Justin Bieber Thinks Aziz Ansari’s ‘Baby’ Parody Is ‘Hilarious’

‘I loved the video,’ Bieber says about Ansari’s Funny or Die offering. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: MTV News “Parks and Recreation” star Aziz Ansari’s alter ego Raaaaaaaandy has declared war on Justin Bieber . In a Funny or Die video , he claims that Bieber stole his song “Baby” from him, and Raaaaaaaandy sits down to dish all about the day that Bieber (played by a lookalike) stopped by his studio, heard Raaaaaaaandy’s “Baby Baby” and then later released his own soundalike tune “Baby.” “Two months ago I was in the studio, working on the Raaaaaaaandy mixtape and Justin Bieber stops by … what happens next?” he teased, before continuing with his tale. “That’s real nice, man,” Fake Bieber tells Raaaaaaaandy before shooting him and telling him to keep his mouth shut until he releases his own version of the hit track. What happens next? Bieber trashes Raaaaaaaandy’s studio and leaves Raaaaaaaandy a message not to mess with him. As it turns out, the real Justin Bieber finds the whole video pretty hilarious. “Yeah yeah yeah! I saw it! It was hilarious. I loved the video,” Bieber told MTV news. “He did a great job and the so-called Justin Bieber in the video was hilarious.” And while Bieber gives a big “maybe” to collaborating with Raaaaaaaandy in the future, Ansari has made it clear on his Twitter page that he’s serious about getting Bieber back for the plagiarism. “Swear I just saw 12 yr old with a doo rag … messing w/my car. Brakes might get cut,” he joked. “#BiebersAfterMe.” Related Artists Justin Bieber

Jessica Simpson On Working With ‘Dear Friend’ Billy Corgan

‘It was great to be able to collaborate with him,’ she says of Smashing Pumpkins frontman. By Jocelyn Vena Jessica Simpson Photo: MTV News Jessica Simpson worked with a seemingly unlikely collaborator on her new track “Who We Are,” the theme to her new docu-series, “The Price of Beauty” : Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan . “Billy is a dear friend of mine and I asked him to help out with arranging the song,” she told MTV News. “And he had some ideas to change it up a bit musically and some really cool arrangements and some great guitar things.” Simpson explained that working with Corgan, who came to the singer’s defense after John Mayer made explicit comments about her in a recent Playboy interview, really taught her a lot. “To be able to sit with Billy [is a learning experience], and I always feel comfortable with him ’cause he is a close friend of mine,” she said. “And I know he had my best interest at heart and it was great to be able to collaborate with him and to have him there in the studio.” The song embraces the show’s theme about loving the person you are . “I ended up writing the song with some friends and it was about all these places that I’d gone to and the experience that I had,” she said. “It’s about the beauty of who we are and embracing that and knowing that we are all authentic — that every single person is different,” she added. “But they all have something different about themselves that they need to discover.” Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Jessica Simpson Related Photos The Evolution Of: Jessica Simpson Related Artists Jessica Simpson Billy Corgan The Smashing Pumpkins

Jessica Simpson Hates Guys Checking Her Out

Jessica Simpson is all self-conscious thanks to that douchebag John Mayer. After the singer told Playboy that she was “sexual napalm” and that he wanted to “snort her like crack,” Jess is concerned about guys checking her out 24/7. Monday on The View , Simpson said Mayer’s revealing Playboy interview was “embarrassing. I’ll walk into a restaurant and I feel like men are looking at me.” “I feel like they’re undressing me.” Yeah, John Mayer’s interview is when that all started. No one goes to a Jessica Simpson concert or watches her movies because of her charisma. Just sayin’. As she’s said before, the star said Mayer’s apology “doesn’t really matter.” Will she ever take him back? “He’ll never have this napalm again!” she declared. Amen, sister. Simpson also shot down her rumored romance with Billy Corgan . “I can’t meet anyone without being married the next week,” Simpson said of Corgan, who helped produce theme song for The Price of Beauty, which premieres tonight. “He is one of my dear friends … he understands my heart.” Deep . Also a clothing designer, Jess told The View panel about a new product: “I’m actually about to put out a denim line: sexy mom jeans !” Sure to be a hot seller . Check out a clip of Sexual Napalm on The View below … Jessica on The View

Jessica Simpson On John Mayer: ‘He’ll Never Have This Napalm Again’

Simpson addresses Mayer’s Playboy comments, Billy Corgan on ‘The View.’ By Jocelyn Vena Jessica Simpson on “The View” Photo: ABC It seems like all anyone wants to talk to Jessica Simpson about is her love life . Is she still angry that John Mayer dished about their sex in Playboy ? Is she dating Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan ? And while she is now able to laugh off Mayer’s comments about her, she neither confirmed nor denied that she’s romantically involved with Corgan when she stopped by “The View” on Monday (March 15). “Yes, my phone has been ringing. It’s more embarrassing ’cause I’ll walk into a restaurant or something and I’ll notice more men are looking at me,” she said of the response to Mayer’s comments, which included calling her “sexual napalm.” “And he’ll never have this napalm again. Well, [I don’t need to curse him out], that’s why I do shows like this!” She added that while they were dating, the only “stupid” comment he made to her was that they should break up. “He did apologize, but I mean, at this point it doesn’t really matter,” she said. “I mean, I only thought he was stupid for breaking up with me.” So with her romance with Mayer behind her, is she dating Corgan, who helped her on the track for her new VH1 show, “The Price of Beauty” ? “I can’t meet anybody! I’m marrying them the next week,” she said. “Billy is one of my dear friends and he did help arrange the song. He understands my heart and knew what I wanted to do.” Not only did she address her weight again , as well as her new TV show, she also looked to the future, which she hopes will include kids. “I can’t wait to have kids. Well, honestly, if I don’t have kids by the time I’m 40, my best friend [and hairstylist] Ken Paves and I are going to have children,” she said. “Oh no! I’m not pregnant!” Related Photos A Look Back: John Mayer And Jessica Simpson Related Artists Jessica Simpson John Mayer

