Posted on October 17, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Lady Gaga has done it again, getting all naked in a promotional image for her single “Do What U Want,” featuring R. Kelly, who should have no problem with that. With just a spot of strategically-placed foliage standing between this shot and X-rated indecency, Mother Monster still shows off her curves and fair skin: With her long brunette locks draped seductively over her shoulder, the singer’s naked body is scattered with leaves and moss as she gazes into our souls. The latest in a long, long line of Lady Gaga nude photos comes as she treated fans to a sneak peek of her forthcoming collaboration with R&B star Kelly. “Do What U Want” drops on October 21, with her full album ARTPOP scheduled for next month. Listen to a snippet from the song after the jump … Lady Gaga – Do What U Want Teaser The teaser, which appears in Best Buy spot, apparently went over well. Gaga said she was overwhelmed by her loyal army of followers’ responses. Writing a series of tweets, she said: “I feel like crying seeing your excitement for the new music it means the world to me, this music is my life.” “FUN FACT about ARTPOP: I sang the songs over and over until they transformed into a part of me. Then we pressed record,” she went on. “Each song on ARTPOP was inspired by different types of adrenaline, so it’s an expression of the various rushes. I want you to feel them.” Deep stuff right there, Little Monsters. Lady Gaga ARTPOP Album Cover

Daniel Radcliffe on Gay Sex: OUCH!

Posted on October 17, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Daniel Radcliffe portrays Allen Ginsberg in the new film Kill Your Darlings . And, as part of this role, the beloved Harry Potter star falls in love Dane DeHaan’s Lucien Carr, the beat poet’s real-life boyfriend back in the day. What is Radcliffe’s take on homosexual love versus heterosexual love? “I don’t think there’s any difference between how one falls in love,” he tells the new issue of Flaunt . “People express love differently, person to person, but it’s not gender or sexuality related. The only difference it made was obviously the actual sex scene, of course.” Ah, yes, the sex scene. Radcliffe engages in one in the movie after Ginsberg is rejected by Carr. The character loses his virginity in it. “I was talked through it by the director [John Krokidas],” Radcliffe says. “He would be telling me what I would be feeling in each take. Basically, gay sex, especially for the first time, is really f-cking painful.” Off screen, the star is reportedly dating Erin Darke . But on screen “[Krokidas] said that he had never seen that portrayed accurately before,” Radcliffe said of gay sex. “He wanted it to look like an authentic loss of virginity.” Kill Your Darlings hits theaters on October 18. Are you now more or less intrigued about seeing it?

Stalley Relives Savage Journey To Maybach On New Tape

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I still want so much more, and there’s so much more to get,’ he tells Mixtape Daily of Savage Journey to the American Dream. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Ade Mangum Stalley Photo: Getty Images Main Pick Headliners : Stalley Representing : Massillon, Ohio Mixtape : Savage Journey to the American Dream Real Spit : The road to the riches is no doubt a bumpy one, but now that Massillon, Ohio, MC Stalley is riding with the Maybach Music Group, his trip should be a bit smoother — or so you’d think. On March 30, the bearded Maybach spitter dropped Savage Journey to the American Dream. “I named it Savage Journey to the American Dream because that’s just what I’ve been through,” Stalley told Mixtape Daily. “I’ve been searching for that American dream, and I’ve been on a savage hunt for it for the past year.” Stalley first began making a name for himself in 2009 when he dropped MadStalley: The Autobiography, a mixtape he released with Mickey Factz’s GFC camp, on which he rhymed over classic Madlib productions. It was a subtle yet effective shot that would help Stalley make a name for himself in quite a few influential rap circles. After linking with Damon Dash’s DD172 outfit and recording alongside guys like Mos Def and Curren$y, the Ohio native found his lane and released Lincoln Way Nights in 2011. It was his most notable release and helped him get noticed by Rick Ross . “One of my goals was to be a signed artist, and now I’m with MMG and Warner Bros.,” he said. “I thought that things would calm down and I would kinda be satisfied with that, but I still want so much more and there’s so much more to get.” On Savage Journey, Stalley navigates through the pitfalls that await young rappers. “Lane to lane switchin’, keep these lames and dames at distance/ Eight-cylinder pistons, it’s money talkin’, listen/ And it’s tellin’ me go get it, and I’ve been on my way,” he spits on the moody “Route 21.” Curren$y shows up on the car-themed “Hammers & Vogues,” and on “Lover’s Lane,” Stalley makes a pit stop after getting sidetracked by some overzealous females. Stalley gets props, holding down most of the mixtape by himself, but he of course gets help from his MMG family. Rozay and Meek Mill show up for the Block Beattaz-produced “BCGMMG,” and Wale lends a helping hand on “Home to You.” Whether Stalley will ultimately see his dream fulfilled remains to be seen, but with his underground rep already solidified, there’s nowhere to go but up.

