When it comes to the host of the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, the network has made a perfect selection. A Pitch Perfect selection, we should say! Rebel Wilson will become the first female emcee of this event in six years, as MTV announced the 26-year old actress will helm its annual big screen celebration on April 14. Below, we’ve posted Wilson’s first MTV Movie Awards trailer, which aired last night during the Jersey Shore series finale : 2103 MTV Movie Awards Trailer
Let’s give Kim Kardashian points for honesty. And hilarity. The giant-breasted reality star has openly taken issue with Instagram because the company’s new Terms of Service agreement can be interpreted as giving it permission to sell client photos without compensating the user. What is Kim’s main issue with this controversial addendum? “I just don’t think they should have the right to sell [our photos] to advertising companies on our behalf,” Kardashian told TMZ yesterday. “What if we don’t want to advertise what they want? HA! That’s a good one, Kim Kardashian. When was the last time you didn’t want to advertise with a company? Oh, right. When you weren’t paid for it. In reality, this is an understandable point of contention for Kim and any Instagram client, although the company’s CEO says the wording has been misunderstood and Instagram cannot actually sell your likeness to the highest bidder. Still, will Kim take her nearly six million followers to another photo-sharing site? “I just hope they revise it,” she said ominously of the Instagram policy.
Rapper Fat Joe pleaded guilty Thursday to failing to pay taxes on nearly $3 million in income he earned over two years for concerts and music royalties. The artist, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, was once a chart topper with several hits like the duet “What’s Luv” with R&B singer Ashanti. Cartagena entered the plea in federal court in Newark because some of the companies he earned money from are incorporated in New Jersey. The 42-year-old entered pleas to two counts covering years 2007 and 2008. His sentencing will take into consideration the government’s initial allegation that he failed to pay income taxes for years 2007 through 2010. Federal prosecutors said the total tax loss to the government was $718,038. Wearing a navy suit in court to plead guilty, Fat Joe looked fit and considerably slimmer than the former size that had earned him his rapper nickname. He has been public about efforts to shed weight after fellow rap stars died from obesity-related issues and has spoke to kids about health and fitness. In federal court Thursday, when asked by U.S. Magistrate Cathy Waldor if he understood the charges he was facing, he replied, “I super-understand it.” Cartagena’s lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, said outside court that his client “had already taken steps to resolve this situation” before he had been charged. He said the rapper hoped to pay back the taxes by his April 3 sentencing. The judge set bail at $250,000 and released Cartagena. He could face up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $200,000, plus penalties from the IRS.
