Iggy Azalea is the first white female rapper to ever appear on XXL Magazine’s Freshman cover, and T.I. wasted no time in signing the Australian femcee to his Grand Hustle label! According to Iggy, “Tip reached out just to meet me, to say hello, and I found a position for him conveniently where he could be used, and he was f*cking with it.” That isn’t quite how T.I remembers it. “Her exact words were, ‘It’s very smart of you to call me because I’m going to be smashing shit for quite some time now and no one will be able to breathe if you’re not on my team,” said the Atlanta rapper!

Channing Tatum’s days as Duke might be numbered in Jon Chu’s sequel. By Josh Wigler Bruce Willis in “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” Photo: Paramount Pictures Either Jon Chu and I have a lot in common, or the “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” director was checking in on me during my formative years and caught me spending hours playing with my Joe toys. At least that’s the impression I’m getting from the brand-new “G.I. Joe” trailer , which looks like it was lifted directly from my childhood and projected onto the big screen. (You could have said hi by the way, Jon!) Between fan-favorite character Roadblock (played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ) ripping enemies to shreds with an automatic heavy gun, Snake Eyes and Jinx repelling from a mountainside cleaving bad-guy ninjas along the way, and a perfectly delivered one-liner from Bruce Willis , it’s safe to say that every square inch of the “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” trailer is filled with win. But in the midst of all that action, there are some hidden details you may have missed. To that end, here are five key scenes from the “G.I. Joe” trailer you’ll want to pay attention to. Warning: Some potential spoilers ahead. Bye-Bye, Duke? Hey, there’s Channing Tatum ! Wait … where’d he go? There are only a handful of Tatum appearances in the trailer, which comes as a bit of a shock, considering his lead role in the last “G.I. Joe” flick. Perhaps he’s being downplayed to show off the Rock and an army of ninjas (totally cool by me), or perhaps his absence hints at a darker fate in store for Duke. Mouse Trap In other folks-who-are-likely-to-die news, there’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance from Joseph Mazzello as Mouse near the top of the trailer: He’s sitting right next to Flint ( D.J. Cotrona ) on the aircraft that’s unknowingly leading the Joes to certain doom. Given that Mouse isn’t a household name in the “Joe” community, as well as the absolute mayhem we see next, chances are very high that the “Jurassic Park” vet’s days are numbered. Cobra Rises Very few will complain about the lack of “Rise of Cobra” carryover in the new “Retaliation” trailer, but if there’s one thing all “Joe” fans can get behind, it’s the return of President Zartan. His position at the top of the U.S. government was easily the most tantalizing cliffhanger in “Rise,” and based on the Cobra banners draped over the side of the White House, “Retaliation” is following through on that potential in a very, very big way. Hail to the Chief Lest you think Zartan is the movie’s big bad, even the President has someone to answer to. Like Mouse, Cobra Commander makes an incredibly brief appearance in the “Retaliation” trailer, sandwiched between Zartan and new baddie Firefly ( Ray Stevenson ) at the one-minute mark. He’s sporting his classic metal face mask, easily the character’s most popular look, and by all appearances, the commander has come a long way from Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s winky goofball performance in “Rise.” Now, if only we knew who was playing him this time around … Kiss Those Lips Goodbye! Read my lips: Snake Eyes’ rubber-masked ninja mouth is gone, gone, gone! Almost as offensive as nipples on the Batsuit, Snake’s inexplicable on-costume mouth was a huge bone of contention for the “Joe” fanbase. Thankfully, we can kiss those lips goodbye and keep them firmly in the past where they belong. Also, even if Snake Eyes still looked mouthy, he slaughters an army of evil ninjas while running along a mountainside. That’s so cool that even rubber lips would be mostly forgivable.

