Farrah Abraham of Teen Mom fame has been arrested for DUI. The 20-year-old got popped Monday night in Nebraska. Officers pulled over Farrah Abraham in Omaha just after 1 a.m. after hanging a wide turn and nearly hitting a police cruiser in the process. Never good. Cops administered the standard field sobriety test and she blew it (in more ways than one), registering a .147 on a breathalyzer, nearly twice the legal limit. No word on where she was or why she got that plastered, but the aspiring model joins an illustrious group of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 stars gone bad. Abraham’s 4-year-old daughter Sophia was not in the car.
Just-released clip follows Demi as she tries to repair her rocky relationship. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato in her video “Heart A Break” Photo: Hollywood Demi Lovato may be nursing a broken heart in her Demi told MTV News recently. “I do something special for him at the end of the song.” The video opens with the couple talking on the phone, and it’s clearly about something serious. When Demi starts looking at photos of the twosome in happier times, viewers accompany her on a trip down memory lane with shots of the two cuddling, painting together, sharing flirty glances, dancing and strolling in the sun. When Demi isn’t reminiscing, she’s strolling down the street, her bag of photographic evidence that they are perfect for one another hanging on her shoulder. So, what will she do with those photos? Like a scene out of a good romantic comedy, she makes a collage on the brick wall opposite his apartment window, an endless number of photos that combine to create a portrait of them smiling. Demi, knowing it will work, struts away from the scene of her declaration of love, with an all-knowing smirk on her face. “Heart a Break” is the second single off what Lovato calls her “upbeat and uplifting” Unbroken album. “I didn’t want to come out with this depressing album. I think it’s important that I kept a lot of my heart open on the album because I talked about my personal issues,” she told MTV News of the 2011 release. “But I also had some fun dance songs on there for people to enjoy.” What do you think of Demi Lovato’s video for “Give Your Heart a Break”?

Band tells Rolling Stone album due out in June will be ‘our most ‘pop’ record ever.’ By Elizabeth Lancaster Maroon 5 Photo: Daniel Boczarski/Getty Images Maroon 5 is making moves like Jagger in 2012 with the announcement of their fourth record, due out June 26. Lead singer Adam Levine told Rolling Stone fans should expect Overexposed to be “one of our most diverse and poppiest albums yet.” With an ever-evolving sound, Maroon 5 is sure to impress with the new 10-track record. Already announced is “Payphone,” a surprising (but promising) track featuring Wiz Khalifa that hints that this album will be heavy on collaborations. From working with Rihanna to Christina Aguilera, the group has plenty of experience experimenting with different sounds and genres. But “Payphone” seems like it could become the group’s most distinct collaborative work yet. 2010’s Hands All Over was the first time the group had worked with an outside writer, and they liked it enough to try it again this time around. The group’s guitarist, James Valentine, told Rolling Stone, “At this point in our career I think it was a good thing to completely mix up our process and it yielded good results, as well as a more collaborative spirit within the band. We wanted to make something that sounded contemporary with the elements of a lot of early eras of pop music. This is our most ‘pop’ record ever and we weren’t shy about really going for it.” With nine Grammy nominations and three wins behind them, it will be exciting to see what they’re like they’re not being shy.