Billy Corgan Is the Guy Who Lets You Cry on His Shoulder, Then Cops a Feel [Dating Games]

Jessica Simpson refuses to call Billy Corgan her boyfriend, but “If I am going through a hard time I definitely would talk to Billy.” She has fallen for the oldest romantic gambit in the book: the Sneaky Nice Guy Lover . It’s the seventh mystery of the celebrity world: How does Billy Corgan keep scoring hot chicks? The whitest, baldest man in the world has been linked to Jessica Simpson, Helena Christensen, Tila Tequila, various hot indie musicians , and a hot weather girl . Most recently, after Billy lambasted Jessica’s mean ex John Mayer to Rolling Stone , Jess gave a glowing statement to E!’s Marc Malkin about her “very loyal friend” Billy: “Billy is a dear dear friend of mine,” Simpson tells me. “If I am going through a hard time I definitely would talk to Billy. He always has the best words. Billy is a loyal friend—a very loyal friend. And that’s nice to have these days.” Now we know how Billy does it: He is a Sneaky Nice Guy Lover*, the kind who lets you cry on your shoulder, then cops a feel. He will listen to you whine about your mean ex-boyfriend and say you deserve someone better, someone who will respect you—someone like him.** You will fall for it because you like to be flattered. You will lead him on under the guise of “platonic friends.” Maybe you will use the phrase “like a brother.” But notice how he never denies the relationship; he will let the rumor mill churn. He will linger in the background, floating like a ghost in the corner of photographs. He will put up with your tomfoolery and juvenile antics because he knows that, if he waits long enough, in a moment of weakness you will cave in. Then he will make you his sneaky needy fuck buddy, or his sneaky needy girlfriend, or his sneaky needy wife. As far as sneaky lover gambits go, you may think, the one’s not so bad. He’s better than the handsome jackass you used to date. But this is the sneaky logic of the Sneaky Nice Guy Lover, who may be fooling himself as much as he is fooling you. For a relationship that is sneaked is not a relationship freely chosen, and breaking free from your sneaky nice guy/sneaky needy girl dichotomy is next to impossible. So look out, Jessica, and quit deluding yourself. That “dear friend” is going to be your sneaky new boyfriend—if he isn’t already. See also : Sneaky co-worker you shouldn’t let do so many favors, sneaky writer-romantic who wants to trade poems, sneaky sober people who hangs out with drunks. * Sneaky Nice Guy Lovers (SNGL) are not to be confused with regular, non-sneaky Nice Guy Lovers (NGL), who should always win the dating game. Quit dating jackasses and quit dating sneaks, ladies. ** If you are an SNGL, consider dropping the ‘S’ and pursuing a lady who likes you when she isn’t needy, who won’t just lead you on. Together, we will defeat the sneak.

Billy Corgan to John Mayer: Shut Your Mouth!

Jessica Simpson has taken issue with, and refused to accept an apology regarding John Mayer’s recent Playboy interview in which he talked about railing her. Now Billy Corgan, who has recently been linked to Jessica, is sounding off on the topic as well. “He’s trying to destroy his career,” Corgan tells Rolling Stone . “Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction, some part of it is irritating [John Mayer’s] soul to the point where he’s trying to blow it up.” “Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, it’s hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground speaking as somebody who’s done it.” Ruin his career by being a douchebag ? Interesting theory … Billy Corgan has come to the defense of Jessica Simpson. “For any person who has celebrity to drop rocks at somebody else’s feet like that, there’s things you should really just keep your mouths shut on,” says Corgan. “There’s things that should just be left alone.” The Smashing Pumpkins rocker, who declined to confirm his relationship status with Simpson, recently told Rolling Stone that she is definitely worthy of love. “If people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do,” said Billy, who helped her pen the theme song for The Price of Beauty , which airs March 15. For her part, Jessica says that despite John’s betrayal and d!ck move, she has no trust issues going forward. Everyone can now breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Phew: Jessica Simpson Has No Trust Issues

Thank goodness. Despite John Mayer’s recent comments, in which he spoke in no uncertain terms about boning Jessica Simpson, she says she’s still a trusting person deep down. “I’m not as guarded as you would think. I should probably be more guarded. I trust a lot of people, actually,” the actress told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. Not that she’s over being disappointed in John , who has apologized for calling her “sexual napalm” and “crack cocaine,” and whose apology she did not accept. “That’s truly how I felt and still feel,” she said . “Somebody that you have cared about for a long time, you just hope they can keep the intimate things intimate.” LIKE CRACK : We hear that describes her in bed. Someone said that … In all honesty, as much as we think John Mayer is a pretentious a$$clown who needs to go the hell away, does Jessica really have to keep harping on this issue? How “betrayed” can you be? You dated a guy, he bragged about it later. That makes him a jackass, absolutely, but it’s not like he boned CaCee Cobb. He said she was amazing in bed! Again, he’s an idiotic douchebag , but at the crux of Mayer’s Playboy interview was praise for Simpson’s sex moves. After taking John to task, she spoke warmly of Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan , who worked with her on the theme for her show The Price of Beauty . “I can’t find good enough words to speak about Billy,” Simpson said. “He’s a very, very dear friend. For him to give his time and his talents and share them with me, it was a great experience. And I hope we can do more music together.” Sexual Napalm denies making anything more than music with him, though.
