweet us at @HollywoodCrush with your thoughts and suggestions for future columns!

Madonna Delays 'W.E' Release To 2012

Posted: 09 Nov 2011 11:08 PM PST

Pop star's film will have a one-week theatrical run starting December 9.

It's been a big week for Madonna news. A version of her song "Give Me All Your Love," off her still-in-the-works next album, leaked, much to the Queen of Pop's dismay. And now comes word that her film "W.E." won't hit theaters until next year.

Directed by Madonna, "W.E." was originally slated to open around the holiday season on December 9, but now it will have only a limited, one-week run beginning on that date before opening wide on February 3, the Weinstein Company confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. The short theatrical debut does, however, qualify the film for any awards-show consideration.

The new February 3 release date would also coincide with a February 5 Super Bowl performance that Madge is rumored to be planning. In September, the singer screened the film at the Venice Film Festival to mixed reviews. "W.E." follows the love story between American divorcee Wallis Simpson and Britain's Prince Edward, as well as that of a modern-day woman (played by Abbie Cornish) obsessed with the couple.

In addition to "W.E.," Madonna is set to release her album in the spring. Along with production assistance from Ray of Light producer William Orbit, rumor has it that both Nicki Minaj and rapper M.I.A. will make guest appearances.

"Madonna has phenomenal understanding of both the minutiae of music and the big picture. Zooming in, zooming out. 4ever amazing. Plus VISION!!!" Orbit recently tweeted about the highly anticipated record. "Working with Madonna is a treat. Fantastic tracks and vibes. Going deep. She's ON IT !!! This is THE album!"

Robert Pattinson Relishes Kristen Stewart's Contact-Lens Discomfort

Stewart didn't understand why her co-star complained about his 'Twilight' vampire contacts until she had to wear her own.

Aside from ending what has been roughly five years of hard work and incredibly pale skin, "Breaking Dawn" brought a different type of satisfaction to Robert Pattinson. The end of the "Twilight Saga" meant that his co-star Kristen Stewart would finally understand the pain he's had to endure the entire time they've spent shooting the films.

It's not a great spoiler to say that Stewart's Bella will become a bloodthirsty, red-eyed vampire at some point during the two-part finale, whose first installment opens on November 18. This has been a long time coming for Bella, the fans and, it turns out, Pattinson.

Getting into character meant a change of eye color for Stewart and some vindication for her co-star. In the nicest way possible, Pattinson explained to MTV News' Josh Horowitz that knowing Stewart would have to experience the discomfort of his vampire contact lenses was "a great feeling."

Stewart had her own set of contacts to wear as the human version of Bella to turn her eyes brown, but those apparently did not hurt, unlike the gold contacts that Pattinson had worn since the beginning of the series. "She's like, 'I wear contact lenses. Why do you always complain about yours?' " Pattinson said.

When Stewart finally did change into her vampire eyes, Pattinson got what he had been waiting for. "When she finally wore them and then was complaining about them every second of the day," he admitted, "it was kind of satisfying."

Nick Jonas Says Gabrielle Giguere Has 'A Clear Vision'

Jonas produced the song 'My Time' for the 14-year-old Quaker Chewy Superstar Search winner.

Nick Jonas

Back in June, Nick Jonas told MTV News he was looking for the next Willow Smith or Greyson Chance when he teamed up with Quaker Chewy Superstar Search. Well, now he's found that person in 14-year-old Gabrielle Giguere.

"It was an exciting process, picking the winner," he told MTV News. "Basically, we narrowed it down to 35 of the best videos, and I chose my favorites, and then we made it a top five. And from there, America voted, and Gabrielle was our winner. And I'm so pleased, and getting in the studio with her was so amazing and crafting a song to her voice was a great experience."

Jonas, who has previously written tracks for Charice and Demi Lovato, said working with the Florida native proved to be quite a fruitful experience, resulting in the catchy, electronic pop tune "My Time." Giguere not only walked away with the Jonas-produced track, but also an online music video, a contract with Jonas Group Management and $5,000 in cash.

"It's just been a really great time so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing where things go for her," he said. "It was amazing getting in the studio with her. I think she had a clear vision of what she wanted to sound like, and she really wanted to be the best it can be."

So what does Nick think of all their hard work? "In my experience, I try and work specifically with the vocalist and try and figure out how they work and get the best result," he said. "We had the time to do that, and I feel like we came up with a really great-sounding song."

Mariah Carey Explains Jab Wasn't About Kim Kardashian

'I don't read the tabloids unless it's about me,' new Jenny Craig rep says.

When Mariah Carey sat down with Gayle King to announce she is the new face and body of Jenny Craig, she also opened up a bit about her personal life, including life as a new mom to "dem babies," cooking for her famous friends and married life.

When asked how she and Nick Cannon keep their marriage strong, she explained, "There's no teams; me and Nick are the same team always ... Sometimes we make each other mad. That's why we're not divorced after four months. I'm just saying this Hollywood thing ... did I say something that is wrong?"

The statement had many in the room laughing, given the fact that Kim Kardashian recently made headlines for breaking up with her hubby, Kris Humphries, after even less time. However, Carey insisted she wasn't referring to anyone in particular.

"First of all, I don't read the tabloids unless it's about me. And even then, when it is about me, I try not to read it unless it's good," Carey told "Extra." "I don't look at these people.

"I don't even know what it is, but I do know that marriages come and go really quickly in Hollywood."

Carey famously divorced record executive Tommy Mattola in 1998, and the pop star says when she married Cannon in 2008, she did it with the intention of staying married.

"A lot of people have high-profile moments, and then they get a divorce, and I'm sure it's very painful for them," she said. "My thing is: I don't want that. I got married to stay married. I want some stability for our kids, and Nick feels the same way.

"Not only are we both kind of jokesters, for the lack of a better word, we are also kind of provincial in that way. I think we both believe in trying to make it through. I'm proud of it."