‘This is a song about faith,’ Lovato says of Unbroken song, for which video premieres next week. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: MTV News Demi Lovato fans won’t have to wait too much longer to see the singer’s video for her latest single, “Give Your Heart a Break.” The video for Lovato’s second Unbroken single will premiere April 2 on E! News. In several teased shots from the clip, a bare-faced Demi looks out from behind a curtain and flirts with her love interest. In another shot, said shirtless love interest returns her tender glances, also from behind a curtain. “The new music video, I’m basically trying to convince a guy that I didn’t break his heart, and we get into a fight and I try to win him over again,” she told MTV News . “So I do something special for him at the end of the song.” The video certainly seems like it’s going to be sexy, and Lovato commented on having to get romantic with someone she barely knows on set. “It’s kind of funny. It’s part of the job though. You just try to get through it, but it is kind of awkward at first when you have to act like a couple with someone that you don’t know,” she said. “He was really sweet, really sweet and really cute.” Recently, Demi opened up a bit more about the track in a video she posted on Twitter . “19-years-old … sometimes it feels like during that brief time that I’ve been alive that I’ve lived through more emotions than people twice my age,” she said. “I think that’s the reason I sing about love so often in the music I make.” She explained that despite the play on the word “heartbreak” in the title, the song is about the exact opposite. “Last year I began working on a song about a different kind of love,” she said. “It’s a song about showing someone you love that you’re the one right in front of them. This is a song about faith.” Related Videos ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ — The After Show ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ Related Photos ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ After Show Demi Lovato Style Evolution Related Artists Demi Lovato
‘I’m basically trying to convince a guy that I didn’t break his heart, and we get into a fight …,’ Lovato says of upcoming clip. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato Photo: Scott Gries Demi Lovato opened up about her life post-treatment during her deeply personal MTV documentary “Stay Strong.” Her life these days includes a bustling music career, and as 2012 crawls along, Lovato shared that she’s got some big plans in store for the coming months. During the “Stay Strong” “After Show,” Demi teased that she has plans to tour and release a music video for her second Unbroken single, “Give Your Heart a Break.” In an interview with MTV News days before the special aired, Lovato shed more light on her forthcoming projects. “The new music video, I’m basically trying to convince a guy that I didn’t break his heart, and we get into a fight and I try to win him over again,” she explained about the recently shot clip. “So I do something special for him at the end of the song.” While shooting the video, Lovato joked on Twitter about having to get intimate with her co-star, whom she had met not long before cameras started rolling. “It’s kind of funny. It’s part of the job though. You just try to get through it, but it is kind of awkward at first when you have to act like a couple with someone that you don’t know,” she said. “He was really sweet, really sweet and really cute.” This is hardly the end of the Unbroken era for Lovato, who confirmed that she will tour to support the album at some point this year. “I’m definitely going to hit the road again this year,” she said. “I’m planning on doing, like, kind of a little tour and seeing where I end up and just getting out there to see my fans again.” And it seems that until she fully begins to get comfortable with herself again, as she explained during the “After Show,” her acting career has been put on hold. “But when the right project comes along, I’ll definitely consider it,” she promised. Fans won’t have to wait much longer, however, to see Lovato’s “Punk’d” episode, which airs when the new season kicks off on March 29. “My two friends, Jack [Gaskarth] and Alex [Barakat from All Time Low], they Punk’d me,” she said. The guys got some help from Nick Cannon, and in photos teased during the special, Demi is seen looking surprised by whatever it is the guys tried to pull on her. While she kept the details vague, she did share this with us: “I’m a sucker for, like, ghosts and aliens and stuff like that, so they got me pretty good.” Related Videos ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ — The After Show ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ Related Photos ‘Demi Lovato: Stay Strong’ After Show
‘I don’t think that Barack Obama is really looking out for my interests as he said he would,’ 26-year-old law student tells MTV News. By Becca Frucht Newt Gingrich campaigns in Georgia Photo: Getty Images ATLANTA — When we showed up at the pseudo-ritzy Renaissance Hotel in suburban Atlanta last night for Newt Gingrich’s victory party — looking like a hot mess after 12 hours of Super Tuesday shenanigans at Georgia Tech and Georgia State — we were planning to chat with die-hard young Republicans who’d been reppin’ their party since they were in Reagan-themed diapers. And sure, there were plenty of GOP geeks in full Newt regalia spittin’ campaign lines like whoa — but then I met 26-year-old law student Kimberly Roholt and I learned there’s way more to Gingrich’s young voter base than many people think. That’s because Roholt is a civic convert. “Well, I actually voted for President Obama in the last election but I voted for Newt Gingrich today,” she told me. That is pretty much a full-on political 180. I clearly had to know more, so I asked her to explain her “transformation,” and she quickly pointed out that wasn’t exactly what happened: “I wouldn’t call it a transformation so much as a realization,” Roholt said. “I voted for Barack Obama last time. I was very hopeful. I gave a lot of credence to hope and change. However, I was very young and in the past few years since I’ve graduated, the economy’s difficult, getting jobs is difficult. I’m in law school, I’m living off student loans at the moment until I graduate and I’m very concerned about what the outlook is for me. And I don’t think that Barack Obama is really looking out for my interests as he said he would.” Ironically echoing the same sentiment of broken trust that fueled the liberal Occupy Wall Street movement, Roholt went on to detail how Obama’s failure to keep some of his campaign promises ultimately led to her Democratic defection: “So I switched to Newt Gingrich,” she said. “I think he’s extremely intelligent. While there are some things we differ on in some of our policies, I think he could lead this nation in the right direction, so I voted for him today.” When I pressed her to reveal where she disagreed with her new GOP BFF — asking if the differences were based in economic or social policies — she was understandably a bit reticent to talk cons on a night that was all about Newt’s comeback: “Social, not all of them and not greatly, but there are a few things that we differ socially on. Some of that might be generational, and some of it might be my own ideas,” she said. The question is: Are there more young people like Roholt who are kicking Obama to the curb after four years of recession, unemployment, rising tuition and jacked-up student loan payments?