Travie McCoy says the clip, featuring Neon Hitch, shows the ‘struggle’ of a long-distance relationship. By Christina Garibaldi Travie McCoy in the Gym Class Heroes’ “Ass Back Home” video Photo: Fueled By Ramen Life on the road can be tough for a musician — just ask Gym Class Heroes . On Monday, the group premiered their video for “Ass Back Home,” the third single from their latest album, The Paper Chronicles II. The clip was shot while the group was on tour and shows frontman Travie McCoy struggling with a long-distance relationship while spending his life on the road. MTV News recently caught up with Gym Class Heroes at Z100’s annual Jingle Ball concert , and they told us how they came up with the concept for their latest video. “It’s us on the road and it’s shot really gritty,” McCoy said. “So it kind of gives people a behind-the-scenes at what it’s like to be on the road, traveling nonstop and also that tension, that struggle of trying to keep a relationship afloat.” Bassist Eric Roberts added:” I remember when I was watching some cuts of the video, I totally just lost thought of the song, and I was just paying attention. I was like, ‘Oh, it’s kind of like a movie.’ ” Playing McCoy’s love interest in the video is British newcomer Neon Hitch, who also sings the chorus. The electro-pop singer, who describes herself as a “free spirit,” was the perfect choice not only for the song, but for the video as well. “They just thought I would fit the song perfectly,” Hitch told MTV News. “So it just happened magically.” It seems like Gym Class Heroes couldn’t agree more. “The song was actually produced by Benny Blanco, and Benny’s worked with Neon in the past,” McCoy said. “I think if anybody gets the song and as far as the message of the song and what the song’s about, it’d be her, because she’s kind of in the midst of all this. Not only did she go above and beyond the call of duty as far as singing it, but it’s something that she can totally relate to, so it’s perfect.” Last month, Gym Class Heroes were forced to cancel the remaining dates of their North American tour due to illness, but fear not, GCH fans: They are planning to get back on the road in the new year. “We wrapped this year up with all the Christmas shows and top of the year, next year, we head overseas,” McCoy said. “And then we come back here to destroy the U.S.” What do you think of Gym Class Heroes’ latest video?

With ‘Mortal Instruments’ and ‘Snow White’ still to come, the badass-yet-relatable actress is destined for mega-fame. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Kara Warner Lily Collins Photo: MTV News We called it way back in January: Lily Collins was an actress to watch in 2011. At that point, her career was just heating up following a turn as Sandra Bullock’s daughter in “The Blind Side.” An impressive series of castings in high-profile films followed: “Priest,” “Abduction” opposite Taylor Lautner and an adaptation of the best-selling YA series “The Mortal Instruments.” A few months later, she landed the role of Snow White in Relativity Media’s Julia Roberts-starring take on the fairy tale. Collins is making good on our predictions, which is why we’ve selected her as part of our New Class — a collection of young talent about to rise to the top of Hollywood, including her “Mortal Instruments” co-star Jamie Campbell Bower . With her badass-yet-relatable roles, Collins is our New Class’ “Ass-Kicking Girl Next Door.” Though she’s had all of 2011 to get used to the spotlight, the whole celebrity thing continues to feel odd. “It feels very surreal,” she told us at the “Abduction” red carpet. “It’s weird getting out of a car and people are saying my name. It’s still a weird concept to me.” Give her time. Collins told us she’d like to model her career after Keira Knightley, Kate Winslet or Meryl Streep. “I like that none of them have stuck themselves in a box,” she said. “They’ve done all sorts of roles — comedic, dramatic, they’ve gone from indies to big motion pictures. I love their choices.” And she’s a fan of the New Class itself, which includes not only Bower, but Emma Watson, Josh Hutcherson, Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev. “It’s an honor to be placed in the New Class of actors,” Collins said. “I’m doing what I love, and I’m having the best time.” For more on all the up-and-comers who make up MTV’s New Class , go to TheNewClass.MTV.com .

I hear all this, you know, “Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.”—No! There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Rumproast Discovery Date : 21/09/2011 02:48 Number of articles : 3
Don’t pretend like a new American Pie movie couldn’t work . You sit through the sequels when they’re on Encore or TeenNICK, or whatever. Horniness is a watchable thing! In this new photo, we see the class of ’99 crowd the photo booth for old times’ sake. Don’t deny the cuteness.
I just want to remind you that Kylie and Kendall Jenner are not of legal age. That said, let’s move along. Here are the girls at some event for the Kardashian clothing line or something wearing some grown up clothing. I bet whoever organized this stupid event is pissed that Kim Kardashian isn’t there, she’s the one that puts asses in the seats so to speak, who gives a crap about these kids? Shouldn’t they be back to school shopping or sending suggestive pictures of themselves to boys in their class or something? I’m bored.