Daniel Radcliffe ‘A Hell Of A Talent’ In ‘Kill Your Darlings’

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Radcliffe’s portrayal of Allen Ginsberg in upcoming indie flick will ‘put to bed so many doubting minds,’ Ben Foster tells MTV News. By Kevin P. Sullivan Daniel Radcliffe Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images The list of characters in “Kill Your Darlings” is enough to immediately draw attention. The upcoming film counts literary icons like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac among its players, but the young cast attached to fill out the roles is truly something to behold. The indie production made waves in Hollywood by landing Daniel Radcliffe in the role of Ginsberg. With so many people paying attention to Radcliffe’s post-“Potter” career moves, “Kill Your Darlings” became the project to watch. Radcliffe’s name joined a list of some of Hollywood’s hottest young talent, including Elizabeth Olsen , “Chronicle” star Dane DeHaan , “Boardwalk Empire” actor Jack Huston and Ben Foster . MTV News spoke with Foster about working as part of such a talented young cast and how Radcliffe will “shock” audiences come next year. “What’s most exciting about the script is that these are before they were giants. These lions of literature are still in development,” Foster said. “Working with these actors is a gas. You can’t live up to the hero. You can live up the child. That’s what we’re honoring.” Of all the cast members, it’s likely that Radcliffe has the most to prove. As only his second film role after ending the “Harry Potter” series, the film could be a crossroads of sorts for his career. Foster spoke to Radcliffe’s ability and predicted audience reactions when the film finally hits. “In terms of Daniel Radcliffe, I admire him so much. He is a tremendously courageous human, great mind,” Foster said. “He’s done some work in this film which I think is going to shock and impress and put to bed so many doubting minds. Everyone seems to be ready to cut the man down, and he’s going to prove them wrong. He’s a hell of a talent.” “Kill Your Darlings” is due out in theaters next year.

Daniel Radcliffe’s Next Role Is Poet Allen Ginsberg

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘I’m hoping to make this year just about film, film, film,’ ‘Woman in Black’ star tells MTV News. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Daniel Radcliffe While we are still anxiously awaiting the release of “The Woman in Black,” Daniel Radcliffe ‘s first big post-“Harry Potter” film, it’s never too early to start thinking about what other projects the young superstar will be considering after “Black” opens. When MTV News caught up with Radcliffe recently, we asked him to give us some clues as to what we might expect from him in the next year, specifically whether he’d officially signed on to a new film following the release of “Black.” “Closer and getting closer every day, but not anything confirmed yet, unfortunately,” Radcliffe said of his 2012 working schedule and several film roles he’s considering. “Hopefully I’ll definitely have three weeks off in February and then shortly after that, I would hopefully be making a film and it would hopefully be over here,” he said of his wishes to continue working Stateside, following his run on Broadway in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” “That would be an entirely new experience for me; I’ve never filmed in America. I’d really like to do that, with an American crew and have that experience,” he said. “I’m hoping to make this year just about film, film, film and then maybe get back onstage maybe in the next two years.” While he was cagey about exactly which films he’s considering, one Radcliffe role MTV News can now confirm is poet Allen Ginsberg in the independent film “Kill Your Darlings,” which is about how Ginsberg and fellow Beat Generation icons Jack Kerouac and Lucien Carr first met. “It’s one of the things that’s on the table absolutely. It would be amazing and I’m very, very enthused for that script and that young director,” he said of the John Krokidas-helmed project, which is also set to star Elizabeth Olsen, who recently raved about Radcliffe’s talent and her excitement to work with him in “Darlings.” “It’s an independent film, it’s welcome to the world of independent film — from one day to the next it could happen or not happen. Until I’m there on the set, I’m not going to say anything about it.” Would Daniel Radcliffe do well in the role of Allen Ginsberg? Tell us what you think in the comments!

REVIEW: Howl Gives Allen Ginsberg’s Funky Genius the Collage Treatment

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on REVIEW: Howl Gives Allen Ginsberg’s Funky Genius the Collage Treatment

Filmmakers feel an understandable urge to rise to the occasion when committing the lives of ’60s saints and mold-busting mavericks like Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg to the screen. Dylan got Todd Haynes’s 2007 deconstruction of the biopic, I’m Not There (in which David Cross appears as Ginsburg in an indelible cameo). And now Ginsberg is the subject of Howl , a collagist treatment of his creation myth. Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman began their account of the conception of Ginsburg’s titular declamatory opus and the 1957 obscenity trial that followed its publication as a straight documentary. After roughing out the usual talking heads and archival footage, it became clear to the directors of The Times of Harvey Milk (Epstein only) and The Celluloid Closet that the best way to honor their subject was to get a little funky.