In footage from her MTV documentary ‘Stay Strong,’ the singer/actress explains the meaning behind her ink. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Lovato in “Demi Lovato: Stay Strong” Photo: MTV Demi Lovato ‘s moving MTV documentary, “Stay Strong,” was named after the her two wrist tattoos, which pay homage to the mantra her fans would tell her while Lovato was in treatment. And in a special extra bit of footage, the singer/actress breaks down the meanings behind all of her ink. “I have about nine or ten tattoos. So, I have a lot of tattoos. The very first tattoo I got, I was sixteen. And I got ‘You make me beautiful’ on my ribs,’ she explains about the lyrics from the Bethany Dillon song “Beautiful.” “It’s one of my favorite songs ever and I got it because I was dealing with self-image issues.” Demi went on to tell the story behind her second tattoo, a feather behind her ear. “I got it a Warped Tour on a tour bus, and that just was stupid.” And that’s not the only tattoo she got on a bus at Warped Tour. Another year, she got a tattoo of a kiss mark on her wrist. “It’s my friend Heidi’s lips,” Lovato explained. “And then I have feathers down my ribs,” she said of another set of tattoos. “I have a cross on my hand and then I have ‘peace’ and ‘rock’n’roll’ on my fingers. My dad doesn’t know, but he’ll find out now.” While all of her ink means something to her, it’s the ones she got in the last year that really speak to her journey, such as the one on her right arm that reads “faith.” “It’s a matching tattoo with one of my friends I met in treatment. I didn’t think I was going to come out of treatment with a new best friend, but I did and obviously I believe in faith. Faith has gotten me to where I am today.” And Lovato shouts out her Lovatics, not only with the words “Stay” and “Strong” scrolled across her wrists, but with one other tattoo. “I got ‘Stay’ and ‘Strong’ on my wrists, and these actually were really meaningful to me,” she said. “My fans constantly said it the entire time I was in treatment … and while they said it they would also put a little heart. I have a signature heart that I dot my I’s with. So my fans would draw it on their wrists every day until I came out of treatment. And I thought, ‘What better way to thank them?’ That’s a connection I have with my fans I don’t see with many other people. And it’s really cool that I have that; it’s really special.” So, will she get more ink? “I have to stop! I am going to be covered in tattoos,” Lovato laughed during the live “After Show.” “I am so impulsive when it comes to it.” Want to win a copy of ‘Unbroken’ signed by Demi Lovato?

On ‘DISconnected’ after show, Vinny Guadagnino talks online bullying: ‘I want to help open people’s eyes up … to the negativity.’ By Kara Warner Vinny Guadagnino Photo: MTV News If you haven’t already joined MTV’s anti-bullying movement via A Thin Line , you can connect with our latest awareness effort, the TV movie “DISconnected,” which premiered Monday. The film revolves around four technology-dependent characters who all endure digital drama and suffer the consequences. In addition to its star-studded premiere , MTV News’ SuChin Pak hosted an exclusive after-show discussion with psychologist Jen Hartstein, “It Gets Better” founder Dan Savage and “Jersey Shore” stud Vinny Guadagnino. “I see the viciousness of people every day,” Guadagnino said. “I kind of want to be a soldier in the field, so to speak, and try to combat the negativity with a positive message. I want to help open people’s eyes up, like this movie does, to the negativity.” The after show also featured in-depth discussions of sensitive subjects in social networking like sexting, cyber-bullying and online dating. Guadagnino had two poignant bits of advice to offer on the subject of online bullying and dating: “Don’t take things personally,” he said, adding that when forging new friendships and relationships in the digital space, tread with caution and trust your gut. “If she has like two friends on her Facebook page and she’s a supermodel, she’s probably not real,” he said. “If all her pictures are model pictures from Maxim, she’s probably not real.” Savage recommended an even more-direct approach: “Get away from the … computer,” he said. “Sometimes, you talk to kids who are being bullied online, and it doesn’t even occur to them that they can shut the computer and walk away from it. The bullies can’t chase them out of the computer and across the house to another room. You can disconnect.” Check out the Facebook page for “DISconnected.” Related Videos DISconnected: The After Show
